Statement
Forms shall render as valid, accessible HTML without JavaScript. A noscript message shall inform users that JavaScript is required for submission. Native HTML constraints (required, type, minlength) shall provide first-line validation before client-side vanilla JS enhancement.
Rationale
Progressive enhancement per §16. Forms are accessible without JS even though submission requires it. Native constraints provide immediate feedback without waiting for JS init. Delivered by WP-C8 (D-C8-16).
