Description
from a11y-audit #5165
automated axe testing found not all form elements had labels. Manual testing showed there was visible instruction with all of them, so it will be an issue with how the text is marked up.
refer to WCAG 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions
This needs to be done alongside axe testing to ensure all examples are found.

Research direction
Start with the accessibility audit from #5165 and run the automated axe testing across all examples, comparing failures with the visible instructions described here. Update the markup so every form element has a label or correctly marked instruction, then confirm axe reports no missing labels in line with WCAG 3.3.2.
