🎨 Palette: [Anchor Tag as Button Accessibility]

[0m364]

💡 What:
Added role="button" and aria-haspopup="dialog" to all instances of <a href="#" id="sitrep-btn">. Added a keydown listener for the Spacebar to trigger the openModal function, mirroring native button behavior. Recorded a new learning entry in .Jules/palette.md.

🎯 Why:
Using anchor tags with # hrefs to trigger actions (rather than navigate) creates an accessibility mismatch. Screen readers announce them as links, and keyboard users can only trigger them with Enter. Adding the correct ARIA attributes and Spacebar support ensures they behave as expected for all users.

📸 Before/After:
Before, the button was only triggered via click or Enter. Now, it can also be triggered via Space which is the standard expected behavior for buttons.

♿ Accessibility:
Improved keyboard navigation and screen reader semantics by appropriately defining the role and adding expected keyboard interaction support for links that function as buttons.
