The charter had accessibility only in the assistive sense — keyboard, contrast, colour, targets — and said nothing about who can get through the door in the first place. That was the larger omission. The premise of an OSS CAD tool is that a kid on a school laptop, with no licence, no account, no fast machine and nobody to teach them, can open it and make a real thing; a tool that only the equipped can run reaches people who were already going to design something. So the fourteen-year-old is now the FIRST of three audiences, ahead of the maker and the mechanical designer, with an explicit rule that when audiences conflict the earlier one wins unless someone writes down why not. L11 states the floor: runs completely on a low-end laptop with integrated graphics at 1366x768, offline, no account, and no capability withheld behind a tier, a plugin or a cloud service. Section 6 splits into 6.1 reach and 6.2 the assistive floor: the reference machine, the small screen as the layout target rather than the stretch case, files that belong to the user, learnable with no documentation, plain language at the entry tier, and exploration that is never punished — undo reaches everything, nothing asks the user to be sure. Consequences elsewhere: the screen budget is set by the smallest screen we serve, not the reviewer's monitor; the PR gate gains a reach question; B6 joins the benchmark (the inner loop on the reference machine, offline, fresh install) and every task is measured there rather than on a workstation. The side-panel debt now fails L11 as well as L1 — on that screen the cards leave the model a strip. One role addition: the absent audience needs a seat. The kid cannot file an issue, so someone owns B5/B6 and the group watches real first-timers quarterly. Approachability is the one thing here that cannot be argued from principle. snaporca-2is.
