💡 What: Added comprehensive accessibility and keyboard support to the custom drag-and-drop file upload zone (#dropZone).

🎯 Why: Custom file upload drop zones (div or section) are completely inaccessible to keyboard-only and screen reader users by default, preventing a segment of users from interacting with the core functionality of the app. By making the zone focusable, semantic, and interactive via keyboard, we vastly improve the app's usability without altering the visual design.

Accessibility:

  • Added tabindex="0" to make the element focusable.
  • Added role="button" to inform assistive tech of its interactive nature.
  • Added a localized aria-label describing its function.
  • Implemented keydown support for 'Enter' and 'Space' to trigger the hidden file input.
  • Added focus and blur event listeners to provide visual feedback to keyboard users, reusing the existing drag-and-drop highlight styling.

…tion

Adds `tabindex="0"`, `role="button"`, and an `aria-label` to the custom file upload `#dropZone` to make it discoverable by screen readers and focusable via keyboard.
Implements `click`, `keydown` (Enter/Space), `focus`, and `blur` event listeners to allow full keyboard interaction and map focus states to the existing visual drag-and-drop highlight.
Documents the custom dropzone accessibility pattern in `.Jules/palette.md`.
