💡 What: Added keyboard accessibility to the #dropZone element, making it focusable and mapping Enter/Space and general click interactions to open the file selection dialog. Mapped visual highlight functions to focus and blur events.
🎯 Why: File upload dropzones are often inaccessible to keyboard users and typically only the inner button is clickable. This change makes the entire dropzone interactive and keyboard navigable, significantly improving usability.
♿ Accessibility: Added tabindex="0", role="button", aria-label, and full keyboard interaction handlers (keydown for Enter/Space).
📸 Before/After: Verified visually via Playwright tests proving the new interactions apply the correct visual bg-white classes during focus.

Added keyboard accessibility (`tabindex="0"`) and semantic meaning (`role="button"`, `aria-label`) to the main file upload dropzone. Mapped JavaScript `focus`, `blur`, `click`, and `keydown` events to provide visual highlighting and trigger the file dialog safely (preventing double-triggers), allowing users to upload files via keyboard (Enter/Space) and by clicking anywhere within the drop zone.
