forge-a11y-checker vs Forge A11y Studio

a11y is automation/checker utilities; fa-acc-leo is the full CDP+axe Electron Studio (forge-accessibility). fa-acc-vika is an optional second clone of the same remote.

The collision

User says "a11y" or "forge-accessibility" — agent edits checker scripts when Studio UI is intended, or confuses fa (forge-autodoc) with accessibility repos.

How to choose

1) Checker utilities, bp/ks submodule repo, batch automation? → a11y (forge-a11y-checker). 2) Studio UI, a11y-transcript CLI, CDP audits, Electron? → fa-acc-leo default. 3) User said vika4ka? → fa-acc-vika path explicitly. 4) Handbook HTML builder? → fa inside ks — unrelated to accessibility products.

Using several at once

Both may use cdp manager and ks design patterns; only Studio is the interactive product for auditors.

Terms covered

Examples from chat / plan.md

"Run axe on staging in the Studio" → fa-acc-leo, port 8765 collision awareness with cockpit 9775.
