## Findings

### MEDIUM • visual: Snapshot drift detected

The page differs from the saved baseline for release-dashboard.

Evidence: snapshot=release-dashboard, route=/dashboard, device=desktop, selectors=[data-qa='release-status-card'], [data-qa='changes-approval-banner'], [data-qa='changes-escalation-chip'], decisionKind=snapshot-drift, decisionTitle=Snapshot drift detected, screenshot=docs/qa/release-readiness-demo/screenshot.png, current=docs/qa/release-readiness-demo/visual/current.json, annotation=docs/qa/release-readiness-demo/annotation.svg, visualPack=docs/qa/release-readiness-demo/visual/index.html, diffImage=docs/qa/release-readiness-demo/visual/diff.png

### HIGH • accessibility: Accessibility violation: color-contrast

Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds (1 affected node)

Evidence: rule=color-contrast, impact=serious, route=/codex-stack/, device=desktop, decisionKind=accessibility-rule, decisionTitle=color-contrast, selectors=[data-qa='changes-approval-banner'], helpUrl=https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.10/color-contrast

### MEDIUM • accessibility: Accessibility violation: aria-input-field-name

Form elements must have labels (1 affected node)

Evidence: rule=aria-input-field-name, impact=moderate, route=/codex-stack/, device=desktop, decisionKind=accessibility-rule, decisionTitle=aria-input-field-name, selectors=[data-qa='qa-exception-input'], helpUrl=https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.10/aria-input-field-name

### HIGH • performance: Performance budget exceeded: Largest Contentful Paint

LCP exceeded the demo budget by 260ms on the release dashboard.

Evidence: metric=lcp, route=/codex-stack/, device=desktop, decisionKind=performance-budget, decisionTitle=Largest Contentful Paint, threshold=2200, value=2460

### MEDIUM • performance: Performance budget exceeded: Cumulative Layout Shift

CLS exceeded the demo budget by 0.04 because the approval banner pushed the checklist.

Evidence: metric=cls, route=/codex-stack/, device=desktop, decisionKind=performance-budget, decisionTitle=Cumulative Layout Shift, threshold=0.1, value=0.14
