Subject: [PATCH] feat(a11y): add context-specific aria labels to demo UI table
 actions

Provides context-specific `aria-label` attributes to repetitive action buttons and links in the viewer demo UI session history table, using the row's document filename to improve screen reader accessibility.

 ## 2026-07-13 - Async Table Actions UX
 **Learning:** Adding explicit loading and disabled states to table action buttons that invoke asynchronous processes helps prevent redundant API calls and visually assures the user that their request is being handled.
 **Action:** Consistently apply `disabled` state and `Loading...` text changes to inline table action buttons linked to async workflows, and carefully preserve underlying DOM structures with `Array.from(btn.childNodes)` during the loading cycle to avoid rendering regressions.
+## 2026-07-18 - Context-specific ARIA labels for table actions
+**Learning:** Repetitive table action buttons or links (e.g., 'Details', 'Open') without context-specific labels are highly confusing for screen reader users, who hear the same generic text repeated for every row.
+**Action:** Always provide dynamically generated, context-specific `aria-label` attributes that include row-specific identifiers (like the filename) for repetitive table actions.
