How this rule is checked

Deterministic lane — scope generic. Detected by det-a11y-generic-*.check.js or the axe lane for WCAG-tagged violations.

  • Harness: auditor-tests/invoke-a11y-ruleset-harness.sh on the Before fixture.
  • Audit: analyze-website-a11y.mjs --only-deterministic-rule-ids DET.A11Y.GENERIC.TITLE

Module: docs/design/a11y-audit/deterministic-a11y-rules.md#det-a11y-generic-title. See Before / After below.

Purpose

Deterministic accessibility check (generic scope).

Passing signals

  • DOM and/or repo signals satisfy the rule implementation in tools/website-a11y-auditor.
  • For axe-backed WCAG criteria, use --lanes axe,det with an appropriate --standard preset.

Failing signals

  • Auditor emits a finding with ruleId DET.A11Y.GENERIC.TITLE on the crawled URL.
  • Harness: auditor-tests/invoke-a11y-ruleset-harness.sh DET.A11Y.GENERIC.TITLE expects ≥1 finding on the Before fixture.

Before example

Before (failing example)

Placeholder failing state for DET.A11Y.GENERIC.TITLE (generic).

After example

After (passing example)

Placeholder passing state for DET.A11Y.GENERIC.TITLE.

Evidence and remediation

  1. Reproduce with analyze-website-a11y.mjs --only-deterministic-rule-ids DET.A11Y.GENERIC.TITLE when lane is deterministic.
  2. Apply the After markup pattern (or fix generator source for KS rules).
  3. Re-run harness or audit until the rule is clean on the target URL.
