# Phase 8 browser verification — 2026-10-15 UTC
**Checkpoint preparation — 2026-10-15:** The [exact checkpoint manifest](phase-8-checkpoint-manifest-2026-10-15.md)
records final revalidation (156 tests, including Library 53), current publication
metrics, preserved release gates and the source-matching **18:21** offline report.
The [badge correction](phase-8-badge-correction-evidence-2026-10-15.json) supersedes
the earlier white-background derivative and its captures/hash. Current Spanish
artwork preserves original geometry/alpha outside the APROBADO lettering.
Earlier browser failures, capture results and file counts below are dated history;
they are not the latest technical state. Checkpoint preparation is now authorized;
no staging, commit, production activation or human approval has occurred.
**Consolidated continuation — 2026-10-15:** [Consolidated follow-up](phase-8-consolidated-followup-2026-10-15.md)
records the Spanish HSA/FSA localization carryover, Spanish privacy collection-heading
carryover, and Tour carousel correction. Final validation: 156 regression tests,
21 targeted Chromium checks plus two computed-contrast probes, 122-route static
smoke, 50 new hashed screenshot references, unchanged publication counts and
restored staging safeguards. **PHASE 8 TECHNICALLY READY FOR CHECKPOINT REVIEW**;
all human-review/Phase 9 gates remain open. Historical results below are preserved.
**Latest bounded follow-up: PHASE 8 TECHNICALLY READY FOR CHECKPOINT REVIEW.**
See [the follow-up below](#bounded-follow-up--2026-10-15). This supersedes the
initial technical disposition without asserting human acceptance. Earlier
observations, counts and the initial partial status below remain historical.
**PHASE 8 PARTIALLY VERIFIED — MANUAL OR ENVIRONMENT GATES REMAIN**
The browser transport gate is now resolved for the system Chromium in this
environment. This status retains manual acceptance gates; it does not imply that
browser automation is still unavailable. No human acceptance, release approval,
staging, commit, deployment or Phase 9 implementation is asserted.
## Baseline and environment
Branch `faithful-astro-migration`, HEAD
`8e64d322092b1fa6e0f648ddf26a665c80588198`, parent
`b5bc95bc2b8e36c58e8b4d8ab4b11391374a7883`. This continuation began with the
previously authorized Phase 8 CSS, reports, browser tools and environment changes
already unstaged. The index was empty. The five protected/excluded paths were
observed by pathname only and left untouched. The old Phase 7 staging aid was
already absent; this verification did not delete it.
Read the project policy, living handoff and preceding migration/acceptance
records. The [October 14 report](phase-8-visual-accessibility-acceptance-2026-10-14.md)
records the earlier static-only attempt; the observations here supersede its
browser-unavailable status without rewriting that historical attempt.
Node 24.18.0, npm 11.16.0, Astro 7.1.5, Linux x86_64; existing Playwright 1.61.0
with system Chromium **151.0.7922.75**, headless, browser sandbox enabled.
System Chrome **151.0.7922.108** also passed the preceding two-page transport
probe, but the full suite used Chromium. Existing module/executable paths were
supplied through a temporary `PLAYWRIGHT_MODULE` adapter. No dependency was
installed/upgraded. This does not establish successful realization of the
optional Nix `browser` shell or repair the earlier remote MCP transport.
Preview bound only to `127.0.0.1:4321`. The real Spanish privacy page was checked
for title, visible H1, URL and staging robots; a screenshot and subsequent homepage
navigation succeeded before the suite. Desktop 1440×900 and mobile 390×844,
DPR 1, fresh contexts, default zoom, font readiness and bounded image decoding.
Additional 320px/768px checks and a computed 200% text-size stress test are
identified separately; that stress test is not actual browser zoom acceptance.
## Safety and external resources
Request interception was installed before navigation: only GET/HEAD to the exact
loopback origin could proceed. External requests and other methods were aborted;
WebSockets were closed, service workers blocked, downloads disabled, and no
existing authenticated browser profile/cookies imported. No production API,
form backend, tracking, conversion, payment or authentication interaction occurred.
No production API attempt was observed. This proves these loopback sessions;
it does not establish safe API behavior on a hosted preview.
Leaflet CSS/JavaScript requests to unpkg were attempted and blocked. Contact
therefore shows an empty map area; address/contact text and localized labels
remain visible. No OpenStreetMap tiles loaded because Leaflet was unavailable.
Actual map operation remains a controlled-resource review, not a failed attempt
to contact production. Expected blocked-resource console errors are separated
from application exceptions. External links were not followed.
An isolated synthetic fixture reused the disabled Spanish form markup with
empty fields. Calling the native form `submit()` method attempted a POST to the
fixture URL; interception aborted it before any server request. This is a
**prevented submission**, not proof of application-level isolation. It confirms
why P9-03 must remain open. No real form was submitted and no personal, patient
or clinical test data was entered. Forms/actions/backend behavior remain unchanged.
