Accessibility
- Fighter images use each fighter’s name as their alt text.
- The Hit and Rematch controls are buttons with visible text labels.
- HP values are displayed as text alongside the health bars; the component labels those values “HP.”
- The latest battle message and round are presented in an alert region.
