## 1. Global Keyboard Navigation & Shortcuts

LeadPilot is fully operable without a mouse. Standard operational hotkeys are globally registered:

```

| `Cmd + K` / `Ctrl + K` | Opens Global Quick Search modal                          |
| `N`                    | Opens Quick Lead Creation modal                          |
| `F`                    | Opens Follow-up Quick Scheduler on active lead           |

## 2. Visual Contrast & Readability Invariants
* **Body & Text Contrast:** All body text maintains a minimum contrast ratio of **4.5:1** against the background.
* **Badges & Temperature Chips:** High-contrast color combinations (e.g. Dark Red text on Light Red background) ensuring score legibility for color-blind users.
* **Focus Indicators:** Explicit, high-visibility 2px focus rings (`focus:ring-2 focus:ring-indigo-600 focus:outline-none`) on all interactive controls.

## 3. Screen Reader & Semantic Structure
* **Dynamic Content Announcements:** AI scoring updates, async CSV progress, and attention dismissal trigger `aria-live="polite"` regions.
* **Modal Trapping:** All modals and slide-overs trap keyboard focus within the dialog container and restore focus to the triggering element upon dismissal.
* **Accessible Drag-and-Drop:** In addition to mouse dragging on the Kanban board, each lead card provides an explicit dropdown menu (`[Move to Stage: ...]`) accessible via keyboard.
