“Accessibility-first screen reader prediction” is not a solution, folks.
Parsing a DOM and building your _own_ accTree to then *emulate* how desktop screen readers _might_ announce a page as if *maybe* using read-all just ends up putting more burden on human testers.
Never mind missing the bugs, features, heuristics, and more built into a DOM parser and screen reader engine.
Unless your goal is satisfy a dashboard while removing humans from your #accessibility testing.
