AI coding assistants can generate UI components in seconds, but they frequently hallucinate complex W3C ARIA states. To an LLM, adding an invalid aria-hidden tag is just a text string; to an enterprise, it is a broken screen reader and a potential ADA compliance lawsuit. AI assumes no legal liability for this, passing the risk entirely to the developer. SpecFirst bridges the gap between AI speed and enterprise compliance. It is an end-to-end, 8-phase zero-trust pipeline that sits between the AI assistant and the codebase. Instead of relying on the AI to "guess" at accessibility, our Phase 3 "Sentinel" Trust Gate deterministically validates the AI’s intent against a strict 7-layer rulebook. If the AI attempts to use a mixed-interactive popup or violates a manual review boundary, the pipeline automatically blocks the code. Designed for enterprise quality engineering teams, SpecFirst guarantees that no code is patched without an immutable audit trail. By forcing AI to abide by mathematically verifiable rules rather than probabilistic guessing, SpecFirst ensures safe, legally defensible, and fully accessible web infrastructure.
