Evidence — cookie settings modal dark-mode contrast (issue #280)¶
The "Your Privacy Rights" list in #cookieSettingsModal used Bootstrap's fixed .text-dark utility inside a .bg-body panel. --bs-dark-rgb is declared once in :root and never remapped by [data-bs-theme=dark], so in dark mode the text colour (rgb(33, 37, 41)) is byte-for-byte the panel background — a measured 1.00:1 contrast ratio against WCAG 1.4.3 (AA)'s 4.5:1 minimum. The fix (text-body) measures 11.85:1 in dark mode and leaves light mode unchanged (15.43:1). .cookie-category's hardcoded #dee2e6 border became var(--bs-border-color) in the same change.
The BEFORE state is reproduced faithfully on the live fixed build by reverting exactly the two declarations the fix changed (text-body → text-dark class swap + the original hardcoded border) — see test/visual/cookie-consent-contrast-evidence.mjs. Ratios are measured in-page with the same WCAG 2.1 relative-luminance math as the regression test (test/visual/core/accessibility.spec.js), because axe reports every contrast check in this dialog as incomplete (the skin system's body::after background image defeats its background resolution) and would pass vacuously.
