User description

💡 What: Added accessibilityLabel, aria-invalid, and aria-errormessage props to the native TextInput inside the reusable Input component.
🎯 Why: The component accepted label and error props but only rendered them visually. Screen reader users were unable to hear the input's context or its error state programmatically.
♿ Accessibility: Ensures full screen reader support for any form field using this reusable Input component.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Make reusable input fields announce labels and errors to screen readers

What Changed

  • Input fields now pass their label to assistive technology so screen reader users hear the field context
  • Inputs with errors now expose an invalid state and connect the error message to the field
  • Visual labels, required markers, and error text stay the same for sighted users

Impact

✅ Clearer form field announcements
✅ Fewer missed input errors
✅ Better screen reader form navigation

Suggestion: aria-errormessage must reference the ID of an existing error element, but this passes the human-readable error text directly. As a result, assistive tech cannot resolve the relationship and the error announcement will fail; generate a stable ID, pass that ID to aria-errormessage, and assign the same ID (via nativeID/id) to the rendered error text node. [api mismatch]

Severity Level: Critical 🚨
- ❌ Screen readers cannot programmatically associate input error text.
- ⚠️ Error messages not reliably announced for invalid fields.
- ⚠️ Accessibility of web forms using Input degraded.
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Open `frontend/src/components/ui/Input.tsx` and note the `TextInput` definition at
lines 116-120 where `aria-errormessage={error}` is set (line 120) but the error text
element below at lines 137-140 (`<Text>{error}</Text>`) has no `id` or `nativeID`.

2. Open `frontend/src/components/Input.stories.tsx` and inspect the `AllStates` story at
lines 21-40 where an `Input` is rendered with `error="This field is required"` (lines
29-32), causing the `error` prop to be passed into `frontend/src/components/ui/Input.tsx`.

3. Run the Storybook or app on a web target using a screen reader, navigate to the “With
Error” input from `AllStates` in `Input.stories.tsx`, and trigger validation so `error` is
non-empty and rendered.

4. Inspect the rendered DOM for the input: the `TextInput` element has
`aria-errormessage="This field is required"` (from
`frontend/src/components/ui/Input.tsx:120`), but no element in the DOM has a matching
`id`/`nativeID`, so assistive technology cannot resolve the ARIA relationship and will not
programmatically associate the field with its error message.
