6. Known Limitations and Work in Progress

• Some interactive elements generated by external libraries (e.g., Radix UI) may require additional testing on different platforms.
• Ongoing work to further improve keyboard shortcut support and custom gestures.
• Planned addition of more interface customization options (e.g., dark mode, font size).

7. Accessibility Assurance Process

• The application underwent a 3-phase accessibility audit and improvement process (February-March 2026):
  • Phase 1: Critical fixes (contrast, ARIA, landmarks) - 65/100 → 85/100
  • Phase 2: Forms and validation (autocomplete, inline validation) - 85/100 → 90/100
  • Phase 3: Navigation and help (breadcrumbs, help system) - 90/100 → 93/100
• All new features are designed with accessibility requirements from the beginning of the development process.
• Regular testing with screen readers and automated tools (Lighthouse, axe DevTools).
• Application development based on Radix UI component library, which provides accessibility foundations.
