Approved for 0.7 (D-063). It's a first step toward the 1.0 "Accessible" item.

Run the axe accessibility checker (@axe-core/playwright) in the browser tests, starting with the views 0.7 builds or changes: the channel thread list, the thread chat, the inbox and the composer. It's cheaper to build them accessible than to fix them later.

Serious and critical findings fail the run. Everything else is reported.
The other views get a list of known findings that only shrinks.
In the thread chat, new messages are announced politely (aria-live), and the list is navigable with the keyboard.

Tests: an axe step in the specs for those views.

Verified, merged in #310; main green (run #550).

@axe-core/playwright 4.13.0 (pinned) through e2e/tests/axe.ts: serious and critical findings fail the test, the rest show as annotations.
The 0.7 views are checked with nothing allowed: thread list, thread chat, inbox, compose, and "Mina trådar". The other views (login, reader, settings, directory, search, profile) are checked in a11y.spec.ts against axe-known.json, which is empty: nothing is known to fail.
Fixed along the way: avatar and chat-meta contrast, times inside buttons as plain text (no nested buttons), lang on the page from the chosen language, the chat as a log region read out politely, grouped messages reachable by keyboard, and a profile list that showed texts with no recipients.
Full suite, all three profiles, locally and on CI.
Also in this branch: a chosen channel view could be undone by a late default (see #286).
