💡 What: Added aria-label attributes to icon-only buttons across the chat sidebar, task sidebar, and chat navigation. Also added aria-hidden="true" to their inner Material icon <span> elements.
🎯 Why: To improve screen reader accessibility. Without aria-label, screen readers might read the literal ligature text (e.g., "keyboard_arrow_up") or announce an unlabeled button, making the UI inaccessible to visually impaired users.
📸 Before/After: Visuals are unchanged as this is a DOM attribute accessibility improvement. Verified via DOM inspection in Playwright.
♿ Accessibility: Ensures all icon-only action buttons are properly announced by assistive technologies and hides the visual-only ligature icons from screen reader parsing.
