Description

I'm not sure if anyone else if having this issue. However, when running cy.checkA11y three times, with the following params:

cy.checkA11y(null, null, null, {skipFailures: true});

it's causing the Cypress test to freeze all together with no failures

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze in Cypress with three or more calls to cy.checkA11y(null, null, null, {skipFailures: true}). Trace the cypress-axe command and axe-core interaction to determine what changes on the third invocation. Done means repeated calls complete without freezing and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
