Daneel 3093053131 Fix VO cursor sync: post FocusedUIElementChanged on self not emacsView
The notification was posted on self.emacsView (the NSView container).
VoiceOver called accessibilityFocusedUIElement on the view, got back
the same buffer element, and did not re-anchor its browse cursor.

Fix: post on self (the buffer element itself).  When VoiceOver receives
NSAccessibilityFocusedUIElementChangedNotification from an element that
is already focused, it silently re-queries accessibilitySelectedTextRange
and re-anchors its browse cursor without re-announcing the element name.

Covers all emacsMovedCursor granularities (arrow keys, M-f/M-b, C-n/C-p
via the separate isCtrlNP path).

Subject: [PATCH 8/8] ns: announce child frame completion candidates for
VoiceOver
Completion frameworks such as Corfu and Company-box render candidates
in a child frame. This extends the overlay announcement support to
handle child frame popups.
* src/nsterm.m (ns_ax_selected_child_frame_text): New function; scan
a child frame buffer line by line using Fget_char_property to find the
selected candidate; uses record_unwind_current_buffer for safety.
(EmacsView announceChildFrameCompletion): New method.
(EmacsView postAccessibilityUpdates): Detect child frames via
FRAME_PARENT_FRAME; call announceChildFrameCompletion. Post
NSAccessibilityFocusedUIElementChangedNotification on the parent buffer
element when a child frame completion closes.

** VoiceOver accessibility support on macOS.
Emacs now exposes buffer content, cursor position, and interactive
elements to the macOS accessibility subsystem (VoiceOver). This
-includes AXBoundsForRange for macOS Zoom cursor tracking, line and
-word navigation announcements, Tab-navigable interactive spans
-(buttons, links, completion candidates), and completion announcements
-for the *Completions* buffer. The implementation uses a virtual
-accessibility tree with per-window elements, hybrid SelectedTextChanged
-and AnnouncementRequested notifications, and thread-safe text caching.
+includes:
+- Line and word navigation announcements via standard movement keys.
+- Echo area messages (e.g., "Wrote file", "Git finished") announced
+ automatically as they appear, without user interaction.
+- VoiceOver rotor cursor synchronization after large programmatic
+ jumps (]], M-<, xref, imenu, etc.).
+- Tab-navigable interactive spans (buttons, links, completion
+ candidates) within a buffer.
+- Completion announcements for the *Completions* buffer and overlay
+ and child-frame completion UIs (Vertico, Corfu, Company-box).
Set 'ns-accessibility-enabled' to nil to disable the accessibility
interface and eliminate the associated overhead.
