This PR introduces several micro-UX and accessibility improvements focused on providing clear feedback for user actions and improving the experience for assistive technology users.

💡 What: The UX enhancement added

  1. Clipboard Feedback: A new copyFeedback utility in js/utils.js provides immediate inline visual and ARIA feedback when a "Copy" button is clicked. It temporarily updates the button text and label to "Copied!" (or a custom message) while preserving any icons.
  2. Accessibility (A11y) Sweep: Added aria-label attributes to all primary icon-only buttons in the interface, including sidebar toggles, attachment/voice inputs, and chat send/stop buttons. Decorative SVGs are now hidden from screen readers.

🎯 Why: The user problem it solves

  • Users previously only had toast notifications for copy actions, which are often far from the point of interaction. Inline feedback is more direct and reassuring.
  • Icon-only buttons without labels are inaccessible to screen reader users.

♿ Accessibility: Any a11y improvements made

  • Added descriptive aria-label to 6+ icon-only buttons.
  • Synchronized aria-label updates during feedback cycles.
  • Marked decorative icons as aria-hidden.
  • Improved input labeling for the main chat textarea.

Verified with Playwright functional testing.
