+Concise rules for building accessible, fast, delightful UIs. Use MUST/SHOULD/NEVER to guide decisions.
+
+## Interactions
+
+### Keyboard
+
+- MUST: Full keyboard support per [WAI-ARIA APG](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/)
+- MUST: Visible focus rings (`:focus-visible`; group with `:focus-within`)
+- MUST: Manage focus (trap, move, return) per APG patterns
+- NEVER: `outline: none` without visible focus replacement
+
+### Targets & Input
+
+- MUST: Hit target ≥24px (mobile ≥44px); if visual <24px, expand hit area
+- MUST: Mobile `<input>` font-size ≥16px to prevent iOS zoom
+- NEVER: Disable browser zoom (`user-scalable=no`, `maximum-scale=1`)
+- MUST: `touch-action: manipulation` to prevent double-tap zoom
+- SHOULD: Set `-webkit-tap-highlight-color` to match design
+
+### Forms
+
+- MUST: Hydration-safe inputs (no lost focus/value)
+- NEVER: Block paste in `<input>`/`<textarea>`
+- MUST: Loading buttons show spinner and keep original label
+- MUST: Enter submits focused input; in `<textarea>`, ⌘/Ctrl+Enter submits
+- MUST: Keep submit enabled until request starts; then disable with spinner
+- MUST: Accept free text, validate after—don't block typing
+- MUST: Allow incomplete form submission to surface validation
+- MUST: Errors inline next to fields; on submit, focus first error
+- MUST: `autocomplete` + meaningful `name`; correct `type` and `inputmode`
+- SHOULD: Disable spellcheck for emails/codes/usernames
+- SHOULD: Placeholders end with `…` and show example pattern
+- MUST: Warn on unsaved changes before navigation
+- MUST: Compatible with password managers & 2FA; allow pasting codes
+- MUST: Trim values to handle text expansion trailing spaces
+- MUST: No dead zones on checkboxes/radios; label+control share one hit target
+
+### State & Navigation
+
+- MUST: URL reflects state (deep-link filters/tabs/pagination/expanded panels)
+- MUST: Back/Forward restores scroll position
+- MUST: Links use `<a>`/`<Link>` for navigation (support Cmd/Ctrl/middle-click)
+- NEVER: Use `<div onClick>` for navigation
+
+### Feedback
+
+- SHOULD: Optimistic UI; reconcile on response; on failure rollback or offer Undo
+- MUST: Confirm destructive actions or provide Undo window
+- MUST: Use polite `aria-live` for toasts/inline validation
+- SHOULD: Ellipsis (`…`) for options opening follow-ups ("Rename…") and loading states ("Loading…")
+
+### Touch & Drag
+
+- MUST: Generous targets, clear affordances; avoid finicky interactions
+- MUST: Delay first tooltip; subsequent peers instant
+- MUST: `overscroll-behavior: contain` in modals/drawers
+- MUST: During drag, disable text selection and set `inert` on dragged elements
+- MUST: If it looks clickable, it must be clickable
+
+### Autofocus
+
+- SHOULD: Autofocus on desktop with single primary input; rarely on mobile
+
+## Animation
+
+- MUST: Honor `prefers-reduced-motion` (provide reduced variant or disable)
+- SHOULD: Prefer CSS > Web Animations API > JS libraries
+- MUST: Animate compositor-friendly props (`transform`, `opacity`) only
+- NEVER: Animate layout props (`top`, `left`, `width`, `height`)
+- NEVER: `transition: all`—list properties explicitly
+- SHOULD: Animate only to clarify cause/effect or add deliberate delight
+- SHOULD: Choose easing to match the change (size/distance/trigger)
+- MUST: Animations interruptible and input-driven (no autoplay)
+- MUST: Correct `transform-origin` (motion starts where it "physically" should)
+- MUST: SVG transforms on `<g>` wrapper with `transform-box: fill-box`
+
+## Layout
+
+- SHOULD: Optical alignment; adjust ±1px when perception beats geometry
+- MUST: Deliberate alignment to grid/baseline/edges—no accidental placement
+- SHOULD: Balance icon/text lockups (weight/size/spacing/color)
+- MUST: Verify mobile, laptop, ultra-wide (simulate ultra-wide at 50% zoom)
+- MUST: Respect safe areas (`env(safe-area-inset-*)`)
+- MUST: Avoid unwanted scrollbars; fix overflows
+- SHOULD: Flex/grid over JS measurement for layout
+
+## Content & Accessibility
+
+- SHOULD: Inline help first; tooltips last resort
+- MUST: Skeletons mirror final content to avoid layout shift
+- MUST: `<title>` matches current context
+- MUST: No dead ends; always offer next step/recovery
+- MUST: Design empty/sparse/dense/error states
+- SHOULD: Curly quotes (" "); avoid widows/orphans (`text-wrap: balance`)
+- MUST: `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` for number comparisons
+- MUST: Redundant status cues (not color-only); icons have text labels
+- MUST: Accessible names exist even when visuals omit labels
+- MUST: Use `…` character (not `...`)
+- MUST: `scroll-margin-top` on headings; "Skip to content" link; hierarchical `<h1>`–`<h6>`
+- MUST: Resilient to user-generated content (short/avg/very long)
+- MUST: Locale-aware dates/times/numbers (`Intl.DateTimeFormat`, `Intl.NumberFormat`)
+- MUST: Accurate `aria-label`; decorative elements `aria-hidden`
+- MUST: Icon-only buttons have descriptive `aria-label`
+- MUST: Prefer native semantics (`button`, `a`, `label`, `table`) before ARIA
