 # Accessibility code-review evidence
 
-Captured: 2026-08-02
+Updated: 2026-08-15
 
-Classification: inspected in code and component tests only. Manual browser/assistive-technology verification was blocked by the missing in-app browser client.
+Classification: code inspection, component tests and local authenticated Chromium. Native assistive-technology and production checks remain external.
 
-## Confirmed code-level issues
+## Corrected issues
 
-- Icon-only controls lack programmatic names in `CompaniesTable.tsx:139,186`, `Correspondence.tsx:472`, `JobTable.tsx:493,704,745-748`, `SavedViewsMenu.tsx:93,153`, and `CvBuilderPage.tsx:96`. Tooltips or HTML `title` alone are not a reliable accessible name.
-- Attachment preview/download/rename/delete buttons use `title` without `aria-label` at `Attachments.tsx:320-330`.
-- CV cards are clickable `Paper` elements with pointer styling but no link/button role, `tabIndex`, or keyboard activation at `CvBuilderPage.tsx:91-98`.
-- The public CV iframe is fixed at 210mm wide at `PublicCvPage.tsx:53-62`; at 375px and 768px this is a code-supported overflow risk, but visual clipping was not manually verified.
+- Every frontend `IconButton` now has an explicit programmatic name. This includes shell navigation/user/settings/search, company edit, correspondence delete, table columns and row actions, saved views, attachments, and CV Builder navigation. File-specific actions include the affected record name.
+- CV cards expose link semantics, keyboard focus, a visible focus indicator and Enter/Space activation. Their nested action menu remains independent of card navigation.
+- The anonymous public CV no longer puts a fixed 210mm element directly into a narrow page. It retains a full A4 iframe viewport, measures multi-page document height and scales the complete frame to the available width. Local Chromium proves no outer or inner horizontal overflow at 375px.
+- Semantic alert surfaces remain theme-owned. Authenticated Chromium measures the dark-mode missing-job Alert foreground against its composited background at or above WCAG AA 4.5:1.
+- The public loading state is announced with `role=status` and uses a stronger readable foreground.
 
-## Positive evidence
+## Verification
 
-- Forms generally use MUI labels and many dialog close/action buttons have explicit `aria-label` values.
-- CV editor move/hide controls and checklist controls carry accessible names.
-- MUI supplies baseline focus and dialog semantics, though manual focus trapping/return was not checked.
-- Public CV iframe has a title and sandbox attribute.
+- Focused accessibility-related UI: 4 suites, 9/9 tests.
+- Full frontend: 54/54 suites, 228/228 tests.
+- Optimized production frontend build/TypeScript: pass.
+- Full Playwright: 7/7; final targeted workspace/public-CV rerun: 2/2.
+- Static `IconButton` audit: no control without an explicit `aria-label`.
 
-No axe, pa11y, or Lighthouse dependency/configuration is present. No automated accessibility gate runs in CI.
+## Remaining external and future gates
+
+- Native screen-reader/switch-control and operating-system high-contrast checks are not available in the local automated environment and remain a production-readiness spot check.
+- No axe, pa11y or Lighthouse dependency/configuration is present, so CI does not yet run a general automated accessibility crawler. Adding one requires an approved dependency change and should complement, not replace, the focused semantic and contrast assertions above.

+## DEC-072 — Scale the complete public CV, not its document viewport
+
+- **Date:** 2026-08-15
+- **Decision:** Keep the anonymous public CV iframe at its physical A4 rendering width, measure the rendered multi-page height, and scale the entire iframe into the available screen width with a sized clipping container.
+- **Reason/evidence:** reducing only the iframe width leaves the renderer's fixed 210mm page wider than the embedded viewport, which can create internal clipping even when the outer page no longer scrolls. Chromium now proves both the outer page and embedded document have no horizontal overflow at 375px.
+- **Alternatives considered:** hide outer overflow; make server CV pages fluid; shrink typography; duplicate a mobile-only renderer. These conceal clipping, change PDF geometry/readability or fork the authoritative render path.
+- **Consequences:** public browser viewing preserves the same A4 layout used by PDF/export while fitting narrow screens; multi-page content reserves its scaled height. PDF output is unchanged.
+- **User approval required:** No; this is a requested responsive/accessibility correction without schema, dependency or production change.
+- **Reversible:** Revert the `PublicCvPage` frame wrapper; no stored data changed.

Email-provider/send tests are fake/local only; real delivery is not claimed. Current MAIL browser evidence is 1280×720 only because the browser surface could not resize or perform native Tab traversal. Interrupted attempts are aged after 15 minutes and notified without retry; the five-minute scan is unmeasured on a large ledger. Direct clean EF-only SQLite migration still hits the pre-existing historical blank-chain defect before later migrations; normal startup owns reconciliation. Cross-feature monthly AI usage accounting remains a rollout gap.

-- **Uncommitted changes:** V-169 JOBS-002 parity/navigation increment; no dependency/schema/config/migration change. V-166/V-167/V-168 are pushed as `a6cffe0`/`f0b9b22`/`3b86ea2`.
+- **Uncommitted changes:** V-170 accessibility/responsive-public-CV increment; no dependency/schema/config/migration change. V-166 through V-169 are pushed as `a6cffe0`, `f0b9b22`, `3b86ea2` and `deed948`.
 - **Known failures:** live deployment is not verified because PR deploy is intentionally skipped and the active branch is not approved for merge. Draft export/API/UI, full thread/category actions and non-Gmail review remain; existing accounts need re-consent and IMAP stays read-only. A clean full-chain SQLite apply fails in the pre-existing JT-019 migration before the new draft migration. Browser/provider/MariaDB/production unavailable or unverified; recovery scan performance is unmeasured at large ledger scale; Jest open handles; SEC-006 parser dependency work is still separately gated; parser isolation remains SEC-007.
-- **Exact next action:** review, commit and push V-169; then execute the scoped cross-application contrast/accessibility inventory and corrections under UX-002/UX-003/VER-001.
-- **Work that can continue independently:** cross-app contrast/accessibility, PRODUCT-001, VER-001 and tracking reconciliation. UX/JOBS production, MAIL provider mutations, SEC-006/007 and PROD packages retain their recorded external gates.
+- **Exact next action:** commit/push V-170, inventory Free/Pro claims and implement the supported PRODUCT-001 surface without invented commercial terms.
+- **Work that can continue independently:** PRODUCT-001, VER-001 and tracking reconciliation. UX/JOBS production, MAIL provider mutations, SEC-006/007 and PROD packages retain their recorded external gates.
 - **Decisions still required from the user:** none for synthetic/code-inspected repository work. Any provider connection or send test, internet/package upgrades, private data, external/paid providers and production actions retain explicit approval/safety gates; SEC-009 retention/legal policy remains unresolved.
