πŸ’‘ What: Replaced <span aria-live="polite"> with semantic <time dateTime={now.toISOString()}> for the clock components in the Desktop Taskbar and Mobile StatusBar.
🎯 Why: Elements with aria-live="polite" cause screen readers to announce changes every time the content updates. For continuously updating clocks, this causes a frustrating and disruptive experience by interrupting the user every minute. Using semantic <time> elements provides accessible structure without forcing repetitive announcements.
β™Ώ Accessibility: Eliminates a major source of screen reader interruption while preserving semantic time representation for assistive technologies.
