💡 What: Added role="button" and aria-haspopup="dialog" to all <a href="#" id="sitrep-btn"> links, and implemented a keydown listener for the Spacebar key (with e.preventDefault()) to trigger the modal.
🎯 Why: While native <button> tags are preferable, when <a href="#"> tags must be used to trigger actions like modals, they lack native semantics and keyboard support. Screen readers won't announce them as buttons, and keyboard users expect Spacebar to activate buttons (which fails on anchors, causing page scroll instead). This ensures the link behaves identically to a native button.
📸 Before/After: The visual experience is identical. The "OSINT" button still triggers the modal.
Accessibility: Screen readers now announce the "OSINT" link as a button that opens a dialog. Keyboard users can now trigger the modal using the Spacebar (in addition to the Enter key) without the page scrolling abruptly.
