## API Documentation

### Question

Data class representing a single survey question.

```python
@dataclass
class Question:
    id: str                    # Unique question identifier
    title: str                 # Question title/text
    options: List[str]         # Available answer options
    description: str = ""      # Optional question description
    required: bool = True      # Whether question must be answered
```

### Survey

Main class for managing and running surveys.

```python
survey = Survey(questions: List[Question])

# Run the survey and get responses
responses: Dict[str, str] = survey.run()
```

## Keyboard Controls

The tabs form a circular navigation ring - you can navigate freely between any tabs!

### Navigation
- **Left Arrow (←)**: Move to previous tab (wraps from Q1 to Submit)
- **Right Arrow (→)**: Move to next tab (wraps from Submit to Q1)

### On Question Tabs
- **Up/Down arrows**: Select answer options
- **Enter**: Confirm selection and move to next question
- **Esc / Ctrl+C**: Cancel survey

### On Submit/Review Tab
- **Up/Down arrows**: Select between Submit and Cancel buttons
- **Enter**: Submit survey (only if all required questions answered)
- **Esc / Ctrl+C**: Cancel survey

Example Navigation:
```
Q1 ← → Q2 ← → Q3 ← → Submit
↑_______________________________↓
(pressing ← on Q1 goes to Submit)
(pressing → on Submit goes to Q1)
```

## Architecture

- **question.py**: Question data model
- **terminal.py**: Terminal rendering and UI components
- **input_handler.py**: Raw keyboard input handling
- **survey.py**: Main survey conductor and interaction logic
