Summary

Side-content iframes now have a title so screen-reader and keyboard users can tell the frame from the splitter (audit A9, WCAG 4.1.2 / 2.4.1).

Closes #27.

Changes

P4 strings: markdown and external URLs are Reference; /sim/ is Simulation. The title is set when the iframe is created, before src.

The Wave 0 characterization test now asserts that contract. Axe excludes these iframes, so the baseline is unchanged.

Also records A3 as closed (PR #37) on the issue map.

Test plan

  • npm test (A9 characterization asserts P4 titles)
  • Confirm unit and axe PR checks stay green (axe floor should not change)
  • Manual: split markdown, /sim/, and an external URL each show the matching iframe title

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Side-content iframes now receive Simulation titles for /sim paths and Reference titles for markdown and external content. The A9 accessibility test verifies these titles. The accessibility resolution plan records A3 as closed through PR #37 and identifies A9 as the next Wave 1 task.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Verify the actual title cases.

These assertions inspect source text, but they do not verify the behavior for /sim, /sim/..., markdown, or external URLs. A future change can misclassify an input and still pass if the matching text appears elsewhere in the function. Add executable cases, or bind the route predicate directly to the iframe.title assignment and cover all four content cases.
