Adds role="status", aria-live="polite", and aria-atomic="true" to the toast notification component to ensure dynamic status messages are announced to screen readers. This fixes WCAG 4.1.3 (Status Messages) Level AA violations where toast notifications appeared dynamically but were not programmatically determinable as status messages.

Summary
Fixes WCAG 4.1.3 (Status Messages) by adding ARIA live region attributes to the
z-toast-notificationcomponent.Issue: The email verification toast notification displayed after registration uses a custom
<z-toast-notification>web component that lacks ARIA live region properties. The message appears dynamically but is not programmatically determinable as a status message, preventing screen readers from announcing it.Solution: Added
role="status",aria-live="polite", andaria-atomic="true"attributes to the Host element in the toast notification component.Changes
src/components/z-toast-notification/index.tsxrole="status"- Identifies the element as a status messagearia-live="polite"- Announces changes when the user is idlearia-atomic="true"- Announces the entire message as a single unitTest Plan
