## Features

- Caret's checked-in default primary is already the same orange used by its histogram, while the browser toolbox owns design-system selection.
- Two independently draggable thumbs selecting a minimum and maximum value
- Filled track between the thumbs positioned via `--lo` and `--hi` custom properties
- Crossover prevention so the minimum can never exceed the maximum
- Real pointer dragging with per-thumb pointer capture
- Zero-lag drag tracking — pointer moves commit instantly with no easing or transition delay
- Full keyboard support with Arrow, Home, End, PageUp, and PageDown on each thumb
- Crisp interaction feedback — thumb spring scale on hover and grab, tooltip tick per step, fill pulse and field commit/shake animations
- Each thumb exposes `role="slider"` with `aria-valuenow`, `aria-valuemin`, and `aria-valuemax`
- Live "min – max" readout above the control
- Responsive panel that adapts padding down to 260px
- Fully respects `prefers-reduced-motion`

## Accessibility

- **Slider role** — Each thumb uses `role="slider"` with `aria-valuenow`, `aria-valuemin`, `aria-valuemax`
- **Crossover guard** — The minimum is capped at the maximum and vice versa in JS
- **Keyboard control** — Arrow keys step, Home/End jump to bounds, PageUp/PageDown move by a larger step
- **Focus indicators** — `:focus-visible` with a `--ring` indicator on all interactive elements; the range handles carry a `--dr-thumb-ring-width` band fenced by `--surface` separators so it stays legible where it crosses the filled track
- **Reduced motion** — `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` disables all animations

## Keyboard shortcuts

- `ArrowRight` — Increase the focused thumb by one step
- `ArrowLeft` — Decrease the focused thumb by one step
- `Home` — Move the focused thumb to the minimum
- `End` — Move the focused thumb to the maximum
- `PageUp` — Increase the focused thumb by a larger step
- `PageDown` — Decrease the focused thumb by a larger step
