 ## Tasks
 
 - [x] T046 Wire all components together in `frontend/src/app/page.tsx` — integrate HeaderInput, FileDropZone, AnalysisControls, AnalyseButton, ProgressIndicator, ReportContainer, CaptchaChallenge into the single-view application with correct data flow. Ensure: input feeds to analysis hook, progress hook drives progress indicator, result feeds to report container, 429 errors trigger CAPTCHA modal, cache hook restores state on mount. Notes: added AnalysisControls + CAPTCHA retry flow, extended analysis hook for bypass token handling, confirmed cache restore.
-- [ ] T047 Verify WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across all components (NFR-03) — ARIA labels, keyboard nav order, focus indicators, colour contrast ratios (dark theme). Fix violations. Test with screen reader simulation. Ensure all interactive elements have visible focus states
+- [x] T047 Verify WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across all components (NFR-03) — ARIA labels, keyboard nav order, focus indicators, colour contrast ratios (dark theme). Fix violations. Test with screen reader simulation. Ensure all interactive elements have visible focus states. Notes: added keyboard-accessible file picker with ARIA descriptions, focus-visible outlines on drop zone/summary/search fields, boosted low-contrast text from 40% to 60%, linked CAPTCHA dialog description, added file picker tests; ran `npx vitest run src/__tests__/FileDropZone.test.tsx`.
 - [ ] T048 [P] Verify responsive layout 320px–2560px (NFR-04) at breakpoints: 320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px, 2560px. No horizontal scroll, no overlapping elements, readable text. Fix any layout issues discovered
 - [ ] T049 [P] Run full linting pass — `ruff check backend/` and `ruff format backend/` zero errors; `npx eslint src/` and `npx prettier --check src/` zero errors; no `any` types in TypeScript. Fix all violations
 - [ ] T050 [P] Run full test suites and verify coverage — `pytest backend/tests/ --cov` ≥80% new modules (NFR-06); `npx vitest run --coverage` ≥80% new components (NFR-07). Add missing tests if coverage is below threshold
