The copy button on code blocks had no accessible name, so screen readers announced an unlabelled button. Add an aria-label that flips to Copied, and type=button so it never submits a surrounding form.

Problem
The copy button on every code block (
src/components/CopyButton.tsx) has only an icon, so assistive tech announces an unnamed button (WCAG 4.1.2).Fix
Add
aria-label("Copy code", flipping to "Copied" so the state change is announced) andtype="button".Verification
npx tsc --noEmitandpnpm run lintclean. Inspect any code block:button[aria-label="Copy code"].Related: #1994 (sidebar toggle labels) and #1996 (landmarks) covered the other unnamed controls.
