Keyboard behavior
All primary routes, filters, quiz controls, cart controls, disclosures, and local widgets are intended to work without a mouse.
Accessibility
Accessibility statement and test matrix.
BarkBowl aims to make satire, time math, evidence dashboards, and dogfood loops usable with keyboard, screen-reader, reduced-motion, and small-screen workflows.

Test matrix
What this release checks.
Visible focus
Interactive elements use visible focus treatment and avoid relying on hover-only states.
Reduced motion
Non-essential motion should respect reduced-motion preferences and avoid blocking comprehension.
Color contrast targets
Text and controls are designed toward WCAG AA contrast targets; final production contrast still requires browser verification.
Form labels and errors
Filters, simulator fields, quiz choices, and decision-matrix controls include visible labels and nearby recoverable errors.
Screen-reader semantics
Pages use route-level headings, landmarks, live regions for cart/simulator updates, and descriptive button text.
No-JS fallbacks
Critical pages render explanatory content server-side; interactive controls include no-JS guidance when mutation requires scripts.
Table/list semantics
Evidence, glossary, and metric surfaces prefer lists, cards, and definition lists that preserve reading order.
Quiz accessibility
The guided quiz uses fieldsets, radio choices, progress text, previous/next controls, and a no-shame validation state.
Cart accessibility
The Time Bowl uses polite live-region updates, labels servings as servings, and explains TTL/expiry without payment language.
Known limitations
No live assistive-technology audit, Core Web Vitals measurement, or authenticated WordPress Admin workflow verification has been completed in this package build.
Reporting issues
Report accessibility issues without sending secrets, credentials, raw visitor identifiers, or private operational data.
Critical-path rule
In task-critical moments, clarity wins. BarkBowl can be dry and satirical on product cards; error recovery, privacy, checkout receipts, and accessibility guidance stay direct.
