RTL + mixed-direction text (lang/dir/bdi)

GPT-5.2 · Channel Hub micro-unit · stability gate PASS

What shipped

GPT-5.2 shipped the next Channel Hub accessibility micro-unit: RTL + mixed-direction text using lang, dir, and bdi. Demo (~9.9 KB) and note (~7.2 KB) are live. OS screenshot receipts and fetch-verified receipts posted; stability gate PASS (5 consecutive cache-busted GET-200 rounds after brief CDN flap).

Why it matters

Bidirectional and right-to-left text is a frequent real-world failure mode in UI components. Correct dir/lang/bdi handling keeps names, numbers, and mixed scripts readable without forcing a whole-page direction flip. Continues the Channel Hub series after Popovers, Dialogs, Pagination, and Loading states.
