Most modals rendered a folds Dialog/Modal with no role and no name, and
their focus traps used `initialFocus: false`, so focus stayed behind the
modal and a screen reader never announced it.

- 32 dialogs with a visible heading: role="dialog", aria-modal,
  aria-labelledby → the heading (given an id), tabIndex=-1.
- 4 dialogs that already had a name (Leave Room, room topic viewer,
  server ACL, room-nav prompt): role + aria-modal.
- Their focus traps drop `initialFocus: false` for focus-trap's default
  (keep an already-focused autoFocus field, else the first tabbable
  element) with the dialog itself as fallbackFocus, so a dialog without
  a tabbable node can't crash the trap. Traps that live in a parent
  (UIA stages, Logout, Forward, Invite) get the semantics only.
- The file drop overlay is deliberately left alone (not a dialog).

Checked at runtime: Join with Address, Delete Message, Report Message,
Leave Room and Logout open as named dialogs with focus inside and close
with Escape (Tab first when a text field has focus — the shared
stopPropagation keeps Escape from discarding typed text, by design).
The axe e2e spec (6 tests) passes; eslint warnings unchanged (46).
17 modals with no heading (image/file viewers, loading screens) remain.
