We will stop repairing a11y failures by default because agents by default don't do this and it would therefore give a more realistic insight into app quality. The main motivator triggering this change is that we occasionally see that a11y repairs re-introduce actual build failures. Those cases are captured as they can be useful insight, but it would rather confuse results in the default mode. Hence the change. The a11y repair attempts can be configured via an opt-in CLI flag.

cc. @tjshiu do we want to chat more about this? We thought this is a necessary change to address the issue, while still supporting insight into how a11y repairs could help/ or regress build success |
