Remove the skipViolationsAssert option from runAccessibilityTests in both packages/app and packages/app-legacy e2e test utilities. The function now always asserts that axe-core finds zero WCAG violations, making accessibility checks enforced rather than advisory.

Changes:

  • Remove skipViolationsAssert parameter from the options type and
    the conditional guard in both acessibility.ts files
  • Remove { skipViolationsAssert: true } from all call sites in
    both custom-theme.spec.ts files
  • The expect assertion now runs unconditionally after every axe scan

Note: Pre-commit hook failed due to pre-existing lint errors (@backstage/no-undeclared-imports for @playwright/test in packages/app e2e-tests). These errors exist on main and are not introduced by this change. Playwright e2e tests require a running app and browser, so they could not be executed in this sandbox. Manual verification of CI=1 yarn test:e2e is required to identify and fix any remaining a11y violations surfaced by the now-enforced assertions.


Closes #3591
