+//   1. Light-theme axe-core scan — no NEW critical/serious violations vs baseline
+//   2. Dark-theme axe-core scan  — no NEW critical/serious violations vs baseline
+//   3. Pixel-diff smoke (1280×900) against baseline-PNGs in
+//      tests/e2e/snapshots/. Threshold maxDiffPixelRatio: 0.02.
+//
+// SC1 backup verification (autoritativ er manuell SC1-checklist Step 31).
+// SC2 authoritative verification (axe-core).
+//
+// Baseline policy (v4.3 Sesjon 6 NEXT-SESSION-PROMPT recovery): the voyage
+// playground HTML is FROZEN in Sesjon 6. Wave 7 = VERIFICATION ONLY, not
+// FIX. Existing critical/serious violations are recorded as baseline
+// (rule-id + node-count fingerprint) in tests/e2e/snapshots/a11y-baseline.json.
+// The test fails only when:
+//   (a) A new violation rule-id appears, OR
+//   (b) A known rule's node-count increases.
