💡 What: Improved form label accessibility and made the custom drag-and-drop file upload area fully navigable and usable via keyboard (Tab, Enter, Space). Also improved screen reader support for the dynamic progress bar.
🎯 Why: Icon-only or custom div-based upload areas are invisible to screen readers and inaccessible to users who cannot use a mouse. Forms without linked labels create a poor experience for assistive technologies.
📸 Before/After: Visual changes map focus rings and hover states more consistently.
♿ Accessibility:

  • Form labels properly linked via for attributes.
  • #dropZone receives keyboard focus and reacts to Enter/Space.
  • Progress updates are announced via aria-live.

- Added `for` attributes to all form labels linking them to their select inputs.
- Made custom `#dropZone` keyboard accessible (`tabindex="0"`, `role="button"`).
- Added robust JavaScript event listeners for focus/blur (visual feedback) and keyboard (Enter/Space) mapping carefully to the hidden file input to prevent event bubbling and loops.
- Added `aria-live="polite"` and `aria-valuenow` attributes to the dynamic progress bar.
- Documented findings regarding custom event propagation in nested accessible drop zones in `.Jules/palette.md`.
