[accessibility-review] Icon-only header controls have no accessible names

[github-actions[bot]]

Problem

The header sidebar toggle and the mobile-only Feedback link expose only icons to assistive technology. The sidebar toggle has no accessible name or state, and the mobile Feedback link contains no text or aria-label. A screen-reader user cannot determine what either control does.

WCAG 2.2

• 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A): interactive controls must expose a programmatic name and, for the toggle, its current state.
• 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A): meaningful icon-only content needs an equivalent text alternative.

Evidence

EssentialCSharp.Web/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml:92-97:

<button id="sidebar-toggle-button" class="menu-btn has-tooltip" type="button">
    <i class="fa fa-bars fa-lg icon-light"></i>
    <span class="tooltip-text sidebar-tooltip-text"><b>Ctrl + M</b></span>
</button>

The tooltip only exposes the shortcut and is not an accessible label. The button should have a stable accessible name such as aria-label="Toggle navigation" and an aria-expanded/aria-controls relationship updated with the sidebar state.

EssentialCSharp.Web/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml:130-134:

<a class="d-md-none" target="blank" href="https://github.com/IntelliTect/EssentialCSharp.Web/discussions/new?category=feedback-and-ideas">
    <span class="fa fa-solid fa-comment icon-light fa-lg"></span>
</a>

Add visible text or an aria-label such as Send feedback; mark the decorative icon aria-hidden="true".
