🎨 Palette UX Improvement: Flight Card Haptics & Accessibility

💡 What

This enhancement adds tactile feedback and programmatic accessibility to the flight card pinning gesture.

🎯 Why

Gesture-based interactions like swiping to pin/unpin flights are great for visual users but can be non-discoverable and inaccessible for screen reader users. Adding haptics provides a "delight" factor and tactile confirmation, while accessibility actions ensure the feature is usable by everyone.

♿ Accessibility

  • Descriptive Labels: Screen readers now announce flight details (number, airline, origin/destination, time, status) when focusing on a flight card.
  • Accessibility Actions: Users can now pin or unpin flights directly from the screen reader's action menu, removing the dependency on the swipe gesture.
  • Haptic Confirmation: Provides non-visual feedback when a gesture threshold is crossed.

✅ Verification

  • Ran pnpm typecheck to ensure type safety.
  • Verified DOM output via Expo Web to confirm accessibilityLabel correctly maps to aria-label.
  • Cleaned up all build artifacts and temporary dependencies before submission.
