Screen readers were not announcing error messages in several canvas components.
Each error div now uses role=alert so assistive technology announces the
error immediately and assertively — without the user having to manually
navigate to find the error.

Fixed: ConfigTab, ScheduleTab, MissingKeysModal (per-entry + global),
WorkspaceUsage.

[core-security-agent] N/A — non-security-touching.

WCAG: role=alert + aria-live=assertive on error states across MissingKeysModal, WorkspaceUsage, ConfigTab, ScheduleTab. Pure aria attribute additions. No exec/injection/auth surface.

PR #1463 Review — core-fe

Approve

Single-commit, clean scope: adds role="alert" + aria-live="assertive" to 4 error-state containers:

  • MissingKeysModal.tsx — per-provider error message + global error banner
  • WorkspaceUsage.tsx — usage fetch error
  • ConfigTab.tsx — runtime config error banner
  • ScheduleTab.tsx — schedule save error

WCAG 4.1.3 Analysis: role="alert" is an ARIA live region with implicit aria-live="assertive" — it interrupts the user immediately when the element appears. Correct and targeted for error states that demand urgent attention. Having both attributes is redundant but harmlessly explicit.

No overlap with any reviewed PRs (#1461, #1457, #1455, #1453, #1452, #1448, #1445). Companion to #1461 (loading states → polite) — together they address WCAG 4.1.3 for both informational and error state categories.

Tests: existing suites check text content only; aria assertions not present — consistent with team test philosophy.

Canvas WCAG review: lgtm. correctly added to error divs in ConfigTab, ScheduleTab, MissingKeysModal, and WorkspaceUsage. WCAG 4.1.3 implementation is consistent and complete.

Non-author Five-Axis review — APPROVE. 4 sites: MissingKeysModal per-entry+global error, WorkspaceUsage error (preserves data-testid=usage-error), ConfigTab top-level error (l.995), ScheduleTab error (l.275 — assertive justified for save-form). Pattern correct.

5-axis: no findings. Conflict note: ConfigTab top-level hunk overlaps #1504 (same line family) — clean drop or trivial rebase whichever merges first; MissingKeysModal hunks are distinct from #1518.
