What does aria-hidden do?
Short interview answer
aria-hidden=true removes an element and its descendants from the accessibility tree but does not visually hide them or prevent focus. Never leave focusable interactive descendants inside an aria-hidden subtree.
Key takeaway
Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
