LAKA-WCAG-FOCUS-VISIBILITY
wcag_requirement change level: Minor Change execution: NOT_TESTED
Object
focused control — A concrete authorized component instance; bind before execution.
States: focused overlay-open
Applicability — IF
- control.receives_keyboard_focus
Requirement — THEN REQUIRE
- OR
- focus.control_not_entirely_obscured_by_authored_content
- focus.criterion_note_conditions_verified
WCAG references
Implementation
Adjust the layout, scrolling or overlay interaction while preserving a meaningful focus path.
LAKA instantiation
- Object
- focused control in the declared test scope.
- Conditions
- Use the listed states with a recorded role, fixture and environment.
- Actions
- Execute the named task and its relevant recovery transitions.
- Tools
- Use repository test adapters and qualified manual review where needed.
- Resources
- Synthetic fixtures, a test environment, accountable owner and evidence store.
- Outcomes
- The AA obstruction requirement holds for the concrete focused control.
- Feedback
- Preserve observations and create a linked regression check after repair.
- Constraints
- Do not weaken security, erase information or reduce task functionality.
- Value
- Support independent operation of this task without the recorded barrier.
- Failure mode
- An assertion fails, remains unknown or regresses in a relevant state.
