aee5ddd10c data-impeccable-ignore scoped waivers + occlusion and image-backed contrast FP fixes (#559)
* 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.

* Attribute selectors on gradient-text and bounce-easing page emitters too

Same mechanism as the previous commit, extended to the three page-level
motion/text emitters that were still selector-less. Applied with AI
assistance (Claude Code).

* 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.

* 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.
