ACCESSIBILITY TASK · REVIEWED AUGUST 31, 2026
Cognitive Load and Error-Recovery Check
A companion interface should support orientation, predictable actions and recovery when attention or memory is limited.
This task records scoped evidence. It is not accessibility certification, legal advice or a universal result.
