This is great, thank you! My only question is about the timeout that is set in announce. As far as I can tell timeouts that are set are not cleared on unmount or when announce is called repeatedly. Does it make sense to add cleanup logic to handle potential race conditions? |

I think that's right, maybe we need to keep track of the timer id, and clear the timer when we update the content + on unmount via a useEffect cleanup function? |

This PR addresses issue #866.
After a button is pressed and the associated action is performed, a span container with aria-live is updated with a status message. This allows screen readers to announce feedback, ensuring that users receive confirmation when an action is completed.
