Replace narrative accessibility guidance with an MCP-oriented structure (minimum structure, model config, requirements, anti-patterns) so agents can implement accessible Dialogs without duplicating built-in behavior. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Consolidate model config and custom targets into Accessibility Requirements, add focus-management defaults with developer prompts, and dedupe overlapping guidance so codegen tools get a clearer happy path and conditional overrides. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Add conditional-path snippets, codegen summary, and default-focus guidance while preserving the existing requirements structure; align the minimum accessible example with the Basic story layout. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Restructure the accessibility section with built-in behaviors, DOM examples, developer requirements, and anti-patterns so assistive technology wiring is clearer for form fields and grouped controls. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Align FormField accessibility docs with the Dialog pattern: add minimum structure, do-not-duplicate guardrails, keyboard/screen reader expectations, codegen-friendly requirements table, and fix FormFieldGroup usage to match role="group" implementation.

Inline comments:
In `@modules/react/dialog/stories/Dialog.mdx`:
- Around line 119-122: Update the Dialog focus documentation around
useFocusRedirect to state that reaching the first or last focusable element
closes the dialog via the default useDialogModel behavior and moves focus to the
adjacent page element; remove the claim that focus moves freely in and out,
while preserving the non-modal, non-focus-trap and screen-reader-order details.
- Around line 198-227: Wrap the Dialog example’s useUniqueId, React.useRef,
useDialogModel, and JSX in a function component that returns the JSX; apply the
same wrapper pattern to useUniqueId, React.useRef, useModalModel, and JSX in
modules/react/modal/stories/Modal.mdx lines 284-313. Update
modules/react/dialog/stories/Dialog.mdx lines 198-227 accordingly, with no
separate changes needed beyond placing the hooks inside their component.
Apply the same fix in `@modules/react/popup/stories/Popup.mdx` around lines 235 -
241: Second Popup example has the same module-scope hook issue.
In `@modules/react/form-field/stories/FormField.mdx`:
- Around line 148-152: Update the FormFieldGroup orientation documentation to
list the valid values vertical, horizontalStart, and horizontalEnd, replacing
the invalid horizontal value while leaving the other prop descriptions
unchanged.
- Line 306: Fix the grammar in the sentence beginning “For field in an error
state” by adding the missing article before “field,” while preserving the rest
of the sentence.
In `@modules/react/popup/stories/Popup.mdx`:
- Line 433: Update the accessible popup name guidance for Popup.Card so
aria-labelledby is omitted when Popup.Heading is absent, allowing the translated
aria-label fallback to be used reliably; alternatively, explicitly require
Popup.Heading instead of presenting the fallback as valid.
In `@modules/react/text-area/stories/TextArea.mdx`:
- Around line 190-204: Wrap the sibling FormField and PrimaryButton elements in
a fragment in the programmatic-focus snippets at
modules/react/text-area/stories/TextArea.mdx lines 190-204 and
modules/react/text-input/stories/TextInput.mdx lines 212-226; both sites require
the same change so each copied JSX example has a single root.

Add FormField.Hint to this focus example.
FormField.Input sets aria-describedby="hint-{id}", but this example does not render the matching FormField.Hint. Add a short hint before closing FormField.Field.
