Research direction
Start by reproducing the animation card in Web Chat using Edge with Windows Narrator, then compare its behavior with the WCAG Pause, Stop, Hide reference. Identify where the auto-scrolling animation is rendered and how its controls could be exposed. Done means users can pause, stop, or hide the animation and the behavior is verified against the reported scenario.
