Description

The 2x2 grid of template buttons (Code, Research, Test, Review) is a logical group but the grid container has no role="group" or aria-label to describe the set of controls.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Sub-Agents dialog in empty state.
2. Inspect the grid container (class "grid grid-cols-2 gap-2") that wraps the four template buttons.

Expected Behavior

The grid has role="group" and aria-label="Agent templates" (or similar) so the group is identifiable.

Actual Behavior

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

✅ Validated

VALID bug report. The screenshot/video authentically shows the Cortex IDE Sub-agents dialog with a DOM inspector revealing the missing accessibility attributes.

Source file verified: src/components/ai/SubagentsDialog.tsx (line 394)

Code confirms the bug: The grid container <div class="grid grid-cols-2 gap-2"> wrapping the four template buttons (Code, Research, Test, Review) has NO role="group" and NO aria-label attribute. This is a legitimate accessibility violation that prevents screen readers from identifying this logical group of controls.

Not a duplicate: While similar to issue #29502 (which is about the SPAWN AGENT section container), this issue specifically targets the inner grid container that wraps the template buttons - a distinct UI element requiring its own fix.

The component is fully accessible to users through the standard UI, and the bug is confirmed by both the visual evidence and the source code.

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