Changelog 2026-03-05 (Accessibility Reliability Error-State Clarity Pass 48)

Article content

Changed

• Added shared runtime error classification for reliability fetch failures (timeout, rate-limit, unavailable).
• Updated deploy/CI failure messaging to show explicit state text (Timed out, Rate limited, Unavailable) instead of a single generic failure label.
• Updated incident-feed failure messaging and summary context with the same explicit state distinctions.
• Mapped timeout/rate-limit states to warning tone while reserving error tone for true unavailable failures.

Why

• Improves assistive-tech and visual interpretation by making degraded states explicit rather than collapsing them into a single generic error.
• Helps users pick better next actions (retry later vs inspect fallback links immediately).
