Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® 2.5 INT — WCAG 2.2, EN 301 549 and Revised Section 508, from the repository's own evidence

This report is published in English only: the criteria, their names and the four conformance terms are defined in English by the VPAT template, and a procurement reviewer compares it against other vendors' reports in that form. The accessibility statement around it is available in English, Turkish and German.

Product: InternshipCRM — the web application (public pages, sign-in, mentee, mentor, admin and company areas)
Report date: 2026-10-07
Version: The deployed version and commit are printed on /release-notes and returned by GET /api/health; the automated evidence below names the commit the baseline was last changed at.
Contact: The feedback channel (operator e-mail, response target and escalation route) is published on /accessibility; the public issue tracker is the second channel.
Notes: Self-assessment by the maintainers; no third-party audit has been commissioned. Conformance is claimed only for the product's own user interface: files users upload, e-mail as rendered by a mail client and the two embedded third parties (the Jitsi meeting room, the marketing-cookie-gated live chat on the home page) are out of scope and listed as known limitations on /accessibility.

Evaluation methods used

Automated: an axe-core scan (`@axe-core/playwright`) with the WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA rule sets over every page state in `e2e/a11y-baseline.json`, each in light and dark mode, in five role contexts (public, mentee, mentor, admin, company). Critical and serious findings fail every pull request (`.github/workflows/e2e.yml`); the per-page result is the appendix generated by `npm run vpat:evidence`.
Targeted mechanical checks written against single criteria: contrast of specific components in both themes (`e2e/contrast-*.spec.ts`, `e2e/helpers/hoverContrast.ts`), keyboard operation of the pipeline board, the global search combobox and the calendar (`e2e/board-a11y.spec.ts`, `e2e/global-search-a11y.spec.ts`, `e2e/calendar-a11y-2153.spec.ts`), the skip link (`e2e/a11y.spec.ts`), text resize and 320 px / 400 % reflow (`e2e/font-size.spec.ts`, `e2e/mobile-layout-audit.spec.ts`), and the OS preferences reduced motion, more contrast and forced colours (`e2e/a11y-media-preferences.spec.ts`).
Manual: no structured screen-reader or keyboard test programme has been run yet. Every row whose only basis would be the authors' own use is marked Partially Supports and names the tracking issue, so this report does not imply coverage it does not have.
Scope of the evaluated URLs: exactly the page states listed in the appendix. The rest of the product follows the same components and conventions but is pending evaluation.

What was evaluated — and what was not

Exactly these 25 URLs, each in light and dark mode (50 page states), at commit f419bba (2026-10-07), with 0 open critical or serious findings frozen in the baseline. Every other URL of the product is pending evaluation; the report never implies whole-product coverage from this set.

32 · Partially Supports
0 · Does Not Support
6 · Not Applicable

Counts over the 56 WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criteria. "Partially Supports" is used wherever the only basis would be our own use of the product — those rows name the issue a manual test programme or a fix would move.

Terms

Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.
Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.
Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion.
Not Applicable: The criterion is not relevant to the product.

