As a screen reader user I want decorative SVG body outline elements to be hidden so they do not add noise to the reading experience #81

Summary

The SVG body figures in bodymap.jsx contain decorative elements (body silhouette path, head circle, neck polygon, pattern fill definitions) that are not interactive and convey no information to screen reader users. Without aria-hidden=\"true\" these elements are included in the accessibility tree alongside the meaningful muscle shapes, adding noise and confusion.
