Surfaced by the v0.9.6-beta codebase health audit (A11Y-2).
--ink-muted (src/index.css:13, #8A8470) is used as text color in 30+ rules — row meta lines, stat labels, field hints, search-result metadata, settings descriptions, month-cell labels — all 10–13px text at ~3.3–3.7:1 on the cream background, below the 4.5:1 AA threshold. This is the single most pervasive a11y issue in the app.
Impact
Low-contrast secondary text throughout the UI fails WCAG AA for a large set of users.
Suggested fix
Darken the token (≈#6F6A58 reaches ~4.6:1 on the cream bg), or split into a decorative-muted (non-text) and a text-muted pair so fills keep the lighter value. Verify with a contrast checker. Note: warn/chip tokens used as small text ("Leaving soon" pill, group titles, category eyebrows) also fail AA and may warrant the same split (tracked here or as follow-up).
