The product card image had no place to store alt text, so the rendered image could never be described to screen readers. This adds the property to the shared node definition so the renderer, parser and editor can build on it.
Product card images rendered with no alt attribute at all, which accessibility checkers flag and screen readers read as the file name. The attribute is now always present, empty when unset so the image is treated as decorative, and escaped so quotes in alt text cannot break the markup. The email golden post carries an alt value so the Core email snapshot proves the attribute renders end to end.
HTML import and pasting product card markup dropped the image alt attribute because the parser never read it. Reading it keeps alt text intact for posts imported from HTML and for round trips through the rendered markup, which the html-to-lexical test now covers. The escaping fixtures also include angle brackets.
Both mobiledoc/lexical directions copy card payloads generically and the content importer's media inliner only rewrites URL and HTML fields, so no code change is needed for the new productImageAlt property. These tests pin that behaviour so a per-card property map added later cannot drop it.
Editors had no way to describe a product card image, and the preview hardcoded a placeholder alt. The node's alt text now flows down to the image component, which shows an Alt toggle at the bottom-right of the image while the card is in edit mode. Clicking it reveals an uncontrolled input under the image, so the caret does not jump while typing; the toggle stacks under the settings panel when they overlap, exposes its pressed state, and the input has an accessible name. Removing the image clears the alt so a replacement never inherits a stale description. The interaction mirrors the image card's existing Alt toggle.

WalkthroughProduct cards now store image alt text in Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Product-card image alt text is now stored and rendered across editor and publishing flows, but an open Alt field can retain stale text after an external editor update and overwrite the newer description on a later edit. This is a bounded editor data-integrity issue that should be corrected before relying on the new editing flow. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

It doesn't look like Koenig is currently using Zod, so that would be out of scope and will need to happen along with the rest of the nodes. I'm thinking way out of scope for this PR, right? |
This behavior is identical to the image alt text editor and other TextInput behavior. There may be a genuine edge case here, if you can get the editor into a state where the input is not focused, yet fire an undo in it, but if there is, it's present in the regular image card too. Not in scope. |

The PR adds alt text support to the Koenig product card image.
What changed
Release intent: kg-default-nodes and koenig-lexical need a minor bump; kg-html-to-lexical and kg-converters don't need a release since they're tests only.
No changes to rating star rendering. Separate PR needed.
Aside: I considered refactoring to share the "alt" pill with the image card, but it meant touching the Image card, and the intended behavior is not quite identical, since this is an alt field that appears, rather than replacing the caption field.
