Description

It'd be great to consider a new type of report for a11y issues. There's a handful of things that could probably be detected and reported like autoplaying videos with prefers-reduced-motion, contrast issues, CSS animations when prefers-reduced-motion is set, maybe some common ARIA issues?

Would definitely need some deeper thought into if it would only report "high confidence" issues like poor contrast, or assume that if the developer is opting-in to it, the UA could be more aggressive in reporting all potential issues with enough context for the developer to know which/if any are intentional. (IE - some animations are acceptable with prefers-reduced-motion)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by defining which accessibility conditions should be reported and how confidence or developer intent would be represented, then review the existing Reporting API design for the extension point. Done means the scope and reporting behavior are specified well enough to implement and test.
