The WCAG 1.4.3 contrast fix — dark green (#507020) with underline —
has been present in deploy/gitea-a11y/custom/public/css/a11y-fixes.css
since grafted commit aae8b59, but no PR ever linked it to issue #548.
Add:
- docs/issue-548-verification.md — acceptance criteria check, evidence, origin
- tests/test_issue_548_a11y_green_links.py — regression guard ensuring the CSS fix remains
This closes the open issue by documenting the already-deployed solution.

Issue #548 Verification — Green Inline Links Contrast Fix
Status: ✅ ALREADY IMPLEMENTED — Fix present on main since commit aae8b59
A11y finding: V4 — Green inline links (~#609926) on white background fail WCAG 1.4.3 (contrast). Severity: Medium. Affected pages: all.
Acceptance Criteria Check
| # | Criterion | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inline links in rendered markdown satisfy WCAG 2.1 AA contrast (≥ 4.5:1) | deploy/gitea-a11y/custom/public/css/a11y-fixes.css sets .markdown-body a to color: #507020 + text-decoration: underline. Contrast ratio ~5.5:1 on white (safe) |
| 2 | Non-color differentiation (underline) added for accessibility | text-decoration: underline !important present on plain links |
| 3 | Fix deployed to Gitea public CSS skin | File resides in deploy/gitea-a11y/custom/public/css/ — applied to Gitea forge |

Verification Commands
# Fresh clone verified
git clone --depth 1 https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config.git
grep -n "507020" deploy/gitea-a11y/custom/public/css/a11y-fixes.css
# → color rule present
grep -n "underline" deploy/gitea-a11y/custom/public/css/a11y-fixes.css
# → text-decoration rule present
Contrast calculation verified via standard WCAG luminance formula: #507020 vs white = ~5.5:1 (passes AA 4.5:1 minimum).
Origin
This fix was added in grafted commit aae8b59 (skills/memory hygiene contraction), but its commit message only referenced #881 and #958. The code comment inside explicitly names V4 (#548). No open PR ever tied this artifact to issue #548 — leaving the issue erroneously open.
Recommendation
Close issue #548 as already implemented. The code is live on the forge, meets WCAG, and requires no further repository changes.
