Pull request overview
This PR addresses an accessibility issue where multiple Activity landmarks with role="complementary" lacked unique labels, making them indistinguishable for screen reader users. The fix adds a unique aria-label to each Activity landmark that either uses the activity's title (if it's a string) or falls back to a numbered label pattern.
Changes:
- Added
aria-labelattribute to therole="complementary"container in Activity.tsx - The label uses the activity title when it's a string, or defaults to "Activity N" format

The implementation is incomplete and does not provide a fallback label when title is not a string, leaving complementary landmarks without unique labels in that case.
According to the PR description, the code should "fall back to a deterministic Activity N label when no string title is provided," but currently when title is not a string (including when it's undefined), aria-label will be set to undefined, effectively not providing any label.
This means that in scenarios like the "Basic" story where activities are created without titles, the complementary landmarks will still lack unique labels, failing to address the accessibility issue from #4385.
The aria-label should be computed to always provide a value, for example:
aria-label={typeof title === 'string' ? title : `Activity ${index + 1}`}
This would ensure every complementary landmark has a unique, accessible name as required by WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.1 (Bypass Blocks).

@Sagar-6203620715 this seems like a good suggestion.

There is a discrepancy between the PR description and the actual implementation. The PR description states:
"Falls back to a deterministic Activity N label when no string title is provided"
However, the code sets aria-label to undefined when the title is not a string, which means no fallback label is actually provided. This discrepancy should be addressed by implementing the fallback behavior described in the PR.

Similar to the other comment, I think this is a good suggestion. What do you think?

Please look at the open comments about providing a name when title is missing.
