…strict accessibility validation (elastic#237627) ## Summary - Remove use of `checkA11y({ skipFailures: true })` across `Cypress` tests and enforce strict accessibility validation so that accessibility violations cause test failures. - This change ensures accessibility regressions are caught by CI rather than silently skipped. ## Why - Using `skipFailures: true` masked accessibility problems and allowed regressions to slip into main branch. - Enforcing strict accessibility checks improves product quality and aligns tests with accessibility-first goals. ## What was changed - Replaced occurrences of `checkA11y({ skipFailures: true })` (and equivalent patterns) so that accessibility checks run without the `skipFailures` flag. - Fixed or adjusted places where necessary to make test suites pass with strict a11y checks (small target adjustments to code to fix violations) ## Depends on - elastic/eui#9100 (cherry picked from commit 00b3e4a)
