About Visual ARIA

Visual ARIA allows engineers, testers, educators, and students to physically observe ARIA usage within web technologies, including ARIA 1.1 structural, live region, and widget roles, proper nesting and focus management, plus requisite and optional supporting attributes to aid in development.

All checks now penetrate open shadow roots, slotted content is correctly traced back to its shadow tree ancestors, and visual CSS indicators are injected per-feature in sync with each checkbox toggle.