WCAG 2.2 report

Table 1: Success criteria, Level A

Criteria	Conformance level	Remarks and explanations	Evidence
1.1.1 Non-text Content	Partially Supports	The axe rules for images, icons, buttons and links (image-alt, svg-img-alt, button-name, link-name) report no violation on any scanned page state. Decorative icons are aria-hidden through the shared UI components; message and announcement images carry the file name as their alternative, which is a label, not a description — and no page outside the scan has been reviewed. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/a11y-baseline.json e2e/a11y-scan.spec.ts src/components/MessageThreadView.tsx #2864
1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded)	Supports	The product publishes no audio. Its only prerecorded video is the silent screen clip a release note may carry, and the release text next to it is the text alternative (releases/README.md, "media").	releases/README.md check: `grep -rln "<audio" src --exclude=vpat.ts` returns nothing
1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded)	Not Applicable	No prerecorded synchronized media with audio: release clips are silent.	releases/README.md
1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded)	Not Applicable	No prerecorded synchronized media with audio.	releases/README.md
1.3.1 Info and Relationships	Partially Supports	Form labels, list and table structure, heading levels and ARIA parent/child requirements are checked by the axe rule set on every scanned page state with no violation. Structure of the pages outside the scan and the correctness of what the automation cannot judge (whether a visual grouping is also a programmatic one) await a screen-reader pass. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/a11y-baseline.json e2e/a11y-scan.spec.ts #2864
1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence	Partially Supports	Layout is CSS over a DOM that reads in visual order; the responsive shells render one DOM for every width (e2e/mobile-layout-audit.spec.ts) rather than reordering. Not verified with a screen reader. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/mobile-layout-audit.spec.ts #2864
1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics	Partially Supports	Pipeline stages, offer states and notification kinds are named in text next to any colour or icon (the Badge component always carries a label). No instruction in the interface refers to a position or shape alone, to the authors' knowledge; manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/ui/Badge.tsx #2864
1.4.1 Use of Color	Partially Supports	Links inside running text are underlined (the axe link-in-text-block rule reports no violation), and every status that has a colour also has text. Charts in the analytics screens use colour plus a legend and a value table where one exists; not every chart has been reviewed. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/a11y-baseline.json src/components/ui/Badge.tsx #2864
1.4.2 Audio Control	Not Applicable	No audio plays automatically: the product plays no audio of its own, and its one autoplaying element, the release-note clip, is muted and silent.	check: `grep -rln "<audio" src --exclude=vpat.ts` returns nothing src/components/ReleaseNoteMedia.tsx
2.1.1 Keyboard	Partially Supports	The interactions most likely to be pointer-only are covered mechanically: the pipeline board's drag-and-drop has a keyboard stage select on every card, the global search is a keyboard-operable combobox, calendar cells and the view switcher are buttons with names, dialogs manage focus. A whole-product keyboard pass has not been run. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/board-a11y.spec.ts e2e/global-search-a11y.spec.ts e2e/calendar-a11y-2153.spec.ts src/components/ui/useModalFocus.ts #2864
2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap	Supports	Dialogs hold Tab inside only while open and release it on Escape or close, restoring focus to the opener; no other component captures focus. The embedded meeting room is a third-party iframe the person can leave by closing it.	src/components/ui/useModalFocus.ts e2e/global-search-a11y.spec.ts
2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts	Partially Supports	One single-character shortcut exists: "?" opens the shortcut sheet, and it is ignored while focus is in a text field; the others are chords (Mod+K) or non-printing keys. There is no setting to turn the "?" binding off or remap it. Tracked in #2864.	src/lib/shortcuts.ts #2864
2.2.1 Timing Adjustable	Partially Supports	A session is renewed silently while in use and expires 12 hours after the last activity without a warning or an in-page way to extend it; "keep me signed in" removes the limit for 30 days per device. Toasts auto-dismiss, but what they report stays visible on the page. Tracked in #2864.	src/lib/auth.ts docs/remember-me.md src/components/ui/Toast.tsx #2864
2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide	Partially Supports	No carousel, auto-advancing content or blinking. Loading indicators (pulse, spin) stop when the content arrives, and under prefers-reduced-motion every CSS animation and transition is neutralised. Real-time updates (unread counters, a live thread) cannot be paused from the interface. Tracked in #2864.	e2e/a11y-media-preferences.spec.ts src/lib/motion.ts #2864
