Pre-existing test debt — not caused by Memo 060.
The Pagefind library renders a search input without a visible label:
```html
<input class="pagefind-ui__search-input" type="text" placeholder="Search" title="Search" ...>
```
Axe-core flags this as `label-title-only` (serious impact): "Only title used to generate label for form element."
Affected tests (all in tests/a11y/):
- mobile-menu.a11y.spec.mjs (3 tests)
- not-found.a11y.spec.mjs (1 test)
- search-modal.a11y.spec.mjs (4 tests)
Total: 8 tests fail on chromium-desktop, 8 more on mobile-safari = 16 failures.
Options:
- Wrap Pagefind input with
<label> in our search modal integration
- Exclude
.pagefind-ui__search-input from axe scan (lossy but pragmatic)
- Patch Pagefind upstream (not realistic)
Recommendation: Option 1 for the modal-open scan, Option 2 for the page-level scans.
Surfaced during Memo 060 Phase 9 CI verification. Not blocking the rollout — the search input is functional, just a11y-imperfect.
