- ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
11
- - ❌ Adding `role='button'` to a `<div>` instead of using `<button>` -> ✅ Native HTML elements have built-in keyboard and screen reader support
12
- - ❌ Using `aria-label` on elements that already have visible text -> ✅ Redundant ARIA overrides visible text for screen readers; use only when needed
13
- - Color as the only indicator of state -> ✅ Always pair color with icon, text, or pattern for colorblind users (1 in 12 males)
14
- - ❌ Assuming accessibility is a checklist to run at the end -> ✅ Build accessible from the start; retrofitting is 10x more expensive

20
-
21
- ---
22
-
23
- ## 1. Semantic HTML over `<div>` Soup
24
-
25
- The first rule of ARIA: **Use native HTML elements whenever possible.**
26
-
27
- ```html
28
- <!-- BAD: Meaningless markup, screen readers see nothing, no keyboard focus -->
29
- <div class="submit-button" onclick="submit()">Submit</div>
30
-
31
- <!-- GOOD: Native semantic element (inherits focus, Enter/Space key behavior) -->
32
- <button type="submit" class="button">Submit</button>
33
-
34
- <!-- BAD: Div as a link -->
35
- <div onclick="goToPath('/about')">About Us</div>
36
-
37
- <!-- GOOD: Native anchor -->
38
- <a href="/about">About Us</a>
39
- ```
40
-
41
- ### Layout Semantics
42
- Replace `<div class="x">` with meaning:
43
- - `<header>` / `<footer>`
44
- - `<nav>` (Main navigations)
45
- - `<main>` (The primary content)
46
- - `<article>` (Self-contained content blocks)
47
- - `<aside>` (Sidebars, callouts)
48
-
49
- ---
50
-
51
- ## 2. Keyboard Navigation & Focus Management
52
-
53
- Every interactive element MUST be keyboard accessible.
54
-
55
- ```css
56
- /* BAD: Removing focus outlines ruins keyboard navigation */
57
- *:focus { outline: none; }
58
-
59
- /* ✅ GOOD: Using :focus-visible for keyboard users only */
60
- *:focus { outline: none; } /* Hide for click */
61
- *:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid var(--accent-color); outline-offset: 2px; }
62
- ```
63
-
64
- ### Managing Focus in Modals (Dialogs)
65
- When a modal opens:
66
- 1. Focus must move into the modal (first focusable element).
67
- 2. Focus must be trapped inside the modal (Tabbing loops inside it).
68
- 3. Background must be hidden from screen readers (`aria-hidden="true"`).
69
- 4. `Escape` key must close it.
70
- 5. When closed, focus returns to the button that opened it.
71
-
72
- ```html
73
- <!-- ✅ BEST: Use the native <dialog> element. It handles focus trapping automatically! -->
74
- <dialog id="myModal">
75
- <h2>Settings</h2>
76
- <button formmethod="dialog">Close</button>
77
- </dialog>
78
- <script>document.getElementById('myModal').showModal();</script>
79
- ```
80
-
81
- ---
82
-
83
- ## 3. ARIA Roles & Attributes
84
-
85
- When you build complex custom widgets (like tabs or accordions), you must apply ARIA attributes to tell screen readers what it is and what state it's in.
86
-
87
- ```html
88
- <!-- Example: Custom Accordion/Disclosure -->
89
- <!-- ❌ BAD: Screen reader sees plain text, doesn't know it's expandable -->
90
- <div class="accordion">
91
- <div class="header">Advanced Settings</div>
92
- <div class="content" style="display: none;">...</div>
93
- </div>
94
-
95
- <!-- ✅ GOOD: ARIA provides context -->
96
- <div class="accordion">
97
- <button
98
- aria-expanded="false"
99
- aria-controls="panel-id"
100
- id="header-id"
101
- >
102
- Advanced Settings
103
- </button>
104
- <div
105
- id="panel-id"
106
- role="region"
107
- aria-labelledby="header-id"
108
- hidden
109
- >
110
- ...
111
- </div>
112
- </div>
113
- ```
114
-
115
- **Crucial ARIA states:**
116
- - `aria-expanded="true/false"`: For accordions, dropdowns, menus.
117
- - `aria-hidden="true"`: Removes decorative icons/containers from the screen reader tree.
118
- - `aria-pressed="true/false"`: For toggle buttons.
119
- - `aria-invalid="true"`: For invalid form fields.
120
-
121
- ---
122
-
123
- ## 4. Forms & Labels
124
-
125
- **Every input must have an associated label.** `placeholder` is NOT a label (it disappears when typing, causing cognitive loss).
126
-

- ## 5. Live Regions (Dynamic Updates)
155
-
156
- When content changes dynamically without a page reload (e.g., Toast notifications, AI responding, search results updating), the screen reader needs to be notified.
157
-
158
- ```html
159
- <!--
160
- role="alert": Interrupts the user immediately (e.g., error).
161
- role="status" (or aria-live="polite"): Waits until the user pauses, then announces.
162
- -->
163
- <div aria-live="polite" class="sr-only">
164
- <!-- JavaScript injects: "3 items found" here, screen reader reads it aloud -->
165
- </div>
166
- ```

- AI coding assistants often fall into specific bad habits when dealing with this domain. These are strictly forbidden:
176
-
177
- 1. **Over-engineering:** Proposing complex abstractions or distributed systems when a simpler approach suffices.
178
- 2. **Hallucinated Libraries/Methods:** Using non-existent methods or packages. Always `// VERIFY` or check `package.json` / `requirements.txt`.
179
- 3. **Skipping Edge Cases:** Writing the "happy path" and ignoring error handling, timeouts, or data validation.
180
- 4. **Context Amnesia:** Forgetting the user's constraints and offering generic advice instead of tailored solutions.
181
- 5. **Silent Degradation:** Catching and suppressing errors without logging or re-raising.

