Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The README changes improve screen-reader behavior for layout tables and decorative artwork. A bounded merge-readiness risk remains because the file may fail an enforced first-line-heading lint rule, so merge is appropriate with owner follow-up. Possibly related PRs

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:
- Consider double-checking that the tables marked with role="presentation" never contain actual tabular data, since this role will prevent them from being announced as data tables by assistive technologies.
- Using both an empty alt attribute and aria-hidden="true" on the decorative SVG images is slightly redundant; you could simplify by relying on just aria-hidden if you prefer while keeping the same accessibility behavior.

Resolve the first-line heading warning.
The decorative-image attributes are correct. However, the README still starts with an image, so markdownlint reports MD041. If this check is required, place the document’s top-level heading before the image or configure MD041 for this intentional banner layout.

💡 What: Added
role="presentation"to<table>elements used for layout, and converted decorative edge SVGs to<img>tags witharia-hidden="true".🎯 Why: Because GitHub Markdown lacks grid/flexbox support, developers often use
<table>elements for layout. Screen readers misinterpret these as complex data tables.📸 Before/After: Visual presentation is identical; underlying semantic structure improved.
♿ Accessibility: Prevents screen readers from announcing layout tables as tabular data, significantly reducing auditory noise. Hides non-informative decorative border images from screen readers.
