* Speak AT-SPI2 on the accessibility bus from the display, over Vega's own D-Buseunhhu2026-09-281-0/+85
vega display --access joins the accessibility bus as AT-SPI2 objects for screen readers such as Orca, with no toolkit, ATK or libdbus: dbus.c speaks the D-Bus wire format (EXTERNAL authentication, headers, aligned bodies, calls, replies, signals). The tree follows what the say surface says: a heading, a label per field, a list box per list whose items know their place and which is selected and focused, tables, the entry, the keys as buttons; answers come from the app when asked, one object has the focus, and focus moves are said as events. Assistive technology can act too: Selection focuses a row, Action presses a key. The live loop now draws only when something changed, so a screen reader's questions no longer cost frames. The check walks the tree with gdbus on a private session bus with at-spi-bus-launcher, and follows the focus through keys, Selection, Action and the events.
