[GOOD FIRST ISSUE] Add aria-label to all icon-only buttons

[Priyanshu-byte-coder]

What Needs to Be Done

Audit all icon-only buttons across the app and add appropriate aria-label attributes so screen readers can announce their purpose.

Why This Matters

Icon-only buttons without labels are invisible to screen reader users. This is a WCAG 2.1 Level A requirement (1.1.1 Non-text Content).

Files to Look At

• src/components/DashboardHeader.tsx — ThemeToggle, NotificationBell, SignOutButton, KeyboardShortcuts buttons
• src/components/ThemeToggle.tsx — Dark/light mode toggle
• src/components/NotificationBell.tsx — Notification bell icon
• src/components/SignOutButton.tsx — Sign out icon button

Acceptance Criteria

• All icon-only buttons have descriptive aria-label attributes
• Labels accurately describe the button action (e.g., "Toggle dark mode", "View notifications", "Sign out")
• No visual changes to the UI
• Screen reader correctly announces button purpose

Tech Context

Look for <button> or <Button> elements that only contain an SVG icon or Lucide icon with no visible text. Each needs an aria-label prop.

Hi! I'd like to work on this issue.

I checked ThemeToggle, NotificationBell, SignOutButton, KeyboardShortcuts, UserAvatar, and the DashboardHeader menu button. These components already appear to have appropriate aria-label attributes.

Could you point me to any remaining icon-only buttons that still need accessibility labels?
