Enhance accessibility, security, and focus states for dynamic release links on the What's New page (src/pages/whats-new.astro). Adds target="_blank", rel="noopener noreferrer", and unique aria-label attributes to release card links while providing explicit :hover and :focus-visible styling matching the site's Northern Lights aesthetic.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Release links now open securely in new tabs, include contextual ARIA labels, and share explicit hover and keyboard-focus styling across rendered and fallback states.

Changes

Release link accessibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Secure and labelled release links
.Jules/palette.md, src/pages/whats-new.astro
Fallback and dynamically rendered GitHub release links now use target="_blank", rel="noopener noreferrer", and contextual accessible labels.
Shared release link interaction styling
src/pages/whats-new.astro
Release links and status links now share color, spacing, underline transitions, hover states, and :focus-visible outlines.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7e682

Dynamically generated release links may lack the intended hover and keyboard focus-visible styles, reducing interaction clarity and accessibility on the What's New page. The selector scoping should be corrected before merging.

Copy-only review. The CSS and rel/target are out of my lane. The new strings are the aria-labels.

They read fine, but they hide the visible link text from assistive tech. Put the version in the visible label and skip aria-label unless it adds something the text does not already say.

Update visible release link text to `View ${release.version} on GitHub` and
remove redundant aria-labels as requested in code review. Ensures consistent
and accessible link text for all visitors without redundant ARIA overrides.

Make the release-link selectors global.

The scoped <style> block does not match anchors created with document.createElement('a'). Apply :global(...) to both selector groups so hover and :focus-visible styles work in populated and unavailable states.
