No Dead Zones on Controls

Checkboxes and radios share hit target with labels

Bad

Good

Why it matters

Small checkboxes and radio buttons are hard to click. Make the entire label clickable by properly associating it with the input. This creates a much larger, more forgiving hit target and improves usability.

The rules come from other people's skills and guidelines — Vercel, Rauno Freiberg, @Ibelick, impeccable, Emil Kowalski, Tailwind, RAMS — each one credited on the Sources page. The work here is extraction and wiring: every rule is pulled into one corpus, given a good and a bad example you can operate, a MUST/SHOULD/NEVER rule an agent can paste, and a link back to where it came from.