## Coverage and evidence interpretation
The primary suite opened every one of 122 routes at desktop and 50 representative
routes at mobile: 172 enabled-JavaScript visits, 100 full-page captures (50 per
width), plus a separate transport screenshot. All 50 representatives also loaded
in a JavaScript-disabled context. Six twelve-Tab observation sequences provide
72 exploratory Tab records; these are not 72 independently accepted controls.
The representative set covers every requested page family: EN/ES home, service,
program, intake, contact, consultation and privacy pages; referrals, about/team,
FAQ; EN/ES/AR indexes and authors; both page-six archives; search; rewritten
articles/tables/diagrams; Spanish evaluation/reinforcement/self-advocacy; Arabic
first/then and reinforcement; client forms, employee portal, careers, insurance,
donation and tour. Exact route membership is recorded in the matrix/evidence.
No page overflow, missing capture image or uncaught page exception was detected
in the primary 1440/390 suite. Three mobile image-boundary candidates are the
deliberately scrollable Arabic diagrams, not page overflow. Hidden carousel
slides similarly require contextual interpretation of geometric clipping tests.
The later 320px check found a separate homepage defect, corrected below.
Full-page captures are **evidence for review**, not 100 completed source-fidelity
approvals. Agent inspection included full-page overview sheets of services,
forms, privacy, about/team, Library/author archives and special pages; native-size
home/contact samples, ABA desktop and the three actual browser-rendered diagrams.
Long-article overview sheets establish section continuity only, not line-by-line
typography or linguistic accuracy. Screenshot capture is distinguished from
actual visual inspection and from authorized human acceptance.
No fresh HubSpot crawl or insecure TLS retrieval was performed. Existing dated
source evidence remains qualified. The saved ABA source screenshot contains a
modal and earlier content, limiting direct comparison. No claim of current
origin freshness or complete pixel parity across the 50 representatives is made.
Spanish privacy still requires trusted-source comparison and legal approval.
## Interactions, semantics and progressive enhancement
Focused tests exercise real keyboard skip links, desktop submenu focus, mobile
and language disclosures with Escape/focus return, FAQ Enter/Space, all three
locale searches/results/no-results/reset, Arabic diagram arrow scrolling,
page-six boundaries, full-size play/leisure image navigation and browser Back,
four picky-eating fragments, disabled Spanish form markup, and no-JS disclosures.
Search uses nonsensitive terms and verifies locale-scoped results and polite
live-region markup; no screen-reader announcement is claimed.
FAQ checks initially asserted state before the existing 360ms animation finished;
waiting for the native open state resolved these test timing failures. The
initial image-link selector expected WebP rather than the existing PNG and was
corrected. No application behavior was changed for either test error. A first
capture attempt stalled on hidden lazy image `decode()`; readiness is now bounded
and missing images recorded rather than hanging indefinitely.
The service drawer opened after its actual delay with focus on its heading.
Escape closed it and restored prior focus. During forward Tab cycling Chromium
reported BODY at the native browser-chrome boundary, then the dialog and its
controls; no background page control received focus. This is **Review required**,
not a strict focus-containment pass or a proven trapping defect. An authorized
visible-browser/assistive-technology reviewer must assess that transition.
The all-route custom Cheerio audit passes 122 routes with two inherited heading
review warnings. Chromium's accessibility tree was inspected for Spanish form
control names/disabled state and Arabic headings/named regions. That is semantic
evidence, not a real screen reader. No axe engine or complete WCAG audit ran.
Real screen-reader sessions: **0**. Authorized human sign-offs: **0**.
JavaScript-disabled checks establish content and basic native disclosure access.
Three focused no-JS routes also test keyboard interaction. Contact obfuscation's
existing reversed-string fallback remains intentional; no change was made.
Actual map interaction, all no-JS workflows and browser zoom remain reviewer gates.
