ARIA Attribute Issue

Actual Results

When screen reader users navigate to the "User Profile" expandable button, it is incorrectly announced as a menu button. This occurs because the aria-haspopup="true" attribute is inappropriately applied to the "cgoyal" user profile expandable button.
As a result, screen reader users receive inaccurate information about the button's role and functionality.

Expected Results

ARIA attributes should be appropriately used with correct semantics and its unnecessary usage should be avoided.

The "User Profile" expandable button should be announced by the screen reader with its correct role and functionality and should not be identified as a menu button.
In this case, remove the aria-haspopup="true" attribute from the <button> element containing the "cgoyal" user profile expandable button.
