#Why it matters

Placeholder anchors and `javascript:` URLs break expectations for links, harm accessibility, and often hide ad-hoc click handlers that should be buttons instead.

#Remediation

Point `href` at a real URL or in-page fragment, use a native button for actions, or add an explicit widget role with keyboard support when mimicking controls.

#Repository path

The generated metadata points to critiq-rules/libs/rules/catalog/rules/typescript/ts.react.no-invalid-anchor-href.rule.yaml.
