## 2026-07-22 - Screen Reader Friendly Navigation Hints
**Learning:** Screen readers in CLI environments (like Ink) rely on raw text output and often fail to announce symbolic characters (e.g., up/down arrows, return symbol) properly, causing accessibility regressions.
**Action:** Use visually concise but screen-reader-friendly descriptive text (e.g., 'Up/Down', 'Enter') instead of symbols for keyboard navigation hints.
