RE: WCAG 1.4.4 and resolution/DPI

Ah, I had taken resolution as meaning the density of the pixels in the display, I see what you mean.

Indeed, the procedure from reflow is more specific about this now, example here:
https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag/tech-flexbox-reflow/techniques/css/C31.html

Technically if there is way of getting text to be twice as large (or from a different starting point, twice as small!), it can pass Resize Text. However, in practice if you want it to be 'normal' on desktop and mobile, the text size will vary by at least 200% between those screen sizes.

The ways to fail would be to fix the size to the viewport, or use media queries to vary the size with the viewport. E.g:
