🎯 What
Implemented web accessibility updates across the navigation rail, bottom navigation bar, landing page, region homepage, and default layout to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards.

⚠️ Risk
Low risk. These changes primarily touch structural HTML tags (<main>), ARIA attributes (aria-label, aria-selected, aria-hidden, role), and event handlers (@keydown.native.enter.space.prevent), which should have zero visual impact and provide significant accessibility benefits.

🛡️ Solution

  • Replaced <div class="tw-flex..."> with <main> on layouts/default.vue and pages/regions/_region/index.vue.
  • Added localized aria-label tags to the NavigationRail and NavigationBar to make interactive icon buttons easily readable by screen readers.
  • Hid decorative SVGs using aria-hidden="true".
  • Transformed the screenshot selector (pages/index.vue) into a fully compliant tablist component, using proper ARIA roles and adding support for the Space and Enter keys for keyboard navigation.
  • Ensured external links include "opens in a new tab" context using screen-reader accessible labels.

- Add `aria-hidden="true"` to decorative SVGs
- Update `<nav>` and interactive elements with localized `aria-label` attributes for screen readers
- Replace root `div` with semantic `<main>` tag in layout and region index
- Improve keyboard navigation for screenshot choice tablist by adding proper `role`, `aria-selected`, `tabindex`, and keyboard event handlers with `.prevent` modifier
- Ensure external links clearly denote they open in a new tab via `aria-label`
