 ## 2024-05-24 - Enhancing Inputs Safely
 **Learning:** Adding features like character counters to generic input components must handle both controlled and uncontrolled states. Assuming a component is controlled (using `props.value`) can break uncontrolled usage by showing stale data (e.g., sticking at 0/100).
 **Action:** When enhancing generic components, detect uncontrolled state (e.g., `props.value === undefined`) and either implement internal state tracking or gracefully degrade (hide the feature) to avoid misleading UX.

+## 2025-05-24 - Skip Link Focus Management
+**Learning:** For a "Skip to content" link to effectively move focus in an SPA, the target container (e.g., `<main>`) must be programmatically focusable. Simply having an ID is not enough; `tabIndex={-1}` is required. Additionally, standard browser behavior might show a focus ring on the container, which is often undesirable for non-interactive wrappers, so `outline: 'none'` should be applied inline or via CSS.
+**Action:** Always add `tabIndex={-1}` and `outline: 'none'` to the target of a Skip Link (`#main-content`) to ensure correct focus behavior without visual clutter.
