Notes [#notes]

Accessibility [#accessibility]

termcn exposes the following behavior through Ink's terminal accessibility APIs. This is not a browser ARIA or general WCAG-conformance claim.

* **Keyboard:** `Tab` / `Shift+Tab` move through enabled controls inside the active scope; `Enter` / `Space` activate the focused control; `Escape` closes only the topmost active surface and restores focus.
* **Focus and composition:** While open, the active focus scope contains traversal, gives input ownership to the topmost scope, and restores focus when it closes.
* **Screen reader:** Ink labels and semantic state expose the component without relying on visual styling alone.
