-The preview content is intentionally hidden from assistive technology — it is a visual convenience only. The underlying link remains fully accessible.
+## Accessibility
+
+**LinkPreview is invisible to assistive technology by design.** The floating
+preview card exists for sighted-hover discovery only — it adds no
+information a screen-reader user could not already reach through the
+underlying `<a>` element. Emitting `aria-hidden="true"` on `Content` is a
+deliberate choice:
+
+- **Duplicate content:** the preview typically mirrors the destination page
+  summary that a screen reader would announce after following the link.
+  Re-reading it as a tooltip is noise, not help.
+- **Hover-only activation:** APG explicitly recommends against exposing
+  pure-hover widgets to assistive tech because keyboard / touch users never
+  see them anyway — making them invisible everyone except mouse hover is
+  the consistent experience.
+- **Focus stays on the trigger:** the preview never steals focus, never
+  traps Tab, and closes automatically on blur. There is nothing for a
+  keyboard / AT user to miss.
+
+If your LinkPreview contains content that is NOT in the destination page
+(a custom CTA, a badge, a pricing hint), consider using `Popover` or
+`Tooltip` instead — both are AT-visible.
