---

- **fixed** — Text contrast findings now measure real gradient and image backgrounds instead of assuming white ground, account for occluded elements, and decline to score when background cannot be read
- **changed** — data-impeccable-ignore now silences only the element carrying it rather than a whole rule across the file
- **changed** — ignore-file honors scope flags passed to it
- **added** — Hermes Agent and Google Antigravity providers are now available
- **fixed** — Quoted transition values in JSX no longer read as layout transitions
- **fixed** — Documented sidecar shadow colors are allowed inside shadow contexts
- **fixed** — Broken-image findings stop firing on commented-out source
- **fixed** — Explicitly selected providers install without --force
- **changed** — Post-install next step points at agent chat instead of the terminal
- **fixed** — Windows installs skip the POSIX hook guard
- **fixed** — Blade files turn up in directory scans
- **fixed** — Missing static-HTML parser dependency warns instead of quietly scanning nothing
- **fixed** — Paths with quotes or spaces no longer break commands by properly quoting shell values
- **fixed** — Quote escapes in YAML scalars are unescaped in DESIGN.md frontmatter so design systems with quoted values parse correctly

- **Contrast findings stop assuming white.** Text over a gradient, over an image, or under something else was scored against an assumed white ground, which manufactured low-contrast findings on perfectly legible pages. The engine now measures the real gradient body ground, accounts for image-backed text and for elements occluded by what sits above them, and declines to guess at all when a background genuinely cannot be read.

- **Waivers you can scope.** `data-impeccable-ignore` silences the element that carries it rather than a whole rule across the file, and `ignore-file` honors the scope flags you pass it.

- **Two more providers.** Hermes Agent and Google Antigravity install like the rest.

- **Fewer false positives elsewhere.** Quoted transition values in JSX no longer read as layout transitions, documented sidecar shadow colors are allowed inside shadow contexts, and broken-image findings stop firing on commented-out source.

- **Installs and scans that behave.** Explicitly selected providers install without `--force`, the post-install next step points at your agent chat instead of the terminal, Windows installs skip the POSIX hook guard, Blade files turn up in directory scans, and a missing static-HTML parser dependency warns instead of quietly scanning nothing.

- **Paths with quotes or spaces stop breaking commands.** Four places built shell commands by wrapping values in double quotes, which is not shell quoting. They now quote properly.

- **DESIGN.md frontmatter reads correctly.** Quote escapes in YAML scalars are unescaped, so a design system carrying quoted values parses instead of losing them.
