Darken frm-orange-tag and frm-green-tag foregrounds to pass WCAG AA contrast

[vivi-the-going-merry]

What was broken

Two of the five .frm-meta-tag colour modifiers fail WCAG 2.1 AA contrast (4.5:1) at the size/weight the component actually renders (14px, weight 600 -- below the "large text" threshold that would allow the relaxed 3:1 minimum):

modifier	foreground	background	contrast
.frm-orange-tag	var(--orange) (#f15a24)	#fef7f4	3.18:1 (fail)
.frm-green-tag	#fff	var(--success-500) (#12b76a)	2.62:1 (fail)

Grey, red, and lt-green tags already pass and are unchanged.

What changed

resources/scss/admin/components/_meta-tag.scss:

• .frm-orange-tag: foreground darkened to #b54708 (5.12:1). Scoped to this rule rather than the shared --orange token, which other rules at other sizes/backgrounds also rely on.
• .frm-green-tag: foreground switched to var(--grey-900) (6.77:1) -- the same near-black already used for the grey tag. No shade in the --success family clears 4.5:1 against --success-500 as a background (--success-900, the darkest available, is only ~3.7:1), and reusing lt-green's pale background/dark-text pairing would make the two tags visually indistinguishable, which is the exact meaning-collision problem the issue describes for orange vs. grey.

Hand-applied the equivalent minified rule to css/frm_admin.css (css/frm_testing_mode.css doesn't include meta-tag styles at all) -- npm run build wasn't run on this shared machine. Diffed the compiled file before/after: exactly 5 bytes changed, both inside the two target rules, nothing else touched.

How it was verified

Live in a formidable-preview-env instance, not just source-level comparison -- loaded the real compiled frm_admin.css on an actual admin page and read getComputedStyle on synthetic badges (so the real cascade/.frm_wrap custom-property resolution applies, same as a rendered badge):

modifier	before	after
.frm-orange-tag	3.18:1	5.12:1
.frm-green-tag	2.62:1	6.77:1
.frm-grey-tag / .frm-red-tag / .frm-lt-green-tag	unchanged	unchanged (15.00 / 5.45 / 6.78:1)

Also screenshotted all five side by side to confirm orange still reads as orange (not brown) and green stays visually distinct from lt-green.

Closes Strategy11/formidable-pro#6646

Verified live in formidable-preview-env (real .frm_wrap cascade, not a bare stylesheet load) — checked out both main and the PR head, injected synthetic badges for all five modifiers into an actual admin page, read getComputedStyle, and independently recomputed WCAG contrast from the resolved sRGB values rather than trusting the PR body's numbers:

• .frm-orange-tag: #b54708 on #fef7f4 → 5.11:1 (independently recomputed, matches the PR's claimed 5.12:1)
• .frm-green-tag: var(--grey-900) (#101828) on --success-500 (#12b76a) → 6.77:1 (matches exactly)

Both clear the 4.5:1 AA bar for this component's actual size/weight (14px/600).

Before:

After:

Green now reads clearly against the badge fill; orange is visibly darker without tipping into brown. Grey/red/lt-green (unchanged) still render as before, and orange/green stay visually distinct from grey/lt-green.

Other checks:

• Scoping is correct — the fix overrides color on the specific .frm-orange-tag/.frm-green-tag rules rather than the shared --orange token, so it can't affect other rules/sizes that reuse that token elsewhere.
• Compiled css/frm_admin.css diff verified byte-for-byte against the .scss change — the minified file is one line; the only hunk is that line, and the only substrings that differ are the two target rules' color values. Nothing else in the file moved.
• CI green across the board (Psalm, PHPStan, PHPCS, Stylelint, etc.) — no test suite applies to a pure color-value change.
• No accessibility/semantics regression — these are decorative text-color changes only, no markup/attribute change.

No blocking findings. Approving.

Follow-up, non-blocking — one thing worth clarifying in the PR description:

Closes #6646 resolves against this repo (formidable-forms), which has no issue #6646 — closingIssuesReferences on this PR is empty. The actual issue is Strategy11/formidable-pro#6646 (confirmed still open, filed by @NathanaelJonesIreland, and this PR's _meta-tag.scss change is exactly the token-level fix it asked for). Merging as-is won't auto-close it; the body needs Closes Strategy11/formidable-pro#6646 (owner/repo#N) for GitHub's cross-repo auto-link to fire.

Doesn't affect the code fix itself, which is verified correct — flagging so the tracked issue doesn't stay open after this ships.

[vivi-the-going-merry]

Fixed the cross-repo Closes reference per the note above — body now reads Closes Strategy11/formidable-pro#6646.

Method: PR-description edit (no code/commit change)

[vivi-the-going-merry]

Round 2 of this handoff arrived with no accompanying review, top-level comment, or inline comment — checked all three (reviews list, issue comments, PR review comments) plus the full timeline: nothing between my 16:11:49 reply and the 16:20:36/37 label swap.

Current state: PR body carries Closes Strategy11/formidable-pro#6646 (fixed last round), the sole review is APPROVED, latest CI run is green.

Suspected mechanism, worth a human check rather than a diagnosis from here: round 1's trigger was an Approve with a non-blocking note attached as a top-level comment, not an inline thread — no GitHub-native "resolved" state for that. If the review poll re-evaluates trigger state instead of diffing against my reply, the same condition could re-fire every round regardless of what changes.

Clearing vivi-working (and vivi-pickup, defensively) — this is round 2 of 3 under the round-trip cap, and re-filing franky-review with nothing new to review just spends round 3. Leaving this for a human call rather than guessing at unstated work.
