a11y job fails looking for proof-a11y.json

[Peeja]

Describe the bug

In a new design system, the a11y CI job fails with `Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'proof-a11y.json'.

To Reproduce

1. Follow the Getting Started instructions to generate and set up a new design system.
2. Run CI.

Expected behavior

Something would tell me what proof-a11y.json and how to create it (or create it for me).

I assume this is just something missing in the docs?

I'm running into the same issue. Here is the full output of the a11y job:

Hey, sorry for the lack of replies so far on this thread. This error is caused by proof, our test runner. When you run --ally it creates a proof-ally.json file with the results. If your tests crash that file may not exist. @Peeja were you using CircleCI as well? We might just need to update the CircleCI default pipeline to not try to open that file if it doesn't exist.

@tylerkrupicka Yep, that was on CircleCI.
