feat(ui): add semanticsLabel to StreamAvatar / Group / Stack

[xsahil03x]

Summary

• Adds optional semanticsLabel to StreamAvatar, StreamAvatarGroup, and StreamAvatarStack.
• null (default) composes through — placeholder / children speak per their own contract.
• Non-null exposes the widget as a single labeled image node and drops descendants (initials, icons, +N overflow badge) from the semantics tree.

Linear tickets

• Contributes to FLU-590 — channel list item announces avatar initial and repeats content without context. Closed by the downstream chat-side PR feat(ui): channel-list & message-preview accessibility pass stream-chat-flutter#2827.

Test plan

• flutter test in stream_core_flutter — new avatar / group / stack tests pass.
• Manual pass with TalkBack / VoiceOver on a fixture app.

Warning

Review limit reached

@xsahil03x, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 55 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Avatar accessibility semantics

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Individual avatar semantics packages/stream_core_flutter/lib/src/components/avatar/stream_avatar.dart, packages/stream_core_flutter/test/components/avatar/stream_avatar_test.dart	StreamAvatar accepts an optional semanticsLabel; non-null labels expose a labeled image and exclude placeholder initials, with widget tests covering default, excluded, and labeled behavior.
Group and stack semantics packages/stream_core_flutter/lib/src/components/avatar/stream_avatar_group.dart, packages/stream_core_flutter/lib/src/components/avatar/stream_avatar_stack.dart, packages/stream_core_flutter/CHANGELOG.md	Avatar groups and stacks accept optional labels that collapse child and overflow semantics into one labeled image node; the changelog documents the behavior.
Group and stack accessibility tests packages/stream_core_flutter/test/components/avatar/stream_avatar_group_test.dart, packages/stream_core_flutter/test/components/avatar/stream_avatar_stack_test.dart	Widget tests verify child-label propagation, parent-label semantics, and suppression of overflow badge semantics.

packages/stream_core_flutter/lib/src/components/avatar/stream_avatar.dart (1)

214-256: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Extract the repeated Semantics-wrap block into a shared helper. The same if (props.semanticsLabel case final label?) { ... Semantics(label: label, image: true, excludeSemantics: true, child: x) ... } block is copy-pasted identically in all three widget files.

• packages/stream_core_flutter/lib/src/components/avatar/stream_avatar.dart#L214-L256: extract this block into a shared Widget wrapWithSemanticsLabel(Widget child, String? label) helper (or similar) and call it here.
• packages/stream_core_flutter/lib/src/components/avatar/stream_avatar_group.dart#L172-L213: call the same shared helper instead of duplicating the block.
• packages/stream_core_flutter/lib/src/components/avatar/stream_avatar_stack.dart#L212-L245: call the same shared helper instead of duplicating the block.

♻️ Example helper

Widget wrapWithSemanticsLabel(Widget child, String? label) {
  if (label == null) return child;
  return Semantics(
    label: label,
    image: true,
    excludeSemantics: true,
    child: child,
  );
}
