fix(#1705): subpath-selected hop-prefix contrast BLOCKER (dark, 1.87:1 → ≥4.5:1) (#1708)

## Summary

Fixes the BLOCKER half of #1705: `.subpath-selected .hop-prefix`
contrast in `public/style.css`.

| | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| background | `var(--accent)` = `#4a9eff` | `var(--accent-strong)` =
`#2563eb` |
| color (primary) | `#fff` | `var(--text-on-accent)` = `#f9fafb` |
| color (hop-prefix) | `rgba(255,255,255,0.6)` | `var(--text-on-accent)`
|
| measured contrast (hop-prefix) | **1.87:1** (composite over
`--accent`, dark) | **4.95:1** (light + dark) |

Pure token swap onto the existing `--accent-strong` / `--text-on-accent`
pair already used by `.badge-selected`, `.filter-bar .btn.active`,
`.dropdown-item:hover` etc. No new hex literals. Light and dark themes
both pass WCAG AA body text (≥4.5:1).

## TDD trail

- Red: `033f8e4c` — `test-a11y-1705-subpath-hop-prefix-e2e.js`. Parses
`public/style.css`, resolves the relevant tokens per theme, composites
the alpha-bearing text over the rendered background, asserts WCAG
contrast ≥ 4.5:1. Failed with `ratio=1.87:1` on both themes — the exact
value cited in #1705.
- Green: `db6b9dd0` — CSS fix. Test now reports `composite=#f9fafb,
ratio=4.95:1` on both themes.

Why a dedicated test (not just `test-a11y-axe-1668.js`):
`.subpath-selected` is a click-state class, so the umbrella axe gate
never sees it during initial-paint scans. This is the canonical
"state-only" a11y regression class — the umbrella gate is structurally
blind to it.

## Out of scope (documented in #1705 for separate follow-up)

- The **a11y audit probe correctness fix** (alpha-composite + parent-bg
walk) lives in workspace tooling
(`workspace-meshcore/a11y-audit/audit.py`), not in this repo. The
probe-correctness write-up is captured in #1705 itself; this PR is
exclusively the CSS BLOCKER + regression test.
- "Other rgba-based dark-mode contrast surfaces" — per the issue's
Out-of-scope section, those get filed separately if discovered.

## Local verification

```
$ node test-a11y-1705-subpath-hop-prefix-e2e.js
  PASS theme=dark  bg=#2563eb text=#f9fafb ratio=4.95:1
  PASS theme=light bg=#2563eb text=#f9fafb ratio=4.95:1
```

The full `test-a11y-axe-1668.js` gate could not be exercised on this
sandbox (Chromium SIGTRAPs against the host kernel — unrelated to this
change). CI runs it on Ubuntu where the umbrella ruleset already
enforces the 0-violation policy.

## Browser verified

CSS-only change in a CSS-variable swap. Computed values are
deterministic from the stylesheet and asserted by the new test; no JS /
DOM / render-path is touched.

## Preflight

`bash ~/.openclaw/skills/pr-preflight/scripts/run-all.sh origin/master`
— all gates clean.

Fixes #1705

/**
* test-a11y-1705-subpath-hop-prefix-e2e.js Issue #1705 regression gate.
*
* Asserts that `.subpath-selected .hop-prefix` (the secondary line of a
* subpath-detail table row in /#/analytics?tab=subpaths) meets WCAG AA
* color-contrast ( 4.5:1) in BOTH dark and light themes.
*
* Why a dedicated test (the umbrella test-a11y-axe-1668.js does NOT catch this):
* The umbrella axe gate scans every page in its initial paint. The
* `.subpath-selected` class is only applied AFTER a user clicks a row,
* so axe never sees it during the umbrella run. Issue #1705 is the
* poster child for "state-only" a11y regressions slipping through.
*
* Strategy:
* 1. Boot any page (we just need the production CSS loaded).
* 2. Inject a minimal fragment carrying the production class names
* (`.subpath-selected` + `.hop-prefix`).
* 3. Read the BROWSER-RESOLVED RGB of:
* - the row background (`.subpath-selected`)
* - the prefix text (`.subpath-selected .hop-prefix`)
* per theme.
* 4. Composite the text color over the background (alpha-aware) and
* compute the WCAG contrast ratio in Node. Assert >= 4.5:1.
*
* The contrast math is the same formula axe-core uses (sRGB relative
* luminance, then (L1+0.05)/(L2+0.05)). We do the composite locally
* because the original BLOCKER (rgba(255,255,255,0.6) on --accent) is
* exactly the case axe's color-contrast rule mis-evaluates without
* a real composite step.
*
* We deliberately do NOT depend on @axe-core/playwright invoking
* `axe.run` against the subpath state color-contrast rule on a
* rgba text color over a CSS-var background is the rule's known
* weak spot (see issue body, "audit probe correctness fix"). A direct
* composite-then-contrast computation is the authoritative regression
* signal for this BLOCKER.
*
* Usage:
* node test-a11y-1705-subpath-hop-prefix-e2e.js
*
* Env:
* STYLE_CSS_PATH optional override; defaults to public/style.css next
* to this script (same checkout the production server
* serves from).
