# T01: Demoted nav brand to span, promoted page headings to h1, added skip-to-content link, and raised muted text contrast to AA compliance

**Demoted nav brand to span, promoted page headings to h1, added skip-to-content link, and raised muted text contrast to AA compliance**

## What Happened

Applied three accessibility fixes across 9 files: (1) Fixed heading hierarchy by demoting nav h1 to span and promoting h2→h1 on all page components, added sr-only h1 to SearchResults, fixed h3→h2 level skips in Home.tsx. (2) Added skip-to-content link with keyboard-focusable skip-link pattern. (3) Changed --color-text-muted from #6b6b7a to #828291 for AA contrast compliance.

## Verification

TypeScript compilation (tsc --noEmit) and production build (npm run build) both pass with exit code 0. Verified each page has exactly one h1, skip-link and main-content id are present in App.tsx, and muted color token is updated.

## Verification Evidence

| # | Command | Exit Code | Verdict | Duration |
|---|---------|-----------|---------|----------|
| 1 | `cd frontend && npx tsc --noEmit` | 0 | ✅ pass | 2600ms |
| 2 | `cd frontend && npm run build` | 0 | ✅ pass | 3100ms |
