+---
+
+## Strengths
+
+### 1. Semantic HTML Structure (WCAG 1.3.1)
+
+The component correctly uses semantic HTML landmarks and list structure:
+
+**Location:** [nav.tsx:303](nav.tsx#L303), [nav.tsx:74-82](nav.tsx#L74-L82)
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ Excellent semantic structure
+<nav aria-label="Main navigation">
+  <ul>
+    <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
+    <li><a href="/about">About</a></li>
+  </ul>
+</nav>
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Screen readers announce as "navigation" landmark
+- Users can jump directly to navigation with landmark navigation
+- Proper list structure announces item count
+
+---
+
+### 2. ARIA Labels for Multiple Navigation Regions (WCAG 2.4.1, 4.1.2)
+
+Excellent support for distinguishing multiple navigation regions:
+
+**Location:** [nav.types.ts:88-89](nav.types.ts#L88-L89), [nav.types.ts:103](nav.types.ts#L103)
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ Single navigation (no label needed)
+<Nav>
+  <Nav.List>
+    <Nav.Item><Link href="/">Home</Link></Nav.Item>
+  </Nav.List>
+</Nav>
+
+// ✅ Multiple navigations (labels required)
+<Nav aria-label="Main navigation">
+  <Nav.List>
+    <Nav.Item><Link href="/">Home</Link></Nav.Item>
+  </Nav.List>
+</Nav>
+
+<Nav aria-label="Footer navigation">
+  <Nav.List>
+    <Nav.Item><Link href="/privacy">Privacy</Link></Nav.Item>
+  </Nav.List>
+</Nav>
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Screen reader users can distinguish between multiple navigation regions
+- Supports both `aria-label` and `aria-labelledby` for flexibility
+
+---
+
+### 3. Focus Indicators (WCAG 2.4.7) ⭐
+
+Outstanding implementation with customizable focus styles:
+
+**Location:** [nav.scss:34-38](nav.scss#L34-L38), [nav.scss:98-120](nav.scss#L98-L120)
+
+```scss
+// ✅ Customizable focus indicators with WCAG compliance
+--nav-focus-color: currentColor;
+--nav-focus-width: 0.125rem; // 2px
+--nav-focus-offset: 0.125rem; // 2px
+--nav-focus-style: solid;
+
+// Applied to both :focus and :focus-visible
+a:focus-visible {
+  outline: var(--nav-focus-width) var(--nav-focus-style) var(--nav-focus-color);
+  outline-offset: var(--nav-focus-offset);
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Dual `:focus` and `:focus-visible` implementation improves UX
+- CSS custom properties allow brand customization
+- Includes WCAG 2.4.7 reference in comments
+- 2px outline width meets minimum requirements
+
+---
+
+### 4. Ref Forwarding & Programmatic Control
+
+Proper implementation enables advanced focus management:
+
+**Location:** [nav.tsx:69-83](nav.tsx#L69-L83), [nav.tsx:155-171](nav.tsx#L155-L171), [nav.tsx:300-308](nav.tsx#L300-L308)
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ All components forward refs
+export const Nav = React.forwardRef<HTMLElement, NavProps>(
+  ({ children, ...props }, ref) => {
+    return (
+      <UI as="nav" {...props} ref={ref}>
+        {children}
+      </UI>
+    );
+  }
+);
+
+Nav.displayName = "Nav";
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Enables programmatic focus management for skip links
+- Supports scroll-to-element functionality
+- Proper `displayName` for React DevTools debugging
+
+---
+
+### 5. Responsive Design (WCAG 1.4.10)
+
+Mobile-friendly layout without loss of functionality:
+
+**Location:** [nav.scss:6-12](nav.scss#L6-L12)
+
+```scss
+// ✅ Responsive layout at mobile breakpoint
+@media(max-width: 580px) {
+  flex-direction: column;
+  height: fit-content;
+  min-height: fit-content;
+  padding-block: unset;
+  gap: 0.5rem;
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Adapts to single-column layout at small viewports
+- No horizontal scrolling required
+- Meets WCAG 1.4.10 reflow requirements
+
+---
+
+### 6. Comprehensive Documentation
+
+JSDoc comments provide accessibility guidance:
+
+**Location:** Throughout [nav.tsx](nav.tsx) and [nav.types.ts](nav.types.ts)
+
+**Features:**
+- Accessibility checklists in component documentation
+- Examples for `aria-current="page"` usage
+- Guidance on when `aria-label` is required vs. optional
+- References to specific WCAG success criteria
+
+---
+
+## Issues & Recommendations
+
+### ⚠️ Warning: Focus Indicator Contrast Not Guaranteed
+
+**Severity:** Medium
+**WCAG:** 2.4.7 Focus Visible, 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast
+**Location:** [nav.scss:35](nav.scss#L35)
+
+#### Issue
+
+```scss
+// ⚠️ Current implementation
+--nav-focus-color: currentColor;
+```
+
+While `currentColor` is a good default, it doesn't guarantee the required **3:1 contrast ratio** for focus indicators. If a link color has low contrast with the nav background, the focus indicator will too.
