How to reproduce the issue:
The theme switcher button near the search at the top of the page does not have any title (tooltip) defined, nor an aria label. This makes it potentially confusing for sighted users who must infer its purpose from the icon, and opaque to visually impaired users who are told only that it opens a menu. Adding a title can help on desktop by allowing users to check what the button does before interacting with it.
The missing title also applies to the GitHub link. Although this icon is more recognisable, I'd still suggest adding a title for clarity.
The icon itself for the theme switcher is also confusing when set to "system" (the default). It may be better to swap it out for the light or dark icon, depending on what the system is currently set to, as these icons are more recognisable.
The previous docs did include a tooltip for this button:
