Research direction
Inspect components/billing/entity-combobox.tsx at lines 212–214 and 225–229. Confirm the keyboard-highlighted option gains font-medium and the “No matches” div gains aria-live="polite"; verify the resulting markup and keyboard state distinguish the option and announce the message.

Description
Bug
In the entity combobox, the highlighted (keyboard-focused) option only changes background color. Text color and font weight are identical to non-highlighted options. Users with color vision deficiency cannot distinguish which option is currently selected via keyboard.
The "No matches" message also has no aria-live attribute, so screen readers don't announce it.
Location
components/billing/entity-combobox.tsx lines 212–214, 225–229.
Fix
- Add
font-mediumto the highlighted option class so it differs by weight, not just color. - Add
aria-live="polite"to the "No matches" div.
Severity
Medium — accessibility issue; affects colorblind users and screen reader users.
