+ * This is `RadioGroup`'s `itemShape="tile"` with the radio taken
+ * away. The
+ * [2026-08-25 record](../../../../docs/decisions/2026-08-25-a-choice-tile-is-a-radiogroup-shape-not-a-third-component.md)
+ * that made the choice tile a `RadioGroup` shape named this case
+ * under *"What this deliberately does not cover"* — mux-magic's "Pick
+ * a tool" tiles are `<a href>` and points-market's are `<Link>`, and
+ * *"a link is not a radio, and giving one `aria-checked` would be
+ * worse than the paint it replaced"*. So the box is shared through
+ * `tileStyles.ts` and nothing else is.
+ *
+ * ### Which of the two you want
+ *
+ * Ask what a press does.
+ *
+ *  - It **records a value** the user will then submit, or that
+ *    filters what is below it — `RadioGroup itemShape="tile"`. The
+ *    set announces "3 of 6", the arrow keys move the choice, and one
+ *    tile stays selected.
+ *  - It **goes somewhere or starts something** — this. Nothing stays
+ *    selected, because nothing was chosen: the page moved on. Tab
+ *    reaches each tile, Enter and Space press it, and a `href` tile
+ *    is a real anchor.
+ *
+ * A first step that opens the next step is the second kind, which is
+ * why QueuePilot's "Queue type" chooser is here and its Tonight
+ * activity filter is not.
+ *
+ * ### Why this is not a `Button` with a `className`
+ *
+ * A `Button` is sized by `h-(--control-height-md)` and carries **no
+ * block padding at all** — one line of text, by contract. An app that
+ * wants a wrapping two-line card reaches for `height: auto`, which
+ * deletes the height and leaves `padding: 0` down the block axis:
+ * a title flush against the top border and a description flush
+ * against the bottom one, with nothing to report it. That shipped in
+ * QueuePilot and is what this component exists to have made
+ * impossible.
+ *
+ * ### `role="group"`, and no roving tabindex
+ *
+ * These are ordinary buttons and anchors, so the platform already
+ * owns the keyboard: Tab reaches each one, Enter and Space press it,
+ * and a link opens in a new tab on ctrl-click. A radio group borrows
+ * one tab stop and moves the choice with the arrow keys because
+ * exactly one of its options is true at a time; nothing here is
+ * true, so imposing that model would only cost a keyboard user the
+ * ability to Tab to the second tile.

+[`ActionTiles`](/docs/components-actions-actiontiles--docs) is the same tile that **acts**
+rather than holds a value, and it *does* earn its own file: invert every clause of the
+paragraph above — no `radio` role, no roving tabindex, no selection-follows-focus, no
+`isReadOnly` — and the box is all that is left in common. The two read it from one
+`tileStyles.ts`. Ask what a press does: records a value something below reads, or goes
+somewhere and is done.
