Summary:
Add one always-present live region and, on each new notification, replace its text so screen readers announce it. I left the styles bare on purpose so it’s easier to test. I’ll tidy them up next.
Things I considered:
Changes:
How to test:
Enable a screen reader(Try Chrome and Safari; it works better in Safari, I don't know why.)
Trigger a toast (Perform any action that shows a notification).
Expected: VoiceOver announces the notification text once the toast appears.
Possible improvements:
-Hide the #sr-live region.
-Choose assertive vs. polite based on notification.color.
