Four email fields that now autofill, found by a sweep of 1,328 pages

A sweep of 1,328 venture pages for common accessibility slips found four email inputs that did not autofill. Everything else was clean.

An exploratory sweep of all 1,328 venture pages looked for accessibility and usability slips that no existing check covers: positive tabindex, iframes without a title, empty links, autofocus, zoom-blocking viewports, target="_blank" links without noopener, <label for> pointing at nothing, and email or phone inputs without autocomplete.

Almost everything was clean. The three empty buttons are filled by script, and the one new-tab link uses rel="noreferrer", which implies noopener. Four email inputs, the user's own business email in the bookkeeper invoice form, the publish kit, the EPK generator and the media kit generator, had no autocomplete="email". They have it now, so a browser can fill them in (WCAG 1.3.5).

A tiny fix, but the sweep result is the useful part: those checks do not need building again.
