428b86b139 Detect single-edge stripes painted with an inset box-shadow (#378)
* Detect single-edge stripes painted with an inset box-shadow

The side-tab rule caught bordered stripes but not the inset box-shadow spelling of
the same anti-pattern, which is how it usually reaches an Astro/CSS source file.
Adds a structural CSS scan for `box-shadow: inset` layers whose shape is a 3-12px
stripe on exactly one edge with no blur or spread, reusing the existing `side-tab`
rule id, so the rule count is unchanged.

Scoped narrowly, because a stripe is correct design in some places. It skips
selection and focus indicators (the rule's one documented exception), interactive
and semantic elements, narrow artwork, and neutral colors: `inset 4px 0 0 #000` is
a hairline, not an AI tell. Chromatic intent is read from the color literal or from
a `var(--token)` name.

Grammar rather than one spelling, learned the hard way — three of the four
false-negative shapes below were found only after the first pass shipped:
- `inset` is order-independent, so `4px 0 0 red inset` is the same stripe. Only a
  standalone keyword is stripped, so `var(--inset-accent)` is not mangled.
- box-shadow takes <length>{2,4}: `inset 4px 0 red` omits blur and spread, which
  default to 0. That is exactly the stripe shape.
- Authored CSS spells neutrals as `#000` / `black`, and shared/color.mjs only
  parses the computed function forms a browser emits, deliberately reporting
  anything else as chromatic. Routing authored colors through it flagged plain
  black hairlines, so hex and named neutrals are handled before deferring.
- Comment bodies are blanked before matching, preserving byte offsets so line
  numbers stay right, and the selector's line is taken from its first
  non-whitespace character rather than the greedy match start.

Fixture covers 8 flag shapes and 13 pass shapes, including a literal-color column
that the original had none of, which is why the neutral bug survived review.

* Parse box-shadow layers by grammar, not by one spelling

Three review-bot findings, two of them the same mistake I had already made
twice in this rule.

Color-first layers were missed (greptile). `box-shadow` orders `inset`,
the lengths, and the color freely, so `red 4px 0 inset` and
`var(--brand-accent) 4px 0 0 inset` paint the stripe the length-first
regex was looking for and were skipped. That is the third valid spelling
this rule has missed after trailing `inset` and the two-length form, all
from encoding one spelling instead of the grammar. Stop patching
spellings: tokenize the layer, pick out `inset` and the 2-4 lengths in any
order, and treat the single remaining token as the color. Tokenizing is
paren-aware because `rgb(0 0 0)` is one color value whose channels would
otherwise read as lengths.

Neutral `rgb()` with space-separated channels was flagged (cursor).
shared/color.mjs parses only the comma form that getComputedStyle emits,
so an authored `rgb(0 0 0)` fell through it and reported chromatic — the
exemption isNeutralAuthoredColor exists for, missed. Parse both separators
before delegating. Left shared/color.mjs alone: it reads computed styles,
where the comma form is all a browser produces.

Line numbers were derived by re-slicing the whole prefix per rule, O(n^2)
on a large stylesheet (Copilot). Matches arrive in source order, so carry
a monotonic cursor: one pass total.

Fixtures cover both flag shapes and the neutral pass shape; all three fail
against the previous parse ("expected Color First Edge to flag", and
Space Rgb Neutral Edge appearing in the old flag list).

* Fix the !important regression my tokenizer introduced, plus two cascade bugs

Three findings from Cursor on the grammar rewrite. The first is mine, from
the commit that claimed to end this bug class.

`!important` stopped flagging. Tokenizing split it into its own token, so
the color count came out at two and the layer was skipped — a shape the
regex it replaced handled correctly. `!important` qualifies the
declaration, not the shadow value, so strip it before reading layers.

Style-block findings reported one line low. block.startLine is the first
line after the <style> tag, but block.content begins at the character right
after that tag, so content's own line 1 sits on the tag's line. Passing
startLine - 1 to a 1-based line lookup counted that line twice. It is
startLine - 2. runRegexMatchers is unaffected and stays at startLine - 1
because it indexes its split lines from zero — verified by a fixture where
bounce-easing and side-tab share one block and now both report correctly.

Repeated declarations read the first, not the last. The cascade paints the
last, so `box-shadow: inset 4px 0 red; box-shadow: none` was flagged
though it paints nothing, and the reverse order was missed. Same for a
width override deciding the narrow-artwork skip.

Fixtures cover !important, both cascade orders, and the line-accuracy
shapes (multi-line block, single-line block, plain .css); they fail against
the previous commit.
