CommentAnchorLink only revealed on hover, so a focused button had no visible indicator (WCAG 2.4.7), and its accessible name was the "#" character via title. Add focus-visible:opacity-100, swap title for aria-label, hide the glyph from assistive tech, and announce the copied state via a live region.

changed the title
AgentPostmortem#66 landed first and added a "Failed" state to the same button this branch makes accessible, so the two collided on one line. Resolved by combining them rather than picking a side: the visible span still shows Copied / Failed / #, and the sr-only live region now announces "Failed to copy" as well as "Copied". Taking either side alone would have dropped one of the two fixes.

Nice work @waterlemonnn, this is merged. agentpostmortem gets better every time someone outside the repo digs in like this. If you find agentpostmortem useful, consider dropping a star. It helps more people find it. Happy to see more from you whenever you have the time. |

Closes #28.
CommentAnchorLinkincomponents/post/CommentsSection.tsxwas only revealed ongroup-hover, so a keyboard user tabbing to it focused an invisible control with no visible focus indicator (WCAG 2.4.7). Its accessible name was also just the#character viatitle, which isn't a reliable accessible name and isn't surfaced on touch/keyboard.focus-visible:opacity-100alongside the existinggroup-hover:opacity-100so focus reveals the button.titlewitharia-label="Copy link to this comment", and wrapped the visible#/Copiedglyph inaria-hidden="true".aria-live="polite"sr-onlyspan that announces "Copied" when the state flips, so screen reader users get feedback too.Test plan