2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below Threshold	Supports	Nothing flashes: the only animations are a skeleton pulse, a spinner, the one-per-second ping ring on the live meeting pill and slide transitions, none of which exceeds three changes per second or repeats a flash.	check: `grep -rhoE "animate-[a-z-]+" src \| sed "s/^animate-//" \| sort -u` lists ping, pulse and spin only src/lib/motion.ts
2.4.1 Bypass Blocks	Supports	Every page — public and signed-in — begins with a skip link that targets the main landmark, and the shells expose header, navigation and main landmarks.	e2e/a11y.spec.ts:9 src/components/ResponsiveShell.tsx src/components/landing/PublicShell.tsx src/components/MessagesShell.tsx
2.4.2 Page Titled	Supports	Public pages declare their own title and description per language through one helper; the root layout appends the product name. The axe document-title rule reports no violation on any scanned page state.	src/lib/pageMetadata.ts e2e/a11y-baseline.json
2.4.3 Focus Order	Partially Supports	Focus follows DOM order, which follows visual order; dialogs take initial focus and return it on close. Not verified with a keyboard pass across the product. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/ui/useModalFocus.ts #2864
2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)	Partially Supports	The axe link-name rule reports no violation on the scanned page states; "see all" style links are rendered inside the card they refer to. Not reviewed outside the scan. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/a11y-baseline.json #2864
2.5.1 Pointer Gestures	Supports	No multipoint or path-based gesture is required: the board's drag-and-drop has a single-pointer and keyboard alternative (the stage select on each card) and nothing else uses a gesture.	src/components/board/CardStageSelect.tsx e2e/board-a11y.spec.ts
2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation	Partially Supports	Actions fire on click (the up event) through the shared Button; the board's drag library completes a move only on drop. Not systematically verified. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/ui/Button.tsx #2864
2.5.3 Label in Name	Partially Supports	Visible labels are the accessible names by construction in the shared components (the label element is the name); icon-only controls carry aria-label. The label-content-name-mismatch rule is not part of the gate's tag set. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/ui/Input.tsx #2864
2.5.4 Motion Actuation	Supports	No function is operated by device motion or user motion.	check: `grep -rnE "devicemotion\|deviceorientation" src --exclude=vpat.ts` returns nothing
3.1.1 Language of Page	Supports	The document declares the interface language (en, tr or de) from the request; the axe html-has-lang and html-lang-valid rules report no violation.	src/app/layout.tsx:152 e2e/a11y-baseline.json
3.2.1 On Focus	Partially Supports	Nothing changes context on focus to the authors' knowledge; manual verification pending (#2864).	#2864
3.2.2 On Input	Partially Supports	The language, theme and text-size controls apply on change, as settings controls do; they do not navigate. Filter selects on the admin indexes re-query the list in place. No form submits on input. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/AccountSettings.tsx #2864
3.2.6 Consistent Help	Partially Supports	On the public pages the feedback and issue-tracker links sit in the footer and on /accessibility in the same place on every page; inside the signed-in shells the support entry exists only in the admin navigation, not in a consistent place for every role. Tracked in #2864.	src/components/landing/PublicShell.tsx src/lib/navLinks.ts #2864
3.3.1 Error Identification	Partially Supports	Field errors are rendered as text under the field through the shared Input/Select error prop and form-level errors in an alert box; not every form has been checked for naming the field in error. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/ui/Input.tsx src/components/ui/Select.tsx #2864
3.3.2 Labels or Instructions	Partially Supports	Every input rendered through the shared components has a label (the axe label rules report no violation on the scanned page states); hints are a first-class prop. Instruction sufficiency outside the scan is not reviewed. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/ui/Input.tsx e2e/a11y-baseline.json #2864
3.3.7 Redundant Entry	Partially Supports	Autocomplete is declared on identity fields and the account form is pre-filled from the profile; multi-step forms (registration, applications, the offer wizard) have not been audited for asking the same thing twice. Tracked in #2864.	src/app/auth/signin/SignInClient.tsx #2864
4.1.1 Parsing	Not Applicable	Removed from WCAG 2.2 (always satisfied for HTML processed by modern user agents). Reported as Not Applicable per the WCAG 2.2 note; the duplicate-id and aria rules that used to stand in for it are in the scan.	e2e/a11y-baseline.json
4.1.2 Name, Role, Value	Partially Supports	Native elements are used for native things; the custom widgets that exist (combobox search, calendar grid, board stage select, dialogs) carry roles, names and states and have targeted specs; the axe aria-* and *-name rules report no violation on the scanned page states (the unnamed account selects of #2041 were fixed). Custom components beyond the scanned pages await a screen-reader pass. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/a11y-baseline.json e2e/global-search-a11y.spec.ts e2e/calendar-a11y-2153.spec.ts src/components/AccountSettings.tsx #2864

