Headings & lists
WCAG 1.3.1 · 2.4.6 · AAUTOMATICGUARDEDDECISION QUEUE
What the rule requires
Headings and lists are how a screen-reader user skims: jump by heading, count list items. That only works when the hierarchy is real — no skipped levels, and lists tagged as lists rather than lines that start with a dash.
How Proof clears it
Hierarchy repaired automatically: no H1→H3 jumps, lists rebuilt with proper structure, roles mapped correctly.
Guarded repair: structural fixes are re-checked by the rule engine, with a live before/after diff inside the apply.
A reviewer rescues real headings mis-tagged as page furniture — a meaning judgment Proof deliberately doesn’t guess.
What to expect
Whether a big bold line is a heading or decoration is a judgment about meaning. Proof surfaces the candidates with evidence and lets a person decide, instead of guessing wrong at scale.
