💡 What:
Added essential ARIA attributes (aria-expanded, aria-controls, and dynamic aria-label) to the mobile menu toggle button, and properly linked it via id="mobile-menu" to the mobile menu container.

🎯 Why:
Collapsible mobile menus often fail to inform screen reader users of their open/closed state or what component they are controlling. These attributes make the menu explicitly accessible and announce correctly when interacted with.

📸 Before/After:
Visually identical. Functionally, screen readers will now announce "Open menu" or "Close menu" alongside the toggled state. (See attached verification screenshot/video in build artifact).

Accessibility:

  • aria-expanded signals the state of the collapsible region to assistive technologies.
  • aria-controls explicitly links the toggle button to the expanding menu div.
  • Dynamic aria-label provides a descriptive action verb instead of a static label.
