Daneel bbdd0143e3 Fix patch 0008: update '-' line to match patch 0003 without 'evil'
Commit 7609922 changed patch 0003 comment from
'for evil block-cursor mode' to 'for block-cursor mode'.
Patch 0008 had a '-' (removal) line still referencing 'for evil
block-cursor mode', which git am could not find in the file ->
'patch does not apply'.

Verified locally: git am now applies all 9 patches cleanly on f0dbe25.

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.
