+## Testing an overlay component — assert through the logic, prove in a browser
+
+**A `Popover`-backed surface does not mount under jsdom.** It positions in a `useLayoutEffect` +
+rAF against `getBoundingClientRect`, which jsdom answers with zeroes, so the content never renders
+no matter how long you `waitFor`. That covers everything built on it: the `Combobox` listbox,
+`Select`, `Menu`, `Tooltip`, `InfoPopover`, `Peek`. The kit's own suite is pure-logic for exactly
+this reason — there is no render test for any of them.
+
+The trap is that the CONTROL works fine, so the failure looks like a wiring bug: the input takes
+its value, `aria-expanded` flips to `true`, and `role="option"` is nowhere. Time goes into
+debugging the component instead of the harness.
+
+So split the assertion:
+
+- **the decision** — whatever the selection drives (which rate is reachable, which rows survive a
+  filter) belongs in a pure module with its own test. That is where the consequential logic lives,
+  and it tests far better there: every branch, no DOM.
+- **the wiring** — that picking an option calls the handler and the screen re-renders — is a
+  browser check (`lotics app dev` + Playwright), which the quality bar requires anyway.
+
+A component test can still assert everything BEFORE the overlay opens: the empty default, the
+placeholder, the disabled state, and — often the point — what the screen refuses to claim while
+nothing is selected.

+## Browser autofill — suppressed on search, kept on forms
+
+**A control that owns a suggestion list must suppress the browser's.** Chrome offers saved form
+values on any text input it does not recognize as opted out, and on a `Combobox` the two dropdowns
+STACK — the component's own options render behind the browser's autofill panel, which reads as a
+rendering bug in the app.
+
+The kit sets `autoComplete="off"` for you on every control whose content is a query rather than a
+personal detail: `ComboboxInput`, `SearchInput`, `ScanField`, `ColumnFilter`, and the shared
+`OptionList` search. Nothing to pass.
+
+It deliberately does NOT do this on `FormTextInput`, the inline editors, or the comment composer.
+A contact form SHOULD autofill a name, an email and a phone number — suppressing it there is a real
+usability loss, and which fields those are is the app author's call, not the kit's. Pass
+`autoComplete` yourself on a form field (`"name"`, `"tel"`, `"email"`, `"off"`); it forwards to the
+DOM input.
