📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates Playwright accessibility configuration and documentation. It migrates selected accessibility specs to shared fixtures and helpers, including scoped scans and graph-data stub controls.

Changes

Accessibility test fixture migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared accessibility configuration and guidance cmd/ui/playwright.a11y.config.ts, cmd/ui/tests/README.md	The configuration adds shared scan scope, graph-data stubbing, and navigation settings. The README documents setup, execution, reporting, fixtures, filtering, and spec authoring.
Profile accessibility spec migration cmd/ui/tests/a11y/Profile/profile.a11y.spec.ts	The Profile suite uses shared fixtures, goAndWaitFor, and checkA11y while retaining existing scopes and attachment prefixes.
Page accessibility spec migration cmd/ui/tests/a11y/api-explore.a11y.spec.ts, cmd/ui/tests/a11y/download-collectors.a11y.spec.ts, cmd/ui/tests/a11y/login.a11y.spec.ts	The page specs replace manual Axe handling with shared helpers. Login disables the graph-data stub and performs a full-page scan.
