/*
Every text colour against every surface it is drawn on, per theme.

A palette is not legible in general: a token is legible on a surface. `--faint`
can be 5:1 on the panel and 4.2:1 on the same panel under a hovered row, and the
second is where it is read the moment the pointer is on it. So what is measured
here is not a list of tokens but a list of PAIRS, each one a place the console
really puts that colour on that ground. The pairs were read from the stylesheets
(`grep var(--token)` in `src/`), and each says where.

A surface may be a token, or a token under a translucent one (the hover veils,
the Query Logs row colours), composed the way the browser composes them: in sRGB,
source over. `color-mix(in srgb, X 30%, transparent)` is X at alpha 0.3.

Thresholds, WCAG 2.2:

  4.5  text (1.4.3). Every text here is under 18.66 px bold, so none is "large".
  3    a non-text object a user needs to see (1.4.11): a field's border, the focus
       ring, a checkbox's box, a switch's knob, a tick on its fill.

What it does not measure: the chart series (`dev/palette-distance.mjs` does, as
pairs that share a chart) and decorative dividers (`--line`, `--line2`), which
1.4.11 does not ask anything of: a panel is still a panel without its border.

Exit code: 1 when a pair in the LIGHT theme is under its threshold. Dark is
measured and printed with the same list, and it is not gated, on purpose: its
values are the ones shipped since 2026-08-25 and the light theme was designed
under a "dark stays pixel-identical" rule (2026-10-01). What it fails is listed
as a fact about dark, not excused.
