Follow-up from PR #115 (running text), agreed with the owner on 2026-10-29.

The reading pane has no accessibility labels yet. In running mode, each paragraph is a read-only rich-text TextEdit (selectByMouse: false, activeFocusOnPress: false), which may not be exposed to a screen reader the way a Text is.

Ubuntu Touch currently ships no usable screen reader, so this can't be checked on the phone. Check on desktop instead: clickable desktop with Orca.

Scope:

Accessible.role / Accessible.name for verse rows and running-text paragraphs (the verse reference plus its plain text).
The footer buttons (Back, the reference, the Bible button, ⋮) get names.
Verify with Orca that both modes read the text in order and that the verse numbers read as numbers.
