+ * Regression test for https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CMP-10172.
+ *
+ * The a11y root container (`cmp_a11y_root`) was created with `position: absolute` but never
+ * given a width or height, leaving it as a 0×0 element in the DOM. Because hit-test-based
+ * accessibility tools (Apple Accessibility Inspector, Appium) walk down from the parent's
+ * bounding rect, they could not reach any Compose semantic node. VoiceOver was unaffected
+ * because it traverses the DOM tree sequentially, which masked the bug.
