Add aria-labels to interactive UI elements for accessibility #57

Description

@animaworks-dev-team

Summary

Improve accessibility by adding aria-label and aria-describedby attributes to interactive elements in the web UI.

What to do

Audit server/static/ for buttons, inputs, and controls that lack accessibility attributes. Priority areas:

  • Theme selector cards
  • Chat input and send button
  • Voice chat controls (mic, stop)
  • Settings page toggles and sliders
  • Navigation links and sidebar items
  • Modal close buttons

How to verify

  • Use browser DevTools Accessibility panel to check for missing labels
  • Run Lighthouse accessibility audit
  • Test with a screen reader if possible

Notes

  • Use descriptive labels (e.g. aria-label="Send message" not aria-label="Button")
  • Localized strings can use the i18n system if applicable, but English-only is fine as a first pass
