Changelog Entry

Description

As a result of investigating how to address Issue #13639, it was found that the aria-live attribute needs to be added to make content readable by screen readers.
I addressed this by adding the response content to a div with this attribute at the timing of chat message completion.

Fixed

I added a div with aria attributes to the ResponseMessage.
