Steps to Reproduce

Screenshot
Actual Results
Decorative images have been given descriptive alternate text such as "PROJ" and "Test Project" in the table in the main content area which was found to be unnecessary as they do not convey any additional or important information to screen reader users.
Expected Results
Decorative images should be skipped by the screen reader. Provide empty alt attribute i.e., alt="" for the mentioned decorative images.
Code Example:
<img alt="" src="/projects/PROJ/avatar.png?s=48&v=1739159039487" aria-describedby="aui-tooltip">
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available.
