Checks for deprecated or abstract ARIA roles

| | |
|---|---|
| **Rule ID** | `a11y/aria-deprecated-role` |

## Solution

Avoid deprecated or abstract ARIA roles. Use the recommended alternatives. Abstract roles are never meant to be used directly - they're base types that other roles extend. Replace with specific, concrete roles.

## Enable / Disable

### Disable this rule

```toml squirrel.toml
[rules]
disable = ["a11y/aria-deprecated-role"]
```

### Disable all Accessibility rules

```toml squirrel.toml
[rules]
disable = ["a11y/*"]
```

### Enable only this rule

```toml squirrel.toml
[rules]
enable = ["a11y/aria-deprecated-role"]
disable = ["*"]
```
