+/**
+ * FormErrorSummary — A validation summary that lists form errors and links to
+ * invalid fields.
+ *
+ * ## Accessibility
+ *
+ * - Uses `role="alert"` and `aria-live="assertive"` when `announceOnce` is enabled
+ * to announce the error count and title after a failed submission.
+ * - Each error is a navigable link that moves focus to the associated field when
+ * activated, enabling quick keyboard navigation to invalid controls.
+ * - Dynamic error changes use `aria-live="polite"` to avoid repeated disruptive
+ * announcements while still keeping screen readers informed.
+ * - Works inside scrollable containers — activating an error link scrolls the
+ * target field into view using `scrollIntoView({ block: "center" })`.
+ *
+ * ## Usage
+ *
+ * ```tsx
+ * const [errors, setErrors] = useState([])
+ * const [showSummary, setShowSummary] = useState(false)
+ *
+ * function handleSubmit(e: React.FormEvent) {
+ * e.preventDefault()
+ * const validationErrors = validate(formData)
+ * if (validationErrors.length > 0) {
+ * setErrors(validationErrors)
+ * setShowSummary(true) // Triggers autoFocus and announceOnce
+ * }
+ * }
+ *
+ * return (
+ *
+ * )
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ## Integration with Field component
+ *
+ * The FormErrorSummary works seamlessly with the existing `Field` component from
+ * `@workspace/ui/components/field`. Each error's `id` must match the Field's `id`
+ * prop so the summary can link to the correct control:
+ *
+ * 1. Set a unique `id` on each Field: ``
+ * 2. Pass matching error IDs to FormErrorSummary: `{ id: "email", message: "Invalid email" }`
+ * 3. Mark fields as invalid: ``
+ *
+ * The Field component automatically wires `aria-describedby` and `aria-invalid`,
+ * so when a user activates an error link, the browser focuses the control and
+ * screen readers announce its label, state, and inline error message.
