💡 What: Added accessibilityInformation to the VS Code StatusBarItem to ensure that screen readers can correctly interpret the status bar content. This updates dynamically whenever the text or tooltip is changed (e.g. during a score refresh or an error state).
🎯 Why: Status bar items relying on shorthand text (CDD: 85/100) and icons ($(shield)) lack context for screen reader users. Adding explicit labels transforms raw text into spoken phrases like "CDD Score: 85 out of 100, Grade B, Good", greatly improving accessibility for visually impaired developers.
📸 Before/After: Visual change is not present, changes are purely for screen-reader/assistive technologies.
♿ Accessibility: Ensures that StatusBarItem has a descriptive label and a clear role (button) to announce the current Canonical-Driven Development score comprehensively rather than parsing plain text strings.
