Description
Check that all loading icons include appropriate accessibility attributes, such as role="status" and aria-live="polite". This will improve accessibility by informing screen readers that a resource is currently loading. Consider also verifying that any additional visual loading indicators have corresponding text or ARIA labels where necessary.

Start by locating all loading icons and other visual loading indicators in the repository, then inspect how they are rendered and whether they already expose text or ARIA labels. Done means each relevant indicator has appropriate accessibility attributes, such as role="status" and aria-live="polite", with an accessible label or corresponding text where needed.
