💡 What

Added proper keyboard focus indicators (focus-visible) and ARIA labels to the interactive buttons within the ImageUploader component.

🎯 Why

Keyboard users could not easily see which element was focused within the uploader area, and screen reader users lacked context for the icon-only "Remove Image" button. Furthermore, the absolute positioned close button had a visual bug where the standard focus ring would be clipped by its container's overflow-hidden property.

📸 Before/After

(Visuals handled in Playwright verification)

  • Before: Navigating via keyboard to the upload buttons showed no clear outline.
  • After: Pressing 'Tab' clearly highlights the "Select File" button in blue and the "Remove Image" button in red, without clipping the rings.

♿ Accessibility

  • Ensured keyboard focus states are robust.
  • Prevented focus ring clipping on absolutely positioned elements using focus-visible:ring-offset-2.
  • Added aria-label to the "Remove Image" button and set the visual icon to aria-hidden="true".

Code Review

This pull request enhances accessibility in ImageUploader.tsx by adding focus-visible ring styles to buttons, an aria-label to the image removal button, and aria-hidden="true" to its inner icon. It also documents these learnings in .Jules/palette.md. The review feedback suggests replacing literal \n escape sequences in .Jules/palette.md with actual newlines to fix markdown formatting.

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.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.

The markdown file contains literal \n escape sequences instead of actual newlines. This makes the document hard to read and improperly formatted. Please replace the literal \n sequences with actual line breaks.
