Accessibility checks

AI and managers use this checklist when reviewing an approved user journey. Follow nepwalk-fe/design-system.md for implementation tokens and controls.

• Check keyboard access, visible focus and sensible focus order.
• For dialogs, check focus entry, keyboard containment and return to the trigger.
• Check readable text and contrast; never assume a brand color passes without checking.
• Keep status understandable through labels and icons as well as color.
• Check usable touch targets and readable layouts on a phone and with text enlarged.
• Give inputs labels and connect errors to their fields.
• Give icon-only buttons accessible names and informative images useful alternative text.
• Check empty, loading, error and success states; announce relevant dynamic updates.
• Respect reduced-motion preferences. Do not make essential actions gesture-only.

Record the device/browser, steps, expected and observed results, and evidence. Mark checks not performed as untested. A build or automated scan alone does not establish accessibility or manual acceptance.
