* Stop assuming white when a background cannot be read
Dark themes came back from a scan buried in low-contrast findings that
all claimed the light text sat on #ffffff. Two live runs against
impeccable.style produced 102 and 95 of them.
Two causes, both fixed here.
Parsing. Browsers keep the authored color space in getComputedStyle
output: oklch() stayed oklch, but color-mix results come back as
color(srgb 1.04 0.72 -0.21), wide-gamut authors get color(display-p3
...), and lch()/lab() survive verbatim. The parser read none of those, so
those surfaces registered as unset. parseGradientColors was worse: it
matched only rgba() and #hex, so a ground painted as
linear-gradient(oklch(...), oklch(...)) counted as a gradient with no
stops at all.
Guessing. When the ancestor walk ran out of readable color it returned
white, and on a body-level gradient it returned white without even
looking. Light copy on a lacquer-black page then measured 1.3:1 against a
canvas the visitor never sees.
resolveBackgroundInfo now separates three outcomes: a resolved surface, a
gradient the caller should fall back to stops for, and an unreadable
layer. The last one makes both color adapters skip their contrast checks
entirely. White survives in exactly one case, the one that earns it:
every layer up to the document root was genuinely transparent.
Color conversions moved to cli/engine/shared/color.mjs and gained lab,
lch, and color() for srgb, srgb-linear, and display-p3. Spaces outside
that set return null, which now routes to abstention rather than to a
color nobody painted. Every conversion is pinned against what Chrome
itself paints for the same string.
Rescanning impeccable.style: 102 low-contrast findings down to 30, none
of them on an invented white ground.

* fix: address PR review bot findings on background resolution
- Treat a url() image layer stacked above a gradient as an occluding,
unreadable surface: resolveBackgroundInfo now returns unresolved so the
gradient-stop fallback never measures stops the image hides
(greptile-apps finding, reproduced in Chrome).
- Route the glow and AI-palette DOM adapters through resolveBackgroundInfo
so an unresolved surface makes them abstain instead of hunting gradient
ancestors past an unreadable layer (Cursor Bugbot finding).
- Resolve background-color keywords jsdom hands through verbatim:
inherit now reads as no-paint (the ancestor walk IS its resolution) and
currentcolor substitutes the element's own computed text color instead
of forcing an abstention (Copilot finding).
- Regression coverage in the dark-theme fixture for all three, asserted in
both the jsdom and real-Chrome suites; browser detector regenerated.

* fix: keep zero-offset glow findings when the surface is unreadable
The browser glow adapter abstained from the whole element when
resolveBackgroundInfo reported an unreadable surface, which also dropped
zero-offset chromatic halo findings that do not depend on the background
at all. It now skips only the gradient hunt past the unreadable layer and
scores the halo tell against a null surface, matching what the static
loop already did. Fixture cases pin both sides: the halo over a url()
image ancestor flags in both engines, and an offset chromatic shadow on
the same unknown surface stays abstained.
Also hardens the currentcolor background substitution with the
parseColorResolved fallback used by the text-color path, and adds fixture
coverage proving tokenized currentcolor surfaces already resolve through
the static cascade (flag when knowable, abstain when the token is
undefined).

* fix: abstain on translucent gradients over images, drop phantom color-mix stops
Two follow-up review findings on the merge with main.
A gradient leading a url() layer was treated as a resolvable surface even
when its stops are translucent, so the glow and AI-palette hunts averaged
wash stops (a 20% black wash reads as pure black) while the real surface
blends with image pixels the engine cannot read. resolveBackgroundInfo now
marks gradient-over-image unresolved unless every readable stop of the
leading gradient is opaque, in which case the gradient provably covers the
image and remains the scorable surface.
parseGradientColorsModern predated this branch's parseGradientColors
rewrite: its second regex pass re-extracted color tokens nested inside
color-mix() stops that the shared parser already captures whole via
balanced-paren tokens, appending ingredient colors that are never painted.
The worst-case stop ratio then invented low-contrast findings against a
color nobody sees. The helper is removed; all callers use the shared
parser, which covers the modern syntaxes it existed for.
Fixture coverage pins both: the translucent-wash-over-image glow abstains
in both engines, an opaque gradient over an image still flags in the
browser, and the color-mix wash case stays clean in the static engine.
Each new assertion was verified to fail against the previous engine.

