[dependabot]

Bumps pa11y-ci from 3.1.0 to 4.0.0.

Release notes

Sourced from pa11y-ci's releases.

v4.0.0

Pa11y CI 4.0.0 requires a stable (even-numbered) Node.js version of 20 or above, updates to the latest version of Pa11y (9) and Puppeteer (24), updates several other dependencies, and includes some GitHub actions and documentation cleanup. See the migration guide for details.

Changes

• Breaking: Upgrade Node.js support: Pa11y CI 4 requires a stable (even-numbered) Node.js version of 20 or above, dropping support for Node 12, 14, 16, 18.
• Breaking: Upgrade pa11y to 9 (from 6), which updates numerous dependencies, fixes issues with Pa11y CI failing to run on Ubuntu 24.04, and resolves several vulnerabilities and deprecated packages (closing #198, #227, #242, #247).
  • Upgrade puppeteer to 24 (from 9.1), which updates to the current Chrome. This changes Chrome's default headless mode, see the migration guide for details. Also expand the puppeteer dependency compatibility to caret (patch and minor releases) to allow upgrades to a more recent compatible version upon install (which frequently contains Chrome updates and security patches).
  • Upgrade axe-core to 4.10 from 4.2. This includes rule fixes that may change results when using the axe runner. See axe-core releases for complete details.
  • Upgrade semver to 7.7 from 7.3, resolving CVE-2022-25883.
• Fixed issue with pa11y-ci process hanging if browser passed from config file. (#248)
• Other dependency upgrades: commander to 14.0, async to 3.2, cheerio to 1.1, and node-fetch to 2.7.
• GitHub Actions changes: Update workflows for supported Node version, Ubuntu 24.04 compatibility, and publishing package with provenance.
• Other changes: Refactor code and tests for dependency compatibility, update support table and fix some links in the README.

See the migration guide for details.
