## Launch prompt
Not a `/goal` launch. Opened conversationally: "We need to make the entire
simulator accessible, assuming it's not being used at a kiosk. What are the
different types of accessibility and your suggestions (and difficulty)?" Then:
build the first pass on a worktree, and add an `about.html` about the project's
intent (accessible to all humans; vantage points from underwater→drones→space
exploration; built with LLMs; honest that it's imperfect but more than the author
alone could make).
Drove through the **superpowers** pipeline (brainstorming → writing-plans →
executing-plans → finishing-a-development-branch), not a wgl init — so the wgl
transcript ID was claimed at finalize (this file).
## Pre-state
- Simulator built for an attended **kiosk**; the Cloudflare static publish
(`design/cloudflare-static-publish`, already merged to `main` mid-session as
`87d605d`) puts it on a public URL where no AT/attendant assumptions hold.
- No `prefers-reduced-motion`, no keyboard on the SVG Altitude dial, several
failing-contrast colors, no screen-reader path, no seizure safeguard — on a
piece that is continuous motion + a "trippy at max" WebGL shader.
## Arc (turn-by-turn)
1. **Analysis** — read `index.html` / `style.css`, grepped `app.js` (zero aria /
keyboard / reduced-motion). Enumerated 7 accessibility types grounded in the
actual UI, with difficulty + a priority table. Recommended WCAG 2.1 AA + a
motion/seizure layer.
2. **Brainstorming** — operator chose: reduced-motion = **freeze-to-stills**;
photosensitivity = **warning gate + flash audit**; about page = **English-first**.
Added the about-page "imperfect but more than alone" beat. Wrote + committed the
design spec.
3. **Worktree** — first tried `EnterWorktree` (branches off `origin/main`); on
inspecting the diff, the work belonged on `design/cloudflare-static-publish`
(correct `app.js`, existing `credits.html` pattern). Operator: "new worktree off
that, keep separate until ready for main." Created
`feat/accessibility-pass` off the design branch under `.claude/worktrees/`.
4. **Plan** — 10 bite-sized TDD tasks, committed.
5. **Execution (TDD, test-first each)** — (1) layout: lang picker below Audio,
globe inline-left; (2) AA contrast + focus-visible + visually-hidden; (3)
`flash.js` pure WCAG-2.3.1 helper + node tests; (4) one-time photosensitivity
gate; (5) reduced-motion freeze (single `playLoop()` guard + instant `autoScrub`);
(6) keyboard/ARIA dial (`role=slider`, Arrow/Home/End, label buttons); (7)
aria-live narration + `aria-hidden` decoratives; (8) wire flash-clamp + document
audit (no breach found); (9) `about.html` + header link + `PUBLIC_ASSETS`.
9 a11y e2e + 2 node tests, all green; fixed a gate-vs-run-sim regression in the
shared `boot()` helper.
6. **Finish** — operator: merge everything to main + push origin. `origin/main`
had advanced 29 commits (static-publish already landed there) → divergent merge;
one `app.js` conflict (main's D3 reverse-landing fix vs my reduced-motion guard)
resolved keeping **both**. Re-verified on merged code (a11y 9/9, altitude-lock
13/13, i18n 1/1, static-build 2/2, flash 2/2). Pushed `ff06783..380c2d1 main`.
Removed the worktree; stopped bg servers.
## Cut state
- **a11y pass + About page MERGED + PUSHED to `origin/main` (`380c2d1`).**
- On `main` but **NOT deployed** — live benstull.art needs a Cloudflare redeploy.
- App has **no content repo** → plan stays in-repo at
`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-30-accessibility-and-about-page.md`. No
`submit-plan.sh`. Project is **exempt** from §9/flotilla/PPE (Cloudflare static).
- A **concurrent** commit `1a6ffc7` ("phase-1 preload gate") sits on local `main`
ahead of origin by 1 — **not this session's; left untouched/unpushed** per
operator ("leave anything that isn't yours alone"). Other worktree
`fix+audio-and-tracking-labels` also left alone.
- Checkout now on `main` (was `design/cloudflare-static-publish` at start).
## Deferred decisions
_Autonomous low-confidence calls (no live placeholder existed, so logged here):_
- **SR narration = scale + clip title**, not the tiered factual (Think) HUD label —
simpler/robust; the plan explicitly permitted the degrade. Could enrich later.
- **Flash audit concluded no >3/sec breach** (1200ms per-altitude floor; fades are
single, ≥1.2s apart); `flash.js` wired only as a guard floor (no-op today).
- **Branched off the design branch, not main** — corrected after operator input.
- **Merged the full divergent history to main** (static-publish was already on
origin/main, so net-new was just the a11y work) — on explicit operator instruction.
## Next /goal
```
/goal redeploy benstull.art/human-experience-simulator to Cloudflare so the accessibility pass + About page go live, per cloudflare-deploy-live (build with `python3 -m tools.build_static`, then the R2/Pages deploy gestures)
```
Operator by-eye review of the a11y changes precedes the redeploy. Env gotchas for
the next session: run `build_static` as a **module** (`python3 -m tools.build_static`)
or `tools/http.py` shadows stdlib `http`; uvicorn dies mid-session and the e2e
`webServer` fallback calls `python` (only `python3` here) → start it by hand on :8099;
Playwright `test.use()` inside `test.describe()` breaks collection in PW 1.45.

## Deferred decisions
_Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have
liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at
finalize. Empty if none._
