fix(a11y): suppress disabled-control contrast findings on the rule
WCAG 1.4.3 exempts inactive components from contrast requirements, so Inspect's Run button — disabled until a domain is typed — was reporting a contrast failure that was never a real defect. The first attempt typed a domain to enable the button. That worked for the single-screen test but raised the keyboard, which then followed the audit onto every later screen in the Dynamic Type sweep and reported nine phantom hit-region findings per screen against the system emoji picker's category buttons. Suppressing on the rule instead — drop contrast findings whose element reports isEnabled == false — fixes it everywhere with no UI manipulation. Also documents that simulator keyboard state persists across runs, so a dirty simulator inflates the burndown with system-UI findings. Erase and re-run before believing anything that names system UI.

-- **Disabled controls are a false positive.** WCAG 1.4.3 exempts inactive
- components from contrast requirements, but the audit flags them anyway. The
- Inspect screen's Run button is disabled until a domain is typed, and auditing
- the empty state reported a contrast failure that was never a real defect —
- which is why `testInspectScreen` types a domain before auditing. Watch for
- this before "fixing" a contrast finding on a disabled control.

- Audits retry up to three times. Slower machines can miss the audit's internal
deadline (`Audit failed to complete in time`, code `-56`), which is a tooling
timeout, not an app defect. A screen that still cannot be audited is reported
