+REVIEW CHANGES (post initial implementation)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+  The following changes were made based on maintainer-style code review:
+
+  1. ns_ax_window_end_charpos: added window_end_valid guard.  Falls
+     back to BUF_ZV when the window has not been fully redisplayed,
+     preventing stale data in AX getters called before next redisplay.
+
+  2. GC safety documentation: detailed comment on lispWindow ivar
+     explaining why staticpro is not needed (windows reachable from
+     frame tree, GC only on main thread, AX getters dispatch to main).
+
+  3. ns-accessibility-enabled (DEFVAR_BOOL): new user option to
+     disable accessibility entirely.  Guards three entry points.
+
+  4. postAccessibilityNotificationsForFrame: extracted from one ~200
+     line method into four focused helpers:
+     - postTextChangedNotification: (typing echo)
+     - postFocusedCursorNotification:direction:granularity:markActive:
+       oldMarkActive: (focused cursor/selection)
+     - postCompletionAnnouncementForBuffer:point: (completions)
+     - postAccessibilityNotificationsForFrame: (orchestrator, ~60 lines)
+
+  5. ns_ax_completion_text_for_span: added block_input/unblock_input
+     with specpdl unwind protection for signal safety.
+
+  6. Fplist_get third-argument comment (PREDICATE, not default value).
+
+  7. Documentation: macos.texi section updated with
+     ns-accessibility-enabled variable reference.  etc/NEWS updated.
