💡 What: This update enhances the kiba-welcome page (generated in build.sh) by adding ARIA roles for accessibility and a compact "Keyboard Shortcuts" section.

🎯 Why:

  1. Accessibility: The app grid was previously just a collection of divs. Adding semantic roles ensures screen readers correctly identify the list of included applications.
  2. Discoverability: Per the Palette journal, "Full-Stack UX" requires advertising features. This section highlights the Print key for screenshots and other common shortcuts, making the system more intuitive for new users.

Accessibility:

  • Added role="list" to the .app-grid container.
  • Added role="listitem" to individual app items.
  • Applied aria-hidden="true" to decorative emojis to reduce screen reader noise.

This change is under 50 lines and focuses strictly on the Welcome experience.

- Added ARIA roles (`list`, `listitem`) and hidden decorative emojis to the Welcome screen app grid.
- Integrated a 'Keyboard Shortcuts' section to advertise essential system shortcuts like 'Print' for screen capture and 'Meta+T' for the terminal.
- Aligned the Welcome UI with the project's 'Full-Stack UX' standards.
