Summary
Add an accessible rendering mode that presents a form as a linear sequence of plain text prompts for screen-reader and assistive-technology users, instead of the full-screen panel repaint.
Details
The interactive panel TUI redraws the whole viewport on every change. Full-screen repaint is hostile to screen readers, which re-read the entire screen on each repaint, so assistive-technology users cannot practically complete a panel form today.
Add an accessible mode that renders the same form as a linear, one-question-at-a-time sequence of plain, self-contained text prompts, each echoed as ordinary output lines. It should reuse the existing validation, derived-value, conditional-field, fix-up and provenance logic so only the presentation layer differs: a form defined once is answerable in either mode with no separate definition.
Enable it explicitly with a form-level option and implicitly via an environment variable, alongside the existing Unicode/ASCII and NO_COLOR display-mode switches.
