- Minimal vocabulary variation

**Example**: `alt="Chart"`, `alt="Logo"`

#### Balanced (Default)
- Context-aware descriptions
- Moderate creativity
- Balance between simple and detailed

**Example**: `alt="Sales performance chart"`, `alt="Company logo"`

#### Creative
- Rich, detailed descriptions
- Emotional context integration
- High brand and context awareness

**Example**: `alt="Dynamic sales performance chart showing impressive 25% quarterly growth"`, `alt="Innovative technology company logo representing digital transformation"`

### Image Type Classification

- **Decorative Images**: Automatically detected and marked with `alt=""`
- **Functional Icons**: Described by their action (e.g., "Open chat", "Search")
- **Data Visualizations**: Include chart type, trends, and key data points
- **Complex Images**: Short alt + recommendation for detailed description
- **Logos**: Include brand name and "logo" keyword
- **Content Images**: Context-aware descriptions based on surrounding content

### Quality Checks

- ℹ️ **Info Level**: Optimization suggestions, consistency checks

## 📋 Programmatic Usage

### Basic Usage

```javascript
const { AccessibilityFixer } = require('gbu-accessibility-package');

const fixer = new AccessibilityFixer({
  language: 'ja',
  backupFiles: true,
  dryRun: false
});

// Fix all accessibility issues
fixer.fixAllAccessibilityIssues('./src').then(results => {
  console.log('Accessibility fixes completed:', results);
});

// Fix specific issues
await fixer.fixEmptyAltAttributes('./src');
await fixer.fixFormLabels('./src');
await fixer.fixButtonNames('./src');
```

### Enhanced Alt Attribute Mode (Integrated)

```javascript
const { AccessibilityFixer } = require('gbu-accessibility-package');

// Use AccessibilityFixer with enhanced mode (integrated)
const fixer = new AccessibilityFixer({
  language: 'en',
  enhancedAltMode: true,
  altCreativity: 'creative',
  includeEmotions: true,
  strictAltChecking: true
});

await fixer.fixEmptyAltAttributes('./src');

// All enhanced features are now integrated in AccessibilityFixer
// No need to import separate classes
const results = await fixer.fixAllAccessibilityIssues('./src');
console.log('Accessibility fixes completed with enhanced features:', results);

// New: Check for unused files
await fixer.checkUnusedFiles('./src');

// New: Check for dead code
await fixer.checkDeadCode('./src');

// New: Check file sizes
await fixer.checkFileSizes('./src');
```
