💡 What
Added aria-label to the chat navigation icon-only buttons and explicitly set aria-hidden="true" on their inner Material Symbol ligatures in webui/index.html.

🎯 Why
Screen readers would previously read the raw ligature text (like 'vertical_align_top') instead of the intended action, confusing visually impaired users. Providing explicit aria-label attributes ensures screen readers announce the correct action.

📸 Before/After
N/A - This is a purely structural semantic accessibility change with no visual differences.

♿ Accessibility

  • Added aria-label attributes to <button> elements for clearer screen reader announcements.
  • Hid raw Material Symbol <span class="material-symbols-outlined"> ligatures using aria-hidden="true".

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!
