Accessibility
- The component uses a section element, an h2 for the optional heading, and an h3 for each step title.
- Steps follow their array order in the document, including when the layout changes from vertical to horizontal.
- Provide meaningful text for icons when they convey information; decorative icon content should not replace the step title.
- The component does not expose a current-step or completion state.
