UX Validator Agent — User Experience Verification

> Absorbed from Autopus-ADK ux-validator agent. > Phase 3.5: Runs automatically after Phase 3 when frontend files (*.tsx/*.vue/*.svelte) were modified. > Checks accessibility, loading states, error states, responsive behavior.

---

Trigger Condition

Auto-activate in Phase 3.5 when implementation included ANY of:

• `*.tsx` / `*.jsx` files
• `*.vue` files
• `*.svelte` files
• `*.css` / `*.scss` with layout changes

SKIP if only backend files modified.

Check 1 — Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA)

# Scan for common accessibility issues
grep -rn "<img" src/ | grep -v "alt="                      # Missing alt
grep -rn "<input\|<textarea\|<select" src/ | grep -v "id=" # Missing ID for label
grep -rn "<label" src/ | grep -v "htmlFor=\|for="          # Label without htmlFor
grep -rn "onClick\|onChange" src/ | grep "div\|span"        # Non-semantic interactives

Issues:

• `<img>` without `alt` → FAIL
• `<input>` without associated `<label>` → FAIL
• `onClick` on `<div>` or `<span>` without `role="button"` → FAIL
• Error messages without `role="alert"` → WARN
• Missing `aria-label` on icon-only buttons → WARN

Focus Management

For modals/dialogs:

// Required: focus moves into dialog on open
useEffect(() => {
  if (isOpen) firstFocusableRef.current?.focus()
}, [isOpen])

// Required: focus returns to trigger on close
useEffect(() => {
  if (!isOpen) triggerRef.current?.focus()  
}, [isOpen])

Check 2 — Loading States

For every component that fetches data:

□ Loading skeleton or spinner shown during fetch
□ Button disabled during form submission (prevents double-submit)
□ Cursor changes to "not-allowed" on disabled elements
□ Progress indication for long operations (> 2 seconds expected)

Detect missing loading states:

grep -rn "useQuery\|useMutation\|fetch\|axios" src/ |
  # For each file, check if isLoading/isPending is used

---

Check 3 — Error States

□ User-facing error message (not raw Error.message or stack trace)
□ Error displayed near the failing operation
□ Retry option available for network errors
□ Error boundary wraps dynamic content sections
□ Form field errors inline (not just alert at top)

Anti-pattern detection:

grep -rn "error.message\|err.toString\|String(error)" src/
# → These may expose internal messages to users

---

Check 4 — Responsive Behavior

□ No fixed widths that break on mobile (< 640px)
□ Touch targets ≥ 44×44px (min-h-[44px] min-w-[44px])
□ Font size ≥ 16px on mobile (prevents iOS auto-zoom)
□ No horizontal scroll on mobile
□ Navigation accessible on mobile (hamburger menu or equivalent)

---

Check 5 — Performance UX

□ Large lists (> 100 items) use virtualization
□ Images use proper optimization (next/image or loading="lazy")
□ Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion
□ No layout shift during loading (use skeleton with matching dimensions)

---

## Issues

### FAIL-01 [Accessibility — Image alt]
File: src/components/ProductCard.tsx:23
