+   * Run an accessibility audit against the current Playwright page using AxeBuilder.
+   *
+   * Summary:
+   * - Executes axe-core analysis on this.page.
+   * - If any violations are found, creates an output directory
+   *   (<GITHUB_WORKSPACE> or cwd)/a11y-artifacts and saves:
+   *   - a full-page screenshot: a11y-<timestamp>.png
+   *   - violations JSON: a11y-<timestamp>-violations.json
+   *   - page HTML: a11y-<timestamp>.html
+   * - Logs the saved artifact paths and the violations to stderr.
+   * - Fails the test by asserting that there are no accessibility violations.
+   *
+   * Notes:
+   * - Timestamp uses ISO format with ":" and "." replaced by "-" to make filenames safe.
+   * - The workspace path is resolved from process.env.GITHUB_WORKSPACE or falling back to process.cwd().
+   * - This method performs file I/O and may throw if the runner/user has no write permissions.
+   *
+   * How to view the screenshot from a GitHub Actions run:
+   *
+   * After the workflow completes, open the workflow run in the GitHub Actions UI,
+   *    download the "a11y-artifacts" artifact, extract it, and open the PNG file locally.
+   *
+   * @remarks
+   * - Intended to be used inside an e2e test/page object where `this.page` is a Playwright Page.
+   * - The final expect will cause the test to fail when violations are present, making CI fail fast.
+   *
+   * @returns Promise<void> resolving when analysis, artifact creation, and the assertion complete.
