Question
An AI agent built this modal dialog component. It opens and closes correctly with the mouse and looks right. A keyboard-only and a screen-reader user file complaints in the same week. Find the accessibility defects.
function Modal({ open, onClose, title, children }) { if (!open) return null; return ( <div className="overlay" onClick={onClose}> <div className="modal" onClick={(e) => e.stopPropagation()}> <h2>{title}</h2> {children} <button onClick={onClose}>Close</button> </div> </div> );}What a strong answer looks like
Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it — tests, edge cases, reading critically — and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.
Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
