Main's staging E2E has been red since #90. Two of the four failures were the staging container serving a stale image at the moment the gate ran — apple-icon and the header lockup both check out against staging now. The other two were real, and both are the same mistake: a colour pairing verified against one ground while the element sits on another. * .heroEyebrow --brand on its own 10% tint over Sand is 4.19:1. The token clears AA on Sand, but the tint darkens the ground under the label, and that composite was never the thing measured. --brand-strong is 5.85:1. * .hiwVisual The preview panel was grounded in Sand while everything inside it is a translucent status tint — and those tints are specced to clear AA over --bg-card. Over Sand the report-card chips landed at 4.22:1 and 4.29:1. The ratio depended on a background two levels up. Moving the panel to the card surface puts them at 5.69:1 and 5.81:1; a border keeps it reading as an inset frame now that panel and card share a colour. * Footer .sectionTitle --sage flips with the theme; the footer band does not (it is teal in both). So the pairing only held in one of them — the dark sage measured 4.08:1, on every page. Now --on-sunken-muted, which is what the --on-sunken-* family exists for, as Footer.tsx's own header comment already says. * .compareHeadLabel --text-muted on the header row's tint is 4.45:1 in the dark theme. Under by a hair, same cause. Now --text-secondary. The harness gained the footer, because it had no footer and so could not have caught the one failure that appeared on all three pages. Rewriting fragments now uses each CSS module's own hash — the footer rewritten with HomeView's prefix renders unstyled, which would have made any contrast measured on it meaningless while still reporting a number. Verified: 0 AA failures in both themes across the assembled page, measured with the same probe the e2e test uses, against the real compiled CSS. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
