State ownership and DOM target

Concern	Contract
State	Application controlled through open and the matching callback.
DOM target	Public passthrough props target the component root. Treat nested elements and private class names as implementation details.

Anatomy and related components

Public compound members: Root, Trigger, Content

Limitations

Avoid HoverCard when using feedback components as primary page layout.

Use only the documented props, entry points, and compound members. Internal DOM nesting and CSS class names can change without becoming part of the public component contract.

Accessibility

Feedback components should announce status changes and manage focus only when the component owns that behavior.

Use Dialog, Sheet, or FocusTrap for modal workflows.
Use Toast or native live-region semantics for dynamic announcements.
Make dismiss and escape behavior clear for overlays.
