Describe the bug

We introduced a few TODOs while working on the last huge accessibility updates. This is the issue to track them.

Also do:

  • Test the alt text for links vs. interactive elements, in both live region and active descendant label
    • I.e. use axe-core to retrieve AXNode tree and snapshot it
  • Add core-js/features/map polyfill

Research direction

Locate the recent accessibility-update TODOs and the code paths for link and interactive-element alt text. Use axe-core to inspect the AXNode tree for live-region and active-descendant labels, then verify the core-js/features/map polyfill is included; done means those checks pass and the TODOs are resolved.
