## Current authority checked

[WHATWG HTML](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/) and
[W3C WCAG 2.2](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) checked 2026-10-02. The older books
provide design reasoning, not current browser support or legal advice. This
first implementation does not claim full WCAG conformance or human usability
validation. Keep those distinct from automated tests.

## Completion rule

Advance a source's coverage only after the agent actually reads the bounded
passage or inspects the spread. Add source → reasoning → adaptation → test.
Record contrary examples and edition-era assumptions, not just confirming quotes.
Retain original book files privately; MIT covers our original work, not them.
