Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breadcrumbs | Choose breadcrumbs when the current page has meaningful ancestor pages that help users orient and move upward. | Activating an ancestor crumb moves to that ancestor page without implying a back-in-history action. | APG documents hierarchical parent-page links, labeled navigation landmarks, and aria-current behavior for the current page. |
