 - 菜单打开期间，焦点保持在标题上，高亮项由组件管理。驱动菜单的按键注册在标题上，而 MyGo 的 active descendant 不公开，因此高亮变化时用 `c.Announce` 朗读当前项，并把它写入标题的 `Description`。
 - 弹层打开时在 160 ms 内淡入，减少动画时直接显示。关闭时立即消失：弹层关闭后 MyGo 不再构建其元素，公开接口无法为已移除的浮层做淡出。
 - 点击菜单内任意位置（包括禁用项）或用指针打开子菜单后，焦点回到所属标题，方向键、Enter、Escape 继续有效。
+- 菜单打开时用 Tab 或 Shift+Tab 离开菜单栏，菜单关闭，焦点留在 Tab 目标上；焦点在菜单栏内任意位置时 Escape 关闭菜单。
