Flags the decorative low-opacity chromatic radial-gradient "spotlight"
washed behind a hero or section and fading to transparent, an AI-slop
reflex the saturated radial-halo gate lets slip (e.g. rgba(80,111,255,
0.26) -> transparent on a mobile hero).
Gates: a non-repeating radial-gradient whose last stop is transparent,
whose visible stops are all low-opacity (alpha < 0.45) with at most two
of them, at least one chromatic (channel spread >= 24 exempts neutral
vignettes), on a decorative-scale surface (width >= 240, height >= 160,
exempting badges/avatars/small lights). The alpha band is disjoint from
radial-halo (>= 0.7), so the two never double-report.
Wired into both element loops (static-html + injected browser) with the
pure checkRadialSpotlight shared by both adapters. TDD fixture with 5
flag / 9 pass shapes. Browser-path sweep over the eval corpus: 29 hits
on 11 pages, 0 false positives. Count 59 -> 60.
