📄 Description

Summary

Two icon-only buttons in Navbar.svelte had no accessible name, making them unusable for screen reader users (WCAG 2.1 SC 4.1.2 — Name, Role, Value):

  • Sidebar toggle (mobile): rendered only a <Sidebar /> SVG with no text. Added a dynamic aria-label that reflects the current state ("Open Sidebar" / "Close Sidebar"), matching the values already used in the adjacent <Tooltip>.
  • Chat context menu (ellipsis ): rendered only <EllipsisHorizontal /> with no text. Added aria-label={$i18n.t('Chat menu')}.

Changes

  • src/lib/components/chat/Navbar.svelte

Test plan

  • Open the app on mobile (narrow viewport) and navigate with a screen reader — sidebar toggle announces "Open Sidebar" / "Close Sidebar" as it toggles
  • Open a chat and activate the ellipsis menu via keyboard — button is announced as "Chat menu"
  • No visual or functional regression on desktop
