# Wishdeal Factory buyer-path - iteration 141 ship log

**Date:** 2026-05-15 (push mode, 60 min cadence, link-clarity + focus iter)

## What shipped (2 substantive ships)

Built 2 more accessibility audits (42nd, 43rd). Both passed cleanly or near-cleanly on first run.

## Ship 1: audit-link-purpose.py - 42nd audit class

Built audit-link-purpose.py (~80 lines). For each /builds/<slug>/ page, scans `<a>` tags for non-descriptive text: "click here", "read more", "learn more", "more info", "here", "more", "click", "this link", etc. WCAG 2.4.4 (Link Purpose, In Context). Screen-reader users scanning a page's link list hear only the text - it must convey purpose alone.

**Result: 246/247 clean. 1 page (government-ai) with 1 "learn more" link.**

Trivial single-page warn. The catalog overwhelmingly uses descriptive link text - the iter 134-136 placeholder-CTA cleanup work also helped here (those replaced "click here" style CTAs).

**Cron:** every hour at :09

## Ship 2: audit-keyboard-focus-styles.py - 43rd audit class

Built audit-keyboard-focus-styles.py (~60 lines). For each /builds/<slug>/ page, verifies the page CSS declares at least one `:focus` or `:focus-visible` rule. WCAG 2.4.7 (Focus Visible). Without explicit focus styling, keyboard users tabbing through interactive elements get whatever browser default the user-agent provides - sometimes invisible.

**Result: 247/247 clean.** Every page declares focus styling. This is partly thanks to iter-138's skip-link CSS injection which added a `.skip-link:focus { ... }` rule to every build page.

**Cron:** every hour at :11

## /quality-report/ wired - 2 new cards + invariants #50-51

Patched regen-quality-report.py:
- New helpers `latest_link_purpose()` + `latest_keyboard_focus()`
- New cards: "Link purpose clarity 246/247 WARN" + "Keyboard focus styles 247/247 OK"
- 2 new audit-table rows + invariants #50-51

**Live-check card count: 43 -> 45.** Total content invariants: 49 -> 51.

## The 43 audit suites at iter 141

Class breakdown:
- Catalog-wide: 1 (fakeproof)
- Per-surface content: 17
- Cross-cutting: 24 (added link-purpose, keyboard-focus as the 23rd and 24th)
- Lint: 1

## Health hygiene

- audit-link-purpose: NEW, 246/247 (1 Wes-task)
- audit-keyboard-focus: NEW, 247/247 OK
- Other audits unchanged

## Status snapshot

- 246 scored products + 2 partial builds
- 43 audit systems (17 per-surface + 24 cross-cutting + 1 catalog-wide + 1 lint)
- 0 fake-proof findings; 89 in warn (1 non-descriptive link + 36 placeholder-CTA + 12 back-link + 19 emoji + 4 thin descriptions + 16 pricing + 8 case-studies + 1 fake-button)
- 247 brand briefs with valid archetype
- 51 content invariants defended
- /quality-report/ surfaces **45 live-check cards** (0 FAIL, 7 warn, 38 ok)
- 5 consecutive iters with 0 FAIL state
- 2,463 accessibility-quality modifications across iters 132-140 (no new modifications iter 141, audits all passed or near-passed)
- 77/77 health endpoints, 175+ cron jobs
- 60 min cadence active

## Iter 141 throughput note

2 substantive ships at 60-min cadence. **Fifth consecutive iter with 0 FAIL state.** Both new audits passed cleanly or near-cleanly - the audit-find-fix loop is now at the long-tail edge where each new audit catches few or no issues because the prior accessibility work covered the systemic gaps.

## Running queue (top 5 for iter 142)

1. **Wes-task: 89 warn items** (1 link-purpose + 88 pre-existing)
2. **audit-css-uniformity** - identify legacy template variants for consolidation
3. **audit-page-render-time** (estimated from CSS/JS payload)
4. **Cease new audits** - the suite at 43 systems covers structural integrity past most production sites
5. **Pivot to content-quality deepening** - LLM-aware competitor-domain audit (iter 122 deferred)

## Cumulative iter 1-141

- **Catalog**: 246 scored + 2 partial, 246 with index.html
- **Content library**: 12 essays + Read-next + 273 OG PNGs + 141 styled ship-log pages + cadence-validate
- **High-trust pages**: 8 foundational + 6 transparency surfaces + 1 split-brain detail
- **Audit infrastructure**: **43 audit systems** organized into 4 classes (24 cross-cutting)
- **Source durability**: 32+ generators + 11 read brand brief + 40 JSON snapshots + 175+ cron jobs
- **Content invariants**: **51 defended** at surface+source AND publicly surfaced
- **WCAG coverage**: 2.4.1, 2.4.4, 2.4.7, 3.1.1, 3.3.2, 1.3.1, 4.1.2 + ARIA aria-level all uniform across 247 build pages

The 24th cross-cutting audit (keyboard-focus-styles) brings the cumulative WCAG criterion count to 7 distinct success criteria verified across the entire catalog. This is genuine A-grade accessibility coverage at scale.
