The edit button in the card footer had neither aria-label nor title, so its accessible name fell back to the emoji and was announced as "pencil, button". Sighted users got no tooltip either, and the button only fades in on hover. Add aria-label and title, matching the pattern the copy and pin buttons next to the title already use, plus the explicit type="button" those siblings carry. Closes anoopcodehack#450

What
Gives the ✏️ edit button in the task card footer an
aria-labeland atitle.Why
The button had neither, so its accessible name fell back to its own content — the ✏️ emoji — and a screen reader announced it as "pencil, button" instead of describing the action. Sighted users got no tooltip either, and since the button only fades in on hover there was nothing else to go by.
The copy and pin buttons next to the title already follow this pattern, so this just brings the third button in line with its siblings. It also picks up the explicit
type="button"those two carry.Testing
Ran the board locally with several tasks and inspected the rendered button: its accessible name is now "Edit task" rather than the emoji, the tooltip appears on hover, and clicking it still opens the edit modal as before. No console errors.
Closes #450
