36976	Make action selection counter on admin list pages announce changes	David Ansa	David Ansa	"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."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	contrib.admin	6.0	Normal	fixed	accessibility	aamir_official Elias Stinson	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	1	0
