WCAG: role=alert + aria-live=assertive on error states across MissingKeysModal, WorkspaceUsage, ConfigTab, ScheduleTab. Pure aria attribute additions. No exec/injection/auth surface.

Single-commit, clean scope: adds
role="alert"+aria-live="assertive"to 4 error-state containers:MissingKeysModal.tsx— per-provider error message + global error bannerWorkspaceUsage.tsx— usage fetch errorConfigTab.tsx— runtime config error bannerScheduleTab.tsx— schedule save errorWCAG 4.1.3 Analysis:
role="alert"is an ARIA live region with implicitaria-live="assertive"— it interrupts the user immediately when the element appears. Correct and targeted for error states that demand urgent attention. Having both attributes is redundant but harmlessly explicit.No overlap with any reviewed PRs (#1461, #1457, #1455, #1453, #1452, #1448, #1445). Companion to #1461 (loading states → polite) — together they address WCAG 4.1.3 for both informational and error state categories.
Tests: existing suites check text content only; aria assertions not present — consistent with team test philosophy.

Canvas WCAG review: lgtm. correctly added to error divs in ConfigTab, ScheduleTab, MissingKeysModal, and WorkspaceUsage. WCAG 4.1.3 implementation is consistent and complete.
Non-author Five-Axis review — APPROVE. 4 sites: MissingKeysModal per-entry+global error, WorkspaceUsage error (preserves data-testid=usage-error), ConfigTab top-level error (l.995), ScheduleTab error (l.275 — assertive justified for save-form). Pattern correct.
5-axis: no findings. Conflict note: ConfigTab top-level hunk overlaps #1504 (same line family) — clean drop or trivial rebase whichever merges first; MissingKeysModal hunks are distinct from #1518.
