aria-hidden="[state]" .s-toast Informs assistive technologies (such as screen readers) if they should ignore the element. When applied to .s-toast, Stacks will use this attribute to show or hide the toast. (Source)

role="alertdialog" .s-toast The wrapping content area of an alert. Elements with the alertdialog role must use the aria-describedby attribute to reference the alert message within the dialog. (Source)
role="status" .s-notice A form of live region which contains advisory information but isn't important enough to justify an alert role. Elements with a status role have an implicit aria-live value of polite and implicit aria-atomic value of true.
