Single-user v1 — no AusTender, no Stripe
Clerk uses publishableKeyFromHost(hostname, fallback) so dev test key works

Targets WCAG 2.1 AA. See artifacts/tenderai/docs/accessibility.md.
Skip link, semantic landmarks, focus-on-route, aria-current nav are in AppShell.tsx (and landing.tsx).
Global tokens: --muted-foreground raised to 215 25% 35% for AA contrast; global :focus-visible ring; prefers-reduced-motion honoured (see src/index.css).
Form pattern: every <Label> is htmlFor-bound; required fields use aria-required + aria-invalid. Profile Field injects an id via cloneElement.
Icon-only buttons carry aria-label; decorative lucide-react icons get aria-hidden="true".
Toaster passes type="foreground" for destructive variants (assertive announcements) and "background" otherwise.
Viewport allows zoom (no maximum-scale).
