  "title": "Characterizing Visual Accessibility Issues in AI Developer Tools: An Empirical Study",
  "summary": "AI-assisted developer tools increasingly mediate programming through chat panels, terminal agents, generated diffs, and streaming status output. These interaction surfaces may create visual accessibility barriers for blind, low-vision, and color-vision-deficient developers, yet little is known about how such barriers are reported in public tool ecosystems. We analyze issues and forum discussions from five AI developer tool ecosystems: GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex,",
