runAll() did not include the contrast check — it simply wasn't in the list — and
touch targets sat behind an opt-in flag nothing passed. So "the audit is clean"
has meant nine checks rather than eleven for a long run of rounds, and the two
left out are the two whose faults a dealer meets in a dim room with their thumb.
Both were written, tested, and then never called; the contrast checker was built
across two rounds and every sweep since has been silent about colour.
The standalone runner had a second version of the same hole: the 44px rule
stands itself down where `hover: hover` says there's a pointer, and a headless
desktop browser is a pointer, so a single pass had never measured a touch target
at any viewport. It now runs every viewport twice, once with a mouse and once
with a thumb.
A check that decides it doesn't apply now says so, rather than reporting an empty
offenders list — which reads exactly like a pass.
Faded text is measured instead of filed as unchecked. `opacity` on a box fades
the box and its text together onto whatever is behind it, so a dimmed seat is not
grey text on a dark puck: it is a faded puck and faded text both landing on the
page. Both halves are composited that way now. Two exemptions remain and both say
so out loud: a disabled control, which WCAG itself excuses, and a link inside a
sentence, whose size is set by the line it sits in.
What running them found, and this round fixes:
- the chair number on every seat: #8a8a8a at 9px, 3.39:1 once the empty seat's
fade is composited, on the label that answers "which seat is that?";
- Quick Split's amount field at 37px tall and its delete button at 30px across,
on a page whose targets had never been measured;
- and on a 360x640 phone with the bar grown by a side pot, the bottom seat
sitting 38px inside it.
That last one brings back a cap this project measured and rejected once: capping
the felt to the room left fixed the six-seat ring and broke the nine-seat one.
That trade was real then and isn't now — seats are spaced by distance around the
rim rather than by angle, so a shorter felt no longer piles them up. Re-measured
across 30 combinations of five phone sizes and 2 to 12 seats: every one clean
except twelve seats at 360x640, where a 240px felt and a 64px puck cannot both be
true. Where the rim can't give each seat a puck's width, the pucks come down a
size, measured from the rim itself rather than from a media query.