Table 2: Success criteria, Level AA

Criteria	Conformance level	Remarks and explanations	Evidence
1.2.4 Captions (Live)	Not Applicable	The product publishes no live synchronized media. Real-time meetings between people run in the embedded third-party Jitsi room, which is out of scope (see EN 301 549 chapter 6).	src/lib/meetingLink.ts
1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded)	Not Applicable	No prerecorded synchronized media with audio.	releases/README.md
1.3.4 Orientation	Supports	Nothing locks or assumes an orientation: the web manifest declares `orientation: any`, no code calls `screen.orientation.lock` and no stylesheet gates a layout on the orientation; layouts are fluid from 320 px up and are exercised at phone and tablet widths in both themes.	src/app/manifest.ts e2e/mobile-layout-audit.spec.ts check: `grep -rnE "orientation[.]lock\|@media[^{]*orientation" src --exclude=vpat.ts` returns nothing
1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose	Partially Supports	Sign-in, registration and the account form declare autocomplete purposes (email, current-password, one-time-code, name, tel …). The remaining forms that collect personal data have not been audited field by field. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/app/auth/signin/SignInClient.tsx check: `grep -rn "autoComplete=" src --include=*.tsx \| wc -l` lists the declared purposes #2864
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)	Supports	The axe color-contrast rule runs over every scanned page state in light AND dark mode with no violation; a hover-contrast check hovers every `hover:text-*` element on each scanned page in both themes and enforces 4.5:1 against the real background; dedicated specs pin the pairs axe cannot see (white text on accent surfaces, the journey tracker, calendar and onboarding targets, the RSVP buttons, the unread badge, the mode switcher). A reflow of the layout can place a text over a new background, which is why the hover check exists; pages outside the scan are covered by the same colour tokens but are not measured.	e2e/a11y-baseline.json e2e/helpers/hoverContrast.ts e2e/contrast-1299.spec.ts e2e/contrast-1343.spec.ts e2e/contrast-1415.spec.ts e2e/contrast-1417.spec.ts e2e/dark-mode-admin-headers.spec.ts
1.4.4 Resize Text	Supports	An in-app text-size stepper scales the interface and persists; on top of it, 400 % browser zoom is exercised on the board and the calendar without loss of content or function, and no page scrolls sideways at phone width.	src/components/FontSizeControl.tsx e2e/font-size.spec.ts e2e/mobile-layout-audit.spec.ts:268
1.4.5 Images of Text	Partially Supports	The interface renders text as text; the only image of text is the logo (exempt). User-uploaded images (CVs rendered as previews, message attachments) can contain text and are outside the authors' control. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/BrandMark.tsx #2864
1.4.10 Reflow	Partially Supports	Verified at 320 CSS px and 400 % zoom for the pipeline board, the calendar and the role shells, with the page never scrolling sideways; the calendar's view switcher scrolls inside its own strip at 320 px in German, which is the permitted two-dimensional exception for a toolbar but is recorded in the spec rather than assumed. Data tables (admin lists) scroll horizontally inside their container by design. Other screens are not measured at 320 px. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/mobile-layout-audit.spec.ts:268 #2864
1.4.11 Non-text Contrast	Partially Supports	The focus indicator is a 2 px ring in the accent colour, thickened under prefers-contrast: more; input borders and secondary text are strengthened under the same preference (e2e/a11y-media-preferences.spec.ts). Control boundaries and icon-only controls have not been measured against 3:1 systematically. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/app/globals.css:426 e2e/a11y-media-preferences.spec.ts #2864
1.4.12 Text Spacing	Partially Supports	Text containers use flexible heights (Tailwind utilities, no fixed-height text boxes by convention) and the 400 % zoom check passes, but the specific text-spacing override of this criterion has not been applied and checked. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/mobile-layout-audit.spec.ts:268 #2864
1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus	Partially Supports	Menus and dialogs opened by pointer or keyboard are dismissible with Escape and stay open while hovered (useModalFocus); past instants show their absolute reading as a native title tooltip, which the user agent controls. Custom tooltips have not been inventoried. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/ui/useModalFocus.ts src/components/ui/RelativeTime.tsx #2864
