----------------------------+-----------------------------------------
The admin changelist action counter updates dynamically when selecting or
deselecting rows, but the updates are not explicitly announced as live
content for assistive technologies.
This can make it harder for screen reader users to perceive selection
count changes while performing bulk actions.
Proposed fix
Mark the counter as a polite live region and atomic:
aria-live="polite"
aria-atomic="true"
Patch summary
Updated django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/actions.html:
Added aria-live and aria-atomic attributes to .action-counter.
Added regression test in tests/admin_views/tests.py:
test_actions_counter_is_live_region
Why this is safe
Markup-only accessibility enhancement.
No behavior or JavaScript logic changes.
Existing UI behavior remains unchanged.
