Description

For example, I don't see an easy way to add alt-text to images I've uploaded. I hope it's something obvious I just goofed on and didn't notice.

Research direction

Determine how alt text could be provided and identify the full set of accessibility gaps. Done means the required changes and their verification criteria are clearly scoped.
