## Features

- Card-style options where the whole card is a hit target via a wrapping `<label>`
- Native `<input type="radio">` group provides inherent roving-focus arrow-key navigation
- Selected card highlights its border, background, icon, and a scale-in dot indicator
- Indicator dot animates in with `transform` and `opacity` for GPU-friendly motion
- Responsive panel that adapts padding down to 280px
- Fully respects `prefers-reduced-motion`

## Accessibility

- **Native radios** — Real `<input type="radio">` group keeps inherent arrow-key navigation
- **Paired labels** — Each input is wrapped in a `<label>` so the whole card is a hit target
- **Group role** — The list uses `role="radiogroup"` with an `aria-label`
- **Focus indicators** — `:focus-visible` outline on the card via the focus ring token
- **Reduced motion** — `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` disables all animations

## Keyboard shortcuts

- `Arrow keys` — Move selection between radio cards
- `Tab` — Move focus into the group
