💡 What:
Changed the non-semantic <div class="welcome-action-card"> elements on the welcome screen to <button type="button" class="welcome-action-card"> and stripped native browser button styles using appearance: none; and CSS resets. Added :focus-visible ring.

🎯 Why:
Interactive UI components that act as buttons should use the semantic <button> tag to allow native keyboard navigation (Tab key) and screen reader identification without requiring complex role and tabindex attributes.

📸 Before/After:
(See PR screenshots for identical visual presentation but with an added primary color outline when receiving keyboard focus)

♿ Accessibility:

  • Action cards are now naturally accessible via standard keyboard navigation.
  • Action cards now support native Space/Enter activation patterns.
  • Screen readers will correctly identify these cards as interactive buttons rather than generic groups.
  • Added a clear :focus-visible state using a 2px primary-colored outline to assist keyboard users in tracking their position.
