Summary

  • Switches light-theme diff highlights from low-alpha rgba overlays to opaque Primer v8 values (#dafbe1, #aceebb, #ffebe9, #ffcecb) so additions/deletions are visible against the page background.
  • Aligns the rest of the editor's light tokens (surfaces, fg, hljs syntax) with current Primer v8 — what github.com ships today.
  • Three small AA-driven divergences from GH so we still pass axe AA where GH itself fails: hljs-built_in darkened to #953800; deletion-row gutter line numbers and .hljs-* > .diff-word-del groups darkened to #1f2328.
  • Dark theme (Tokyo Night) untouched.

Mirrors crit/ — pairs with tomasz-tomczyk/crit#387 for the crit-mono review-page parity rule.

Review

  • Code review: passed

Mirrors the crit-mono parity rule for the review page (this file ↔ crit/frontend/theme.css).

The light theme used low-alpha rgba overlays for diff highlights, which
visually rendered as near-white and made additions/deletions hard to see.
Switch to opaque Primer v8 values (#dafbe1, #aceebb, #ffebe9, #ffcecb)
so highlights are perceptible against the page background.

Also align the rest of the editor's light tokens to current Primer v8
(editor bg/fg, surfaces, hljs syntax tokens). Three small AA-driven
divergences from GH for axe compliance: built_in #953800, deletion
gutter num and word-del-nested hljs groups darkened to #1f2328.

Dark theme (Tokyo Night) untouched.