The function called `path.resolve` and `path.sep` but only named-
imports `resolve` and `sep` from `node:path`. The ReferenceError was
swallowed by the try/catch, so $HERMES_HOME was silently ignored and
profile-scoped installs always landed in ~/.hermes instead of the
active profile. Greptile (P1) and Cursor Bugbot (High) flagged this
on 2026-08-10. Adds 6 regression tests covering default, default-
profile, active-profile, cross-home leakage, the override map
integration, and the full e2e pipeline. Verified by reverting the
fix and observing the relevant tests fail.
* Add data-impeccable-ignore scoped waivers; fix occlusion and image-backed contrast FPs
Three changes that let a page hosting deliberate anti-pattern exhibits
scan clean without losing coverage, prepared with AI assistance (Claude
Code) on maintainer instruction:
- data-impeccable-ignore="rule-a rule-b" (or "*" / bare) on any element
suppresses matching findings for its whole subtree, in the browser
overlay, the extension, and the static engine. The DOM twin of the
line-based impeccable-disable comments (which a live DOM cannot
apply) and the generalization of data-impeccable-allow-kickers.
Applied at the addBrowserFindings choke point, at the static element
walk, and for regex findings that carry a live selector.
- text-occlusion: an occluder whose effective opacity multiplies out to
~0 paints nothing. An opacity-0 range scrubber stretched over a
before/after comparison produced 16 "100% covered by an opaque
element" findings on one page because elementFromPoint returns it and
its UA background-color read as opaque paint. Invisible-at-rest
elements are also no longer probed as victims.
- Analytic contrast now skips what it cannot measure: a url() image
layer anywhere in the background stack ends the gradient-stops walk
(dark ink on a bright gold-leaf image measured 2.6:1 against the wash
composited over the wrong base), and elements that are invisible at
rest (visibility hidden, effective opacity ~0 — hidden scene decks)
are skipped by the color checks in both engines. The static cascade
now tracks opacity to support this.
Covered by a new scoped-ignore fixture (exact rule, star, comma list,
nested depth, wrong-rule control) tested in both engines, a scrubber
pass case in the occlusion fixture, and image-backed / photo-panel /
hidden-scene pass cases in the gradient-ground fixture. Full suite
passes; browser and extension bundles regenerated.

* CSS-scan findings carry their enclosing selector; browser pass resolves them
Page-level CSS-text findings (marquee, dark-glow, radial-halo,
repeating-stripes, codex-grid, ai-color-palette, image-hover-transform,
pseudo/inset side-tab stripes) now attach the selector of the rule that
matched, via a best-effort enclosingCssSelector() helper or the
selector already in scope. The browser pass resolves that selector
against the live DOM: pseudo segments are stripped, a selector that
renders nowhere on the page drops the finding (the CSS ships there but
the pattern never paints — the live DOM is ground truth in a browser
scan), and matches under a data-impeccable-ignore ancestor are waived.
Static scans are unchanged: partial documents keep the text-level
findings. Applied with AI assistance (Claude Code).
Covered in the scoped-ignore fixture: a live marquee under a marquee
waiver is suppressed, and dead two-axis grid CSS matching no element is
dropped.

* text-overflow: skip SVG content; scrollWidth lies there
Chrome reports arbitrary non-zero scrollWidth/clientWidth on SVG
elements (a <text> gave 78/48 while its rendered length sat inside its
box), so the box-metric delta is noise. SVG clips to its own viewport
anyway. Pass case added to the quality fixture. Applied with AI
assistance (Claude Code).

