Accessibility

What works today

• Keyboard-reachable editor: drag handles, remove, improve, snippet, and tone-preset controls all expose on focus and ship visible focus rings.
• Skip link from the top of every editor page to the resume canvas.
• Global ARIA live announcer wired to AI actions (Improve, Tone presets) so screen readers hear progress and outcomes.
• Form fields, buttons, and links carry semantic roles and accessible names; error states announced assertively.
• Smooth scrolling that respects prefers-reduced-motion.
• Color palettes designed for contrast on white paper backgrounds.

Known issues

We're tracking the following gaps and working through them:

• Color-contrast pass on every template × palette combination is in progress.
• End-to-end screen reader walkthrough of the editor flow is pending.
• Drag-drop announces position but doesn't yet narrate destination preview.
• PDF tagging (semantic structure inside exported PDFs) is pending the server-side Chromium rendering work.
