🎨 Palette: Enhanced accessibility for Header and Nav components

💡 What: Added ARIA labels to icon-only buttons in the Header and proper ARIA roles/states to Nav tabs. Also made the wallet tooltip keyboard-accessible via focus.

🎯 Why: Screen reader users could not identify the purpose of icon-only buttons or the state of tabs. Keyboard users could not access the wallet tooltip to copy addresses.

♿ Accessibility: Added aria-label, role="tab", aria-selected, and focus-within support for tooltips.

Summary of Changes

Hello @Dexploarer, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the accessibility of the application's Header and Navigation components. By incorporating ARIA labels, roles, and states, it ensures that screen reader users can better understand the purpose of interactive elements and the current state of navigation tabs. Additionally, it addresses a critical accessibility gap by making tooltips keyboard-operable, improving usability for all users.

Highlights

  • Header Accessibility: Added aria-label attributes to icon-only buttons in the Header component to improve screen reader identification.
  • Navigation Accessibility: Implemented proper ARIA roles (role="tab") and states (aria-selected) for navigation tabs in the Nav component.
  • Keyboard Accessible Tooltips: Made the wallet tooltip keyboard-accessible by adding group and group-focus-within:block Tailwind classes, ensuring it can be accessed via focus, not just hover.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • .jules/palette.md
    • Added a new documentation entry detailing the importance and implementation of keyboard-accessible tooltips using Tailwind CSS.
  • apps/app/src/components/Header.tsx
    • Added aria-label attributes to the 'Start agent', 'Resume agent', 'Stop agent', 'Restart agent', and 'Open command palette' buttons.
    • Modified the wallet wrapper to include the group class and the wallet tooltip to use group-focus-within:block for keyboard accessibility.
  • apps/app/src/components/Nav.tsx
    • Added role="tab" and aria-selected attributes to the navigation buttons to define them as tabs and indicate their selection state.

Lack of Error Handling for Handler Functions

The event handlers (handleStart, handlePauseResume, handleStop) are invoked directly without any error handling. If any of these functions throw an exception, it could result in an unhandled error and a degraded user experience. Consider wrapping these calls in a try-catch block or ensuring that the handler functions themselves handle errors gracefully. For example:

onClick={async () => {
  try {
    await handleStart();
  } catch (err) {
    // Display error to user or log
  }
}}

This will make the UI more robust against unexpected failures.

Code Review

This pull request significantly improves the accessibility of the Header and Nav components. You've added necessary ARIA attributes to icon-only buttons and navigation tabs, and made the wallet tooltip keyboard-accessible, which is great.

I've left a few comments with suggestions to further enhance accessibility and code consistency. Specifically, I've pointed out a missing role='tablist' in the Nav component which is crucial for the tab pattern, suggested removing redundant title attributes in the Header to prevent issues with screen readers, and recommended a more consistent way to handle hover/focus states for the wallet tooltip.

Overall, these are excellent changes that make the UI more usable for everyone.

To avoid redundant announcements by screen readers, it's best to remove the title attribute from these buttons. The aria-label you've added is sufficient for providing an accessible name. The title attribute can cause some screen readers to read the label twice (once from aria-label, once from title). Furthermore, the title attribute is not a reliable or accessible way to provide tooltips for keyboard and touch users.

For consistency, it's better to handle the hover state for the tooltip using Tailwind's group-hover variant, just like you're using group-focus-within for the focus state. This keeps the component's logic self-contained and avoids mixing Tailwind classes with separate CSS file rules for similar behavior.

Using group-hover:block here would also allow you to remove the related CSS from styles.css (lines 141-142), including the !important flag, which is generally a code smell.