* Overlay samples image-backed text at the pixel level by default
Visual contrast gains a third mode. Explicit true still runs the full
sampled pass, explicit false still disables everything (the mode the
test suites use), and unset — the default overlay run — now samples
ONLY image-backed text: the one class the analytic walk deliberately
skips, because a url() layer's pixels are unknowable without looking.
The cost is bounded and the method is precise: at most a 3x3 grid of
sample points per candidate (degrading to 3 or 1 for small rects), the
source image drawn once to a canvas with only those pixels read, and
glyph ink never pollutes the samples because the image is drawn alone.
A cross-origin image without CORS headers reports unresolved rather
than guessing. Applied with AI assistance (Claude Code).
Covered by a new fixture: white text on a near-white same-origin
data-URI image background flags via sampled pixels under default
options; dark ink on the same image passes.

* Review fixes: root opacity, keyframe steps, static parity, attributed fixtures
Applied with AI assistance (Claude Code), addressing all seven findings
from the automated reviews:
- effectiveOpacityDOM walks through body and html: a page-fade wrapper
with body/html opacity 0 hides every descendant (Greptile executed a
Chromium repro of the false positive).
- enclosingCssSelector refuses `from`/`to` keyframe steps, which read
as never-matching type selectors and got valid findings wrongly
dropped by the zero-match rule (Bugbot, high). Regression case: an
overshoot bezier inside a `to` step must survive as page-level.
- The static cascade now inherits visibility, so descendants of a
hidden container compute as hidden like the browser path; a declared
visibility:visible still overrides.
- The static engine applies scoped waivers to selector-backed
html-pattern findings, mirroring the browser — but keeps findings
whose selector matches nothing, since static scans see partial
documents.
- The scoped-ignore fixture grows to the mandated matrix: 4 flag cases
(control, other-rule waiver, sibling waiver, misspelled rule id) and
5 waived shapes (exact rule, nested depth, star, comma list, self),
each with a unique border width so every finding attributes to
exactly one case in both engines' tests.
- The image-backed contrast test pins its cases via the sampled
finding's candidate text: the white-on-light specimen must flag and
the dark-ink control must stay clean.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Review fixes: image-only starvation, selector rejection class, inset stripes
Second review round, applied with AI assistance (Claude Code):
- The image-only filter moves inside the candidate collector, before the
cap: gradient/opacity/filter candidates earlier in DOM order no longer
consume the 12-candidate budget and starve the url()-backed texts the
mode exists to sample (Bugbot, high). The regression fixture packs 14
gradient decoys ahead of the photo panels, and the test now drives the
overlay entry (impeccableDetectAsync, default options) rather than
detectUrl's Node-side full fallback, which is where the image-only
mode actually lives.
- enclosingCssSelector no longer rejects the child combinator or quoted
attribute selectors; only braces and angle brackets disqualify.
- The inset box-shadow side-tab scanner attaches its selector like the
pseudo-element scanner does, so those findings waive and dead-drop
the same way.

* Fix: measure gradient body grounds instead of assuming white (browser mode)
A page whose ground is set via background: linear-gradient(...) on body
leaves backgroundColor transparent, and resolveBackground assumed white
for any body/html-level gradient. In a real browser that assumption is
wrong: the shorthand is always decomposed there, so reaching that branch
means the ground truly is the gradient. On a dark oklch gradient ground
(impeccable.style's lacquer) this turned every light-on-dark text into a
~1.3:1 "on #ffffff" low-contrast finding, ~120 false positives on one
site. Browser mode now returns null so the caller measures against the
actual gradient stops; the white assumption stays for jsdom, where the
undecomposed-shorthand rationale still holds.
Gradient stops also now parse modern color syntax: computed
backgroundImage keeps oklch()/oklab()/hsl()/hwb() stops as authored, and
parseGradientColors only read rgb()/hex, so a token-driven gradient
ground was invisible even once the walk deferred to it. New
parseGradientColorsModern routes those stops through parseAnyColor.
Covered by a Puppeteer fixture (dark oklch body gradient): light text on
the ground must not flag, muted dark-gray ink must, proving the stops
are measured rather than the checks silently skipping.

