💡 What: Added keyboard focus indicators (focus-visible:ring-2, focus-visible:ring-offset-2) to the "Select File" and "Remove Image" buttons. Also added a title and aria-label to the clear button, explicitly hiding the inner SVG from screen readers.
🎯 Why: To improve accessibility for keyboard users by providing clear focus states without impacting mouse users. The explicit ARIA label helps screen reader users understand the purpose of the icon-only "Remove Image" button.
📸 Before/After: Before, the buttons lacked an explicit visible focus state when tabbed via keyboard. After, a distinct offset ring appears during keyboard navigation. The .Jules/palette.md journal has been updated.
Accessibility: Fixes WCAG criteria related to Focus Visible and Non-text Content (ARIA labels).

Code Review

This pull request improves accessibility in the ImageUploader component by adding focus-visible ring styles, an aria-label, and an aria-hidden attribute to the buttons, alongside documenting this pattern in .Jules/palette.md. The review feedback suggests explicitly setting type="button" on both the file selection and clear buttons to prevent accidental form submissions when the component is rendered inside a form.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

The <button> element defaults to type="submit" when placed inside a <form>. To prevent accidental form submissions when this component is used within a form, explicitly set type="button".

Explicitly set type="button" on the clear button to prevent accidental form submissions if the ImageUploader is rendered inside a <form>.
