2424identified a foundational requirement that determines whether any BiModal Design
2525optimization can succeed: ** Initial Payload Accessibility (FR-1)** . Most AI

2727execution—they only see the initial HTML response from the server. Without
2828content in that initial payload, even perfectly structured semantic markup, ARIA
