This PR introduces several micro-UX and accessibility improvements focused on the Changelog and overall site navigation:

💡 What:

  • Changelog Empty State: Implemented a new empty state that appears when filters or search queries yield no results in the Changelog. Includes localized strings in site.json.
  • Accessibility Polish: Added aria-hidden="true" to decorative background particles (<canvas>), grid beams, and console header dots across the site.
  • Search UX: Refined search input aria-labels to exclude keyboard shortcut hints while maintaining them in the placeholder, reducing noise for screen reader users.
  • Feedback Loop: Added aria-live="polite" to empty state containers to ensure assistive technologies announce result changes.
  • Compatibility: Replaced .replaceAll() with global regex replacements in shared JS assets to ensure stability in environments like Cloudflare Workers.

🎯 Why:

  • Users filtering the changelog currently see a blank page without feedback when no results match.
  • Decorative elements were creating unnecessary clutter for screen readers.
  • Modern ES features were causing potential build/execution failures in specific environments.

Accessibility:

  • Improved screen reader feedback via aria-live.
  • Reduced cognitive load by hiding non-semantic decorative elements.
  • Cleaner ARIA labels for search inputs.