* Composite translucent layers over gradient stops; parse modern glow stops
Review fixes from PR #557's automated reviews, applied with AI
assistance (Claude Code):
- Cursor Bugbot found the new browser-mode early return discarded the
translucent ancestors resolveBackground had collected: text on a
frosted wash over a body gradient was measured against raw stops.
resolveGradientStops now collects translucent layers during its own
walk (through readCascadeBackgroundColor, extracted so both walks
read surfaces identically) and composites every stop under them.
- Copilot flagged the other legacy parseGradientColors call sites. The
glow-context fallback now uses parseGradientColorsModern, since body
gradients reach it more often after this change. The AI-palette rule
and the injected analytic sampler stay on the legacy parser
deliberately: the former is a rule-behavior expansion deserving its
own fixtures, the latter degrades to pixel sampling or a skip.
- Greptile asked for standard fixture structure: the fixture now has
labeled flag/pass cases (3 flag, 5 pass) including the frosted-wash
pair that locks the overlay compositing in both directions and a
legacy hex-stop gradient guarding the original parser path.
The test scopes itself to the DOM path via visualContrast: false, the
suite's established pattern; the screenshot sampler is a separate
subsystem with its own coverage.

* Pin gradient-ground flag cases to their snippet signatures
Bugbot follow-up: a count-only assertion let an offsetting miss and
false positive cancel, especially the frosted pair. Each flag case now
asserts its full text-on-background signature, so the frosted case must
measure against the composited wash and the count guard excludes any
pass case flagging in its place. Applied with AI assistance (Claude
Code).

* Comments: the static path is the custom engine now, not jsdom
jsdom left the dependency tree when the static-html engine (StaticElement
+ css-cascade.mjs) replaced it, and that engine does decompose the
background shorthand, so the comments this PR added were dated in both
name and rationale. Only comments touched by this PR are renamed; the
~40 legacy jsdom mentions elsewhere in checks.mjs are a separate sweep.
Applied with AI assistance (Claude Code).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Static engine: measure body gradients too, dropping the white assumption
Follow-up to the browser-mode fix: the white assumption for body/html
gradients was a jsdom guard, and jsdom is gone. The static cascade
decomposes the background shorthand (expandStaticDeclaration) and
preserves var() colors for later resolution, so a missing solid under a
body gradient is now as real in static mode as in a browser — and the
static engine had the identical false-positive class (light text on a
dark gradient ground flagged "on #ffffff") while missing the muted-ink
true positives on the same page.
The old catastrophic case cannot recur: opaque stops fully cover any
hidden solid (they are the ground), alpha stops composite over the
resolved base or the white canvas default, and unresolvable stops drop
rather than guess.
Static twin of the browser test added over the same fixture; the full
suite, the url()-ancestor guard, and a source scan of impeccable.style
(0 low-contrast findings) all stay clean. Applied with AI assistance
(Claude Code).

Review finding on #553: an object-literal argument like
${getOffset({ size: 2 })} ended the interpolation match at the inner
closing brace, losing the shadow context. Interpolations now admit one
level of braces (with paired quotes inside); the shared subpattern is
hoisted into compiled constants. Deeper nesting stays fail-safe by

miss produces a waivable finding, never a leak.

applies only inside box-shadow / text-shadow values, so a documented
shadow black still fires as a page ground.

* Fix: use argv exec and single-quote escaping for the four #476 shell-injection sites
JSON.stringify and raw double-quote interpolation were used as shell quoting,
but /bin/sh still expands $(...), backticks, and ${} inside double quotes.
- is-generated.mjs / live.mjs runScript: switch execSync string commands to
execFileSync argv form, which never invokes a shell. Closes the remote path
where a source file named `$(...)` executes during the live-mode walk.
- skills.mjs hook command + hook-lib.mjs ignore-value suggestion: values that
must stay shell strings now use POSIX single-quote escaping instead of
JSON/double quotes. The doctor's hook-token parser learns the single-quoted
absolute form so it keeps verifying user-level installs.

