+# Confirmation keyboard scrolling — 20 October 2026
+
+The Linux compose journey found a serious `scrollable-region-focusable` violation in the shared confirmation dialog at a short landscape viewport. Its message body can overflow independently while containing no focusable content. The shared owner is `ConfirmProvider`, also used by attachment deletion, application workspace changes, CV template changes and Career evidence deletion.
+
+The body now exposes a keyboard-focusable region named by the existing localized dialog title. Cancel retains initial focus; confirmation, dismissal, focus restoration and Promise resolution are unchanged. No new strings, dialog framework or saving semantics are introduced.
+
+The strengthened existing unit case failed ordinarily before the implementation (one failure, one pass). Afterward all eight cases in the confirmation, confirmation-flow, dialog-flow and modal-state suites passed. The full ten-case native compose suite passed without retries/skips/flaky outcomes at 07:28:17–07:29:43 UTC against a fresh production export. This includes the eight-width bilingual theme/keyboard journey and its unchanged all-enabled axe assertion. Build passed. No test inventory change, accessibility waiver or production authorization change is made.
+
+Human screen-reader and physical-device acceptance remain pending. This narrow correction does not accept the remaining Phase 7 migration or establish live deployment success.
