💡 What: Added the aria-pressed attribute to the theme toggle button and the password visibility toggle button.
🎯 Why: Icon-only toggle buttons can be ambiguous for screen reader users if they only rely on changing labels or icons. By explicitly implementing aria-pressed, screen readers will correctly announce the button's depressed/active state, improving keyboard and assistive technology usability.
📸 Before/After: Visual UI unchanged. Accessibility tree now clearly announces "pressed, false" or "pressed, true".
♿ Accessibility: Improved WCAG compliance by explicitly marking custom toggle components' boolean state.

Code Review

This pull request adds aria-pressed attributes to theme and password toggle buttons, updates build artifact hashes, and downgrades the jsdom dependency. Feedback indicates that aria-pressed is redundant when labels change dynamically, violating ARIA patterns. The review also recommends against committing hashed build artifacts and questions the significant jsdom version downgrade.

The jsdom version is being changed from 29.0.1 to ^24. This appears to be a significant version downgrade. Unless there is a specific compatibility requirement for an older version, it is recommended to use the latest stable version (currently v26.x) to benefit from security patches and performance improvements.

According to WAI-ARIA best practices, aria-pressed should not be used on buttons where the label changes to reflect the state (e.g., "切換至深色模式" vs "切換至淺色模式"). Since the label already communicates the toggle action, adding aria-pressed is redundant and can be confusing for screen reader users. It is better to either use a static label with aria-pressed or keep the dynamic label and remove aria-pressed.

The password toggle button updates its aria-label dynamically ("顯示密碼" / "隱藏密碼"). In such cases, aria-pressed should not be used as the state is already conveyed by the label change. Combining both violates ARIA design patterns for toggle buttons.

As mentioned previously, aria-pressed is redundant when the button label is updated dynamically to reflect the state.

The inclusion of hashed filenames like main-D2sAJccc.css suggests that build artifacts are being committed. These files are typically generated by build tools (like Vite) and should be excluded from source control to avoid unnecessary noise in PRs and potential merge conflicts. This also applies to the script tag on line 537.

Since the theme toggle button's label is updated dynamically in the JavaScript, the initial aria-pressed attribute should be removed to avoid conflicting with ARIA best practices for toggle buttons.

Pull request overview

This PR improves accessibility for icon-only toggle buttons by exposing their pressed/active state via aria-pressed, so assistive technologies can announce toggle state explicitly.

Changes:

  • Add aria-pressed to the theme toggle button and update it in applyTheme().
  • Add aria-pressed to the password visibility toggle button and update it when toggling password visibility.
  • Update public/index.html hashed /dist/ asset references and adjust jsdom version in package.json.

package.json now requires jsdom "^24" but package-lock.json still pins jsdom 29.0.1. This will cause npm ci to fail due to the lockfile not satisfying package.json. Either revert this change or update package-lock.json (and confirm Node engine compatibility) so both files agree.

With aria-pressed added, the button’s accessible name is still being changed to describe the next action ("切換至…模式"). For toggle buttons, ARIA APG recommends keeping the label stable and using aria-pressed to convey state; otherwise some screen readers can announce a confusing combination like “切換至深色模式, pressed”. Consider using a constant label (e.g., "主題" / "深色模式") and only updating aria-pressed (and optionally title).

Suggested change
toggleBtn.setAttribute('aria-label', `切換至${nextThemeLabel}模式`);
toggleBtn.setAttribute('aria-label', '主題');

There is existing automated test coverage for applyTheme() (tests/frontend/theme.test.js), but the new aria-pressed behavior is not asserted. Adding assertions for aria-pressed in the applyTheme test would prevent regressions in the new accessibility behavior.

The theme toggle’s initial title ("切換主題") doesn’t match the initial aria-label ("切換至淺色模式"), and JS later overwrites title to "切換至…模式". To avoid inconsistent tooltip/AT text before JS runs, consider aligning the initial title with the initial aria-label (or keeping both stable and relying on aria-pressed for state).

Suggested change
title="切換主題" aria-pressed="false">
title="切換至淺色模式" aria-pressed="false">
