💡 What: Comprehensive accessibility sweep across the main application interface. Added ARIA labels, title attributes, keyboard navigation support (tabIndex and Enter/Space handlers) for custom buttons, and marked decorative icons as hidden from assistive technology.

🎯 Why: The application had several icon-only buttons and interactive elements (like tags) that were inaccessible to keyboard-only and screen reader users.

Accessibility:

  • Icon-only buttons (Favorite, Quick Assign, Sidebar toggles) now have proper labels.
  • Interactive game tags and status badges are now keyboard-accessible.
  • Decorative emojis no longer create auditory noise for screen readers.

🛠️ Maintenance:

  • Fixed a pre-existing TypeScript error in GameScreenshotsCarousel.tsx where an unused state variable hasIgdbId was preventing the production build.

P2 Badge Expose platform metadata to assistive tech

The platform marker next to each game title is now marked aria-hidden, but this card header does not render any textual platform name elsewhere. In practice, screen-reader users lose the only per-card platform cue while sighted users still have it, which is a regression in accessibility for grid/list browsing. Keep a screen-reader-accessible platform label (for example, hidden text with the platform name) instead of hiding this indicator entirely.