## Bounded corrections and issue disposition
| ID | Severity / disposition | Evidence, correction and remaining action |
|---|---|---|
| P8-BROWSER-001 | Verification gate resolved for local Chromium | Real-page transport, subsequent navigation, complete route/capture and interaction runs succeeded. Remote MCP and optional Nix shell are not thereby certified. |
| P8-A11Y-001 / 002 | Corrected; targeted browser checks support prior CSS tests | Earlier prose/FAQ underline and primary-color changes, plus navigation/language/byline/diagram focus outlines retained. Wider palette/state review still pending. |
| P8-A11Y-006 | Major; corrected | Browser-computed skip/contact/form-notice links remained orange #ff914d on white (2.23:1). Existing primary #254080 (9.89:1 on white) and persistent underlines now apply in layout.css, forms.css, ContactForm and ContactPage. Skip focus receives a primary outline. No wording, destination, contact component or submission behavior changed. |
| P8-VIS-002 | Major narrow-screen reflow defect; corrected | At 320px the homepage director section expanded document width to 382px: scoped two-column grid overrode shared ≤760px stacking. HomeDirector now explicitly uses one minmax(0,1fr) column at the existing breakpoint and bounds the signature to container width. Desktop ratio/content remain unchanged. EN/ES 320/390/768/1440 regression checks cover the actual cascade. |
| P8-A11Y-003 | Minor; review pending | Existing H1→H3 jumps on DTT/NET and schedule consultation remain. Determine intended hierarchy without casually changing source typography. |
| P8-A11Y-004 | Informational observed degradation | With third-party requests blocked, Contact map area is empty while address/contact remain available. Reviewer checks clarity of fallback; no provider or network changes authorized. |
| P8-A11Y-007 | Review required | Native modal Tab/browser-chrome boundary described above; visible-browser and screen-reader review required before declaring complete containment. |
| P8-A11Y-008 | Minor; localization review pending | Chromium's Arabic accessibility tree still exposes inherited English “Like this article” and “Similar Blog Posts”; BlogPostFooter also contains English previous/next/navigation labels. These are not automatically equivalent to localized accessible names. Confirm source/fallback intent and approve narrowly localized shared labels; no Arabic body/biography or API behavior was changed to hide the finding. |
| P8-SAFETY-001 | Existing Phase 9 limitation confirmed | Disabled/empty-action form is script-submittable in isolated fixture. P9-03 owns fail-closed production form design; no backend or application submission changes here. |
| P8-RTL-001 | Browser rendering/scrolling verified; language approval pending | Three browser-rendered diagrams show Arabic overlays with no detected exposed English labels or clipped Arabic in inspected captures. 390px arrow-key scrolling stays inside named focusable regions, with visible primary outline and no page overflow. Fluent Arabic/clinical approval remains mandatory. |
| P8-VIS-001 / P8-A11Y-005 | Review pending | Current source-qualified full-page comparison, whole-site contrast/states, real browser zoom, visual focus assessment and real AT acceptance remain incomplete. No blanket WCAG claim. |
Arabic assets remain unchanged: `antecedent-behavior-consequence_ar.svg`
(800×450), `reduce-environmental-distractions_ar.svg` (800×450),
`reinforcement-replacement-behavior_ar.svg` (800×533). Actual embedded artwork
rendered in Chromium, unlike the earlier renderer workaround. Narrow regions
retain a 720px minimum image width, Arabic names/alt text and adjacent textual
explanations/tables. Scroll-cropped mobile screenshots are intentional; the
keyboard test verifies access to the offscreen content. Causal sequences were
not reversed. No clinical, legal or translated wording was changed.
## Reproduction and acceptance handoff
See the updated [guarded host procedure](phase-8-host-browser-verification-2026-10-14.md).
From `www`, after a normal staging build and loopback preview, supply an existing
working `PLAYWRIGHT_MODULE`/browser and use fresh output directories:
```bash
node --experimental-strip-types tools/audit-phase8.mjs /tmp/phase8-static.json
node tools/phase8-browser.mjs /tmp/phase8-static.json /tmp/phase8-captures
node tools/phase8-interactions.mjs /tmp/phase8-interactions
```
The interaction runner's only POST probe is its intercepted synthetic fixture.
Do not disable interception or navigate to live APIs. Inspect evidence statuses;
process completion does not turn a review item into acceptance.
| Reviewer / role | UTC date | Route / state | OS/browser/AT | Viewport / zoom / JS | Result | Evidence / issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pending | — | Full-page EN/ES families and rewritten articles | — | 1440 / 390, JS on/off | Pending | Compare qualified source captures, crops, typography, tables and footer |
| Pending | — | Service drawer and shared navigation | — | Keyboard only | Pending | Initial focus, Shift-Tab/browser boundary, Escape/return, visible outline |
| Pending fluent Arabic + clinical reviewer | — | Arabic guide and three diagrams | — | Desktop / 390, region scrolling | Pending | Labels, causal relationships, bidi, legibility, terminology |
| Pending fluent Spanish reviewer | — | Forms, privacy, school readiness and reinforcement | — | Desktop / mobile | Pending | Wording, wrapping, notices and language-switch expectations |
| Pending AT reviewer | — | Navigation, forms, search, FAQs, tables, diagrams | Identify real screen reader/version | Keyboard / screen reader | Pending | Names, roles, announcements, reading order and disabled instructions |
| Pending visual reviewer | — | Broader palette, text resizing and map fallback | — | Actual 200% browser zoom / reflow | Pending | Remaining contrast states, source hierarchy and fallback clarity |
All P9-01–P9-10 remain pending: landing-page ownership, employee portal,
forms/API, likes/views isolation, analytics/consent/Ads, clinical/organizational
claims, privacy policies/trusted Spanish source, author SEO, hosting/rollback,
and production authorization. Phase 10 cutover QA remains separate. The living
handoff is unchanged. Nothing was staged, committed, pushed or deployed.
