+## 2026-07-11 - Drilldown Navigation Accessibility
+
+**Learning:** Drilldown components that use a sequence of breadcrumb-like buttons inside a generic `<div>` are not recognized as navigation by screen readers, and dynamic level counters are often missed.
+**Action:** Always wrap breadcrumb-style sequences in `<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">`, mark the current level with `aria-current="step"`, and use `aria-live="polite"` on dynamic level text indicators to ensure screen readers announce changes as users navigate deeper.
