Implemented a localized empty state for the Changelog search and improved overall page accessibility.

UX Improvements:

  • Users now see a clear, localized message ("No changes found" / "Изменения не найдены") when search or filter results are empty, preventing confusion.
  • Reused existing .reworking-container design pattern for visual consistency.
  • Optimized search performance by moving DOM and i18n lookups outside the filtering loop.

Accessibility Fixes:

  • Marked decorative background particles with aria-hidden="true" to reduce screen reader noise.
  • Improved the search input's aria-label by removing keyboard shortcut hints ((/)), which are better suited for the placeholder to avoid redundant announcements for screen reader users.

Verification:

  • Verified localized states and accessibility attributes using a Playwright script.
  • Confirmed that the empty state correctly triggers for both EN and RU locales.
