Closes DOCS-1233 ## I have read the [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) file. YES ## What kind of change does this PR introduce? Test coverage. The docs accessibility check now covers the full WCAG 2.1 A/AA rule set instead of two rules. **Note:** This PR tests _only_ the main article of changed pages (meaning, the content itself). A follow-up Linear issue is to address scanning the pieces outside of that: header, navigation, and interactive elements. ## What is the current behavior? The `@a11y` test in `e2e/docs` runs two axe rules against each in-scope page, `heading-order` and `page-has-heading-one`. Both already pass everywhere, so the check only guards a result we have. Nothing else in WCAG A/AA is checked. ## What is the new behavior? The same test runs the full WCAG 2.1 A/AA rule set. - **Existing debt does not block PRs.** Only the two heading rules fail. Everything else reports. - **The check stays fast.** It scans the article only and skips nine rules that cannot fire there. Scan time drops from 2405ms to 981ms. - **Findings belong to us.** Legacy mode excludes cross-origin frames. YouTube embeds were counting against us, 11 of 15 violations on one page. - **A pass carries meaning.** A 404 reports as a load failure, not an a11y bug. A page scanned before it hydrates warns instead of quietly reporting clean. ## How the findings appear The test is named `has no blocking accessibility violations`, so a failure listed by CI is always something to fix. It is not named for the full rule set, because a green check would then claim more than the check verifies. | | Rules | Where you see it | | --- | --- | --- | | Blocking | `heading-order`, `page-has-heading-one` | Test failure, so the runner reports it on the PR | | Reported | Everything else in WCAG A/AA | `::warning` annotation on the run | An annotation looks like this, on a run that still passes: ``` ::warning title=Accessibility::/docs/guides/database/functions has 1 non-blocking accessibility finding(s): frame-title (4) ``` The full axe result for each page is attached to the report as `axe-results.json`. ## Matching the Studio ratchet This follows the ESLint ratchet in `apps/studio`. That pattern warns on pre-existing debt rather than blocking on it, surfaces findings as annotations rather than PR comments, and promotes a rule to an error once its violations reach zero. The mechanism here is `ENFORCED_RULES` in `utils/axe-helpers.ts`. The two heading rules are on it because the heading-hierarchy work drove them to zero site-wide. The intent is to migrate rules into that list one at a time. Pick a rule, fix its violations, then move it into `ENFORCED_RULES` so it cannot come back. An exhaustive scan of the site groups the current backlog by root cause to sequence that work, and two fixes cover 99.1% of it. Studio keeps per-file baseline counts, which this does not. A whole-rule list is coarser, and it works here because docs violations reach zero across the site rather than per file. ## Manual testing Install the browser once, then run each step from the repo root. Every command scans production, so you do not need a local docs server. ```bash pnpm -C e2e/docs exec playwright install chromium ``` 1. Confirm a reported finding does not fail the check. ```bash DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/database/functions PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs:a11y ``` Expect `1 passed`, and the `::warning` annotation above in the output. 2. Confirm the scan finds that violation. Same page, now failing on every rule. ```bash A11Y_ENFORCE_ALL=1 DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/database/functions PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs:a11y ``` Expect `1 failed`, reporting `frame-title (serious, 4 node(s))`. Steps 1 and 2 together are the point of this PR. 3. Confirm the skipped rules stay skipped. ```bash A11Y_ENFORCE_ALL=1 DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nextjs PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs:a11y ``` Expect `button-name (critical, 2 node(s))` and `label (critical, 2 node(s))`, and no `color-contrast`. 4. Confirm a page that does not load reports a load failure. ```bash DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/does-not-exist-xyz PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs:a11y ``` Expect `Expected a successful response for /docs/guides/does-not-exist-xyz, got 404`, and no axe assertion. 5. Confirm the link checker still passes alongside the a11y test. ```bash DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/auth/passwords PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs ``` Expect `3 passed`. ## Known gaps - `/docs/reference/*` is not scanned. Those routes render client-side into tens of thousands of elements, where axe exceeds its timeout and results depend on whether the scan caught the page mid-render. - Shared chrome is outside the article scope, so nav, sidebar, footer, menus, and drawers are not covered. - axe catches roughly 30-40% of WCAG issues. Keyboard navigation, focus management, and screen reader behavior still need manual testing. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Maintainers
If you are a maintainer of any tools in the Supabase ecosystem, you can use this site to provide documentation for the tools & libraries that you maintain.
DocSpec
We use documentation specifications which can be used to generate human-readable docs.
- OpenAPI: for documenting API endpoints.
- SDKSpec (custom to Supabase): for SDKs and client libraries.
- ConfigSpec (custom to Supabase): for configuration options.
- CLISpec (custom to Supabase): for CLI commands and usage.
The benefit of using custom specifications is that we can generate many other types from a strict schema (eg, HTML and manpages). It also means that we can switch to any documentation system we want. On this site we use Next.js, but on Supabase's official website, we use a custom React site and expose only a subset of the available API for each tool.
