Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Chromium browser is buggy at narrating complex contents. That's why Web Chat disabled narration of Adaptive Cards.
Describe the suggestion or request in detail
Read AC innerText and narrate that part. This would workaround browser bug.
Describe alternatives you have considered
"Click to interact" prompt is not popular.
Narration cutoff is not desirable.

Research direction
Start by locating the Web Chat code that handles narration for Adaptive Cards and attachments, then trace how their accessible content is currently exposed to Chromium. Done means the relevant Adaptive Card or attachment content is narrated from its innerText, avoiding the reported cutoff and reducing reliance on the "Click to interact" prompt.
