💡 What:
Added proper ARIA roles (role="button", aria-haspopup="dialog") and Spacebar keyboard support to the OSINT modal triggers across the site.

🎯 Why:
The OSINT modal trigger used anchor <a> tags with href="#". Native anchor tags only trigger on the Enter key and are announced as links by screen readers. By adding button roles and spacebar support, it now behaves like a native button, providing a predictable and accessible experience for screen reader and keyboard-only users.

📸 Before/After:
(No visual changes - purely an under-the-hood accessibility and keyboard interaction improvement.)

Accessibility:

  • Ensures screen readers announce the trigger as a button that opens a dialog.
  • Allows keyboard users to trigger the modal using the Space key, matching standard button behavior and preventing default page scrolling.

- Added `role="button"` and `aria-haspopup="dialog"` to `#sitrep-btn` anchor tags in `concepts.html`, `contact.html`, and `products.html`.
- Added a `keydown` listener in `modal.js` to open the modal and prevent default page scrolling when the `Space` key is pressed.
- Added a new UI test in `test_ui.py` to verify modal trigger ARIA attributes and keyboard functionality.
- Logged the learning in `.Jules/palette.md`.
