💡 What: The UX enhancement added

Improved accessibility and usability in the Game Detail view by correctly associating labels with form controls, adding ARIA attributes to interactive elements, and providing a way to clear the personal rating.

🎯 Why: The user problem it solves

Interactive elements lacked proper labeling for screen readers and keyboard navigation. Additionally, there was no easy way to reset a game's personal rating once it was set, as the range slider always has a value.

♿ Accessibility: Any a11y improvements made

  • Associated <label> elements with inputs using id and htmlFor.
  • Added aria-label and aria-pressed to icon-only buttons.
  • Converted decorative-only elements to semantic buttons when they are interactive.
  • Marked decorative icons and boundaries with aria-hidden="true".

🛠️ Other changes

  • Fixed a TypeScript error (unused variable) in GameScreenshotsCarousel.tsx that was blocking the production build.
  • Added missing translation keys for 'Clear Rating' in English and French.

This commit introduces several micro-UX and accessibility improvements to the Game Detail view:

1.  **Form Accessibility**: Associated all form labels (Platform, Rating, Status, Play Time, Notes, Executable Path) with their respective controls using unique IDs and `htmlFor`.
2.  **Interactive Elements**: Converted the folder path display into a semantic `<button>` for native keyboard support and better screen reader identification.
3.  **ARIA Compliance**: Added `aria-label`, `aria-pressed`, and `title` attributes to icon-only buttons (Favorite, Clear Path, Clear Rating).
4.  **Rating UX**: Added a "Clear Rating" button to allow users to reset their personal rating to a null state, which is not possible with a standard range input alone.
5.  **Internationalization**: Added the `clearRating` translation key in both English and French.
6.  **Build Fix**: Removed an unused state variable in `GameScreenshotsCarousel.tsx` to satisfy strict TypeScript linting during production build.

These changes ensure the interface is more intuitive, accessible, and consistent with the application's design system.
