Content

Nodes

2 entries — markdown files validated against a Zod schema

Editorial

edit markdown → git push → Pages builds. No CMS.

Accessibility

Target

WCAG 2.1 AA across every page

Tooling

pa11y-ci via npm run test:a11y — runs locally, not currently gating CI

Status

in progress — the build gate is temporarily off after Cloudflare's headless Chrome computed some color tokens at 4.42:1 (vs the 4.5:1 AA threshold) where local Chrome read them as passing. Tokens have been darkened with headroom; gate will go back on once cross-browser readings agree.

Caveats

Automated tools catch roughly 30–40% of WCAG issues. Manual screen-reader and keyboard testing happens iteratively, not on every commit.
