Reproduce the revealjs deck at 1440x900 and 320x568, then inspect src/resources/formats/html/axe/axe-check.js, especially the document and console reporters and revealUnhideSlides(). Compare that behavior with src/command/call/axe/scan.ts and the json reporter. Done means the desktop report and quarto call axe expose the grey text and footer-link contrast failures at every listed viewport.

Bug description
In a revealjs deck, the axe option reports no color-contrast results at desktop viewports. It does report them at a narrow viewport, such as 320x568. The same gap occurs in quarto call axe.
At desktop sizes, reveal.js puts the slide backgrounds in a separate .reveal .backgrounds layer. This layer is behind the slide text, but it is not an ancestor of the text. As a result, axe cannot find the background color. It marks each text node as "incomplete" with the bgOverlap message: "Element's background color could not be determined because it is overlapped by another element".
The document and console reporters show only result.violations (document, console). The json reporter prints the full result, so the incomplete nodes are there, but they are not marked as a problem (json). quarto call axe requests only violations (scan.ts). Thus, contrast failures in revealjs are not visible.
At 320x568, reveal.js changes to scroll view. In scroll view, the backgrounds are inside the slide, and axe can find the color.
Before the scan, revealUnhideSlides() removes hidden and aria-hidden from the slides. It does not change the backgrounds layer.
Steps to reproduce

format:
revealjs:
axe:
output: document
footer: "[quarto.org](https://quarto.org)"
---
## Slide
See [the Quarto website](https://quarto.org).
[This grey text fails contrast.]{style="color: #ccc"}
Preview and navigate to Accessibility Report slide.
Actual behavior
At 1440x900, the report shows no color-contrast findings. axe marks five nodes as incomplete: the heading, the body text, the grey text, the body link, and the footer link.
| Viewport | color-contrast violations |
Incomplete nodes |
|---|---|---|
| 1440x900 | none | 5 |
| 1050x700 | none | 5 |
| 1000x660 | none | 5 |
| 320x568 | grey text (1.6:1), footer link (4.43:1) | 0 |
Expected behavior
The report shows the two contrast failures at all viewports: the grey text at 1.6:1 and the footer link at 4.43:1.
