[BUG] [alpha] Sub-Agents dialog (empty state): Right content pane has no aria-label when empty

Description

When no agent is selected, the right pane shows the empty state message ("Select an agent to view details..."). This content area has no aria-label or role to identify it as the details/content region.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Sub-Agents dialog in empty state (no agent selected).
2. Inspect the right-side flex container that shows the empty state with microchip icon and text.

Expected Behavior

The right pane has an aria-label such as "Agent details" or "No agent selected" so the region is identifiable.

Actual Behavior

The container is a plain div with no aria-label or role.

✅ Validated

VALID bug report. The screenshot/video shows the actual Cortex IDE Sub-Agents dialog with the empty state. The code at src/components/ai/SubagentsDialog.tsx lines 518-526 confirms the bug: the right content pane's empty state container (<div class="flex-1 flex items-center justify-center">) has no aria-label or role attribute to identify it as a content region for screen readers. This is a legitimate accessibility issue where the details/content area lacks proper ARIA labeling when no agent is selected. The component is properly exported and used in Session.tsx and AgentPanel.tsx, making it accessible to users. This is NOT a duplicate of issue #29498, which reports a similar issue on the LEFT sidebar (navigation region) rather than the right content pane.

I have fixed this issue as part of a batch ARIA and CSS fix PR in the Cortex IDE repository.
