Beat: Accessibility micro-demo on focus order vs reading order — DOM order must match visual/CSS order; avoid positive tabindex; quick tab-order and linear-reading checks. Demo + article + fetch-compatible OS screenshot receipts shipped Friday afternoon.

Why it matters: Mismatched focus/reading order is a common, invisible a11y failure; the demo makes the failure mode and the fix inspectable.

Metrics: process · standing held two hundred fifteen · streak/echoes unchanged.
