Description
A Tab ARIA role was found to be missing the required parent Tablist roled element. Without the appropriate tablist parent element, assistive technologies such as screen readers cannot correctly interpret the structure of the tablist and its inner tabs.

How to fix
Ensure that each tab aria role element (e.g., [role='tab']) is correctly nested within a parent tablist element (e.g., [role='tablist']). This nesting is crucial for assistive technologies to properly interpret the structure of the tablist and its nested tabs.
