💡 What:
Added
aria-expandedandaria-haspopupattributes to the mobile menu and forum dropdown toggles. Addedfocus-visibleutility classes (focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-accent-500) to the dropdown toggle, mobile menu toggle, and theme toggles.🎯 Why:
Interactive disclosure widgets (like dropdowns and mobile menus) must communicate their expanded state to assistive technologies, and icon-only buttons require clearly visible focus indicators so that keyboard users can navigate the application.
📸 Before/After:
(Playwright visual verification script verified locally)
Before: Theme toggles and mobile toggles lacked focus rings when navigated via keyboard. Dropdowns didn't communicate state.
After: Active
focus-visiblerings appear on elements during keyboard navigation, and screen readers read the correct state.♿ Accessibility:
Improves keyboard navigation visibility (WCAG Focus Visible) and assistive technology state tracking (WCAG Name, Role, Value).