The following final measurements, route matrix and file inventory are generated
from the actual saved evidence; screenshots remain temporary, not checkpoint
assets or human sign-offs.
## Final measurements and automated validation
The post-correction pass rechecked **122/122 routes** on the final staging build,
with zero uncaught exceptions or horizontal page overflow. Four observed console
errors were the deliberately blocked Leaflet resources on EN/ES Contact; no
unexplained console error was recorded. Both homepages were recaptured at
1440/390/320: six additional full-page images, of which four supersede their
original representative captures. The final 100-image representative set uses
those replacements. Two extra 320px full-page images and eight director-region
captures support the new reflow correction. Earlier captures are retained only
as temporary historical evidence.
All images in the 100-capture primary run completed decoding/loading; no missing
capture image was recorded. Computed post-fix skip/contact/form links use
`rgb(37, 64, 128)` with underlines on all five inspected routes. The earlier
2.23:1 orange-on-white observations are preserved in the issue record.
Focused results: **41 checks: 40 pass, 0 fail, 1 review** (native drawer boundary).
This includes eight actual EN/ES home viewport assertions inside one grouped
regression check. Supplementary observations: 12 normal 320/768 route visits,
five 200% computed-text stress visits, and three Chromium AX-tree inspections.
The initial 320px homepage overflow is superseded by the passing reflow checks;
other geometric candidates are offscreen carousel slides. Text stress is not
browser zoom, AX inspection is not screen-reader use, and no AT approval exists.
| Command / check | Final result |
|---|---|
| `npm run check` | 97 files; 0 errors, warnings or hints |
| `npm run test:markdown` | 20 pass |
| `npm run test:publication` | 33 pass |
| `npm run test:seo` | 35 pass |
| `npm run test:library` | 49 pass |
| `npm run test:routes` | 10 pass |
| `node --test tools/phase8.test.mjs` | 4 pass |
| All Node regression tests above | 151 pass; 0 fail |
| `npm run build` | Pass; 122 HTML routes |
| `PUBLIC_ALLOW_INDEXING=true npm run build` | Pass; counts below |
| `npm run audit:links` | 0 broken internal links |
| `npm run audit:images` | 0 missing mapped page images |
| `npm run audit:blog` | 0 blog-content failures |
| Final `npm run build` | Pass; normal staging restored |
| `node --experimental-strip-types tools/audit-phase8.mjs ...` | 122 routes; 0 hard failures; 2 heading review warnings |
| `git diff --check` | Pass |
Suites ran sequentially with `TMPDIR=/tmp` and `ASTRO_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1`.
Logs: `/tmp/aia-phase8-browser-validation-final/`. No package or lockfile changes.
The temporary-directory workaround is environmental, not an application fix.
| Publication metric | Final indexing-enabled / staging |
|---|---|
| HTML routes / unique canonical targets | 122 / 122, both modes |
| Library / search | 74 articles; 55 EN / 12 ES / 7 AR, unchanged |
| Author archives / redirects | 9 / 9, unchanged |
| Sitemap URLs | 108 / 0 |
| Hreflang links / participating routes | 180 / 55 in indexing mode; 0 / 0 in staging |
| Validated translation sets | 25, unchanged |
| Visible/schema FAQ answers / articles | 182 / 30, unchanged |
| Robots | Indexing: 108 index,follow + 14 noindex,follow; staging: all 122 noindex,nofollow |
| English Library / author page six | Five cards each; valid page-five link; no page seven |
Author archives remain self-canonical/noindex,follow/sitemap- and hreflang-excluded
in indexing mode. `/ar` remains unpublished. No redirect activation or integration
configuration changed.
Final source-matching offline artifact:
[route-reconciliation-2026-10-15-offline-05-28-09-425Z.json](route-reconciliation-2026-10-15-offline-05-28-09-425Z.json).
Schema 2; 133 dispositions, 122 generated routes, 70 reused historical requests,
no new production requests. Source fingerprint:
`c111017a53534537a5412ea0108264e899d4891f46f723074b470e09a5849759`.
Explicit read-only verification passed:
```bash
npm run audit:routes -- --check --evidence reports/route-reconciliation-2026-10-15-offline-05-28-09-425Z.json
```
The earlier `route-reconciliation-2026-10-15-offline.json` was generated before
the director reflow correction and is superseded intermediate evidence. Preserve
it; do not select it automatically for the next checkpoint. The October 14
`...07-32-07-044Z.json` report is the historical Phase 8 pre-browser baseline.
