The axe-core v1 reporter adds a failureSummary field to each result in the list of audit violations (ref). This field contains human-readable help messaging to explain changes required to resolve the situation.
While making some changes in GoogleChrome/lighthouse#10072, I noticed that this field isn't present for results marked as incomplete (this was discovered via some test expectations (ref)).
Expectation: The list of incomplete results would contain a corresponding failureSummary field.
Actual: failureSummary is only populated for violations
Motivation: Assuming it's possible to populate the field for incomplete results, this field could be useful for client libraries to display help messaging to inform developers/designers on how to resolve potential accessibility issues.
