Practical accessibility patterns for React and Next.js. Covers the issues most commonly flagged in code review: missing form labels, incorrect ARIA usage, non-semantic interactive elements, and broken keyboard navigation.

Every interactive element must be reachable and operable by keyboard alone. Focus must move logically when UI state changes — especially for modals and route transitions.
