Improve Alt Text for Images Across Components #2654

@kasya

Description

@kasya

Some images currently use empty strings ('') or generic fallback values as alt text, which provides no meaningful context for screen reader users.

Screen reader users cannot understand the content or purpose of certain images, especially when the image is primary content (e.g., avatars).

Acceptance Criteria

  • All images must have meaningful, descriptive alt text.
  • Decorative images can use alt="".
  • Informative images (avatars, logos, content images) must include descriptive alt text.
  • Alt text should not repeat surrounding text unnecessarily.
  • This will probably require updating some tests.
