Remove role="log" which has implicit aria-live="polite" per WAI-ARIA spec. Messages are announced via explicit announce() calls, so the implicit live region caused duplicates.
Move announceOutputLine() call from inside setState updater to the callback. React StrictMode double-invokes updater functions to detect impure reducers, causing duplicate announcements.
