Description

On the lifecycle documentation page, the details of the lifecycle are presented as images of text with no text alternatives for accessibility. In fact, they are hidden completely with alt="".

Surely this info can be presented instead in nested lists or a simple table and be just as effective.

Research direction

Open the lifecycle documentation page and locate the source for the lifecycle-detail images, which currently use alt="". Replace the image-only presentation with accessible text, nested lists, or a table, then verify that the lifecycle details are available to screen readers and remain understandable on the rendered page.
