+// We assert the sizing utility classes rather than measuring getBoundingClientRect:
+// the component-test browser env (src/test-setup.ts) loads no Tailwind stylesheet,
+// so class-based layout has no effect there and a rendered element collapses to its
+// icon (16px). The `min-h/min-w-[44px]` classes are the exact mechanism that yields
+// the WCAG target size in the real app; the compiled px size is covered by e2e.
