Subject: [PATCH] Improve accessibility for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance

- Add semantic HTML structure with proper landmarks (main, nav, header, footer)
- Implement comprehensive ARIA labels and descriptions throughout the application
- Add skip links for keyboard navigation to main content
- Enhance Vue.js components with proper form accessibility patterns
- Add live regions for dynamic content announcements (flash messages, errors)
- Improve heading hierarchy and focus management
- Add screen reader support for interactive elements
- Include multilingual accessibility labels in translation system

Changes cover both v1 (Twig/Vue.js) and v2 (Blade/Alpine.js) interfaces:
- Layout templates: semantic structure, navigation labels, breadcrumb accessibility
- Vue components: combobox patterns, form labeling, error announcements
- Flash messages: proper alert roles and live regions
- Translation keys: comprehensive accessibility labels in English

These improvements enhance usability for users with disabilities while maintaining
existing functionality and design patterns.
