Accessibility

  • WCAG 1.4.13, all three requirements: dismissable (Esc hides it), hoverable (an invisible bridge lets the pointer reach it), persistent (stays until hover/focus ends).
  • Attached via aria-describedby; appears on focus as well as hover.
  • Text only, and never the sole place information lives. Interactive content goes in a Popover.
