axe rule: image-alt · impact: critical · tag: wcag2a (1.1.1)
Target: <img class="separator-image" src="data:image/png;base64,...">
The profvis htmlwidget injects decorative separator images in its status bar without an alt attribute, failing the axe image-alt rule. These are purely decorative — alt="" would resolve it.
Root cause is upstream in rstudio/profvis. Tracking this in Quarto so we notice recurrences; a separate issue will be filed at https://github.com/rstudio/profvis.
