Description

## ACT Rule
- **ACT Rule ID:** [0va7u6](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/act/rules/0va7u6/)
- **Rule Name:** HTML images contain no text

## Blocker
This rule checks that images do not contain embedded text. Detecting text within images requires OCR or image analysis capabilities, which are not available in a DOM-only scanner.

Related to #350.

Research direction

Start by reading the ACT rule 0va7u6 and the related issue #350. Confirm whether the project has added OCR or image-analysis capabilities since this issue was filed; done would require a defined way to detect embedded text in images despite the stated DOM-only limitation.
