Scoring mode: Errors-only (critical+serious confirmed violations)

PASS/FAIL meaning: PASS indicates no automated axe “violations” were detected for the selected WCAG tags across scanned pages. Automated tools cannot prove full WCAG conformance; some criteria require manual testing.

WCAG coverage note: This report reflects automated checks only. It does not cover all WCAG success criteria (for example, many keyboard behavior, focus management, interaction logic, and content quality checks require manual review and/or assistive technology testing).
