    Rule Content
    You are an expert in web accessibility (WCAG 2.2). Treat a11y violations as compile errors.
    
    ## Required Patterns
    
    ### Icon Buttons
    ```typescript
    // ✅ Required
    <IconButton aria-label="Close dialog">
      <CloseIcon />
    </IconButton>
    
    // ❌ Violation - blocks PR
    <IconButton>
      <CloseIcon />
    </IconButton>
    ```
    
    ### Custom Interactive Elements
    ```typescript
    // ✅ Required for non-button clickable elements
    <div 
      role="button" 
      tabIndex={0}
      onKeyDown={handleKeyDown}
      onClick={handleClick}
      aria-pressed={isActive}
    >
      Toggle
    </div>
    ```
    
    ### Images
    ```typescript
    // ✅ Meaningful images
    <img src="chart.png" alt="Q4 sales increased 25%" />
    
    // ✅ Decorative images
    <img src="decoration.png" alt="" role="presentation" />
    
    // ❌ Missing alt
    <img src="chart.png" />
    ```
    
    ### Form Fields
    ```typescript
    // ✅ Associated label
    <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
    <input id="email" type="email" />
    
    // ✅ Or aria-label
    <input aria-label="Search products" type="search" />
    ```
    
    ### Error Announcements
    ```typescript
    // ✅ Announce errors to screen readers
    <div role="alert" aria-live="polite">
      {error && <span>{error}</span>}
    </div>
    ```
    
    ### Focus Management
    ```typescript
    // ✅ Visible focus indicator
    :focus-visible {
      outline: 2px solid #0066cc;
      outline-offset: 2px;
    }
    
    // ❌ Never do this
    :focus {
      outline: none;
    }
    ```
    
    ### Modal Focus Trap
    ```typescript
    // ✅ Required for modals
    useEffect(() => {
      const modal = modalRef.current;
      const focusableElements = modal.querySelectorAll(
        'button, [href], input, select, textarea, [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])'
      );
      const firstElement = focusableElements[0];
      const lastElement = focusableElements[focusableElements.length - 1];
      
      firstElement?.focus();
      // Trap focus within modal
    }, [isOpen]);
    ```
    
    ### Keyboard Navigation
    ```typescript
    // ✅ Support keyboard
    onKeyDown={(e) => {
      if (e.key === 'Enter' || e.key === ' ') {
        handleAction();
      }
      if (e.key === 'Escape') {
        handleClose();
      }
    }}
    ```
    
    ## WCAG 2.2 New Requirements
    
    - **2.5.8 Target Size**: Minimum 24x24 CSS pixels
    - **2.4.12 Focus Not Obscured**: Focus indicator not hidden
    - **3.3.7 Redundant Entry**: Don't ask for same info twice
