Retest

Retest

Verify that accessibility fixes for "$ARGUMENTS" are effective and produce a formal conformance statement.

Prerequisites

Read all prior artifacts. If .metapowers/accessibility/$ARGUMENTS/04-remediate.md does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 4 (Remediate) has not been completed for "$ARGUMENTS". Run /accessibility:remediate $ARGUMENTS first, or use --skip-checks to bypass.

If --skip-checks is present in $ARGUMENTS, skip this check and log to .metapowers/accessibility/$ARGUMENTS/skip-log.md.

Process

1. Read all prior artifacts:

   • Read .metapowers/accessibility/$ARGUMENTS/01-scope.md for original scope
   • Read .metapowers/accessibility/$ARGUMENTS/02-evaluate.md for original issues
   • Read .metapowers/accessibility/$ARGUMENTS/03-report.md for detailed findings
   • Read .metapowers/accessibility/$ARGUMENTS/04-remediate.md for fixes applied

2. Re-evaluate each fixed issue:

   • Read the current code for each fixed issue
   • Verify the fix resolves the original WCAG violation
   • Check for regressions — did the fix break anything else?
   • Update issue status: verified fixed, partially fixed, or regression found

3. Run regression checks:

   • Re-check all WCAG criteria from the scope
   • Verify no new issues were introduced by the fixes
   • Check keyboard navigation flow end-to-end
   • Verify ARIA attributes are correct

4. Produce conformance statement:

   • Overall conformance level achieved
   • Per-principle conformance status
   • Known remaining issues (if any)
   • Recommendations for ongoing maintenance

5. Write the artifact to .metapowers/accessibility/$ARGUMENTS/05-retest.md with sections:

   • Verification Results — each issue with retest outcome
   • Regression Check — any new issues found
   • Conformance Statement — formal WCAG conformance declaration
   • Remaining Issues — known gaps with justification
   • Maintenance Recommendations — ongoing monitoring advice

Output

The conformance statement written to .metapowers/accessibility/$ARGUMENTS/05-retest.md. Present a summary to the user highlighting:

• Conformance level achieved
• Issues verified as fixed
• Any remaining gaps
• Maintenance recommendations