Neither is the final source match. Historical production sitemap observations
(102 URLs in this artifact) are not the 108 indexing-enabled generated sitemap.
## Durable and temporary evidence
[Compact browser/static/interaction evidence](phase-8-browser-evidence-2026-10-15.json)
includes the complete route observations, exact capture paths/hashes, focused
checks, blocked request records, AX observations and publication counts.
No full HTML copies, cookies, browser profiles or traces are stored in Git.
Temporary screenshots are not guaranteed to survive; select evidence for durable
retention only in a reviewed checkpoint. No screenshot is itself human sign-off.

## Final route coverage matrix
All rows: final static Pass and final desktop browser smoke Pass. “Capture” means
full-page evidence exists; **source comparison and human acceptance are Pending**.
No-JS means content-presence observation, with three focused interaction routes
recorded separately. This distinction applies to every row, not only exceptions.

## Final working-tree inventory and stopping point
The cumulative Phase 8 diff includes the earlier CSS/static work and the
user-authorized optional browser environment, not just this continuation.
This continuation changed five application files (ContactForm, ContactPage,
HomeDirector, forms.css and layout.css), extended the contrast/capture tooling,
added the focused interaction runner and current browser evidence/report, and
updated current Phase 8 documentation. Content records, ContactObfuscation,
publication policy, API logic, package/lockfiles, handoff and Phase 9 decisions
remain unchanged.
The five protected files below were left untouched and remain outside any
future checkpoint. No protected-file contents were read or checksummed:
- `merge-plan.md`
- `www/reports/route-reconciliation-2026-10-11-offline.json`
- `www/reports/route-reconciliation-2026-10-12-offline.json`
- `www/reports/route-reconciliation-2026-10-13-offline.json`
- `www/reports/route-reconciliation-2026-10-13-offline-06-16-06-857Z.json`
The newly superseded October 15 unsuffixed reconciliation is separately noted
above; it was preserved, not silently included as final evidence. No staging
manifest or commit was prepared in this task. Temporary screenshots and browser
profiles are outside the repository. The loopback preview is stopped after review.

Index: empty. `git diff --check`: pass. No staging, commit, push, merge,
deployment, production request or integration activation occurred.
**Recommendation: PHASE 8 PARTIALLY VERIFIED — MANUAL OR ENVIRONMENT GATES REMAIN.**
Local browser execution and targeted fixes are verified; the remaining source,
visual, language and assistive-technology reviews prevent complete acceptance.
Use the reviewer table above before a separately authorized checkpoint. Do not
interpret this report as permission to implement Phase 9 or cut over production.
## Bounded follow-up — 2026-10-15
**PHASE 8 TECHNICALLY READY FOR CHECKPOINT REVIEW**
This is technical readiness for user review, not checkpoint preparation,
stakeholder acceptance or production authorization. No handoff update occurred.
The prior report/evidence remains intact; new results are in
[phase-8-followup-evidence-2026-10-15.json](phase-8-followup-evidence-2026-10-15.json).
### Verified starting state and scope
Branch/HEAD remain `faithful-astro-migration` /
`8e64d322092b1fa6e0f648ddf26a665c80588198`. The follow-up began with 16 modified
tracked files, 18 untracked files (including the five exclusions), and zero
staged paths. Those were the expected cumulative Phase 8/environment changes.
No unexpected overlapping work was found. The Phase 7 staging aid was absent.
Protected files were not read, modified, moved, deleted or checksummed.
The completed 122-route browser pass, 100 representative captures and 50 no-JS
visits were retained, not repeated wholesale. This pass targets Arabic article
chrome, two heading findings, native-dialog behavior, bounded contrast and zoom.
### Arabic article interface — P8-A11Y-008 corrected
Publication `lang` now passes explicitly from BlogPostLayout/BlogCard into
LikeViewCounter and BlogPostFooter. A small `article-messages.ts` utility follows
the existing server-selected message pattern. English **and Spanish** retain
exactly their previous labels in this bounded Arabic task. No URL-derived or
browser-language inference was introduced. No article wording, metadata,
translation key, author, footer relationship or API behavior changed.
| UI purpose | Existing English label | Arabic label |
|---|---|---|
| Like button | Like this article | الإعجاب بهذا المقال |
| Views accessible label | Article views | مشاهدات المقال |
| Visible views label | views | مشاهدات |
| Likes group name | Previously unnamed group | الإعجابات |
| Article navigation | Article navigation | التنقل بين المقالات |
| Previous / next | Previous Post / Next Post | المقال السابق / المقال التالي |
| Related heading | Similar Blog Posts | مقالات ذات صلة |
| Related-image link prefix | Read full post | قراءة المقال كاملاً |
Arabic counts use isolated LTR spans; footer titles use `bdi` so embedded Latin
terms retain their reading direction. The toggle retains its stable name and
existing `aria-pressed` state. The complete LikeViewCounter `<script>` is
byte-identical to HEAD; its digest is recorded in the new evidence. No API
origin, request, cookie, credential or click-handling code changed.
