TalkBack Accessibility Improvements

This build (debug-signed) includes extensive TalkBack accessibility fixes on top of upstream v2.11.0.

What's new

  • Story tiles — full accessibility action set: Upvote, Downvote, Favorite/Unfavorite, Block/Unblock user, Open in browser, More actions
  • Comment tiles — Upvote and Downvote added to accessibility actions alongside existing Reply, Edit, More actions, View ancestors
  • Profile tab — announces notification count ("Profile, 3 unread notifications")
  • Comment collapse/expand — TalkBack hint says "Double tap to collapse / expand"
  • Onboarding images — marked decorative; description text is read instead
  • Countdown reminder — labeled as a button ("Pick up where you left off. Tap to continue reading.")
  • Inbox comments — each item announces author, time, and "Tap to view comment"
  • Simple story tiles — use full screenReaderLabel
  • Tab bar reorder — items announce "Press and hold to reorder"
  • screenReaderLabel — shortened from "This story has X points and Y comments" to "X points, Y comments"
  • Comment #N counter — hidden from TalkBack (decorative)
  • "At level X" — changed to "Level X"
  • Feature discovery overlays — all tap targets labeled (fav, pin, link, search, jump buttons, login)
  • Modal bottom sheets — barrier labeled "Dismiss" instead of "scrim"
