Closes #4777

Fix repeated accessible name caused by image alt text duplicating visible link text.

This change treats decorative images inside interactive cards as presentational when the link already contains sufficient visible text, preventing screen readers from announcing the same link text twice.

Changelog

Changed

  • Mark homepage card images as decorative by removing their alt text when the surrounding link already provides a clear accessible name.
  • Prevent redundant accessible name computation for interactive cards containing both text and images.
