<a aria-disabled="true"> is the documented pattern but screen readers still announce "Previous, link, disabled" on pagination bounds — noise users don't need because the disabled state is purely visual. Switching to <span aria-hidden="true"> removes the bound control from the AT tree entirely (Leonie's recommendation). Visual parity preserved via a disabledBase Tailwind class (same layout + cursor-not-allowed + opacity-40). Tests updated: "disabled prev/next" assertions now check for aria-hidden and no href — the active-state href/aria-current assertions are unchanged.
