Description

In a timed exam if the student has completed a question the number button for that question has a light gray background. That is too hard for low vision people to tell the difference from an unanswered question with a white background. We need a better way to show that as completed.

Research direction

Start by locating the timed exam view and the question-number controls in the TypeScript frontend, then inspect how completed and unanswered states are styled. Make the completed state clearly distinguishable for low-vision students while preserving the unanswered state, and verify the result in the timed exam view with accessibility checks.
