# Session 01: Responsive And Accessibility Hardening

**Session ID**: `phase16-session01-responsive-and-accessibility-hardening` **Package**: public-website **Status**: Not Started **Estimated Tasks**: \~18-24 **Estimated Duration**: 2-4 hours

***

## Objective

Verify and fix layout, keyboard, contrast, focus, heading, semantic landmark, mobile navigation, and reduced-motion behavior across the full website.

***

## Scope

### In Scope (MVP)

* Audit all first-release routes at 360px, 768px, 1280px, and wide desktop.
* Fix text overlap, clipping, wrapping, and unstable layout.
* Apply `word-wrap: break-word;` and `overflow-wrap: break-word;` where long text or code-like content can otherwise overflow.
* Verify semantic landmarks: `header`, `nav`, `main`, and `footer`.
* Verify one `h1` per page and ordered heading levels.
* Verify skip link behavior.
* Verify keyboard-visible focus for all links and controls.
* Verify accessible names for external links, icon-only controls, preview controls, and mobile navigation.
* Verify body text contrast minimum `4.5:1`.
* Ensure state is not conveyed by color alone.
* Verify product mockups have useful semantics, alt text, or nearby explanatory text.
* Verify `prefers-reduced-motion` disables continuous motion.

### Out of Scope

* Formal WCAG certification.
* Third-party accessibility audit.
* Deep performance optimization.
* Deployment setup.

***

## Prerequisites

* [ ] Phases 13-15 completed.
* [ ] Website dev or preview server can run locally.

***

## Deliverables

1. Responsive fixes across affected routes/components.
2. Accessibility fixes across navigation, CTAs, content, and mockups.
3. Reduced-motion verification.
4. Manual QA notes recorded in the session implementation/validation files.

***

## Viewports

Validate at:

* 360px mobile.
* 768px tablet.
* 1280px desktop.
* 1440px or wider desktop.

***

## Task Expansion Guidance

When expanded with `plansession`, keep the checklist to 18-24 tasks covering:

* Route inventory.
* Mobile viewport pass.
* Tablet viewport pass.
* Desktop viewport pass.
* Wide viewport pass.
* Header keyboard pass.
* Mobile nav keyboard pass.
* CTA focus pass.
* Heading/landmark pass.
* Contrast pass.
* Reduced-motion pass.
* Mockup alt/semantics pass.
* Fixes.
* Build/typecheck.

***

## Success Criteria

* [ ] No incoherent overlap or clipping remains at target viewports.
* [ ] Header, mobile nav, CTAs, blog/news lists, and legal pages work by keyboard.
* [ ] Visible focus states are present.
* [ ] Reduced-motion users do not get continuous animation.
* [ ] Accessibility issues found in this session are fixed or recorded as launch blockers.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/phases/phase_16/session_01_responsive_and_accessibility_hardening.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
