audit: the preview's pre-flight, before/after shots, and two filed rows

Browse Source

PREFLIGHT.md - taste-skill §14 plus the Felhom additions, run in writing against
the DEPLOYED preview, Pass/Fail per line. Measured, not assumed:

  page height 1440: 10 922 -> 6 780 px (38% shorter)
  page height  390: 19 913 -> 10 865 px (45%, 23.6 -> 12.9 phone screens)
  initial load:     13 req / 308 KB -> 11 req / 260 KB   (same conditions)
  fully loaded:     16 req / ~540 KB -> 15 req / ~545 KB (ESSENTIALLY UNCHANGED -
                    the 93 KB portrait is paid for by dropping the 49 KB hero logo
                    and the 31 KB mono font; stated rather than spun)
  third-party hosts: 0 -> 0
  em dashes in our copy: 18 -> 0
  layout families: 8 for 11 sections (3 repeats) -> 10 for 10 (none)
  no horizontal scroll: clientWidth == scrollWidth at 390 and at 1440

Contrast: three NEW styles measured 3.88 / 3.14 / 3.57 on the first pass, all under
WCAG AA. Fixed to --text-2 and re-measured on the deployed file: 7.56 / 6.12 / 6.96.

A measurement that lied, recorded because it nearly shipped a false verdict: the
first helper reported .limits p at 1.17:1 by treating the translucent --warn-dim
as opaque. Compositing the whole ancestor stack gives the true 5.67:1, a pass. The
three real failures in the same run were real. An instrument that can report a
wrong number silently is not a measurement.

Two rows filed, both needing something this session may not do alone:
  R-930 (Business & legal, P3) the primary CTA is 4.01:1, under AA. MEASURED
        IDENTICAL ON THE LIVE PAGE, so pre-existing and site-wide, not a regression
        of this redesign. Three fixes offered, each touching brand, so it goes to
        the operator rather than being changed unilaterally.
  R-931 (Process & tooling, P4) felhom.eu serves NO compression at all - site.css
        goes over the wire as 94 310 raw bytes with no Content-Encoding even when
        gzip is offered. An nginx setting in manifests/, not a website change.
        Worth more than anything on this page.

Register: 127 -> 129 rows, 2 opened, 0 closed. register_shape_gate.py OK.