Rendered tests cover every Arabic article/archive output in both build modes,
plus unchanged English/Spanish labels. Browser checks cover the Arabic guide,
Library and author archive at 1440/390px, including accessible button/navigation
names, visible related heading, bidi presentation and page overflow. Agent
inspection of the mobile footer confirms loaded cards and legible Arabic labels.
**Fluent Arabic acceptance remains pending.**
### Heading disposition — P8-A11Y-003 corrected
A numerical skip alone was not treated as a WCAG violation. The actual content
structure supports these narrowly scoped semantic changes:
- DTT/NET: the three peer sections explain DTT, NET and their combined use;
there is no containing H2 section. They are now H2 children of the article H1.
- Schedule consultation: “Start Here” is a peer of “The AIA Difference” and
“ABA Therapy Services,” rather than a child of either. It is now H2.
Existing text, punctuation and fragment IDs are unchanged. Frontmatter is
identical to HEAD, and normalized body wording is identical after removing only
heading syntax. The Markdown article remains `.md`; its inline HTML headings
are supported by the existing search-heading extractor. No synthetic heading,
new metadata field, duplicate record or route was introduced.
The `heading-size-h3` utility preserves H3 font sizing, line height and bottom
margin; a prose rule preserves the top margin, including the source-page
first-H2 exception. Browser comparison at 1440 and 390 confirms identical
heading font size, line height, margins, width and height before/after. Generated
HTML now has **zero heading-review findings** across all 122 routes. This is a
semantic improvement, not a claim that all heading decisions are clinically or
editorially approved.
### Dialog disposition — P8-A11Y-007 native behavior, no application fix
Chromium 151.0.7922.75 ran four real timed-dialog scenarios: desktop/mobile,
Escape/close-button. Each records initial heading focus, 20 forward Tabs and
20 reverse Shift+Tabs, then closing and focus restoration. All actual controls
remained available. Attempting to focus the background brand while modal was
open did not move focus there. Escape and keyboard activation of Close restored
the originally focused brand link in all four scenarios.
The previously reported BODY boundary occurs with `document.hasFocus() ===
false`: focus has left the web document for browser chrome. A separate minimal
native `<dialog>` control fixture reproduces the same boundary in both forward
and reverse navigation. No background page control receives focus, and traversal
returns to the dialog. This is not evidence of an application focus leak.
**Disposition:** no confirmed application defect; preserve native dialog behavior.
Do not install a custom focus trap to suppress browser chrome. Real screen-reader
and authorized visible-browser acceptance remain pending, independently of this
passing technical comparison. ServiceInquiryDrawer source is unchanged.
### Responsive, native zoom, focus and contrast
Both homepages pass 320/390/768/1440 checks; the earlier director-grid fix remains
intact. Arabic diagrams render with their embedded artwork and support arrow-key
scrolling at 390px inside named focusable regions; no page overflow or exposed
English overlay text was detected in inspected captures. Their assets and
clinical labels were not edited. Fluent/clinical approval remains mandatory.
Native browser zoom now has actual verification. A temporary local Chromium
extension invokes [chrome.tabs.setZoom](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/tabs#method-setZoom)
in a fresh disposable profile, using the existing
[Playwright extension/persistent-context facility](https://playwright.dev/docs/chrome-extensions).
It has no network code and is not installed into the user's normal browser.
Website service workers remain blocked; the only extension worker is this
explicit local test helper. This is not CSS zoom, pinch emulation or merely a
viewport approximation.
Seven routes pass at 200%: `/`, `/es`, `/es/contact`, `/es/client-consultation`,
`/ar/library/aba-school-readiness-guide`, `/library`, `/schedule-consultation`.
The API reports zoom 2; a 1440px window reports 720 CSS pixels, DPR 2 and visual
viewport scale 1. All seven document widths remain 720 with no horizontal page
overflow. The enlarged Spanish contact form and disabled-call fallback remain
readable in inspected viewport captures.
Playwright's fullPage capture at native zoom clipped the resulting image to CSS
pixel dimensions. Those zoom images are **superseded capture artifacts, not
layout defects**. Final zoom evidence uses 176 actual CDP viewport screenshots
with approximately 20% overlap across the seven complete documents; per-frame
scroll positions and hashes are saved. Capture coverage is not 176 human visual
approvals. Early full-page screenshots also missed lazy related-card images;
bounded eager/decode readiness now verifies all capture images before saving.
Neither tool correction changed application code.
