💡 What

This PR adds a localized empty state to the Changelog search and enhances accessibility across the Changelog and Examples pages.

🎯 Why

Previously, when a user searched the changelog and found no results, the list simply disappeared, leaving the page looking "broken" or empty without explanation. This change adds a themed, pulsing empty state (following the project's existing "reworking" pattern) to provide clear feedback.

♿ Accessibility

  • Screen Reader Feedback: Added aria-live="polite" to empty state containers so that assistive technology automatically announces when no results are found.
  • Clean Labels: Removed the (/) keyboard shortcut hint from the search input's aria-label, keeping it only in the placeholder to provide a cleaner experience for screen readers.
  • Localization: Added proper English and Russian strings for the new empty state.

📸 Before/After

  • Before: Searching for a non-existent version in the changelog resulted in a blank white space.
  • After: Users now see a localized "No changes found" message with a themed pulsing icon.

🧪 Verification

Verified using a local Python server and Playwright scripts to confirm:

  1. Search input functionality and shortcut accessibility.
  2. Empty state visibility and localization.
  3. aria-live behavior for dynamic updates.
