Paul BakausandClaude Fable 5 0d72991bc8 detector: catch glow shadows in any color format, zero-offset halos on any background, and text-shadow glows ...

- parseAnyColor now covers oklab(), hsl()/hsla(), hwb(), and ~35 common
  named colors on top of rgb/rgba/hex/oklch, so checkGlow sees the color
  regardless of authoring format (Chrome preserves oklch() in computed
  styles, which the old rgba-only match silently passed).
- checkGlow gains a second tell: a zero-offset chromatic box/text-shadow
  with blur > 4px is flagged on ANY background (the halo pattern);
  achromatic zero-offset shadows and focus rings stay legal. The
  existing chromatic-blur-on-dark-background rule is unchanged in
  semantics but now parses every color format.
- text-shadow is checked wherever box-shadow was (browser DOM path with
  inherited-value dedupe, static engine via new textShadow cascade
  support, text engines).
- The page-level text scan (regex engine + checkHtmlPatterns) is now a
  shared scanCssTextForGlow that resolves single-level var() refs
  against custom properties collected from the same text; unresolvable
  var() in a shadow color position is skipped, never guessed. Its
  dark-page heuristic accepts var()/oklch backgrounds but only when
  declared at root scope (body/html/:root or body inline style).
- dark-glow keeps its id; registry name/description updated to cover
  both cases.

Validated: three eval repro samples with oklch / var(--x) glows that
previously produced zero findings now flag on the static CLI path; ten
known-good largerun samples stay clean except one with genuine amber
status-dot halos (0 0 12px oklch(.73 .17 65/.4)).

Note: cli/engine/detect-antipatterns-browser.js and the extension
detector are generated and still need 'node scripts/build-browser-detector.js'
+ 'node scripts/build-extension.js' once builds are unblocked.
