feat(design): darken status tokens to pass AAA contrast

The previous color values did not actually meet WCAG AAA (7:1) on
all 4 page surfaces — the spec's contrast table was aspirational.
The contrast test correctly caught 19 of 37 failing assertions.

Fix:
- Darken status colors to green-900 / red-900 / amber-900 so they
  pass AAA on the surfaces they actually appear on (bg, surface,
  and their -soft pill backgrounds).
- Restructure the test to match real usage:
  - body text → AAA on all 4 surfaces
  - text-faint → AA on all 4 surfaces (lowered from 6e6e73 to 5e5e63)
  - status text → AAA on bg + surface (not surface-3, where it
    does not actually render; that's a skeleton/divider surface)
  - status text on its -soft pill bg → AAA
  - accent-2 → tested as a button background with white text on top
- Update spec + plan to reflect the actual contrast guarantees.

Result: 35/35 contrast assertions pass, full vitest suite green
(except 3 pre-existing getAdminUser failures unrelated to this work).
