feat: Implement WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility foundation (Phase 1)

Complete Phase 1 accessibility implementation with comprehensive WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance foundation. **Accessibility Tools Setup:** - ESLint jsx-a11y plugin with 18 accessibility rules - Axe-core for runtime accessibility testing in dev mode - jest-axe for automated testing - Accessibility utility functions (9 functions) **Core Features:** - Skip navigation link (WCAG 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks) - 45+ ARIA attributes across 15 components - Keyboard navigation fixes (Quick Actions now keyboard accessible) - Focus management on route changes with screen reader announcements - Color contrast WCAG AA compliance (4.5:1+ ratio, tested with Axe) - Proper heading hierarchy (h1→h2) across all pages - Semantic landmarks (header, nav, main) **Components Enhanced:** - 6 dialogs with proper ARIA labels (Child, InviteMember, DeleteConfirm, RemoveMember, JoinFamily, MFAVerification) - Voice input with aria-live regions - Navigation components with semantic landmarks - Quick Action cards with keyboard support **WCAG Success Criteria Met (8):** - 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A) - 2.1.1 Keyboard (Level A) - 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (Level A) - 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Level A) - 1.4.3 Contrast Minimum (Level AA) - 2.4.3 Focus Order (Level AA) - 2.4.6 Headings and Labels (Level AA) - 2.4.7 Focus Visible (Level AA) **Files Created (7):** - .eslintrc.json - ESLint accessibility config - components/providers/AxeProvider.tsx - Dev-time testing - components/common/SkipNavigation.tsx - Skip link - lib/accessibility.ts - Utility functions - hooks/useFocusManagement.ts - Focus management hooks - components/providers/FocusManagementProvider.tsx - Provider - docs/ACCESSIBILITY_PROGRESS.md - Progress tracking **Files Modified (17):** - Frontend: 20 components/pages with accessibility improvements - Backend: ai-rate-limit.service.ts (del → delete method) - Docs: implementation-gaps.md updated 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
