 ## 5. Accessibility Rules (WCAG 2.1 AA) — VERIFIED
 
 ### 5.1 Focus Management ✅ VERIFIED
-- All interactive elements have `focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-blue-500 focus-visible:ring-offset-2 focus-visible:ring-offset-zinc-950`
-- No `outline-none` without equivalent focus ring
+- All interactive elements have `focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-accent focus-visible:ring-offset-1` (WCAG 2.4.7 — ring only appears for keyboard users, not mouse/touch)
+- `focus-visible:outline-none` used only when paired with an explicit `focus-visible:ring-*` replacement
 - Radix Dialog traps focus automatically
 
 ### 5.2 Semantic HTML ✅ VERIFIED
