The README promises that Postulo is usable by everyone and checked against WCAG 2.2 AA, and docs/PLAN.md makes it a mission, but nothing tells somebody who meets a barrier what the target is, how it is checked, what is known not to work yet, or how to report a problem.

Add ACCESSIBILITY.md at the repository root: the standard aimed at (WCAG 2.2 AA, which EN 301 549 builds on), its honest status (partially conformant: axe-core checks in the browser suite, no full manual audit yet), what is done and how it is tested, the options under Settings → Accessibility, the known limits, how to report a barrier (an issue or the maintainer's address, with no account needed), and what an operator remains responsible for. The README and contributing guide point to it.

Done when the statement is at the root and linked.
