  • ✅ Dark mode with proper contrast
  • ✅ Dynamic theme switching
  • ✅ Consistent use of CSS variables
  • ✅ No deprecated patterns

Accessibility Audit Results

Command: npm run lint:a11y
Status: ✅ Working (fixed in PR #1072)
Total Warnings: 147

Issue Breakdown

Rule Count Description
jsx-a11y/click-events-have-key-events 55 Interactive elements need keyboard support
jsx-a11y/no-static-element-interactions 51 Non-semantic interactive elements
jsx-a11y/label-has-associated-control 33 Form labels not properly associated
jsx-a11y/no-noninteractive-element-interactions 5 Mouse/keyboard events on non-interactive elements
jsx-a11y/no-autofocus 3 Autofocus accessibility concerns

Most Affected Components

  1. ActorEditor.js (11 warnings)

Status: ✅ Success
Build Output: Generated successfully in build/ directory
