Summary

This update transforms the Parametric Engine from a purely visual experience into an inclusive, keyboard-operable mathematical tool. By establishing Semantic Parallelism, we have ensured that the 3D data is accessible to assistive technologies without compromising the high-performance WebGL render.

New Features

  • The Geometry Narrator: A hidden live-region that describes the current shape, complexity, and engine stability for non-visual users.
  • Warp Commands: Power-user shortcuts to jump between the Formula Editor, 3D View, and Interface controls instantly.
  • Tactile Rotation: Use Arrow Keys to rotate the 3D surface with mathematical precision when the canvas is focused.

Cross-Browser Validated Accessibility Compliance

  • WCAG 2.1 Level AA: Satisfies Success Criteria for Keyboard (2.1.1), Focus Visible (2.4.7), and Name, Role, Value (4.1.2). (note: formal compliance validation not yet completed)
    Cross-Browser Verified: Playwright-validated behavior across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit (Safari). (note: testing completed)

note: new features will remain under feature flag until the current set of 0.5.X changes are completed.
