# 🔧 Accessibility & Compatibility Fixes

## Issues Fixed

### 1. **Accessibility: Buttons Must Have Discernible Text**

#### Problem
Buttons with only icons had no accessible text for screen readers.

#### Solution
Added `<span class="sr-only">` text to all icon-only buttons:
- Header notification button
- Header settings button
- Header user menu button
- Panel collapse toggle buttons
- Bottom panel action buttons (clear, auto-scroll, export)

```html
<button aria-label="Notifications" title="Notifications">
  <span class="sr-only">Notifications</span>
  <i class="fas fa-bell" aria-hidden="true"></i>
</button>
```

**Benefits:**
- Screen readers can announce button purpose
- Maintains visual design (icons only)
- WCAG 2.1 Level A compliance

### 2. **Accessibility: Invalid ARIA Attributes**

#### Problem
`aria-expanded="false"` and `aria-expanded="true"` were used on buttons that don't actually expand/collapse content.

#### Solution
Removed `aria-expanded` and `aria-haspopup` from buttons that don't have popup menus:
- Settings button (no popup implemented)
- User menu button (no popup implemented)

**Note:** These attributes should only be used when:
- Element has `aria-haspopup="true"` AND
- Element actually controls expandable/collapsible content

**Future:** When popups are implemented, add back:
```html
<button 
  aria-haspopup="true" 
  aria-expanded="false"
  aria-controls="settings-menu"
>
```

### 3. **Compatibility: text-size-adjust**

#### Problem
Only `-webkit-text-size-adjust` was used, missing standard `text-size-adjust` property.

#### Solution
Added both properties for cross-browser compatibility:

```css
html {
  -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
  text-size-adjust: 100%;
}
```

**Browser Support:**
- `-webkit-text-size-adjust`: Safari, Chrome (legacy)
- `text-size-adjust`: Chrome 54+, Edge 79+, Firefox, Safari

### 4. **Compatibility: Viewport Meta Tag**

#### Problem
Viewport meta tag contained `maximum-scale` and `user-scalable`, which:
- Can interfere with accessibility (users need to zoom)
- Not recommended by accessibility guidelines
- Can cause issues on some devices

#### Solution
Simplified viewport meta tag:

**Before:**
```html
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=5.0, user-scalable=yes">
```

**After:**
```html
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
```

**Benefits:**
- Allows users to zoom (accessibility requirement)
- Simpler, more standard
- Better compatibility
- Follows WCAG guidelines

### 5. **Security: CSP eval Warning**

#### Problem
Content Security Policy warning about `eval` in JavaScript.

#### Note
This is typically from:
- Vite's development mode (uses eval for HMR)
- Build tools that use eval for optimization
- Not from our application code

**Solutions:**
1. **Development:** This is expected and safe in dev mode
2. **Production:** Vite doesn't use eval in production builds
3. **If needed:** Can configure CSP headers on server
