Fix low-contrast grey text across the admin - #3383

Conversation
Five reported contrast failures, four colours, one shared cause behind three of them: li.frm_noallow.button, .frm_noallow set opacity 0.5 globally. Opacity fades the text and what sits behind it toward the same backdrop, so the ratio between them collapses whatever the colours are — a #065f46 badge on white measures 7.68:1 at full strength and 3.36:1 at 0.65. The reported #858992, #888c94 and #89dbb5 are grey-900 and success-500 seen through it, not values anything declares. The state is carried by colour now. The NEW pill set only a background and took its text colour from whatever it landed in, so white on success-500 measured 2.62:1 before any dimming. Both halves are declared here now, on 800. The category count badge moves 400 to 500, the lightest stop clearing 4.5:1 on the #f9fafb it sits on. --medium-grey goes 0.65 to 0.70, which lifts #73787c to #696d72 and 4.46:1 to 5.21:1 while staying translucent for the surfaces its callers use. The footer text named in the same report was already fixed in #3377. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The token is inlined into each web component's variables block, six times in the bundle, and the build that carried the change into frm_admin.css left that file at the old alpha. Two shipped artifacts disagreed on one token. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both read at 2.58:1 on white and both are text, so 4.5:1 applies. They share one rule in the dashboard stylesheet, which is where this is fixed rather than on either element. That rule is (0,3,1) and outranks .frm_wrap a:hover, so Dismiss had no hover feedback; the pair added here matches its selector and carries the extra pseudo-class.

Make the floating dismiss control keyboard-accessible. getInboxSlideIn() creates dismissIcon with frmDom.a without href or tabindex. The shared inboxInit() handler listens only for click, so keyboard users cannot focus or activate this dismiss control. Use a native <button type="button"> or add complete keyboard focus and activation behavior.

Six grey-text contrast failures; three shared one cause.
.frm_noallowsetopacity: 0.5globally, which fades text and background toward the same backdrop — so the ratio collapses whatever the colours are, and no palette change could fix it. The reported#858992,#888c94and#89dbb5are--grey-900and--success-500seen through it. The state is carried by colour now.Worst pairs: BETA pill 1.63 → 7.68, inbox timestamp and Dismiss 2.58 → 4.97, sidebar tab 3.35 → 4.76,
--medium-grey4.46 → 5.21. Fixed at the shared rule or token in every case.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