Additional confirmed contrast failures were bounded to light-surface selectors:
Read More links, default eyebrows, desktop-nav hover, current-language links,
related/previous/next hover/focus colors, and card-author focus outlines. Orange
text measured 2.23:1 against white (below even the large-text 3:1 threshold);
accent outlines measured 1.66:1. These now use existing primary/dark-primary
colors, with underlines on Read More/current-language links. Normal primary is
9.89:1 on white / 8.89:1 on tint. The dark-background footer palette and FAQ's
explicit dark-background eyebrow override are preserved. This intentional
accessibility color deviation is not a new design system.
Browser checks confirm corrected resting/hover colors, skip/contact/form link
contrast, underlines, and card-author focus outline clearance inside the card
at both widths. Source typography, content and spacing are retained. These
bounded checks are not a comprehensive WCAG audit or all-state color certification.
### Visual comparison limits and safety
Before/after local captures and computed heading geometry verify preservation of
the affected structure. Full-page Arabic outputs and seven complete zoom capture
sequences provide additional review evidence. No new authenticated live-source
comparison was performed. Existing public captures may be outdated, obstructed
or cache-qualified; source uncertainty and trusted Spanish privacy comparison
remain explicitly open. No design was inferred from unavailable source evidence.
Every page context installs exact-loopback GET/HEAD-only interception before
navigation; WebSockets are closed, website service workers blocked, downloads
disabled, and profiles are fresh. The main focused run prevented six unpkg
Leaflet GETs; the final zoom recapture prevented two more. No production API
attempt, non-GET/HEAD request, mutation, advertising event, credential flow or
form submission was observed in this follow-up. The minimal dialog fixture is
fulfilled locally and contains no form submission. Production API script remains
unchanged. The earlier intercepted form experiment is not a security boundary;
P9-03 and P9-04 remain pending.
### Final validation and evidence
All commands ran sequentially with `TMPDIR=/tmp` and telemetry disabled:
| Check | Actual result |
|---|---|
| `npm run check` | 99 files; zero errors/warnings/hints |
| `npm run test:markdown` | 20 pass |
| `npm run test:publication` | 33 pass |
| `npm run test:seo` | 35 pass |
| `npm run test:library` | 51 pass, including two new rendered-output regressions |
| `npm run test:routes` | 10 pass |
| `node --test tools/phase8.test.mjs` | 5 pass, including shared contrast-state regression |
| Total regression tests | **154 pass; zero fail** |
| Focused Chromium follow-up | **30 pass; zero fail**; 29 focused cases plus native zoom across seven routes |
| Corrected zoom recapture | One grouped seven-route check passes; replaces the earlier zoom capture, not an additional distinct acceptance case |
| Normal and indexing-enabled builds | Pass; 122 routes each |
| Link / image / blog audits | 0 broken links / missing mapped images / blog failures |
| Final normal staging build | 122 noindex,nofollow pages; empty sitemap; zero hreflang |
| All-route generated-HTML audit | 122 pass; zero hard failures or review warnings |
| `git diff --check` | Pass |
The complete earlier browser suite was not repeated unnecessarily. Final
indexing-enabled counts remain 122 routes/unique canonical targets, 108 sitemap
URLs, 180 hreflang links across 55 routes, 25 validated translation sets, 74
Library articles (55/12/7), nine author archives and nine redirect definitions.
FAQ counts remain 182 across 30 articles. No publication policy changed.
Final source-matching schema-2 artifact:
[route-reconciliation-2026-10-15-offline-06-41-27-766Z.json](route-reconciliation-2026-10-15-offline-06-41-27-766Z.json).
Explicit `--check --evidence` passes: 133 dispositions, 122 generated routes,
70 reused historical requests, no new crawl. The earlier `...05-28-09-425Z.json`
is preserved as the preceding Phase 8 source version, not the current fingerprint.
No historical artifact was overwritten.
Temporary evidence: `/tmp/aia-p8-followup/`:
- `before.json` and baseline captures: prior headings/colors.
- `browser-verified/results.json`: 30 checks; 10 valid new full-page captures,
six diagram crops and two focus crops. Its seven zoom fullPage images are superseded.
- `zoom-verified/results.json`: final seven-route zoom measurements and 176
overlapping viewport captures.
- `validation/`: exact command logs and publication counts.
The new JSON report preserves observations, screenshot identities/hashes and
provenance without copying browser profiles, extension caches or PNGs into Git.
Real screen-reader sessions and human sign-offs remain **zero**.
