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.
