How to use this page

Use this page as the canonical public reference for Accessibility and its standards-facing content.

For agents: apply the relevant guidance to the user's target site or repository. Do not copy this UAIX page, create a page about the guidance, or treat this page as runtime authority unless the user explicitly asks for that output.

What this page covers

Use this page for the current public accessibility posture across the UAIX launch surface. It explains what launch-ready readability, keyboard use, mobile layout, and manual QA mean on the current public standards site.

Current published accessibility posture

  • Launch-ready pages should use readable real text, keyboard-reachable interactions, contrast-safe presentation, and mobile-safe layouts across the public surface.
  • When a release changes navigation, search, validator workflows, machine-reference pages, downloadable packets, or other primary reading surfaces, manual accessibility QA should travel with the release evidence.
  • The current posture is operational and release-led rather than a separate certification or accessibility-office program.

What reviewers should verify now

  1. Check primary reading routes such as Home, Get Started, UAI-1, and Governance with keyboard-only navigation.
  2. Check whether code blocks, tables, support panels, and validator surfaces remain readable on mobile and at narrower widths.
  3. Check whether contrast, heading hierarchy, and real-text structure remain intact after content or template updates.
  4. Check whether the release trail documents accessibility-significant changes when observable behavior shifted.

What is not claimed

  • UAIX does not currently publish a separate accessibility office, certification badge, or formal legal statement program beyond the current public posture.
  • Do not imply automated accessibility guarantees across all future content; the current claim is a release-facing commitment to readable, reviewable public pages.
  • Do not imply wider institutional support channels unless they are formally published on canonical UAIX pages.

How accessibility-significant changes should travel

  • Update the affected template, page copy, and public guidance together.
  • Keep manual QA notes attached to the release evidence when keyboard flow, readability, or mobile behavior changes.
  • Record the change through Governance, the Changelog, and News when outside readers need dated context.
  • Use Policy and Security when the same release also changes licensing or security-significant posture, and use References and Contributors when another reviewer needs the durable public handoff packet.

Next step

Continue to Policy and Security for the trust-policy hub, or read Analytics when a release changes measurement scripts, embeds, or other observable front-end behavior beside accessibility.
