Two leftovers from the Phase B-4 review record (#511): Priority 2 row 20 and the Priority 3 message row that the docs sweep deliberately deferred, since it needs a new field on a fact type rather than prose.

A text fragment is not an id reference

href="#:~:text=hello%20world" is a shipped web-platform feature: everything after :~: instructs the user agent to find text, and names no element. a11y/no-missing-id-ref read it as an id reference and reported it missing — and printed the percent-decoded form, so the message told the reader to look for #:~:text=hello world, a string that appears nowhere in their source.

Exempt now in both modes, beside the existing #top exemption, via one shared isTextFragment helper so the CLI and the plugin cannot diverge. Verified against a scratch project:

href="#:~:text=hello%20world"  → silent
href="#missing"                → href="#missing" references a missing id

This narrows detection.

The nesting finding did not say which element it meant

<button> is nested inside interactive <div> is unactionable on a page with many divs — and it was the role that made that div a container. InteractiveNestingFact gains an optional containerRole, set only when the role is what opened the container:

markup message
<div role="button"><button> <button> is nested inside interactive <div role="button">
<div role="checkbox switch"><a href> … inside interactive <div role="checkbox"> — the resolved role, not the first token
<a href><button> <button> is nested inside interactive <a> — unchanged, the tag is the reason

Verification

pnpm build, pnpm typecheck, pnpm test (core 1539 / cli 1213 / vite 253 / kitchen-sink 16 — no expectation moved), pnpm lint, translate:check clean. Three regression tests: the role-carrying fact, the tag-only fact, and the rendered-mode text fragment.

Still open from the review

The two severity questions are maintainer calls and stay open: whether a11y/require-datetime should be info (its basis is HTML conformance, not a WCAG criterion) and whether a11y/doctype should be (its evidence is the weakest of the fifteen, and project scope makes it the most expensive single a11y finding). Two smaller Priority 2 items also remain: accepting the literal undefined for aria-* boolean/tristate values, where the spec and Svelte's own compiler disagree, and uppercase ARIA attribute names being invisible to the collector.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@oekazuma, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 14 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR excludes text-fragment URLs from missing-ID checks and adds applicable container roles to interactive-nesting diagnostics. It updates shared parsing logic, CLI and Vite integrations, documentation, tests, exports, and package changesets.

Changes

Accessibility rule updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Text-fragment reference filtering
packages/core/src/a11y.ts, packages/core/src/internal.ts, packages/cli/..., packages/vite/..., packages/*/test/*, docs/..., .changeset/...
The new isTextFragment helper identifies :~: directives. CLI and Vite parsers exclude these directives from ID references while retaining ordinary fragments. Documentation and tests cover the exemption.
Interactive container role reporting
packages/core/src/component.ts, packages/core/src/component-parse.ts, packages/core/src/rules/a11y/interactive-nesting.ts, packages/core/test/component-parse.test.ts
Interactive-nesting facts now include applicable literal container roles. Diagnostics report the role when present and omit redundant native roles. Tests cover multi-role containers and native interactive elements.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 38d1e

The PR improves text-fragment handling and nesting diagnostics, but the current implementation can still misclassify combined fragments, regress the existing #top exemption, and name the wrong resolved role in fallback lists. These issues may produce false or misleading accessibility findings and should be fixed before merge.

text fragments and the existing top fragment by applying isTopFragment alongside
isTextFragment, preserving href="`#top`" as an exemption. Restore or retain the
isTopFragment import, and make the same change in the corresponding rendered

In `@packages/core/src/a11y.ts`:
- Around line 134-136: Update isTextFragment in packages/core/src/a11y.ts at
lines 134-136 to split fragments at the first :~: and expose the element prefix
for validation rather than checking only startsWith(':~:'). In
packages/vite/src/providers/rendered/parse-html.ts at lines 123-127, decode and
validate only that prefix while ignoring the directive suffix. Add coverage in
packages/vite/test/parse-html.test.ts at lines 245-248 for `#section`:~:text=...

Apply the same fix in `@packages/vite/test/parse-html.test.ts` around lines 245 -

In `@packages/core/src/component-parse.ts`:
- Around line 1159-1163: The containerRoleOf function currently reports the
first literal role token instead of the resolved role. Update it to pass
splitTokens(role) through resolveRole and return the resolved value, preserving
undefined when no role is present, and add a regression test for a fallback such
as role="future-role button" that verifies button is reported.
