From the anti-slop run (design-dev, 2026-09-28). Faded is not legible:
opacity divides whatever contrast a line had.
- Review arrows: the chip under the thin chevron is 82% dense, not 60%;
the glyph now clears 7:1 over a white stage by colour (was 3.84:1), and
reads at pixel level where the detector sampled a 2.9:1 median.
- Filmstrip numbers, the marks' state stamp and the inline ask's state tag
are labels at 11px (were 9.5 / 10.5 / 10.5px).
- The Desk's section rules, the board note and the bench note are
sentences at 12px.
- Retired benches: no opacity; the link and URL take --text-muted.
- Embed chrome: answered-ask details and the "recorded:" line inherit the
host's text colour at full strength (the embed cannot know the host's
palette); the notes placeholder inherits it at 75%, not the UA grey.
Folded from the heid bug-hunt: the embed's ask title no longer fades
either (Q9), and the legibility claims are also held on the browser's
COMPUTED style (tests/test_antislop_s2_browser.py): a stylesheet grep
cannot see a later rule in the cascade (font-size:1px, color:transparent,
filter:grayscale, a placeholder at opacity:0); the browser can.
Folded after the first gate run: the flagged tray's number, the tile's
"flagged" stamp and compare's A/B badge were still under the 11px label
floor; they take --size-micro too. Two film-number rows are re-anchored
on the .film-ord selector: the tray's line is now identical to it, and
the runner mutates the first match.
