ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT — GNOMAD DESKTOP ASSISTANT
==================================================

Version: 0.2.0-beta.1  
Last updated: June 2026  
Standard: Working toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA

────────────────────────────────────────

COMMITMENT
----------

Gnomad Studio aims to make Gnomad Desktop Assistant usable with keyboard and assistive technologies. This is a beta product; a full third-party WCAG audit is planned before v1.0 general availability.

────────────────────────────────────────

CONFORMANCE STATUS
------------------

Partially conformant — some content does not yet meet WCAG 2.2 AA (contrast audit incomplete; terminal output summarized via aria-live rather than full narration).

────────────────────────────────────────

SUPPORTED FEATURES (BETA)
-------------------------

  • Keyboard shortcuts for show/hide, composer focus, settings, new chat, and Escape to close overlays
  • Visible focus indicators (:focus-visible) on interactive controls
  • Modal dialogs with focus traps and role="dialog"
  • Skip link to main content in windowed and fullscreen modes
  • Labeled form controls and composer (aria-label, stable ids)
  • Debounced aria-live announcements for terminal activity

See ACCESSIBILITY.md for the full shortcut list and testing checklist.

────────────────────────────────────────

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
-----------------

  • Color contrast not yet certified to WCAG AA across all themes
  • Limited testing with VoiceOver, NVDA, and Orca
  • xterm.js canvas is not directly readable; summaries are announced periodically
  • Voice dictation depends on OS/browser speech services

────────────────────────────────────────

FEEDBACK
--------

Report accessibility barriers:

  • GitHub Issues (label: accessibility)
  • Gnomad Studio

We aim to respond within 10 business days.
