+/**
+ * contrast.css — High-contrast mode overrides
+ *
+ * When the user's OS is set to "more contrast" (prefers-contrast: more),
+ * translucent borders, subtle background tints, and low-contrast text
+ * become hard to read.  These overrides ensure every interactive and
+ * informational element has a distinct visual boundary.
+ *
+ * WCAG 2.1 AA compliance:
+ *   - Explicit 1px solid borders replace the default translucent borders
+ *     so they meet the 1.5:1 minimum for non-text contrast (SC 1.4.11).
+ *   - Text colours are forced to the full design-token value (no opacity
+ *     reduction) so body copy meets the 4.5:1 ratio (SC 1.4.3).
+ *   - Status chips get a stronger border so they are distinguishable
+ *     without relying on hue alone.
+ *   - The input field gets a solid, fully opaque border.
