…loses CalloraOrg#683) Add a visually hidden aria-live="polite" region that announces call status changes to screen reader users, satisfying WCAG 4.1.3 (Status Messages). Tracks previous status with a useRef so announcements fire only on actual changes, not on unrelated re-renders. Tests added: - Announces status changes through the live region - Does not announce when status stays the same
