Integration Test: Full Bottom Nav Accessibility
epic-navigation-and-gesture-accessibility-ui-components-task-018 — Write integration tests for AccessibleBottomNavBar covering: all five tabs are reachable without swipe gestures, tab selection updates route and announces screen name, notification badge count is included in Semantics label, active tab announces 'selected', and AccessibilityAuditRunner passes full WCAG 2.2 AA audit on the nav bar semantic tree.

Implementation Notes
This is an integration test not a unit widget test — set it up in the integration_test/ directory using flutter_test's IntegrationTestWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized(). Build a complete minimal app fixture with GoRouter (5 routes, stub screens) and ProviderScope. Tab traversal without swipe is the key requirement: use tester.tap(find.byKey(tabKey)) for each tab, never tester.drag(). The 'selected' announcement requirement maps to Flutter's NavigationBar semantics behavior — ensure AccessibleBottomNavBar sets selected: true on the active NavigationDestination or equivalent and that the Semantics.label includes 'selected'.
For the notification badge Semantics label test, override notificationCountProvider to return 3 and assert the full label string. Keep screen stubs minimal (just a Text widget per screen) to avoid test complexity. Run this test in CI using `flutter test integration_test/` with no physical device requirement.
Testing Requirements
Use flutter_test integration test infrastructure (not patrol or another third-party framework unless already in use). Set up a full app with GoRouter and ProviderScope with all required Riverpod overrides (notification count, auth, etc.). Iterate through all 5 tabs: tap each, pump, assert route, assert Semantics. For notification badge, inject count = 3 via ProviderScope override and assert the Notifications tab label contains '3'.
For active state, after tapping each tab assert that tab's Semantics includes 'selected' and the others do not. Run AccessibilityAuditRunner.audit(tester) once after the full nav is stable. Ensure no real Supabase/BankID/Vipps calls occur by overriding all remote providers.
Flutter's ModalBottomSheet and showDialog do not automatically confine VoiceOver or TalkBack focus to the modal's subtree on all platform versions. Background content may remain reachable by screen readers, confusing users and violating WCAG 2.2 criterion 1.3.1.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Wrap modal content in an ExcludeSemantics or BlockSemantics widget for background content. Use a Semantics node with liveRegion on the modal container and manually request focus via FocusScope after the modal animation completes. Test on both iOS (VoiceOver) and Android (TalkBack) during widget development.
Contingency: If platform-level focus trapping is unreliable, implement a custom modal wrapper widget that uses a FocusTrap widget (available in Flutter's internal tooling) and an Overlay entry with semantics blocking on the dimmed background layer.
On iOS, the system-level swipe-back gesture (UINavigationController) can bypass PopScope and GoRouter's gesture suppression, meaning users can still accidentally dismiss screens via swipe even after the component is implemented. This breaks the gesture-free contract for motor-impaired users.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Set popGestureEnabled: false in GoRouter route configurations where swipe-back is suppressed. Test specifically against Flutter's CupertinoPageRoute, which respects this flag, and verify that GoRouter generates Cupertino routes on iOS rather than Material routes with gesture enabled.
Contingency: If go_router's popGestureEnabled flag does not propagate correctly, wrap affected routes in a WillPopScope replacement (PopScope with canPop: false) and file a bug with the go_router maintainers. Document the workaround in the navigation-route-config component for future maintainers.
The feature description implies migrating all existing ModalBottomSheet and dialog call sites across the app to use the new accessible helpers, which is a cross-cutting change. Scope underestimation could mean the epic finishes the new components but leaves many call sites un-migrated, leaving the accessibility promise partially broken.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Audit all existing modal call sites at the start of the epic (grep for showModalBottomSheet, showDialog, showCupertinoDialog) and add the count to the task list. Treat migration as explicit tasks, not an implied post-step.
Contingency: If migration scope grows beyond the epic's estimate, create a follow-up tech-debt epic scoped only to call-site migration, and gate the release on at minimum all flows used by the accessibility user-story acceptance criteria being migrated.
