Accessibility
Built to meet WCAG 2.0 AA. These notes cover the key ARIA, keyboard, and interaction behaviours.
- Panel uses role="listbox" with aria-multiselectable="true"
- Trigger is a div with role="button" (not <button>) since chip dismiss buttons nest inside it
- Arrow keys navigate options; Enter/Space toggles; Escape closes; Tab dismisses
- Each chip's dismiss button is independently focusable and keyboard-operable
