-<auro-header level="3" id="activeCellTracking">Active Cell Tracking</auro-header>
-The calendar tracks a single active cell across the rendered month(s). DOM focus stays on the `#calendarGrid` wrapper the entire time — arrow keys never move focus onto individual cell buttons. `setActiveCell()` imperatively marks the chosen cell (adds the `active` property on the cell host and an `.activeCell` class on its button) without a Lit re-render. Screen-reader awareness of the active cell is provided by an `aria-live` region rather than by `aria-activedescendant`, so the reader is never asked to shift its point of regard on every arrow keypress — a debounce coalesces bursts (see [Screen Reader Announcements](#screenReaderAnnouncements)).
+<auro-header level="3" id="ariaActivedescendant">aria-activedescendant</auro-header>
+The calendar grid uses an **`aria-activedescendant`** pattern for keyboard navigation. DOM focus remains on a wrapper element (`#calendarGrid`) while `aria-activedescendant` points to a proxy `<span>` that mirrors the active cell's ARIA attributes (`aria-label`, `aria-selected`, `aria-current`, `aria-disabled`). This approach keeps the screen reader in sync with the visually active cell without moving DOM focus on every keystroke, which prevents duplicate announcements during rapid arrow-key navigation.
 
 The active cell receives an `.activeCell` CSS class to display a visible focus ring, since the native `:focus-visible` pseudo-class applies to the grid wrapper (which holds actual DOM focus), not to individual cells.

-<auro-header level="3" id="ariaLiveDeviation">Documented Deviation: `aria-live="assertive"` for Arrow-Key Navigation</auro-header>
-WCAG 2.1 SC 4.1.3 (Status Messages) generally recommends `aria-live="polite"` for non-critical status updates so screen readers don't interrupt the user. The calendar's navigation live region intentionally uses `aria-live="assertive"` instead. This is a knowing deviation, made for the following reasons:
-
-- **VoiceOver behavior** — VoiceOver treats `polite` announcements as "wait until idle," and during active arrow-key traversal the screen reader is never idle. Polite announcements are silently dropped, leaving keyboard users with no feedback about which cell is now active. `assertive` is the only reliable way to communicate the newly focused date on macOS/iOS VoiceOver during navigation.
-- **Interruption mitigation** — A 150 ms debounce is applied in [`announceFocusDebounced`](../../src/auro-calendar.js) so only the final cell after a burst of arrow keys is announced. Rapid navigation produces one announcement per pause, not one per keystroke, which minimizes the interruption cost of `assertive`.
-- **Scope** — The same live region is reused for date selection and month-change announcements, all of which are user-initiated and expected. It is never used for background/system-generated updates.
-
-Consumers auditing against APG or WCAG 4.1.3 should treat this as an intentional, documented trade-off between spec-preferred politeness and reliable VoiceOver support.

 - The `fromLabel` slot content is used as the accessible name for the first date input. It is also forwarded to the dropdown bib as the dialog's accessible name (`aria-labelledby`).
 - When `range` is set, the `toLabel` slot content provides the accessible name for the second date input.
