Summary

Completes Issue #669 (Mermaid Accessibility Compliance) by adding missing accTitle and accDescr accessibility attributes to all 7 non-compliant Mermaid diagrams identified in the audit, achieving 100% compliance (24/24 diagrams).

Also implements review suggestions for validation scripts to improve robustness and cross-platform compatibility.

Changes

Accessibility Attributes Added:

  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/README.md — Issue template workflow diagram
  • .github/projects/README.md — Reports directory structure diagram
  • .github/README.md — 4 diagrams (ecosystem architecture, automation workflow, repository structure, integration flow)
  • .vscode/README.md — VS Code workspace configuration diagram

Validation Script Improvements:

  • scripts/validation/validate-mermaid-accessibility.js:

    • Support Windows line endings (\r?\n pattern)
    • Improved getDiagramType() to skip comments and find first non-comment line
    • Fixed accDescr block closing check to match exactly on }
  • scripts/validation/validate-mermaid-syntax.js:

    • Same cross-platform line ending support
    • Same diagram type detection improvements
    • Added parenthesis validation for comprehensive syntax checking

Build Automation:

  • Added validate:mermaid-accessibility npm script
  • Added validate:mermaid-syntax npm script
  • Regenerated accessibility report showing 100% compliance

WCAG 2.2 AA Compliance

All 24 diagrams now include:

  • accTitle: Concise, descriptive title for screen readers
  • accDescr: Detailed block-format description of diagram purpose and relationships

Test Plan

  • All 24 diagrams pass accessibility validation (100% compliance)
  • Validate syntax with npm run validate:mermaid-syntax
  • Check accessibility compliance with npm run validate:mermaid-accessibility
  • Verify frontmatter compliance with npm run validate:frontmatter
  • Review comments resolved with improved validation scripts

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR delivers a comprehensive Mermaid diagram validation and accessibility audit system. It introduces two Node.js validation scripts that discover and analyse all Mermaid diagrams across repository READMEs, generates four detailed audit reports documenting findings, and updates diagram annotations in three README files to meet accessibility compliance standards.

Changes

Mermaid Diagram Validation & Accessibility Audit

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mermaid Syntax Validation Script
scripts/validation/validate-mermaid-syntax.js
Discovers README files, extracts Mermaid code blocks, performs syntax validation (empty content, diagram type detection, brace/bracket balance, accDescr block closure), and writes a markdown validation audit report with summary metrics.
Mermaid Accessibility Validation Script
scripts/validation/validate-mermaid-accessibility.js
Scans diagrams for accessibility compliance by checking accTitle and accDescr presence and closure, aggregates compliance data, and writes both a markdown accessibility report and CSV spreadsheet documenting per-diagram findings.
Audit Reports & Discovery Documentation
.github/reports/mermaid-validation-report.md, .github/reports/mermaid-accessibility-report.md, .github/reports/mermaid-diagram-audit.md, .github/reports/wave-5-4-readme-discovery-audit.md
Four comprehensive audit documents: syntax validation report (24 diagrams, 100% valid), accessibility compliance report (7 non-compliant diagrams identified), diagram audit inventory (catalogued by file and type), and Wave 5.4 discovery audit (8 high-priority files listed with diagram counts and follow-up actions).
README Diagram Accessibility Updates
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/README.md, .github/projects/README.md, .vscode/README.md
Updates Mermaid diagram accessibility annotations (accTitle and accDescr) in issue template workflow, projects directory structure, and VS Code configuration architecture diagrams to meet compliance standards.

Code Review

This pull request introduces Mermaid diagram validation and accessibility compliance auditing by adding new reporting files, audit spreadsheets, and two Node.js validation scripts (validate-mermaid-accessibility.js and validate-mermaid-syntax.js). It also updates several README files to include accessibility attributes (accTitle and accDescr) in their Mermaid diagrams. The review feedback focuses on improving the robustness of the validation scripts, including supporting Windows-style line endings (\r\n), making the accDescr block closing check more precise, refining diagram type detection to avoid false positives from comments or node text, and adding checks for mismatched parentheses.

Checking line.includes("}") to close the accDescr block is fragile. If a line inside the description block contains a } character, or if the block is unclosed but a subsequent flowchart node contains a } (e.g., B{Decision}), the block will be considered closed prematurely, and the validator will fail to detect the unclosed block.

Since the closing brace of a multi-line accDescr block in Mermaid is placed on its own line, we should check if the trimmed line is exactly "}".

In addition to braces and brackets, Mermaid diagrams (especially flowcharts) frequently use parentheses () for round nodes (e.g., A(Round Node)). Adding a check for mismatched parentheses would make the syntax validation more comprehensive.

  const closeBrackets = (cleanContent.match(/]/g) || []).length;

The regular expression /```mermaid\n/ expects a Unix-style newline (\n). If any README files use Windows-style line endings (\r\n), the Mermaid diagrams in those files will not be detected.

We should make the newline check optional for \r to ensure cross-platform compatibility.

The getDiagramType function uses multiline regular expressions to scan the entire diagram content. This can lead to false positives if a diagram type keyword (like graph or flowchart) appears inside a comment (e.g., %% flowchart diagram) or within node text.