### Exact implementation changes in this follow-up
| Path relative to `www/` | Change |
|---|---|
| `src/utils/article-messages.ts` (new) | Arabic article chrome with existing EN/ES behavior preserved |
| `src/components/LikeViewCounter.astro` | Server-selected labels/group/count direction; script unchanged |
| `src/components/BlogPostFooter.astro` | Explicit locale, Arabic labels, bidi title isolation, contrast state |
| `src/components/BlogCard.astro` | Pass locale; readable author focus outline |
| `src/layouts/BlogPostLayout.astro` | Pass publication locale to counter/footer |
| `src/content/blog/en/aba-therapy-dtt-net-guide.md` | Three peer headings H3→H2, text/IDs/styles preserved |
| `src/content/pages/en/schedule-consultation.mdx` | Start Here H3→H2, text/ID/style preserved |
| `src/styles/typography.css` | H3 appearance utility; readable default eyebrow color |
| `src/styles/blog.css` | Preserve top margin for semantically promoted headings |
| `src/styles/components.css` | Read More contrast and underline |
| `src/components/MainNav.astro` | Readable hover color |
| `src/components/LanguageSwitcher.astro` | Readable current-locale color and underline |
| `tools/library.test.mjs` | Arabic/unchanged EN/ES chrome and heading/search/fragment regression coverage |
| `tools/phase8.test.mjs` | Additional contrast-state coverage |
| `tools/phase8-followup.mjs` (new) | Focused guarded browser runner, native-dialog comparison and real zoom |
Documentation updated: the existing October 14 acceptance report, this October
15 browser report, host procedure, accessibility audit and migration summary.
New evidence: `phase-8-followup-evidence-2026-10-15.json` and the explicit final
route artifact above. Prior environment files and all earlier Phase 8 changes
are preserved. No SESSION_HANDOFF.md, Phase 9 register, source/footer inventories,
package/lockfile, API, hosting or production settings changed in this follow-up.
### Remaining defects and acceptance gates
No known **material technical blocker** remains in this bounded follow-up.
P8-A11Y-003/008 and the confirmed light-surface contrast defects are corrected;
P8-A11Y-007 is supported native browser behavior rather than an application defect.
The blocked-map empty region remains an informational intentional test condition
with accessible adjacent contact details, not an activated third-party service.
The following are still pending: fluent Arabic labels and Spanish/Arabic content,
clinical/organizational and legal/privacy approval, trusted Spanish privacy source,
Arabic terminology/diagram acceptance, real screen-reader sessions, authorized
visible-browser/keyboard acceptance and broader source-qualified visual review.
No claim of comprehensive WCAG or current-origin parity is made.
All P9-01–P9-10 remain Pending decision, including landing-page/portal ownership,
forms/API isolation, analytics/consent/Ads, author SEO, hosting/rollback and launch.
This technical readiness status does not close any of those gates or authorize
checkpoint preparation, staging, commit, push, deployment or Phase 9 work.
### Follow-up final working tree
24 modified tracked paths; 22 untracked paths including the five protected
exclusions; zero staged paths. No files were deleted, moved or renamed.
This inventory includes previously authorized Phase 8/environment work.
The five protected paths remain unchanged and outside future checkpoint scope.
No staging aid was created. The loopback preview was stopped after verification.
Final source fingerprint: `9c68ed58e32c25bcec28cdbeb795d2a31ce566bf49d9056e09bd42f7d8a3f930`.

### 2026-10-15 — Spanish HSA/FSA badge transparency and geometry correction
User review identified an opaque white background and badge shrinkage/position drift in the initial Spanish derivative. The earlier full-image generation and white-background export were not faithful enough. This finding supersedes the Spanish badge visual-fidelity claim and image hash in the consolidated evidence; historical captures remain unchanged.
Replaced only `public/assets/images/hsa-fsa-accepted-es.png`. Built-in imagegen supplied APROBADO lettering; ImageMagick compositing retained the original English artwork and alpha outside that lettering. Both images are 500×425 RGBA. Alpha comparison: **zero differing pixels**. All changed color pixels are confined to a 192×42 lettering rectangle at x154/y188. The English source image remains byte-identical to HEAD. No layout, content, metadata, or publication changes.
Chromium 151.0.7922.75: **8/8 targeted checks pass**, EN and ES at 320/390/768/1440px, matching rendered image dimensions, one section per page, Spanish alt text, no page overflow. Eight section screenshots with SHA-256 hashes are recorded in [badge evidence](phase-8-badge-correction-evidence-2026-10-15.json), with temporary images in `/tmp/aia-p8-badge-fix`; Spanish mobile and desktop captures visually inspected. Loopback GET/HEAD-only guard, service workers blocked, WebSockets denied: zero blocked external/API requests and no production interactions.
Normal build, link audit (0 broken), image audit (0 missing mapped), and explicit offline consistency check pass. Current source-matching artifact: [18:21 offline reconciliation](route-reconciliation-2026-10-15-offline-18-21-22-820Z.json), reusing 70 historical requests with no new crawl. Final staging output: 122 noindex,nofollow pages, empty sitemap, zero hreflang. Full previous regression suite was not repeated for this asset-only correction. Fluent-Spanish/financial-claims acceptance and all existing Phase 9 gates remain pending. No staging, commit, deployment, or handoff update.
