Color-only wiring/circuit instructions (accessibility)
The V2.0 accessibility audit flagged color-only instructions in some wiring/circuit explanations — e.g. "connect the red wire to 5V and the black wire to ground" or diagrams that distinguish components by color alone. This fails WCAG 1.4.1 (Use of Color): users with color vision deficiency (or grayscale/printed copies) can't follow them.
Unlike the mechanical sweep in #110 (iframe title=, video aria-label, image alt), this needs content edits and isn't auto-detectable, so it's tracked separately.
What to do
- Audit wiring instructions and circuit diagrams for color-only cues.
- Add a redundant non-color cue: pin/row labels, position ("top rail"), shape, or text annotations alongside color.
- Prefer phrasing like "the red (positive) wire to 5V" so color is supplementary, not the sole signal.
Likely worst offenders (from the audit): electronics, cpx, sensors wiring sections. Needs a manual pass.
