Override design system tokens in app root CSS: --text-muted raised to 4.5:1 contrast in both light (#766A5E) and dark (#9A9088) modes; --text-faint dark mode raised from catastrophic 1.4:1 to 3:1 (#6A6058). Migrate --text-faint usages on readable text (empty states, italic notes, buttons) to --text-muted. Raise all 10px and 11px font-size declarations to 12px floor.
