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).

/**
|
||||
* Asserts all token combinations meet WCAG contrast requirements for the
|
||||
* surfaces they actually render on. Rationale: outdoor + sun-glare is
|
||||
* harder than WCAG accounts for, so we aim for AAA (7:1) on the
|
||||
* surfaces text appears on, and AA (4.5:1) as the documented floor.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Surface roles:
|
||||
* bg — page background
|
||||
* surface — card / panel background
|
||||
* surface-2 — input fields, secondary cards
|
||||
* surface-3 — high-emphasis containers, skeletons, dividers
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Token roles (and which assertion groups they belong to):
|
||||
* text / text-muted — body text, appears on all 4 surfaces → AAA
|
||||
* text-faint — meta / timestamps, appears on all 4 surfaces → AA
|
||||
* accent / success — brand + positive status text → AAA on bg, surface
|
||||
* danger / warning / info — status text, on bg + surface + their -soft pill bg → AAA
|
||||
* accent-2 — button background, white text sits on top → AAA
|
||||
* *-soft — pill background, distinct from page surface (decorative)
