<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. (#316)