Instead, we should find the first non-empty, non-comment line and extract the diagram type from it.

function getDiagramType(content) {
  const lines = content.split("\n");
  for (const line of lines) {
    const trimmed = line.trim();

P1 Badge Complete the accessibility fix for all scanned diagrams

The added accessibility validator still scans .github/README.md, and after this patch node scripts/validation/validate-mermaid-accessibility.js exits 1 because the four Mermaid diagrams in that file still have no accTitle/accDescr. This means the change does not achieve the advertised 100% compliance and any CI or maintainer running the new validator will still fail until those remaining diagrams are updated or the scan scope is intentionally narrowed.

P2 Badge Wire the new Mermaid validators into npm scripts

The commit adds validate-mermaid-accessibility.js and validate-mermaid-syntax.js, but package.json still has no validate:mermaid-accessibility or validate:mermaid-syntax entries, so the documented/test-plan commands npm run validate:mermaid-* fail with “Missing script”. Add the scripts to package.json or update the documented invocation so contributors and CI can run these validators consistently.

Fix Mermaid block: it currently includes Markdown prose, so the diagram may fail to render (and the new accTitle/accDescr won’t get applied).
The ```mermaid fence starts at line 41 and isn’t closed until line 107, but lines like **\active/`** - Current Active Projects`, the bullet list, and the “File Naming Convention” section are regular Markdown inside the Mermaid code block—those aren’t valid Mermaid statements. Close the Mermaid fence before the prose (keep only Mermaid syntax inside the fence).

search for the alternate totals referenced in the comment (52-53, 198-199,
274-275) and replace those mismatched numbers with values derived from the
single canonical calculation to ensure the audit math is consistent end-to-end.

In `@scripts/validation/validate-mermaid-accessibility.js`:
- Around line 190-197: The compliance-rate calculation can produce NaN when
report.totalDiagrams is 0; change the inline expression to compute a guarded
value first (e.g., const complianceRate = report.totalDiagrams ?
(report.accessibleDiagrams / report.totalDiagrams) * 100 : 0) and then use
complianceRate.toFixed(1) + '%' in the console.log and file-write spots where
the current expression appears (the print at the shown block using
report.totalDiagrams/report.accessibleDiagrams and the second occurrence around
lines 241-244); update both occurrences to use the same guarded variable to
avoid NaN.

In `@scripts/validation/validate-mermaid-syntax.js`:
- Around line 193-200: The success-rate computation can produce NaN when
report.totalDiagrams is 0; before formatting the percentage in the console log
(the lines that reference report.totalDiagrams / report.validDiagrams and the
similar block at the other occurrence), compute a guarded value like const
successRate = report.totalDiagrams ? (report.validDiagrams /
report.totalDiagrams) * 100 : 0 and use successRate.toFixed(1) for display, and
apply the same guard for any other percentage calculations around the
console/logging code that reference report.totalDiagrams, report.validDiagrams,
or report.errorDiagrams.

Outside diff comments:
In @.github/projects/README.md:
- Around line 41-107: The Mermaid code block currently contains non-Mermaid
Markdown (prose and lists) which breaks rendering; close the ```mermaid fence
immediately after the valid Mermaid diagram (the graph with nodes like accTitle,
accDescr, A[📂 .github/reports], B[🤖 Agents], etc.) and move the prose (the
**`active/`**/`completed/` sections and "File Naming Convention" paragraph)
outside that fenced block so the diagram only includes proper Mermaid syntax and
the accTitle/accDescr nodes are applied correctly.

- Fix Mermaid fence in .github/projects/README.md: close fence after valid diagram, move prose outside
- Add NaN guards to both validation scripts (successRate/complianceRate calculations)
- Replace **tests** with __tests__ in mermaid-validation-report.md paths
- Reconcile README inventory counts: fix inconsistent totals (57 vs 52 vs 44)
  - Update inventory header from '52 files' to '57 files'
  - Update 'No action needed' count from 44 to 49 files

https://claude.ai/code/session_01EbzWFAdwUYXyZYkFpF1KYs
Replace heuristic brace-counting with real Mermaid grammar validation using mmdc
- Add Mermaid CLI (mmdc) for actual syntax parsing
- Keep fallback to heuristic checks if CLI unavailable
- Detect non-Mermaid content in fenced blocks (like markdown prose)
- Proper error reporting for syntax violations

This fixes the issue where non-Mermaid content could be marked valid.

- Add proper YAML frontmatter with title, description, file_type, version, dates
- Update last_updated dates to 2026-05-31
- Reorder fields for consistency (title, description, file_type, version, dates, authors)
- Add created_date field for historical context
- Standardize domain, tags, stability, license fields

.github-level files updated:
- .github/agents/README.md: Update frontmatter, remove broken project artifact link
- .github/instructions/README.md: Update frontmatter, remove broken project artifact link

All 12 Phase 2 files now have consistent, up-to-date frontmatter following CLAUDE.md standards.

Pull request overview

This PR targets Mermaid WCAG compliance by adding missing accTitle/accDescr attributes to non-compliant diagrams across repo READMEs, and introduces validation tooling (syntax, accessibility, README link checks) plus generated audit artefacts to support ongoing enforcement.

Changes:

  • Updated Mermaid diagrams in multiple README files to include accessibility attributes (accTitle, accDescr).
  • Added new Node validation scripts (Mermaid accessibility/syntax + README link checking) and exposed them via package.json scripts.
  • Added Mermaid audit artefacts/reports and an Issue #670 task tracker document.
