Final WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit of the frontend dashboard

[Gbangbolaoluwagbemiga]

Overview

Run a full WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audit across the frontend dashboard (scan, playground, terminal, settings, dashboard pages) and fix any blocking issues before mainnet launch.

Background / Context

frontend/docs/accessibility-audit.md and frontend/docs/accessibility-findings.md already exist, suggesting a prior partial audit. This issue is the final, comprehensive re-check timed to the mainnet release, closing any remaining findings.

Goal

A clean (or fully-tracked-with-no-blockers) accessibility audit report, with automated axe-core checks added to CI to prevent regression.

Scope of Work

1. Re-run and update frontend/docs/accessibility-audit.md against the current UI.
2. Fix all remaining blocking (Level A/AA) findings.
3. Add automated axe-core accessibility checks to the Playwright E2E suite to prevent regressions.

Out of Scope

• AAA-level conformance — AA is the target.

Acceptance Criteria

• No outstanding Level A/AA findings.
• Automated accessibility check added to CI.
