Research direction

Start from the demo page at /django-pattern-library/demo/render-pattern/patterns/pages/forms/example_form.html and locate the template producing body > main. Run the referenced axe landmark-no-duplicate-main check against that page, then adjust the markup so the violation is gone. Add a regression test if the repository’s accessibility test setup supports it, and verify no new accessibility issues appear.