Greptile flagged that switching quoteCommandArg to POSIX single quotes fixed
$(...) injection on /bin/sh but regressed Windows cmd.exe, where single quotes

was stored malformed.
The suggested command runs on the same machine the hook fired on, so branch on
process.platform (the pattern skills.mjs already uses): single-quote on POSIX
for the #476 fix, and keep the original double-quote escaping on Windows so
that path's behavior is unchanged. Adds a regression test asserting both forms.

appears and the guard exits 0 (single-quoted substitution stays inert).

Impeccable now ships a Hermes-compatible bundle under dist/hermes/.hermes/skills/.
Hermes reads the Agent Skills spec as-is, so the bundle uses the four spec
frontmatter fields (name, description, version, license) plus metadata/compatibility
and drops the Claude/Codex-specific extensions Hermes would silently ignore.
The .hermes/skills/ tracked root and the regenerated pin.mjs mirrors will be
produced by .github/workflows/sync-generated-output.yml after this lands; per
AGENTS.md, generated harness churn stays out of feature PRs.
What a Hermes user gets:
- npx impeccable install --providers=hermes --scope=project writes
.hermes/skills/impeccable/ into the cwd.
- npx impeccable install --providers=hermes --scope=user honors $HERMES_HOME,
so a profile-scoped install (HERMES_HOME=~/.hermes/profiles/forge) lands in
the active profile's skills dir, not the default ~/.hermes/. Cross-home
HERMES_HOME inheritance is ignored so test isolation holds.
- /impeccable registers as a Hermes slash command and routes sub-commands via
the Commands table in the skill body, since user-invocable / argument-hint
are not honored by Hermes' skill loader.
What a Hermes user does NOT get, and why:
- No hook surface. Impeccable's PostToolUse/Stop anti-pattern detector on
Claude/Codex/Cursor/Grok/GitHub does not translate to Hermes, which has no
equivalent tool event lifecycle. The skill body still ships.
- No writeOpenAIMetadata, agentFormat, or emitHooks. Hermes has no per-skill
tool ACL, no subagent on-disk format, and no hooks.json equivalent.
Verified end-to-end with hermes-agent v0.18.2: /impeccable polish and
/impeccable critique both load reference/<command>.md and return the
documented first step. parse_frontmatter accepts the generated SKILL.md,
scan_skill_commands registers /impeccable, and the full default test suite
passes (267/267 in the critical files; 0 fail across all suites).

Follow-ups from an end-to-end testing strategy review:
- Suite triggers are now auto-generated from each suite's own file list,
so change-based CI can never miss a test file again (four files were
unreachable by their own edits, and tests/lib/detector-bundle.test.js
triggered core while running in detector). Two new meta-tests pin the
invariant. Hand-written trigger patterns now carry only source paths
and fixture dirs; palette dropped from the live triggers since no
suite tests it.
- The node runner batches all files into one node --test invocation at
concurrency 4 instead of spawning per file. Default suite drops from
~159s to ~100s; the live suite soaked clean three times.
- scripts/release.mjs gets its first tests: 12 scenarios spawning the
real script inside a disposable git repo with a local bare origin,
covering every refusal guard plus notes/tweet rendering, all under
--dry-run.
- skill/scripts/live/ui-core.mjs deleted: zero references repo-wide,
superseded by the July live rewrite, yet still shipping to users.
cli/lib/download-providers.js annotated with its cross-repo consumers

* fix: exclude peeled tag lines from release-test origin cleanup
Copilot: git ls-remote --tags emits ^{} peel lines for annotated tags,
which are not deletable refs; --refs filters them so the cleanup loop
survives a future scenario that pushes an annotated tag.

