+## 2026-07-16 - Replace Symbolic Text with Screen-Reader-Friendly Text in CLI
+**Learning:** For complex command-line selection interfaces or overlays using Ink, while concise microcopy saves horizontal space, do NOT replace descriptive navigation words (like 'Up/Down', 'Enter') with purely symbolic text (e.g., `↑↓`, `⏎`). Screen readers in CLI environments rely on raw text output and fail to announce these symbols properly, causing an accessibility regression.
+**Action:** Use visually concise but screen-reader-friendly text.