13
+ ## Hallucination Traps (Read First)
14
+
15
+ - ❌ Adding `role='button'` to a `<div>` instead of using `<button>` -> ✅ Native HTML elements have built-in keyboard and screen reader support
16
+ - ❌ Using `aria-label` on elements that already have visible text -> ✅ Redundant ARIA overrides visible text for screen readers; use only when needed
17
+ - ❌ Color as the only indicator of state -> ✅ Always pair color with icon, text, or pattern for colorblind users (1 in 12 males)
18
+ - ❌ Assuming accessibility is a checklist to run at the end -> ✅ Build accessible from the start; retrofitting is 10x more expensive

25
+
26
+ ## 1. Semantic HTML over `<div>` Soup
27
+
28
+ The first rule of ARIA: **Use native HTML elements whenever possible.**
29
+
30
+ ```html
31
+ <!-- BAD: Meaningless markup, screen readers see nothing, no keyboard focus -->
32
+ <div class="submit-button" onclick="submit()">Submit</div>
33
+
34
+ <!-- GOOD: Native semantic element (inherits focus, Enter/Space key behavior) -->
35
+ <button type="submit" class="button">Submit</button>
36
+
37
+ <!-- BAD: Div as a link -->
38
+ <div onclick="goToPath('/about')">About Us</div>
39
+
40
+ <!-- ✅ GOOD: Native anchor -->
41
+ <a href="/about">About Us</a>
42
+ ```
43
+
44
+ ### Layout Semantics
45
+
46
+ Replace `<div class="x">` with meaning:
47
+
48
+ - `<header>` / `<footer>`
49
+ - `<nav>` (Main navigations)
50
+ - `<main>` (The primary content)
51
+ - `<article>` (Self-contained content blocks)
52
+ - `<aside>` (Sidebars, callouts)
53
+
54
+ ---
55
+
56
+ ## 2. Keyboard Navigation & Focus Management
57
+
58
+ Every interactive element MUST be keyboard accessible.
59
+
60
+ ```css
61
+ /* BAD: Removing focus outlines ruins keyboard navigation */
62
+ *:focus {
63
+ outline: none;
64
+ }
65
+
66
+ /* GOOD: Using :focus-visible for keyboard users only */
67
+ *:focus {
68
+ outline: none;
69
+ } /* Hide for click */
70
+ *:focus-visible {
71
+ outline: 2px solid var(--accent-color);
72
+ outline-offset: 2px;
73
+ }
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ ### Managing Focus in Modals (Dialogs)
77
+
78
+ When a modal opens:
79
+
80
+ 1. Focus must move into the modal (first focusable element).
81
+ 2. Focus must be trapped inside the modal (Tabbing loops inside it).
82
+ 3. Background must be hidden from screen readers (`aria-hidden="true"`).
83
+ 4. `Escape` key must close it.
84
+ 5. When closed, focus returns to the button that opened it.
85
+
86
+ ```html
87
+ <!-- ✅ BEST: Use the native <dialog> element. It handles focus trapping automatically! -->
88
+ <dialog id="myModal">
89
+ <h2>Settings</h2>
90
+ <button formmethod="dialog">Close</button>
91
+ </dialog>
92
+ <script>
93
+ document.getElementById("myModal").showModal();
94
+ </script>
95
+ ```
96
+
97
+ ---
98
+
99
+ ## 3. ARIA Roles & Attributes
100
+
101
+ When you build complex custom widgets (like tabs or accordions), you must apply ARIA attributes to tell screen readers what it is and what state it's in.
102
+
103
+ ```html
104
+ <!-- Example: Custom Accordion/Disclosure -->
105
+ <!-- ❌ BAD: Screen reader sees plain text, doesn't know it's expandable -->
106
+ <div class="accordion">
107
+ <div class="header">Advanced Settings</div>
108
+ <div class="content" style="display: none;">...</div>
109
+ </div>
110
+
111
+ <!-- ✅ GOOD: ARIA provides context -->
112
+ <div class="accordion">
113
+ <button aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="panel-id" id="header-id">Advanced Settings</button>
114
+ <div id="panel-id" role="region" aria-labelledby="header-id" hidden>...</div>
115
+ </div>
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ **Crucial ARIA states:**
119
+
120
+ - `aria-expanded="true/false"`: For accordions, dropdowns, menus.
121
+ - `aria-hidden="true"`: Removes decorative icons/containers from the screen reader tree.
122
+ - `aria-pressed="true/false"`: For toggle buttons.
123
+ - `aria-invalid="true"`: For invalid form fields.
124
+
125
+ ---
126
+
127
+ ## 4. Forms & Labels
128
+
129
+ **Every input must have an associated label.** `placeholder` is NOT a label (it disappears when typing, causing cognitive loss).
130
+
131
+ ```html
132
+ <!-- BAD -->
133
+ <input type="text" placeholder="Email Address">
134
+
135
+ <!-- ✅ GOOD: Explicit linking via id/for -->
136
+ <label for="email">Email Address</label>
137
+ <input type="email" id="email" name="email">
138
+
139
+ <!-- ✅ GOOD: Implicit wrapping -->
140
+ <label>
141
+ Email Address
142
+ <input type="email" name="email">
143
+ </label>
144
+
145
+ <!-- Accessible Error Messages -->
146
+ <label for="username">Username</label>
147
+ <input
148
+ type="text"
149
+ id="username"
150
+ aria-invalid="true"
151
+ aria-describedby="username-error"
152
+
153
+ <span id="username-error" role="alert" class="error-msg">Username is already taken</span>
154
+ ```
