Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked balloons-and-static-electricity issue 521 and the utterance-queue behavior involved in a phet-io state set. The issue needs a decision about whether alerts should be prevented while the simulation changes, especially for PhET-iO with Interactive Description; done would be an agreed behavior and documented scope.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

design:phet-io dev:description dev:phet-io priority:3-medium

This came from https://github.com/phetsims/balloons-and-static-electricity/issues/521, where it was suggested that we should prevent alerts from coming out of the sim while the sim changes during a phet-io state set.

This is in the "phet-io + a11y" overlap category and likely needs a decision before greenhouse-effect is published with PhET-iO + Interactive Description.
