hideOthers

v0.0.5

Marks every sibling of target (within parentNode, defaulting to document.body) as aria-hidden="true" so assistive technologies skip them. aria-live regions and <script> elements are preserved. Returns an undo function that restores the previous state; calls stack (ref-counted) across multiple layers. Port of the aria-hidden npm package, kept dependency-free.
