[CORE-8044] 2.4.7/ai-review-comment-hide
This commit implements comprehensive accessibility improvements to ensure
the application meets WCAG 2.2 AA compliance standards, making it accessible
to users with disabilities.

## Form Accessibility
- Add visible labels to all form inputs with proper label-input associations
- Implement autocomplete attributes for email, password, and tel fields
- Associate validation errors with form controls using aria-describedby
- Add aria-invalid attributes to invalid form fields
- Add text-based required field indicators (not just asterisks)
- Implement fieldset/legend for grouped form controls (checkboxes, radio buttons)

## Navigation & Keyboard Support
- Add skip navigation links for main content and navigation
- Implement keyboard navigation support (Enter/Space) for all interactive elements
- Convert icon-only buttons to accessible button elements with aria-labels
- Add keyboard event handlers (keydown.enter, keydown.space) to custom interactive elements

## ARIA & Semantic HTML
- Implement proper ARIA tabs pattern (role='tablist', 'tab', 'tabpanel', aria-selected)
- Add role='status' and aria-live='polite' to all loading spinners
- Add role='alert' and aria-live to error messages
- Mark decorative icons with aria-hidden='true'
- Add appropriate ARIA roles to custom components (cards, lists, modals)

## Images & Media
- Improve alt text for meaningful images (avatars, logos, content images)
- Mark decorative images with empty alt and aria-hidden='true'
- Add aria-label to video elements

## Focus Management
- Create global focus indicator styles using :focus-visible pseudo-class
- Ensure visible focus indicators meet WCAG contrast requirements
- Add focus styles for buttons, links, and form elements

## Color & Contrast
- Adjust gray color variables (--practera-60-Percent-gray, --practera-80-Percent-gray)
  to meet WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text)

## Page Titles
- Implement dynamic page title updates using Angular Title service
- Add descriptive page titles to auth components (Login, Registration, etc.)

## Error Handling
- Associate validation errors with form controls using aria-describedby
- Add aria-invalid to form fields when validation fails
- Create live regions for error announcements with role='alert'

## Components Updated
- Auth components (login, registration, forgot password, reset password)
- Form question components (text, multiple choice, single choice, file upload)
- Assessment component
- Chat components (list, room, info)
- Settings component
- Topic component
- Event detail component
- File display and preview components
- Activity card component
- Tab navigation component
- Contact number form component
- Review rating component

## Files Modified
- src/app/app.component.html (skip links)
- src/app/auth/** (form labels, autocomplete, page titles)
- src/app/questions/** (error association, fieldset/legend)
- src/app/assessment/assessment.component.html (loading spinners, errors)
- src/app/chat/** (icon accessibility, alt text)
- src/app/tabs/tabs.component.html (ARIA tabs pattern)
- src/app/shared/** (icon accessibility, file components)
- src/styles.scss (focus indicators, skip links)
- src/theme/variables.scss (color contrast adjustments)

## Testing Recommendations
- Test with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
- Test keyboard-only navigation
- Verify focus indicators are visible
- Test form validation error announcements
- Verify page titles update correctly

## WCAG 2.2 AA Compliance Status
✅ 2.1.1 Keyboard - All functionality operable via keyboard
✅ 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks - Skip navigation links implemented
✅ 2.4.7 Focus Visible - Focus indicators meet requirements
✅ 3.3.1 Error Identification - Errors associated with form controls

CRITICAL FIX: Navigation links were broken due to visible ion-label elements

Issues Fixed:
1. Side navigation ion-labels were visible and breaking UI layout
2. Navigation clicks were not working - ion-labels were intercepting pointer events

Changes:
- Applied screen-reader-only CSS pattern to ion-label elements in navigation
- Added aria-label to Settings button for accessibility
- ion-labels now hidden visually but still accessible to screen readers

Affected Components:
- v3.page.scss: Added screen-reader-only styles for ion-label in .menu-item
- v3.page.html: Added aria-label to Settings button

WCAG Criteria: 2.4.4 (Link Purpose), 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value)
Priority: CRITICAL - Navigation was completely broken
- refactor menu item structure for better semantics
- improve aria attributes for screen reader compatibility
- adjust styles for better alignment and visibility
…g and clicks

CRITICAL FIX UPDATE: Changed from screen-reader-only pattern to display:none

Issues Fixed:
1. Excessive left padding - ion-labels were taking up space in flex layout
2. Navigation links not clickable - pointer-events:none was too broad

Changes:
- Changed ion-label from position:absolute screen-reader pattern to display:none
- Removed pointer-events:none from child elements
- aria-label on parent link/button provides accessible name (WCAG 4.1.2)

Why display:none is OK:
- Each link has aria-label attribute providing accessible name
- ion-label was redundant for screen readers
- WCAG 4.1.2 satisfied by aria-label on interactive element

Affected:
- v3.page.scss: Simplified ion-label hiding to display:none
- CRITICAL_FIX_Nov2025.md: Updated with rationale

WCAG Criteria: 2.4.4 (Link Purpose), 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value)
Priority: CRITICAL - Navigation padding and clicks broken

VERIFIED on staging (Nov 6, 2025):
✅ Navigation menu rendering correctly - no excessive padding
✅ All navigation links clickable and working
✅ Settings button opens modal successfully
✅ Active states properly indicated

Pending verification (requires specific content):
- Dynamic chatroom-name IDs (need multiple chat rooms)
- Dynamic inner-box IDs (need video messages)

  - Apply lang attributes to user-generated content:
    - Chat messages
    - Assessment submissions (text, multiple, oneof components)
    - Activity descriptions
  - Update moveToNewLocale to set HTML lang attribute

- Update HTML lang attribute initialization
  - Set lang attribute on app startup (app.component.ts)
  - Ensure dynamic updates when locale changes

- Update documentation
  - Mark WCAG checklist items as completed/verified
  - Add comprehensive testing summary (TESTING_SUMMARY_Nov2025.md)
- Mark all completed steps and implementation items
- Document files modified for each fix
- Update status to reflect implementation completion
- Add commit reference and deployment status
- Implemented final adjustments for 3.1.2 Language of Parts
