+"""The Brain > Add Memory form must be submittable (#5828).
+
+The form previously had no submit button and relied on a deprecated
+``keypress`` listener for Enter, which is not guaranteed to fire on all
+platforms — leaving the form with no working submit path. Pins:
+
+- a visible, keyboard-accessible submit button next to the category select;
+- the button wired to ``memoryModule.addNewMemory()``;
+- Enter handled via ``keydown`` with ``preventDefault()`` (and no lingering
+  ``keypress`` handler on the input).
