Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(Snackbar): add urgent prop to switch live-region role
 to alert (closes #615)

Previously the live-region role was hardcoded to 'status', giving no way to
signal urgency to assistive technologies. Add an `urgent` boolean prop on
SnackbarRoot that switches the rendered role to 'alert' when true, satisfying
WCAG 4.1.3 (Status Messages) for time-sensitive notifications.

+fix(Snackbar): add an `urgent` prop that switches the live region to `role="alert"` (#624)
+
+Informational snackbars keep `role="status"` (a polite live region); setting `urgent` switches to `role="alert"` (assertive) so critical notifications interrupt assistive technology instead of waiting for it to go idle (WCAG 4.1.3, Status Messages).
