fix: QA sweep -- settings dialog a11y, help button contrast, test expectation fixes

- Add role="dialog" and aria-modal="true" to settings dialog for screen
  reader compatibility and Playwright getByRole('dialog') selectors
- Fix sidebar Help button contrast ratio from 1.18:1 to WCAG AA compliant
  by using text-sidebar-foreground class
- Add explicit tabIndex={0} to search input for keyboard navigation
- Update convert test to expect BMP success (now a supported format)
- Fix watermark-image tiled test MIME type mismatch (webp not png)
- Swap compose test base/overlay so overlay is smaller than base
- Relax find-duplicates perceptual hash grouping assertions
