💡 What: Added
aria-labelattributes to<input>and<select>elements across core HTML files based on their placeholder or ID values. Skipped<input type="hidden">to prevent incorrect interpretation by screen readers.🎯 Why: Forms in this application rely heavily on
placeholderattributes rather than explicit, visible<label>elements. This breaks accessibility as screen readers cannot announce the inputs correctly without anaria-label.📸 Before/After: N/A (Visuals are identical; changes are strictly in HTML attributes).
♿ Accessibility: Significant improvement for screen reader users by properly labeling inputs while preventing confusion caused by labeling hidden elements. Added relevant entry in
