+### 6. PolicyConflictDialog: Missing Modal Dialog Accessibility (Issue #297)
+**Before:** The conflict dialog had `role="dialog"` but lacked `aria-modal="true"`, a focus trap, an Escape key handler, auto-focus on mount, and focus restoration on close.
+**After:** Added `aria-modal="true"`, integrated the existing `useFocusTrap` hook for Tab/Shift+Tab wrapping, Escape key handling, initial focus on mount, and focus restoration when the dialog closes.