2.4.5 Multiple Ways	Supports	Signed-in: the role navigation, a global search (Mod+K) and in-page links. Public: the navigation, the footer and a sitemap built from the single public-route registry.	src/lib/navLinks.ts e2e/global-search-a11y.spec.ts src/lib/publicRoutes.ts src/app/sitemap.ts
2.4.6 Headings and Labels	Partially Supports	Every page has a top-level heading and form controls have labels (axe label rules clean on the scanned page states). Whether each heading and label is also descriptive is a judgement the automation does not make. manual verification pending (#2864).	e2e/a11y-baseline.json #2864
2.4.7 Focus Visible	Supports	A global :focus-visible ring on links, buttons, role=button, inputs and selects in the accent colour, thickened under prefers-contrast: more and kept under forced colours.	src/app/globals.css:426 e2e/a11y-media-preferences.spec.ts
2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum)	Partially Supports	The sticky mobile top bar and the messages header can sit over a focused control after a programmatic scroll; whether a focused element is ever entirely hidden has not been checked. Tracked in #2864.	src/components/ResponsiveShell.tsx #2864
2.5.7 Dragging Movements	Supports	The one dragging interaction, moving a card between pipeline stages, is also achievable with the stage select on the card (single pointer, no drag).	src/components/board/CardStageSelect.tsx e2e/board-a11y.spec.ts
2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum)	Supports	Buttons and inputs are at least 44 × 44 CSS px on touch viewports; the axe target-size rule (wcag22aa) runs on every scanned page state with no violation.	src/components/ui/Button.tsx src/components/ui/Input.tsx e2e/a11y-baseline.json
3.1.2 Language of Parts	Partially Supports	The whole interface switches language together. Content written by people in another language than the interface (a Turkish note in an English session) is not marked with its own lang. Tracked in #2864.	src/app/layout.tsx:152 #2864
3.2.3 Consistent Navigation	Supports	Every role's navigation comes from one registry and is rendered by one shell per surface, so order and placement do not vary between pages.	src/lib/navLinks.ts src/components/ResponsiveShell.tsx src/components/landing/PublicShell.tsx
3.2.4 Consistent Identification	Partially Supports	Icons and labels come from the shared UI components and one dictionary per language, so the same function carries the same label. Not audited as a whole. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/i18n/dictionaries.ts #2864
3.3.3 Error Suggestion	Partially Supports	Validation messages say what is expected (format, length, required currency and period for an amount, …) where the rule is known; coverage per form is not audited. manual verification pending (#2864).	src/components/OfferWizardModal.tsx #2864
3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data)	Supports	Irreversible actions (withdrawing or sending an offer, removing a device, deleting) require an explicit confirmation dialog, and multi-step submissions show a preview before they are sent.	src/components/ui/ConfirmDialog.tsx src/components/OfferWizardModal.tsx
3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum)	Supports	No CAPTCHA and no puzzle. Password sign-in accepts paste and password managers (autocomplete current-password); the second factor is an authenticator code with autocomplete one-time-code, with printable recovery codes as the alternative; a remembered device needs no re-entry for 30 days; enterprise tenants can sign in through their identity provider. A passwordless e-mail link (#1959) is in review.	src/app/auth/signin/SignInClient.tsx docs/two-factor-recovery.md docs/remember-me.md docs/sso-saml.md
4.1.3 Status Messages	Partially Supports	One app-wide live region (mounted empty, announced on change), toasts with role=status and loading/error sections with role=status/alert cover saves, errors and loading. Result counts of searches and filtered lists and the character counters are not announced consistently. Tracked in #2864.	src/components/ui/LiveRegion.tsx src/components/ui/Toast.tsx src/components/ui/AsyncSection.tsx #2864

Table 3: Success criteria, Level AAA

Level AAA is not a conformance target of this product. Only the criteria above were evaluated; every other Level AAA criterion is Not Evaluated.

Criteria	Conformance level	Remarks and explanations	Evidence
2.3.3 Animation from Interactions	Supports	Under prefers-reduced-motion every CSS transition and animation is neutralised and programmatic smooth scrolling becomes instant; the drawer still opens and closes without its slide.	src/lib/motion.ts e2e/a11y-media-preferences.spec.ts
1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced)	Partially Supports	Under prefers-contrast: more, borders and secondary text are strengthened; 7:1 is not claimed for the default palette.	e2e/a11y-media-preferences.spec.ts
