feat: add the ARIA role-table rules and report marquee/blink - #536
Conversation
…ndant-role, fix the compiler table
…nd qualify the div/span overlap
…ttle the remaining figures
…and report marquee/blink The projection now carries the dataset's element-level naming prohibition and the per-condition implicit-role outcomes, so an implicit judgment is made only when it holds under every role the element could have. deprecated-element reports all 29 obsolete elements: excluding the two the compiler also warns on left the score blind to them, against the a11y category's deliberate-overlap decision.
…pin suppression end to end
…-flagged line, and tidy the override

32-32: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winUse durable wording for the compiler-exception list.
The compatibility set can change when the vendored ARIA data or compiler data changes. “Ten (role, attribute) pairs” can then become stale. Replace the count with wording such as “The compiler-compatibility pairs include...” and keep the exact set in the executable test.
Based on learnings: “avoid hard-coding counts of extensible entities” and use durable wording instead.

- Line 24: In the Japanese documentation sentence beginning with 「検出しないもの」,
replace the inaccurate phrase 「role ごとの腕」 with the precise term 「role ごとのケース」,
leaving the surrounding explanation unchanged.
In `@docs/src/content/docs/rules/a11y/deprecated-attr.md`:
- Line 18: Update the documentation sentence describing a11y/deprecated-element
reports to state that only a deprecated attribute on an element triggers a
finding, while preserving the existing examples and behavior about one finding
per element and skipping obsolete elements by name.
In `@docs/src/content/docs/rules/a11y/deprecated-element.md`:
- Line 24: Remove hard-coded entity counts from the affected documentation while
preserving the concrete examples and intended meaning: in

29” with durable wording; in

Roadmap Phase C-9, second increment: the ARIA role-table rules the vendored spec data (#534) made buildable, plus one correction to
deprecated-elementthat the same review surfaced.Design:
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-19-aria-role-table-rules.md.What ships
a11y/disallowed-aria-props(warning). Anaria-*attribute the element's role prohibits — most oftenaria-labelon a bare<div>/<span>, which does not take a name — or does not own. Measured first: on five real apps the prohibited-name case is nine of the ten hits, and the Svelte compiler is silent on it (<div aria-label="x">compiles clean; axe reports it asaria-prohibited-attr). That single case is what makes the rule worth shipping.a11y/deprecated-aria(info).role="directory",aria-dropeffect/aria-grabbed, and an attribute deprecated on its role —aria-haspopuponcheckbox,aria-disabledongeneric. The two arms with one entry each fold into this rule rather than getting ids of their own.Not built:
redundant-role. Zero in the corpus, and the compiler'sa11y_no_redundant_rolescovers it completely with deliberate exemptions (<ul role="list">becauselist-style: nonestrips list semantics). A rule here would have to copy those exemptions verbatim to avoid contradicting the compiler on its most likely hit — duplication with no measured payoff, recorded so it is not re-litigated.The device that keeps the implicit path sound
Thirteen elements have implicit roles that depend on context —
<a>islinkonly withhref,<img alt="">ispresentation,<input>is whatever itstypesays. The dataset writes those as selectors; this rule never evaluates them. Instead the projection now carries each condition's outcome (role, or "no corresponding role"), and an implicit judgment is made only when it holds under the default and every outcome.<div aria-label>fires (generic everywhere);<a aria-label>,<img alt="" aria-label>,<input aria-checked>,<canvas aria-label>do not.The naming arm reads the dataset's own
namingProhibitedflag — the fact axe keys on — rather than inferring it from a role. That distinction was the design review's first blocker: an earlier draft treated "no corresponding role" asgenericand would have flagged<canvas aria-label>, which is in kener twice and is fine.Where the tables and the compiler disagree, the compiler wins
Two named exemption lists, each pinned by a test:
listitem/aria-level,listbox/aria-expanded, …). Warning there would be a different verdict on the same markup.<address>and<hgroup>, which the dataset marks as not taking a name while ARIA-in-HTML and axe give bothrole=group. The dataset is wrong; the rules follow the spec.The
deprecated-elementcorrection#534 excluded
<marquee>/<blink>because the compiler reports them. That misread "the compiler wins": it forbids a different verdict on the same markup, not a second reporter of the same one — the a11y category's deliberate-overlap decision (invalid-rolebesidea11y_unknown_role) already settles that. Excluding two of 29 obsolete elements left the score blind to them while it counted<font>. Reversed here, before either rule is released, so a correction rather than a contract change.Anchoring
Every finding from both rules sits at the element's start tag, not the attribute's line — the convention #534's review established for
deprecated-attr, for the same reason:disable-next-linesuppresses directive-line + 1, no comment fits inside a start tag, so an attribute-line anchor on a multi-line element is a documented lever with no position that works. This PR reintroduced that defect and caught it before review; a unit case and a kitchen-sink e2e case on a multi-line start tag pin it for both rules.Review trail
Six design rounds and one implementation round of adversarial review. What they caught before shipping: the "no role → generic" misreading;
redundant-rolecontradicting a deliberate compiler exemption; a compiler-overlap table that was wrong for role-deprecated properties;<address>/<hgroup>false positives by construction; the naming arm listing an attribute text roles own; the<hgroup>exemption defeated by a second arm; the attribute-line anchor above.Verification

Corpus re-run with the shipped rules:disallowed-aria-propssvelte-commerce 7 + networking-toolbox 1,deprecated-arianetworking-toolbox 1, all real; the design probe's ninth hit was<div aria-level={level} {...restProps}>, correctly left unjudged because a spread can supply the role.Summary by CodeRabbit
