### What happened?
Lamdatest extension is giving more detailed audits as compared to Lighthouse audits on accessibility issues.
Lamdatest :

Lighthouse:

Mainly, the contrast audits are passing in lighthouse but failing on lambdatest.
Both of them seem to use the same guidelines, WCAG.
**I filed this issue with axe-devtools, they asked me to report it on lighthouse instead.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the reported URL, Lighthouse 12.5.1 in Chrome DevTools, and the LambdaTest screenshots; compare the contrast findings against the referenced axe-core discussion. Identify which accessibility audits differ and whether the contrast result is reproducible, then document the cause or the missing Lighthouse audit coverage.
