🧭 Reflow Risk (WCAG 1.4.10)

Page-level indicator: resizes to 320 CSS pixels wide and checks for horizontal overflow. This is a risk indicator, not a conformance verdict — see Behavioral Accessibility Automation for what it can and cannot detect.

✅ No horizontal overflow detected at 320px width on any scanned page!
