💡 What: Added ARIA attributes to progress indicators, for attributes to form labels, and robust keyboard/mouse interactions + focus states to the file drop zone.
🎯 Why: Makes the UI fully accessible to screen readers, ensures keyboard-only users can navigate and trigger file uploads, and improves general discoverability.
♿ Accessibility:

  • Correctly paired <label> to inputs.
  • Converted an interactive div (#dropZone) into a proper accessible component.
  • Made dynamic progress updates available to assistive technology.

This commit introduces several micro-UX accessibility improvements:
1. Adds `for` attributes to form labels to correctly associate them with `<select>` inputs.
2. Converts the `#dropZone` into an accessible button by adding `tabindex="0"`, `role="button"`, and `aria-label`.
3. Ensures keyboard users can interact with `#dropZone` via `Enter` and `Space` keydown events.
4. Makes the whole dropzone clickable, guarding against event bubbling from inner controls.
5. Ties the existing `highlight`/`unhighlight` visuals to `focus` and `blur` events for clear visual focus indicators.
6. Updates `#progressBar` with dynamic `aria-valuenow` attributes.
7. Uses `aria-live="polite"` to dynamically announce text status changes.
