The editor's rating took only clicks. It now takes Tab focus with a teal ring, steps with the arrow keys, jumps with Home, End and the digits, and clears with Delete. Screen readers read it as a Usefulness slider whose value is the rating's word.
Each is now a live region that stays in the window and takes the message as its name. Avalonia's peers don't report a name change, which is what Windows listens for, so AccessibleNames reports it for live regions. Checked with UI Automation on Windows: the error and a toast each raised LiveRegionChanged with their text.
Every heart was read as "Favorite", whether the prompt was one or not. It's now "Add to favorites" or "Remove from favorites", in its tooltip and for screen readers.
It kept the same words and chevron either way. Open, it reads "Hide details" with a downward chevron, in error dialogs and on the startup error.
The Run tab's steps run across in a row, but Previous and Next showed up and down arrows. Adds Lucide's arrow-left to the generated icons.
