Needs manual review (axe could not decide)

Nothing flagged for manual review.

Not checked by any automated tool

axe-core reliably automates roughly a third to a half of WCAG success criteria. A clean run above means no automated violations — not “accessible”, and not “WCAG AA”. The standard, the conformance target and the contrast policy live in docs/accessibility-standard.md.

Keyboard traps, focus order, focus visibility — needs the page driven, and a judgement about whether the resulting order is meaningful
Meaningful sequence / reading order — a DOM order can be perfectly valid and still read as nonsense
Alt-text QUALITY — presence is checked here; whether it describes the image is a human judgement (alt-text-writer writes, a human verifies)
Video captions, audio description, transcripts — media assets are not inspected at all
Form error identification and recovery — needs a real submission with real bad input
Link purpose in context, heading usefulness — structural checks pass on well-formed nonsense
Anything behind authentication — nothing in the QA lane logs in
