Integrates the frontend template sync (a0fbafb → 5434760) into the TechLog UI migration. Merged in this direction so every conflict is resolved and proved in the worktree; main is only fast-forwarded afterwards and never holds a state that was not verified here. 15 conflicts. The rule throughout: keep the template's mechanism, keep the product's content, and never invent a third state neither branch would accept. The template's product manifest and its runtime feature kill switch are adopted. The route registry is deliberately not composed from contract.routes: the reference feature still declares screens this product deleted, and reducing over them would register paths with no component behind them. ROUTE_FEATURE_OWNER is narrowed to registered routes for the same reason. The first resolution did compose from contract.routes and was rejected by product-features.test.ts. Three files pinned counts and a digest describing the gate contract. Neither side's numbers describe the merged config/ci/gates.json, so they were recomputed from it rather than chosen: 27 gates, 82 commands, 94 command references, 107 evidence references, 128 artifacts, shape sha256 5063586d. README.md and docs/accessibility/manual-checklist.md now enumerate this product's 27 routes, which the template's own verify:documentation requires. product-feature-switch.test.tsx was rewritten around the invariant that still applies here — no registered route without a component — rather than deleted with the screens it used to exercise. docs/operations/template-merge-2026-08-17.md records every decision, the gate results, and the three follow-ups this merge deliberately did not decide.

# Manual accessibility review checklist
|
|
|
|
Automated axe checks do not establish WCAG conformance. A human reviewer must
|
|
review all 27 route records in `artifacts/tests/a11y-manual/` against one
|
|
release candidate and sign them. The required TechLog Public and Studio scope is
|
|
derived from the installed route registry, so the gate rejects stale, missing,
|
|
or additional route records as well as blank identity/timestamp/signature
|
|
fields, pending verdicts, and mismatched release IDs. The scope is:
|
|
`NOT_FOUND`, `TECH_LOG_CASE`, `TECH_LOG_EXPLORE`, `TECH_LOG_EXPLORE_KIND`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_HOME`, `TECH_LOG_PROFILE`, `TECH_LOG_PROJECT`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_PROJECTS`, `TECH_LOG_PROJECT_ACTIVITY`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_PROJECT_DECISIONS`, `TECH_LOG_PROJECT_RECORDS`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_QUESTION`, `TECH_LOG_REFERENCE`, `TECH_LOG_RELEASE`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_RELEASES`, `TECH_LOG_SEARCH`, `TECH_LOG_STUDIO_DOCUMENTS`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_STUDIO_DOCUMENT_EDIT`, `TECH_LOG_STUDIO_DOCUMENT_NEW`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_STUDIO_DOCUMENT_PREVIEW`, `TECH_LOG_STUDIO_DOCUMENT_PUBLISH`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_STUDIO_DOCUMENT_VALIDATION`, `TECH_LOG_STUDIO_HOME`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_STUDIO_NOT_FOUND`, `TECH_LOG_STUDIO_PUBLICATIONS`,
|
|
`TECH_LOG_STUDIO_PUBLICATION_PREVIEW`, `TECH_LOG_TOPIC`.
|
|
|
|
This list is not maintained by hand: `verify:documentation` compares it against
|
|
the installed route registry and fails when a registered route is absent. The
|
|
template carried the same rule for its own example screens; the route set is
|
|
this product's, the rule is the template's.
|
|
|
|
Allowed item verdicts:
|
|
|
|
- `pass`
|
|
- `not-applicable (<specific reason>)`

|
|
The reviewer must verify:
|
|
|
|
- M1: every action works without a pointing device
|
|
- M2: every focused element has a visible indicator
|
|
- M3: route transitions move focus to a deterministic target
|
|
- M4: modal focus is trapped and restored, when a modal exists
|
|
- M5: errors are programmatically associated with their controls, when present
|
|
- M6: state never relies on color alone
|
|
- M7: non-essential motion is suppressed with reduced-motion preference
|
|
- Screen reader: headings, live regions, errors, and actions are announced once
|
|
|
|
Routes with dialogs or form errors require real M4 modal-focus or M5
|
|
error-association review; those items must not be marked not-applicable when the
|
|
reviewed route exposes the relevant behavior. Passing automated evidence means
|
|
only that tested pages had no critical or serious axe findings under the
|
|
recorded browser runs.
