+Automated WCAG 2.2 AAA accessibility audit for Driftwood via AT-SPI.
+
+Launches the app, waits for it to register on the accessibility bus,
+then walks the entire widget tree checking for violations at A, AA, and AAA
+levels:
+
+  Level A:
+  - SC 1.1.1: Images with no name and no decorative marking
+  - SC 1.3.1: Headings missing a level property
+  - SC 2.1.1: Interactive widgets not keyboard-focusable
+  - SC 4.1.2: Interactive widgets with no accessible name
+
+  Level AA:
+  - SC 2.5.8: Target size below 24x24px minimum
+  - SC 4.1.2: Progress bars / spinners without labels
+
+  Level AAA:
+  - SC 2.1.3: All interactive widgets must be keyboard accessible (no traps)
+  - SC 2.4.8: Window must have a meaningful title (location)
+  - SC 2.4.9: Link purpose from link text alone
+  - SC 2.4.10: Section headings exist in content regions
+  - SC 2.5.5: Target size 44x44px (AAA level)
+  - SC 3.2.5: Change on request - no auto-refresh detection
+  - SC 3.3.9: Accessible authentication - no cognitive function tests
+
+  Structural / informational:
+  - Live regions (alert/status/log/timer roles) inventory
+  - Keyboard focus traversal test across all views
+  - Tab order validation (focusable widgets reachable)
+
+Usage:
+    python3 tools/a11y-audit.py [--no-launch] [--level aa|aaa] [--verbose]
+
+    --no-launch   Attach to an already-running Driftwood instance
+    --level       Minimum conformance level to check (default: aaa)
+    --verbose     Show informational messages and live region inventory
