💡 What: Improved the accessibility of the interactive status bar items in the main dashboard (index.html).
🎯 Why: The status bar items (System Health, Compute Resources, Data Ingestion) were implemented as clickable divs without appropriate ARIA roles or keyboard support, making them inaccessible to keyboard and screen reader users.
📸 Verification: Verified using Playwright script and manual inspection of the generated screenshot to ensure no visual regression while adding functionality.
Accessibility:
- Added role="button" to indicate interactivity.
- Added tabindex="0" to make items focusable via Tab.
- Added aria-labels ("View System Health", etc.) for context.
- Added @keydown.enter and @keydown.space.prevent for keyboard activation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Accessibility
    • Improved keyboard navigation for status bar items (System Health, Compute, Ingestion) with support for Enter and Space key interactions and enhanced ARIA labels for better accessibility.

Added `role="button"`, `tabindex="0"`, `aria-label`, and keyboard event handlers (`enter`, `space`) to the interactive status bar items in the dashboard. This ensures that keyboard users and screen readers can interact with the status bar to navigate to the System Health/Server tab.

- Added accessibility attributes to System Health, Compute Resources, and Data Ingestion status items.
- Added `aria-label` for screen reader context.
- Added keyboard event listeners for `Enter` and `Space` keys to mirror click behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Status bar items in the template were enhanced with ARIA attributes (role, aria-label) and keyboard event handlers to support keyboard navigation. The click behavior and visual layout remain unchanged; keyboard support now mirrors existing click functionality.

Changes

Pull request overview

Improves keyboard/screen-reader accessibility for the sticky dashboard status bar items in frontend/templates/index.html by making the interactive “status-bar-item” divs behave more like buttons.

Changes:

  • Added role="button" and tabindex="0" to make status bar items focusable and semantically interactive.
  • Added @keydown.enter and @keydown.space.prevent handlers to allow keyboard activation.
  • Added aria-label attributes for additional context.

aria-label overrides the element’s visible text for the accessible name. With role="button", this will cause screen readers to announce only “View System Health” and not the current health value shown inside (e.g., the overallHealth.shortExplanation text). Consider removing aria-label so the visible label/value form the name, or use aria-labelledby/aria-describedby (or a bound :aria-label) that includes the current status value.

Suggested change
role="button" tabindex="0" aria-label="View System Health"
role="button" tabindex="0"

aria-label overrides the element’s visible text for the accessible name. With role="button", this will cause screen readers to announce only “View Data Ingestion” and not the ingestion indicators represented by the contents. Consider removing aria-label so the visible label forms the name, or use aria-describedby to provide a concise textual summary of the current ingestion states.

Suggested change
role="button" tabindex="0" aria-label="View Data Ingestion"
role="button" tabindex="0"
