This PR addresses an accessibility issue where several informational tooltips in the Dashboard and Settings panels were completely inaccessible to keyboard navigators and screen readers.

💡 What:

  • Converted the decorative <Info> icons that triggered tooltips on hover into focusable <button type="button"> elements.
  • Applied aria-label attributes to the buttons (e.g., "Disk space protection info").
  • Added aria-hidden="true" to the decorative Lucide <Info> components.
  • Switched from Tailwind's group-hover:visible strategy to peer-hover:visible peer-focus:visible.

🎯 Why:

  • Users relying on keyboard navigation (Tab key) could not reach or trigger these important tooltips.
  • The change makes the micro-UX more inclusive while perfectly matching the existing visual design and animation patterns.

♿ Accessibility:

  • Keyboard focus now naturally lands on the info icons.
  • Screen readers will announce the button's purpose instead of ignoring the interactive element or reading raw SVG code.
  • Tooltips are exposed correctly via role="tooltip".

Files Modified:

  • frontend_v2/src/components/dashboard/DiskSpaceWidget.tsx
  • frontend_v2/src/components/dashboard/MonitorStatusWidget.tsx
  • frontend_v2/src/components/settings/ConfidenceModeSwitcher.tsx
  • frontend_v2/src/components/settings/RollbackPanel.tsx

feat(a11y): Make dashboard and settings tooltips keyboard accessible
a110f79 
Wrapped hover-only `<Info>` icons in focusable `<button>` elements with clear `aria-label`s and `aria-hidden="true"` on the decorative SVG. Converted `group-hover` Tailwind classes to `peer-hover:visible peer-focus:visible` with `role="tooltip"` to ensure proper visibility for both mouse hover and keyboard focus navigation.
