Description

The block that contains the "SPAWN AGENT" heading and the template buttons is a logical group but has no role="group" or aria-label to associate the heading with the controls.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Sub-Agents dialog in empty state.
2. Locate the wrapper div (class "p-3") that contains the "SPAWN AGENT" text and the 2x2 template grid and Custom Agent button.

Expected Behavior

The section has role="group" and aria-label="Spawn agent" (or the visible heading referenced via aria-labelledby).

Actual Behavior

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

✅ Validated

VALID accessibility bug confirmed in src/components/ai/SubagentsDialog.tsx. The "SPAWN AGENT" section (the div with class="p-3" at approximately line 320) contains the heading, template buttons grid, and "Custom Agent" button, but lacks role="group" and aria-label attributes. This is a legitimate WCAG violation that affects screen reader users. The video evidence clearly shows the DOM structure missing these accessibility attributes. Component is accessible via Session.tsx and AgentPanel.tsx. NOT a duplicate of #29498 (left sidebar) or #29491 (dialog header) as they concern different UI elements.
