💡 What: Added semantic markup, ARIA attributes, and focus rings to the DrilldownNavigation component.
🎯 Why: To make the progressive disclosure and drilldown discovery pattern fully accessible to screen reader and keyboard-only users. Previously, dynamic changes were not announced, there was no semantic breadcrumb navigation, and focus states were not visible.
📸 Before/After: Verified via Playwright screenshots to ensure visual alignment and focus state styling.
Accessibility:

  • Added <nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">
  • Added aria-current="step"
  • Added aria-live="polite"
  • Added aria-hidden="true" to decorative icons
  • Added high-contrast focus-visible rings for keyboard navigation.

- Replaced inner `div` wrapping breadcrumbs with semantic `<nav aria-label="Breadcrumb">`
- Added `aria-current="step"` dynamic attribute to the active breadcrumb item
- Added `aria-live="polite"` to the dynamic "Level X of Y" progress indicator so updates are announced to screen readers
- Hid decorative chevron icons from assistive technologies using `aria-hidden="true"`
- Applied `focus-visible` styling (`focus-visible:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-neutral-400`) to all interactive buttons for clear keyboard navigation states
- Added a UX learning entry to `.Jules/palette.md`
