Accessibility #

It exposes group, button and status semantics, with aria-label, aria-hidden, aria-pressed and aria-roledescription kept in step with state. Changes that matter are announced through a live region.

Motion #

Transitions use the shared duration and easing tokens. Under prefers-reduced-motion those tokens collapse to instant and travel distances go to zero, so state changes still happen without movement.
