fix: label recording HUD controls for assistive technology #627

Description

@EtienneLescot

Observed

During a real Windows recording, the HUD exposes several icon-only controls without accessible names. The accessibility tree lists anonymous buttons after the timer, which makes it impossible to identify Pause, Stop and Restart reliably through keyboard/screen-reader automation.

Reproduction

  1. Start a screen recording from the HUD.
  2. Inspect the HUD through Windows accessibility / keyboard Tab navigation.
  3. Observe that the controls following the timer are exposed as unnamed buttons.

Expected

Each recording-state HUD control has a stable accessible label/description, for example Pause recording, Stop recording and Restart recording.

Environment

  • Windows
  • OpenScreen 1.11.0-rc.1, CI artifact from Actions run 34114348128
  • Manual computer-use E2E pass

The controls remain operable, but their ambiguous labels make keyboard and assistive-technology use unnecessarily difficult.
