Research direction
First, use the IBM Equal Access Accessibility Checker on the Form component as described in the issue to reproduce the violations. Then, review the component's source code in the repository (likely in `src/` or `packages/core/src/`) to identify the patterns causing violations, focusing on ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, and focus management. Check the existing test files for accessibility related tests and any related issues or comments in the issue #4567 for additional context. Finally, propose specific fixes for the most common violations and discuss with maintainers in the comments.