+
+#### Recommended Fix
+
+```scss
+// ✅ Recommended: Provide high-contrast default
+--nav-focus-color: #0066CC; // High contrast blue (still customizable)
+--nav-focus-width: 0.125rem; // 2px
+--nav-focus-offset: 0.125rem; // 2px
+--nav-focus-style: solid;
+```
+
+#### Why This Matters
+
+- Focus indicators must have **3:1 minimum contrast** against background (WCAG 2.4.7)
+- Using a specific high-contrast color ensures compliance out-of-the-box
+- Users can still override via CSS custom properties for branding
+
+#### Implementation Priority
+
+🔴 **High** - Affects keyboard navigation accessibility
+
+---
+
+### 💡 Recommendation 1: Verify Hover State Contrast
+
+**Severity:** Low
+**WCAG:** 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast
+**Location:** [nav.scss:23-24](nav.scss#L23-L24)
+
+#### Current Code
+
+```scss
+&:hover {
+  background-color: var(--nav-hov-bg, #e8e8e8);
+}
+```
+
+#### Recommendation
+
+The default hover color `#e8e8e8` on white background provides approximately **1.2:1 contrast**, which may not meet the **3:1 minimum** for UI components.
+
+```scss
+// ✅ Better default with 3:1 contrast
+&:hover {
+  background-color: var(--nav-hov-bg, #d4d4d4); // Better contrast
+  // Or combine with focus indicator
+}
+```
+
+#### Testing
+
+Use [WebAIM Contrast Checker](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/) to verify:
+- Hover background vs. surrounding background: **3:1 minimum**
+- Text on hover background: **4.5:1 minimum**
+
+---
+
+### 💡 Recommendation 2: Document Current Page Pattern
+
+**Severity:** Low (Enhancement)
+**WCAG:** 4.1.3 Status Messages
+**Location:** [nav.tsx:241-250](nav.tsx#L241-L250)
+
+#### Current Implementation
+
+The component documents `aria-current="page"` in examples, which is excellent.
+
+#### Enhancement
+
+Consider creating a reusable TypeScript type for type safety:
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ Add to nav.types.ts
+export type NavLinkProps = React.AnchorHTMLAttributes<HTMLAnchorElement> & {
+  isCurrent?: boolean;
+};
+
+// Usage in documentation
+<Nav.Item>
+  <a
+    href="/about"
+    aria-current={isCurrent ? "page" : undefined}
+    className={isCurrent ? "nav-link-current" : "nav-link"}
+  >
+    About
+  </a>
+</Nav.Item>
+```
+
+#### Benefits
+
+- Type safety for current page indication
+- Encourages proper ARIA usage
+- Easier for developers to implement correctly
+
+---
+
+## Testing Guide
+
+### Automated Testing
+
