Solution

Elements with role=‘dialog’ or role=‘alertdialog’ (and native <dialog>) must have an accessible name. Add aria-label with a descriptive label, or use aria-labelledby pointing to a visible heading inside the dialog. A title attribute also works but is less preferred. Without a name, screen reader users won’t know the purpose of the dialog.
