Changelog 2026-03-05 (Accessibility Theme Toggle Live Announcement Pass 23)

Article content

Changed

• Added a hidden live status region next to the theme toggle (role="status", aria-live="polite", aria-atomic="true").
• Linked the toggle to the status region via aria-describedby for clearer assistive context.
• Updated theme toggle script to announce explicit state changes (“Theme changed to dark/light mode”) only on user-triggered toggles.

Why

• Provides immediate, explicit confirmation after interaction without requiring users to infer change from visual cues.
• Reduces ambiguity for non-visual users switching between dark and light modes.