+- MUST: Non-breaking spaces: `10&nbsp;MB`, `⌘&nbsp;K`, brand names
+
+## Content Handling
+
+- MUST: Text containers handle long content (`truncate`, `line-clamp-*`, `break-words`)
+- MUST: Flex children need `min-w-0` to allow truncation
+- MUST: Handle empty states—no broken UI for empty strings/arrays
+
+## Performance
+
+- SHOULD: Test iOS Low Power Mode and macOS Safari
+- MUST: Measure reliably (disable extensions that skew runtime)
+- MUST: Track and minimize re-renders (React DevTools/React Scan)
+- MUST: Profile with CPU/network throttling
+- MUST: Batch layout reads/writes; avoid reflows/repaints
+- MUST: Mutations (`POST`/`PATCH`/`DELETE`) target <500ms
+- SHOULD: Prefer uncontrolled inputs; controlled inputs cheap per keystroke
+- MUST: Virtualize large lists (>50 items)
+- MUST: Preload above-fold images; lazy-load the rest
+- MUST: Prevent CLS (explicit image dimensions)
+- SHOULD: `<link rel="preconnect">` for CDN domains
+- SHOULD: Critical fonts: `<link rel="preload" as="font">` with `font-display: swap`
+
+## Dark Mode & Theming
+
+- MUST: `color-scheme: dark` on `<html>` for dark themes
+- SHOULD: `<meta name="theme-color">` matches page background
+- MUST: Native `<select>`: explicit `background-color` and `color` (Windows fix)
+
+## Hydration
+
+- MUST: Inputs with `value` need `onChange` (or use `defaultValue`)
+- SHOULD: Guard date/time rendering against hydration mismatch
+
+## Design
+
+- SHOULD: Layered shadows (ambient + direct)
+- SHOULD: Crisp edges via semi-transparent borders + shadows
+- SHOULD: Nested radii: child ≤ parent; concentric
+- SHOULD: Hue consistency: tint borders/shadows/text toward bg hue
+- MUST: Accessible charts (color-blind-friendly palettes)
+- MUST: Meet contrast—prefer [APCA](https://apcacontrast.com/) over WCAG 2
+- MUST: Increase contrast on `:hover`/`:active`/`:focus`
+- SHOULD: Match browser UI to bg
+- SHOULD: Avoid dark color gradient banding (use background images when needed)

+Use these sources as the primary references:
+- [a11y-context/wcag-as-json.json](mdc:a11y-context/wcag-as-json.json) for the full WCAG 2.2 success criteria set.
+- [wcag-audit-patterns.md](mdc:.cursor/rules/wcag-audit-patterns.md) for audit methodology.
+- [vercel-a11y-guidelines.mdc](mdc:.cursor/rules/vercel-a11y-guidelines.mdc) and
+  [web-interface-a11y-guidelines.mdc](mdc:.cursor/rules/web-interface-a11y-guidelines.mdc)
+  for supporting accessibility guidance.
+
+## Objective
+Perform a comprehensive WCAG 2.2 AA audit across all UI components, starting from
+atomic components, and consolidate all findings and remediations into a single
+markdown report.
+
+## Strict Requirements
+- Do not skip any WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion.
+- Cross-reference related criteria and evaluate exceptions.
+- Never assume compliance or developer intent.
+- If a component composes other components, re-validate inherited risks.
+- Never stop early; complete the audit for all components.
+- When measurable validation is required (contrast, focus order, etc), generate
+  scripts in `/scripts/`, execute them, and use their outputs.
+
+## Per-Issue Minimum Fields
+Each issue must include:
+- WCAG SC ID
+- Problem statement
+- Why it violates the criterion
+- Code-level fix
+- Testing strategy
+
+## Per-Component Audit Prompt
+You are auditing a single UI component for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance.
+Component: `{{component_name}}`
+
+You must:
+1. Analyze source code.
+2. Identify:
+   - HTML structure
+   - ARIA usage
+   - Events
+   - States
+   - Keyboard interactions
+   - Visual styling
+   - Color tokens
+   - Touch targets
+   - Focus handling
+3. For each WCAG 2.2 AA success criterion:
+   - Evaluate applicability
+   - Check the full requirement
+   - Check exceptions
+   - Cross-reference related criteria
+   - Identify violations
+   - Provide remediation steps
+   - Provide example code fixes
+4. Generate programmatic validation when needed:
+   - Contrast calculation
+   - Focus order simulation
+   - Keyboard trap detection
+   - ARIA role validation
+5. Output structured markdown:
+
+# Component: {{component_name}}

+## Cross-Criteria Risks
+## Required Refactors
+## Automated Tests To Add
+
+Be legally strict. Assume nothing. Cross-reference aggressively.
+
+## Mandatory Validation Checks
+- Treat WCAG as legal requirements.
+- Validate interactive states (hover, focus, active, disabled).
+- Validate keyboard-only navigation.
+- Validate screen reader semantics.
+- Validate touch target size (2.5.5 AA).
+- Validate focus visibility (2.4.7).
+- Validate drag alternatives (2.5.7).
+- Validate target size (2.5.8 if applicable).
+- Validate error handling (3.3.x).
+- Validate name/role/value (4.1.2).
+- Validate status messages (4.1.3).
+
+For any criterion that requires computation (e.g., color contrast), create a
+program, run it, and act on its output. Ensure the program is accurate or the
+audit results will be invalid.
+
+Continue until every component is audited and the report is complete.
