Actual:

Screen reader does not announce the current selection state (selected/unselected/pressed) for extension tags buttons such as: "Light and display”, “Software”, “Science”, “Robotic”, “Gaming”, “Networking”.

Expected Result:

Screen reader should announce the selection state of each extension tag button, such as: “Selected” / “Not selected”. This ensures users can understand which "Extension tags" are currently active.

User impact:

Screen reader users are unable to identify which tags are selected, causing confusion. Users might accidentally select or deselect tags, which can affect filtering or configuration.
