Remedy grounds (2026-09-29)

• A separator drawn by CSS with empty alternative text (content: '·' / '') keeps a decorative mark out of speech output (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/content, checked 2026-09-29); key-and-value metadata reads better as a description list, the pattern the GOV.UK summary list uses (https://design-system.service.gov.uk/components/summary-list/, checked 2026-09-29).
• Scope stays on the three places the record names: the dots inside the relationship chart's canvas labels (site-src/record.js) are drawn text, not markup.
• Rejected: swapping the dot for another glyph, which leaves the reading problem and the screen-reader noise in place.
