πŸ’‘ What: Added ARIA attributes (role="log", aria-live="polite", and aria-busy="isSending") to the chat timeline container in ChatTimeline.vue and implemented an auto-scrolling feature using a Vue ref and watcher.
🎯 Why: Screen readers previously could not easily interpret updates in the dynamically changing chat log, and users were forced to manually scroll when new chat messages arrived, leading to a frustrating user experience.
πŸ“Έ Before/After: Visual regression screenshot provided in playwright verification shows functional UI (auto scroll happens dynamically).
β™Ώ Accessibility: role="log" and aria-live="polite" ensure screen readers passively announce new content to users without interrupting them aggressively, significantly improving access for visually impaired users.

πŸ’‘ What: Added ARIA attributes to the chat timeline and implemented an auto-scrolling feature on new messages.
🎯 Why: Screen readers could not easily interpret updates in the dynamically changing log. Additionally, users were forced to manually scroll when new chat messages arrived, leading to a frustrating UX.
β™Ώ Accessibility: Added `role="log"`, `aria-live="polite"`, and `aria-busy="isSending"` to ensure screen readers announce new content effectively.
