-<!-- auro-menu does not implement direct keyboard event handling. -->
-<!-- Keyboard navigation is delegated to parent components (auro-select, auro-combobox) via their keyboard strategy files. -->
 <div class="note">
-<p><strong>Note:</strong> The <code>&lt;auro-menu&gt;</code> component does not handle keyboard events directly. Keyboard navigation is managed by the parent component (e.g., <code>&lt;auro-select&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;auro-combobox&gt;</code>) through their keyboard strategy classes, which call menu methods such as <code>navigateOptions()</code>, <code>makeSelection()</code>, and <code>updateActiveOption()</code>.</p>
-</div>
+<p><strong>Note:</strong> <code>&lt;auro-menu&gt;</code> registers a <code>keydown</code> listener on its host. By default the menu is not focusable — no <code>tabindex</code> on the host, and menuoptions are <code>tabindex="-1"</code> — so the listener does not fire on its own. It fires whenever a <code>keydown</code> reaches the host, which happens in any of the following ways:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>A wrapping component focuses something inside the menu subtree and the event bubbles up to the host. In the standard integrations (<code>&lt;auro-select&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;auro-combobox&gt;</code>), keyboard behavior is primarily parent-managed rather than bubble-driven: focus stays on the parent's trigger/input, and the parent captures keys there and drives the menu directly via its public <code>navigateOptions()</code> / <code>updateActiveOption()</code> methods and the menu's internal <code>makeSelection()</code> routine (<code>@private</code>, not part of the public menu API).</li>
+<li>A wrapping component dispatches or reroutes a <code>KeyboardEvent</code> at the menu programmatically (for example, <code>menu.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', { key: 'ArrowDown', bubbles: true }))</code>).</li>
+<li>The author makes the host focusable (for example, by adding <code>tabindex="0"</code> to the <code>&lt;auro-menu&gt;</code> element) and focuses it. The host already has <code>role="listbox"</code>, so this yields a bare, focusable listbox that responds to the keys in the table below. For full combobox semantics use <code>&lt;auro-select&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;auro-combobox&gt;</code>, or replicate their <code>aria-activedescendant</code> wiring from a separate trigger.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Keys not listed below (<code>Home</code>, <code>End</code>, <code>Escape</code>, type-ahead) are handled by the parent — see the <code>&lt;auro-select&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;auro-combobox&gt;</code> keyboard behavior docs. An "interactive option" is one that is not <code>disabled</code>, <code>hidden</code>, or <code>static</code> — these are always skipped during navigation and selection, along with <code>&lt;hr&gt;</code> dividers.</p>
