2026-10-02 post-successor drift

Predecessor #739 advanced after successor creation to 865abe4dba7b5d694034033cb051b0ffa989a8a6. Exact comparison from this successor head 6ec05980845555c6f1a9fce92906be5c840de576 reports zero changed files; therefore this stable branch still carries every effective delta. No predecessor retirement is authorized yet.

Verified successor scope

This Draft successor isolates the complete valid accessibility delta from predecessor #739 after its generator-owned branch advanced twice with empty duplicate commits while exact-head review was in progress.

• protected base: developmental@2fa92012bcf80acc1f921a4bafea76b3b1424b46;
• predecessor head captured without force: 6ec05980845555c6f1a9fce92906be5c840de576;
• successor starts at the exact same commit/tree and preserves all predecessor ancestry;
• comparison b779f1e… → fdf876e… → 6ec0598… is two commits ahead with zero file changes;
• effective diff remains six report components adding aria-hidden="true" only to decorative icons whose adjacent text or enclosing control supplies the accessible name.

Lifecycle and blockers

Status: Draft / stable successor.

Predecessor #739 remains open as provenance; do not close it until this successor is independently verified and integrated.

The predecessor's exact-tree CI and Semgrep were GREEN, but those results do not transfer. The protected base still exposes seven dependency findings owned by #615, and CodeQL materialization is blocked by the central owner gap tracked in ContextualWisdomLab/.github#2548. Require this successor's own terminal CI, Security, Semgrep, CodeQL, zero unresolved review findings, and qualifying independent approval before ordinary merge. No auto-merge is enabled.
