# Implement accessible breadcrumb navigation

- Mark current page with aria-current='page'
- Keep any structured data aligned with the visible breadcrumb trail

## Check

Verify breadcrumbs use nav element with aria-label, ordered list markup, and aria-current for the current page.

## Fix

Implement breadcrumbs using semantic nav, ol/li structure, and proper ARIA attributes including aria-current='page'.

## Explain

Explain how properly marked up breadcrumbs improve navigation, SEO, and screen reader accessibility.

## Code Review
