Added an initial Accessibility documentation section to establish accessibility and usability guidance within the Diamond Design System documentation.
This update introduces three foundational pages:
The content outlines the system’s accessibility approach, including WCAG 2.2 compliance, APCA-informed contrast decisions, and broader usability considerations for complex scientific interfaces.
The new structure also creates a dedicated location for future guidance covering areas such as focus states, keyboard interaction, semantic structure, screen reader support, and inclusive interaction patterns across Diamond applications.
