Description

What is this about?

Problem

Status messages ("Capture a screen first", "Couldn't save that", etc.) update visually but aren't announced to assistive tech.

Where to look

  • index.html#status element (~613)
  • index.htmlflash() function (~1121)

Acceptance criteria

  • Status region uses aria-live (polite for info, assertive for errors if appropriate)
  • Busy/success/error messages are announced
  • Idle/default status doesn't spam announcements

Skills needed

One HTML attribute + small JS tweak.
