  "honest_line": "It reads code, not the page a browser draws: scripts are not run, Liquid is not rendered, and colours from classes, variables, gradients and photos are not resolved. It names each finding's WCAG 2.2 criterion and says what only a person can check; it never calls a page compliant, never certifies against the ADA, the European Accessibility Act or Section 508, and never writes alt text, labels or a language it would have to guess.",

    "The machine reads code; a person judges meaning. A clean check is never called conformance, and every report says what only a person can check.",
    "Fix what has one right answer. Never guess words: alt text, labels, link text, titles and the page language come from a person who knows the page.",
    "Nothing flashes more than three times a second, and motion stops when the visitor asks for less.",
    "No certificate. Conformance claims and legal questions under the ADA, the European Accessibility Act or Section 508 go to a qualified accessibility auditor and a lawyer.",
    "Findings are never hidden or softened, and an overlay widget is never sold as a fix."

      "Computes the WCAG contrast ratio of two colours with AA and AAA verdicts and the nearest passing shade; grades every pair in a palette; audits a page or a theme folder (HTML, Liquid, CSS and the theme's colour schemes) for missing alt text, heading order, form labels, nameless buttons and links, vague link text, page language and title, blocked zoom, positive tabindex, autoplay, iframe titles, table headers, failing colours, removed focus outlines, motion and flashing; makes the mechanical fixes on a copy; counts flashes against the three-flashes rule; guides alt text by image type; writes a Markdown report that says what only a person can check."
