A11y tests in core was also discussed.

This open ticket is going to be kept as a pseudo meta as it highlights much of what covers most of what is hoped we can achieve:
✨ Automate Accessibility Checks for Core Active

πŸ“Œ Consider dropping Nightwatch in favor of Functional Javascript tests Active is a suggestion to move from Nightwatch to Playwright.

This ticket is to be the Step 1 to get Phase 1 underway to completion.
✨ Expand the a11y nightwatch coverage in Core Active

Fixing the skipped tests will be step 2.

A spreadsheet will be created to track the work.

For reference:
This documentation page covers adding A11y tests to nightwatch

Noted there are already Axe tests for Playwright which means re-creating the a11y tests should be straightforward.
