💡 What: The UX enhancement added

  • Added semantic attributes (role="dialog", aria-modal="true") to custom modals.
  • Upgraded close buttons from non-semantic <div>s to semantic <button>s with explicit aria-labels.
  • Added missing aria-label to the screenshot icon-only button in the main input bar.
  • Implemented global Escape key listener to dismiss open modals.

🎯 Why: The user problem it solves

Custom modal implementations without native <dialog> tags leak into screen readers and lack keyboard dismissal functionality (the Escape key). Icon-only buttons without aria-labels are opaque to screen readers. This ensures the app meets baseline keyboard accessibility and semantic expectations.

♿ Accessibility: Any a11y improvements made

  • Fixed screen reader contexts for 3 modals.
  • Enabled keyboard-only dismissal of modals.
  • Provided explicit descriptions for 4 icon-only buttons.

feat(ui): improve accessibility for custom modals and buttons
47532a0 
- Added `role="dialog"` and `aria-modal="true"` to `#screenshotModal`, `#pickerModal`, and `#systemMapModal`.
- Converted modal close `<div>` elements to semantic `<button>` elements.
- Added explicit `aria-label` attributes to modal close buttons and the input bar screenshot button.
- Implemented global `Escape` key event listener to gracefully dismiss active modals.
- Created `.Jules/palette.md` to journal the UX learning.

fix(ci): upgrade setup-python action to v5 to resolve deprecation war…

…ning

The CI workflow `quality.yml` was using `actions/setup-python@v4` which relies on the deprecated Node.js 20 environment, causing workflow warnings/failures. Upgraded the action to `v5` per the project's memory guidelines to ensure stability.
