The raw accent fails AA as text on every dark surface, not only on its
own tint: 3.04:1 on the page, 2.70 on iron, 2.21 on slate, against 4.5.
accent-fg (the house formula, 45% toward parchment) measures 5.62 at
worst across both modes. The operator chose the readable colour over the
signature teal for text, on 2026-10-08.
- 36 sites swap. They are 35 Tailwind uses: links, "Now playing", the
ingest progress line, active shuffle/repeat, the liked heart, the app
download icon and its hover. The last is the alphabet rail's pending
spinner in CSS. Icons follow the text: as graphics they need only
3:1, and the raw accent misses even that on iron.
- check-tint-contrast adds accent to TEXT_NEVER_RAW, so a new raw
text-accent or color: var(--fs-accent) fails the web lane. Run against
the files before the swap, it finds all 36. Borders, rings and fills
keep the raw accent.

Raw error red fails AA as text even with no tint behind it: in dark mode
it measures 3.63:1 on obsidian, 3.23 on iron and 2.64 on slate, against
4.5. error-fg (the house formula, 50% toward parchment) measures 5.30 at
worst across both modes.
- All 19 text-error uses become text-error-fg: the "Couldn't load"
messages on the admin pages, the integrations form errors, the flag
popover, and the error toast's text. The toast keeps its error border,
since a border is a graphic with a 3:1 floor.
- check-tint-contrast flags raw error text anywhere (text-error,
class:text-error, color: var(--fs-error)) and leaves borders and
outlines alone. Run against the files before the swap, it finds all 19.

A hue painted as text on a color-mix tint of itself sits close to the
surface under it. On Minstrel's surfaces the raw accent on its 15% tint
measures 1.97:1 at worst (dark mode, hover surface), against AA's 4.5.
- tokens.json gains colors.fg: the five FabledSword -fg formulas (accent
45%, success 45%, warning, error and info 50%), each mixed toward
parchment so one declaration serves both modes. Success is Minstrel's
moss. tokens-to-css emits them in :root.
- Tailwind exposes them as text-accent-fg, text-warning-fg, text-error-fg
and text-info-fg.
- 23 sites swapped: 14 Tailwind class strings (PlayerBar and the admin
count pills) and 9 CSS rules (StatusPill's four tones and five accent
chips). Worst case after: accent-fg 5.03, error-fg 4.75, warning-fg
4.92, success-fg 4.85.
- scripts/check-tint-contrast.js finds the pair in either spelling. Its
test scans src in the web Vitest lane and fails on any new site, with
fixture cases showing it can fail.

The Flutter client (#356) needs to consume the same FabledSword tokens
the web SPA uses. Move the data into a structured tokens.json file and
generate tokens.generated.css from it on every Vite build. The Flutter
side gets its own generator pointed at the same JSON.
No visual change — generated CSS matches the previous hand-written file.
Also installs @types/node devDependency: tsconfig already declared
"types": ["node"] but no Node builtins were referenced in TS until now,
so the missing types were latent. The new vite.config.ts plugin imports
node:child_process, surfacing the gap.
