I identified that several icon-only buttons in the main navigation components and theme toggler lacked aria-label attributes, which violates accessibility standards by not providing context to screen readers.

I've added descriptive aria-label attributes to these buttons (e.g., aria-label="Cart", aria-label="Wishlist", aria-label="Toggle theme"). I also removed the journal entry from my plan/changes to respect the negative boundary constraints regarding routine accessibility work.

…ents across the codebase.

This improves accessibility for screen reader users by providing descriptive labels for buttons that otherwise only contained icons.
Changes were made in:
- `components/ui/theme-toggle-button.tsx` (Toggle theme)
- `app/navbar.tsx` (Orders, Account, Wishlist, Cart)
- `components/layout/navbar.tsx` (Search submit/close, Wishlist, Account, Cart)

💡 Suggestions & Improvements
  • Performance: No performance impact from these changes.
  • Maintainability: Consider creating a shared constant for common aria-labels (e.g., "Cart", "Wishlist") if these labels are used across multiple components to ensure consistency.
  • Best Practices: The implementation follows WCAG 2.1 guidelines for accessible buttons. The combination of aria-label and sr-only span provides redundancy for screen readers.
