…actions - Added `ariaLabel` prop to `IconButton` for screen readers - Converted interactive `div` wrappers (Search, System Online) into semantic `<button>` elements - Applied `focus-visible` styling to all custom interactive controls so they have clear visual indicators for keyboard navigation - Updated `.jules/palette.md` with learning about custom interactive elements Co-authored-by: Cukurikik <266119688+Cukurikik@users.noreply.github.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe changes improve accessibility in the Navbar component by replacing non-semantic interactive divs with proper button elements and adding focus ring styling and aria-labels. A documentation guideline is also added outlining these accessibility conversion requirements for interactive UI elements. Changes

65-75: Consider makingariaLabelrequired and addingtype="button".Two suggestions to strengthen accessibility:
ariaLabelshould be required: Icon-only buttons without labels are inaccessible to screen reader users. Making this prop required enforces accessibility at the type level.Add
type="button": Explicitly settingtype="button"prevents accidental form submission if the button is ever placed inside a form.♻️ Proposed changes

- Around line 45-48: The "System status" button in Navbar.tsx is presentational
but styled with cursor-pointer while having no onClick handler; either remove
the misleading interactivity or make it truly interactive. To fix: if it's
non-interactive, replace the <button> usage with a non-interactive element
(e.g., a <div> or span) and add role="status" and aria-live="polite" while
removing the cursor-pointer class from the element referenced by the status UI
(the element containing "System Online"); if it should be clickable, keep the
<button> and add an onClick handler (and keyboard handlers if needed) giving the
component a clear action and keep or justify cursor-pointer. Ensure updates
target the element that currently renders the status indicator.

Remove cursor-pointer class or add interactive behavior to system status button.
The button element has no onClick handler or interactive behavior, making the cursor-pointer class misleading to users. If this element is purely presentational (showing status only), use a <div role="status" aria-live="polite"> instead. If it should be interactive, add the appropriate click handler.

💡 What
IconButtoncomponent to properly accept and forwardaria-labelattributes.divs into semantic<button type="button">elements.focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-indigo-500 focus-visible:outline-noneclasses to these custom interactive elements to ensure a visible focus state when navigating via keyboard..jules/palette.md.🎯 Why
Interactive UI elements built as
divs withcursor-pointerlack inherent keyboard navigation (Tab-ability) and explicit ARIA roles. Furthermore, missing focus indicators make it very difficult for keyboard users to navigate the application. Screen readers also need explicit labels (likearia-label) on icon-only buttons to convey meaning.📸 Before/After
See the generated verification screenshot that displays a clear, native-looking focus ring on the System status element, which wasn't possible before.
