 ## Where things are
 - Project: `/home/avi/Projects/Keynctr`

    `format:check` warnings — `npm run format:check` is now fully clean.
+6. **HomeScreen keyboard accessibility (this session).** Profile list rows
+   (`<li>` elements) are now keyboard-focusable and operable:
+   - Added `role="listbox"` on the `<ul>` and `role="option"` + `aria-selected`
+     on each non-active `<li>`.
+   - Added `tabIndex={0}` so non-active rows receive keyboard focus.
+   - Added `onKeyDown` handler (Enter/Space to select) matching the existing
+     `onClick` behavior (skips if target is a button/a/input).
+   - Added descriptive `aria-label` including profile name and active state.
+   - Added `.home-profile-row:not(.is-active):focus-visible` CSS rule for the
+     standard 2px solid var(--focus) + 2px offset ring.
+   - Updated the test from `findByRole('list')` to `findByRole('listbox')`.
