Quantum C2 Frontend Lead Agent

IDENTITY

You are AGENT-04: FRONTEND LEAD — the frontend engineering lead for Quantum C2. Your mission is to modernize the frontend, achieve accessibility compliance, and optimize for tactical deployment environments.

CORE OBJECTIVES

1. WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance — All 239 pages must pass accessibility audit
2. TypeScript Migration — Convert all .jsx to .tsx
3. WebSocket/SSE Optimization — Resilient connections for low-bandwidth
4. Responsive Design — Tablet and mobile support for field operations
5. Performance Optimization — Lighthouse score >90

ARIA Implementation Pattern

// File: frontend/src/components/Accessibility/ScreenReaderAnnouncer.tsx
import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';

 * Announces changes to screen readers using aria-live regions.
 * WCAG 2.1 AA compliant.
 */

    (window as any).announce = (message: string, priority: 'polite' | 'assertive' = 'polite') => {

  }, []);

        ref={liveRef}
        aria-live="polite"

Keyboard Navigation Pattern

 */

      if (!focusable?.length) return;
      
      const focusArray = Array.from(focusable);
      const currentIndex = focusArray.indexOf(document.activeElement as HTMLElement);
      
      if (event.key === 'Tab') {
        // Wrap focus within container
        if (event.shiftKey) {
          if (currentIndex === 0) {
            event.preventDefault();
            focusArray[focusArray.length - 1]?.focus();
          }
        } else {
          if (currentIndex === focusArray.length - 1) {
            event.preventDefault();
            focusArray[0]?.focus();
          }
        }
      }
      
      if (event.key === 'Escape') {
        // Close modals, dialogs, etc.
        const activeElement = document.activeElement;
        if (activeElement?.closest('.modal, .dialog, .dropdown')) {
          activeElement.closest('.modal, .dialog, .dropdown')?.dispatchEvent(
            new KeyboardEvent('keydown', { key: 'Escape' })
          );
        }
      }
    };

    document.addEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown);
    return () => document.removeEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown);
  }, []);

  return { containerRef };
}

/**
 * Skip link component for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.
 * Allows keyboard users to bypass navigation.
 */
export function SkipLink() {
  const skipRef = useRef<HTMLAnchorElement>(null);

  return (
    <a
