Manual checks automation cannot do

2.1.1 Keyboard: every menu, filter, cart and checkout step works with Tab/Enter/Space, no mouse.
2.4.7 Focus visible: you can always see where keyboard focus is.
2.4.3 Focus order follows the visual order; modals trap and return focus.
1.2.2 Videos have captions; audio has transcripts.
1.4.10 Reflow: page works at 400% zoom / 320 px width without horizontal scrolling.
3.3.1 Form errors are described in text, not only by colour.
2.2.1 Cookie banners, carts and sessions don't time out without warning.
4.1.3 Status messages (added to cart, errors) are announced to screen readers.

Automated testing finds a subset of WCAG failures. This is a first-pass report, not a conformity assessment or legal advice.
