Accessibility
- Give each dialog a descriptive `DialogTitle`; provide `DialogDescription` when additional context is useful.
- The default content close control includes an X icon and screen-reader-only “Close” text. Keep it enabled unless an equally clear close option is provided.
- The footer's optional close button has the visible label “Close”; `DialogClose` can also wrap a custom close control.
- Use clear, action-specific labels for buttons, especially for destructive or irreversible actions.
