+// End-to-end coverage for the key useFocusTrap deliberately ignores.
+//
+// src/components/hooks/useFocusTrap.js installs one document-level keydown
+// listener for the whole lifetime of an open lightbox, so it sees every key
+// the user presses anywhere on the page, not just Tab and Escape:
+//
+//   28  const onKeyDown = (event) => {
+//   29    if (event.key === 'Escape') { onClose(); return; }
+//   33    if (event.key !== 'Tab') return;          // <- this arm
+//   34    const focusable = dialogRef.current?.querySelectorAll(...);
+//   38    if (event.shiftKey && document.activeElement === first) { ... }
+//   41    else if (!event.shiftKey && document.activeElement === last) { ... }
+//
+// The Escape arm is driven by `Escape closes the dialog` in
+// tests/e2e/community-people.spec.js and tests/e2e/member-directory.spec.js;
+// the two wrap arms by `traps Tab inside the dialog` and the Shift+Tab case in
+// tests/e2e/interactions.spec.js. Line 33 -- the early return that makes the
+// listener indifferent to every other key -- had no browser assertion at all:
+// the e2e coverage report lists region 33 as uncovered
+// (src/components/hooks/useFocusTrap.js, 85.71% regions).
+//
+// What the guard protects is not academic. Without it, any keystroke reaching
+// the document while a lightbox is open falls through into the wrap logic, and
+// a keystroke made with focus on the dialog's *last* focusable element then
+// satisfies `!event.shiftKey && activeElement === last` and yanks focus back to
+// the close button. Typing in the dialog, or pressing an arrow key to scroll
+// it, would bounce focus on every keypress.
+//
+// Each case therefore presses its indifferent key from the last focusable
+// element rather than from the close button the trap focuses on mount, which is
+// the only position from which the removal of line 33 is observable. Focus is
+// read back as an index into the same `button, a[href]` list the trap queries,
+// so the assertion is "focus did not move", not "some element is focused".
+// Escape afterwards shows the listener was still attached and still listening,
+// so a passing run cannot be a detached handler.
