Changelog 2026-03-06 (Accessibility: External Link Labeling Pass)

Article content

Changed

• Added target="_blank" + rel="noopener noreferrer" to homepage GitHub status links used in the Now Building and Reliability fallback surfaces.
• Added explicit aria-label copy to those links so assistive-tech users get clear “opens in a new tab” context.
• Preserved existing visible link text and badges while improving interaction clarity and security semantics for external navigation.

Why

• This accessibility sweep batch focused on interactive control naming and external navigation clarity.
• The update improves predictability for keyboard/screen-reader users when leaving the site to GitHub dashboards.
