Every status and priority badge used its raw hue as TEXT on a 12% tint of that same hue. Measured on the dark palette, all six pairs failed the kit's own AA floor: todo 1.60:1, in-progress 1.97:1, done 2.06:1, low 2.02:1, high 2.92:1, medium 2.97:1, against 4.5. Four also failed in light mode. The cause is structural, not a bad colour pick. A 12% tint sits near the surface it composites over, so the hue as text on it has almost nowhere to go. Strengthening the tint was measured and REJECTED: on a dark palette a heavier tint moves the chip toward the light text and makes it worse. 12% was already optimal. So each pair gains a `-fg` sibling: the hue mixed toward --fs-text-primary until it clears 4.5:1 worst-case over surface-raised AND surface-hover in BOTH modes. Mixing toward that token rather than a literal is what makes one declaration cover both — it inverts by mode, so the text follows. Recorded in the DESIGN SYSTEM, not hand-written into theme.css: seven tokens on design system 2, each carrying its measurement and its reasoning, then the sheet regenerated. theme.css says not to hand-edit the --fs-* block and it is right — a hand-edit would be silently reverted by the next regeneration. The ladder keeps its shape. High priority still holds 52% saturation and medium 31% — the rungs that need to shout still shout. Low, todo and done wash toward neutral, which is what their own rationales ask for: status-todo is derived from the border colour precisely so not-yet-started recedes. Receding and illegible are different things and the old value was the second. --fs-status-cancelled-fg was found by measuring, not by reasoning. Cancelled derives from --fs-text-tertiary, which looks like the obviously-correct "quiet" choice and is a HINT colour tuned for plain surfaces — 2.63:1 on a badge tint in light mode. StatusBadge additionally dropped a `color-mix(..., #000 15%)` that darkened the hue: a light-mode instinct that made these worse on a near-black surface, and a literal besides. THE GUARD IS THE POINT. check_design_tokens.py now FAILS on any rule that paints text with a token on a tint of that same token, and names the -fg sibling as the fix. Verified by reintroducing the defect: exit 1 with it, exit 0 without. Unlike a raw literal there is nothing to weigh up, so it gates rather than reports. Two `border-top-color` uses keep the raw hue, correctly — a border is a non-text graphic and needs 3:1, which is what the hue is for. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
