A11y | Mention the Sort keyboard path

[BrianGenisio]

Summary

Closes #51. Sort instructions now include the keyboard path that already exists, so 2.5.7 is discoverable (3.3.2).

The line is the confirmed P11 sentence: “Click or drag the items onto the cards above, or select an item and press Enter on a card.”

Also records A12 as closed (PR #67) on the issue map. That number is not on the A14 row.

Changes

One string in sort.js. Click-to-place, the category-head button (Enter/Space), and drag are unchanged. “Drop items here” and the A21 dropzone token are unchanged.

The A8 characterization lock now asserts the P11 sentence. A14 has its own characterization test for the same copy.

Test plan

• npm test — A14 and flipped A8 copy lock
• /play sort-into-boxes.md: new sentence is visible; click-to-place works; activating the category head places the selected chip; drag still places
• PORT=3010 A11Y_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3010 SIM_PORT=8081 SIM_ORIGIN=http://127.0.0.1:8081 npm run a11y:ci — baseline stays color-contrast 1
• VoiceOver / keyboard pass (needs-manual-verify)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Sort activity instruction now describes selecting an item and pressing Enter on a category card. Characterization tests require the complete keyboard-inclusive sentence and add dedicated A14 coverage. The Wave 4 plan records A12 as completed in PR #67 and identifies A14 as the next work item.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c9823

This PR adds the existing keyboard path to the sort instructions without changing interaction behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.
