💡 What: Added ARIA labels, focus-visible styles, and aria-hidden icons to the chat widget. Improved keyboard accessibility for message actions using focus-within.

🎯 Why: The chat widget had several icon-only buttons without labels and lacked visible focus indicators, making it difficult for screen reader and keyboard users. Message actions (Edit/Copy) were only visible on hover.

♿ Accessibility:

  • Dynamic aria-label for chat toggle (Open/Close).
  • Added aria-label to Close, Send, Stop, Edit, and Copy buttons.
  • Standardized focus-visible:ring-2 on all interactive elements.
  • Used group-focus-within to show message actions when the parent container or any of its children (like the buttons themselves) receive focus.
  • Hidden decorative icons from screen readers using aria-hidden="true".
  • Improved keyboard focus styles for links within markdown content.
