Keyboard walk
Is anything on this page a keyboard trap?
A keyboard trap is invisible until somebody is stuck in it, and it never shows up in a static reading because it is a fact about what happens when you press Tab. This is a recording rather than a scan: it walks the page, logs each stop with the faults found there, and the whole point is that the log survives the walk.

What this actually is
walk every interactive element and log what trapsOn anything with a modal, a custom widget, or an embedded third-party frame. It is also the check nobody runs before shipping a cookie banner, which is where a large share of real traps live.
Asked about this diagnostic
4 of themWhy does this one not have a Run again button?
Because it is a recording rather than a reading. Re-running would stop the walk and throw away every stop it had logged, which is the opposite of what the button appears to offer.
What counts as a trap?
A stop from which Tab does not move on - focus stays where it is or returns to the same element. Modals and embedded players are where they usually are.
Does it click anything?
No. It moves focus, which is what the keyboard does. Nothing is activated, so a walk cannot submit a form or trigger a purchase.
Why do the chip counts not match the rows on screen?
The rows are paged twenty at a time; the chips count the whole walk. A summary that only described the visible page would be useless for deciding whether to keep reading.
