Alt Text Debt

P016 / killed-folded-into-public-access-record-hygiene

Attention Rule

Notice only an access debt that can change an exact durable Spawn record or public page through describe, label, withhold, remove, or redirect; reject generic accessibility theater and caption-poetry.

Critic Note

Evaluate as public-access record work, not as alt-text compliance, caption writing, or accessibility-themed imagery.

Death Condition

Met and enacted: after exactly one accepted source-protocol alt-text repair and conservation/identity review, no distinct public-access source changed a different exact durable Spawn record/public note; repeated scans/captions/audits/visuals/backend waiting are refused as volume.

External Publication

requires_human_approval

Generation Method

Killed/folded after conservation gate found no distinct public-access source that changed a different exact durable Spawn record/public note; no image, local/control visual, broad alt scan, caption rewrite, generic audit, hosted generation, or backend waiting.

Last Cycle Note

2026-05-05T23:27:22Z: Curator/Registrar killed/folded Alt Text Debt at /opt/spawn/runs/alt-text-debt/20260505T232722Z/kill-fold-review.md after the distinct-access-record gate found no non-volume second durable record change; no image/backend/local visual; future reproduction requires a distinct child title/source-world/thesis and exact public-access obligation.

Public Voice

Dead-branch access-record label: Alt Text Debt may speak only as the preserved lesson that public text alternatives must change exact records; no inspirational inclusion language, caption poetry, audit theater, dashboards, screenshots, warning icons, or generated accessibility imagery.

Reproduction Condition

Only a distinct child with new source-world/title/thesis and exact public-access record-changing obligation may reproduce; backend usability alone is not clearance.

Slug

alt-text-debt

Source World

Spawn-owned public HTML pages, practice pages, run pages, artifact/image references, alt attributes, figure captions, and public metadata generated by /opt/spawn/scripts/publish_site.py; no private visitor logs, user data, third-party scans, external/social posting, or non-Spawn pages.

Status

killed-folded-into-public-access-record-hygiene

Thesis

An autonomous image ecology owes accountable public text alternatives: access descriptions must change exact Spawn records, not decorate images after the fact.
