Paul BakausandClaude Opus 4.6 3569085cea Make cramped-padding rule asymmetric and proportional to font-size
The old rule used a fixed 8px floor on minPad, which produced false
positives on small inline pills (like the homepage's .detection-cmd
at 6px vertical / 14px horizontal on 13px font) and false negatives
on large text (a 24px heading with 8px padding all around passed
the floor but is genuinely too tight for the text size).

The new rule uses two independent axis thresholds that scale with
font-size:

  vertical:   max(4px, fontSize × 0.3)
  horizontal: max(8px, fontSize × 0.5)

The asymmetry reflects typographic reality: line-height already
provides built-in vertical breathing room (the line box is taller
than the cap height), so vertical padding can be tighter than
horizontal. Both thresholds scale with font-size — bigger text
demands proportionally more padding.

Behavior changes
- Small inline pills with line-height-aware padding now pass
  (.detection-cmd: V 6 ≥ 4, H 14 ≥ 8). The homepage CSS is unchanged.
- Cramped large text now flags (24px heading with 8px padding fails
  H 8 < 12). The old rule missed this entirely.
- All original 8px-floor flag cases still flag — 4px on 14px text
  is still 4 < 4.2 vertical, 2px is still cramped, etc.
- Snippet now indicates which axis failed and the specific threshold
  for the font-size: "6px vertical padding (need ≥4.8px for 16px text)"
  instead of the old "6px padding (need >=8px)".

Fixture
- tests/fixtures/antipatterns/cramped-padding.html is a new
  comprehensive side-by-side fixture with 8 flag cases and 12 pass
  cases spanning small pills, cards, code blocks, interactive
  elements, and big text. Replaces the prior 3-case version.

Test
- tests/detect-antipatterns-browser.test.mjs asserts exactly 8
  cramped-padding findings with detailed comments listing each
  expected case and which axis fails.