* Fix: skip POSIX hook guard on Windows installs (#452)
PowerShell rejects the `[ ! -f ... ] ||` guard at parse time, so Codex
hooks generated by `npx impeccable install` on Windows never ran. Emit
the direct `node "PATH"` invocation there; POSIX output is unchanged.

* Keep the missing-file no-op in Windows-generated hook commands
Greptile review on #453: project hook manifests are committable, so a
bare `node "PATH"` written on Windows loses the silent no-op when a
POSIX teammate without the skill consumes it. Replace the bare form
with a shell-agnostic `node -e` existence guard that parses in
PowerShell, cmd.exe, and sh, and forwards the hook's exit code.

* Use Codex's commandWindows field for the Windows hook guard
Per @PatrickSys on #452: Codex runs hooks through COMSPEC (cmd.exe /C),
not PowerShell, and 0.146.0+ selects a commandWindows manifest field on
Windows. Codex entries now always carry the POSIX guard in command plus
an `if exist` cmd.exe guard in commandWindows (his Windows-tested form),
so one .codex/hooks.json is correct on every OS regardless of where the
install ran. Claude/Cursor keep the node -e wrapper on Windows installs
since their manifests have no per-platform field.

* Fix: unescape YAML quote escapes in DESIGN.md frontmatter scalars (#428)
parseScalar() stripped a double-quoted scalar's outer quotes without
processing the backslash escapes inside, so a font stack that quotes a
multi-word family the CSS way, e.g.
fontFamily: "\"IBM Plex Sans\", system-ui, sans-serif"
reached allowedFonts as '\"ibm plex sans' and design-system-font flagged
fonts DESIGN.md declares. Also collapses the doubled-quote escape in
single-quoted scalars and keeps a lone quote literal instead of slicing
it to an empty string. Applied to both copies of the parser
(cli/engine/design-system.mjs and skill/scripts/lib/design-parser.mjs).

* Decode YAML hex and Unicode escapes in double-quoted scalars
Review follow-up: the escape scanner only handled the simple set, so
\xNN, \uNNNN, and \UNNNNNNNN sequences stayed encoded and an escaped
token like "\x23b8422e" never matched #b8422e in CSS. Decode validated
hex escapes in both parser copies; malformed or out-of-range sequences
stay literal. Regression coverage for all three forms.

* Complete the YAML 1.2 double-quote escape set
Review follow-up: the escape map omitted the escaped space (\ ) and
non-breaking space (\_) forms, so fonts declared with them kept a
literal backslash in allowedFonts and their CSS declarations were
reported as undeclared. Map the full spec 5.7 set (\a \b \v \f \e
\N \L \P included) in both parser copies instead of chasing one escape
at a time. Regression coverage for both named forms.

One family with weight and size contrast carrying the hierarchy is a
legitimate type system, and in practice the rule mostly punished
minimal pages: it was the loudest cross-rule noise on the fixture
corpus's should-pass columns. Removed from the registry, both engine
paths, the regex page analyzers, and the devtools category map; the
negative assertions stay as resurrection guards, and the text-content
analyzer index base shifts down one with the removal.

Paul's codex build carried an element literally named class="kicker"
and the detector returned one finding. Two independent blind spots:
- The linked stylesheet was styles.css?v=3, and the href resolved as a
literal path with the query string in it, so the whole sheet was
invisible to every element-level check: 1 finding with the link, 18
with the CSS inlined. Hrefs now strip query and hash before resolving.
- The kicker gate demanded letter-spacing >= max(1px, 0.08 * size). The
wild's most common recipe, 0.08em at 12px, computes to 0.973px and
lost to the absolute floor by a fraction. The floor is now purely
proportional (0.06 * size), with a fixture case pinning the exact
shape that slipped through.
With both fixed, the failed codex build scans at 18 findings including
its numbered section kickers (numbered-section-labels), side-tab
stripe, and grid background.
