📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds one-shot priority navigation with active-control restoration. Toasts gain keyboard navigation, accessible labels, focus handling, and hover-based timer control. Toast providers and models expose pause and resume operations. New toast announcements include localized severity text, messages, and limited navigation hints. Announcements without a focused item now target the main window.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 260d4

The PR adds keyboard navigation, timer pausing, and announcements for toasts, but the current head still has concrete accessibility failures that can omit navigation guidance or lose keyboard focus, plus a trace-build null-dereference risk. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

the control saved before priority navigation began. Update
restoreLastActiveControl to restore only when the saved control belongs to an
