💡 What: Enhanced the FormInput component with several small but critical accessibility features. Uses React 19's useId() to robustly generate stable IDs. Links the <Form.Label> to the <Form.Control>, adds an aria-invalid state based on error presence, and correctly associates error text with aria-describedby and role="alert".

🎯 Why: To ensure that users relying on screen readers immediately receive context about which input they are focusing on, and clearly hear error states and messages dynamically without manual exploration.

📸 Before/After: Visuals are exactly the same. Under-the-hood DOM accessibility tags have been added.

♿ Accessibility:

  • Explicit association of inputs and labels (htmlFor -> id).
  • Real-time error announcement using role="alert".
  • Focus contextualization using aria-describedby.
  • Semantic invalid state marking using aria-invalid.
