Description

Accessibility APIs require applications to raise events when the UI state changes, or in some cases, when UI elements are added or removed. AccessKit should imply as many of these events as possible from tree updates, to make it as easy as possible to implement accessibility correctly and completely. But some events will need to be raised directly by toolkits.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how tree updates and accessibility events are represented in AccessKit, then determine which events can be inferred and which toolkits must raise directly. Done requires an agreed design for covering UI state changes and element additions or removals.
