What it checks
The viewport meta tag: present, and not blocking zoom with user-scalable=no or maximum-scale below 2.
Why it matters
Without a viewport tag phones render a tiny desktop page; blocking zoom stops low-vision users from enlarging text.
Recommended fix
Use <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> and never disable zoom.
How to verify
Open the site on a phone, confirm it fits the screen and that pinch-zoom works.
Example fix prompt
Generic prompt (your report adds the evidence)
Please fix this production issue in my app.
Issue A11Y-006: No mobile viewport, or zoom is disabled
Site: https://your-app.example
First confirm the issue in the code or live config. If it is not present, say so and change nothing.
Task: Set the viewport meta tag to exactly `width=device-width, initial-scale=1` in the root layout or index.html, removing user-scalable=no and maximum-scale if present.
Constraints: make the smallest change that fixes this, keep the current design and behaviour, never paste secret values into code or chat, and tell me which files you changed.
Done when: Open the site on a phone, confirm it fits the screen and that pinch-zoom works.
