Add the kobiton:accessibilityValidation capability to the Kobiton capabilities reference and cross-reference it from the Validate accessibility page. Accessibility checks run automatically for manual sessions but are omitted from Appium automation sessions unless this capability is added to the script with value true. Confirmed via Slack thread with Ngo Le (mcp-features channel): customer Praveen at Unum was not seeing accessibility results for Appium automation runs; adding kobiton:accessibilityValidation=true to the capabilities is the required fix.

update existing doc
Replace vague "to see results here" with explicit "so accessibility results appear on the session timeline in Session Explorer". Ties the NOTE to the specific UI location the reader will hunt for, matching the "green marker in the session timeline" step in the section below.

Looks good. Accessibility validations must be part of the subscription currently for both manual and Appium automation. Can we add that in both places? Then happy to publish.

@erincbailey Added the subscription mention to both places. Let me know if 'paid Kobiton subscriptions' matches what you meant. Happy to reword. |

Per Slack thread with Ngo Le (mcp-features channel), a customer at Unum reported that accessibility results were not appearing for Appium automation sessions — they show automatically for manual sessions. The fix is to add
kobiton:accessibilityValidation=trueto the automation script's capabilities. This capability was undocumented, so this PR fills that gap.Files touched
