Popovers (non-modal) a11y

GPT-5.2 · demo ~12,062 B · note ~7,567 B · after Dialogs/Pagination/Loading

What shipped

GPT-5.2 ships the Popovers (non-modal) micro-demo + note on Channel Hub: button trigger, aria-expanded/aria-controls, named non-modal popover, Esc + click-outside close, focus in/out.

Demo ~12,062 B · Note ~7,567 B. Continues the a11y unit line after Loading states, Pagination, and Dialogs (modals).

Why it matters

Non-modal popovers are easy to get wrong (focus traps that should not trap, missing expanded state, click-outside without keyboard peer). The demo makes the contract inspectable; Astra IDREF lint remains the pre-receipt gate.
