## Rules

### 🛑 error (7)

#### `contrastRatio` → `roles.colors.text-primary-dark`

- **against:** `roles.colors.background-dark`
- **minRatio:** `7`
- **standard:** `WCAG-AAA`

> White on pure black is the primary text combination. WCAG-AAA 7:1 minimum is enforced — this is an operator-facing security tool where readability under stress is critical. 

#### `contrastRatio` → `roles.colors.primary`

- **against:** `roles.colors.background-dark`
- **minRatio:** `3`
- **standard:** `WCAG-AA-large`

> Electric blue (#1b67e8) on black must meet WCAG-AA-large for interactive elements rendered at 18px+ or bold 14px+. 

#### `contrastRatio` → `roles.colors.accent`

- **against:** `roles.colors.background-dark`
- **minRatio:** `3`
- **standard:** `WCAG-AA-large`

> Crimson red (#d41b2a) is used for destructive actions, critical findings, and red-team indicators. Must be distinguishable from background at large-text sizes. 

#### `forbiddenTreatment` → `assets.logo-mark`

- **treatments:** recolored, gradient-fill, drop-shadow, on-busy-photo

> The helmet mark's precise red/blue split is a core identity element. Recoloring, gradient fills, or drop shadows destroy the dual-identity meaning. Never render on a non-black or non-very-dark background. 

#### `forbiddenTreatment` → `assets.logo-mark`

- **treatments:** stretched, rotated

> The diamond-framed helmet is bilaterally specific — rotation or stretching misaligns the red/blue split and breaks the visual metaphor. 

#### `colorChoice` → `roles.colors.background-dark`

- **allowed:** black, surface
- **forbidden:** white, gray-100

> valkyre.ai is a dark-first brand. There is no light mode. Backgrounds must be black or near-black surface only. 

#### `accessibilityRequirement` → `ui.terminal-output`

- **standard:** `WCAG-AA`
- **criterion:** `1.4.3`

> The secure remote terminal and all CLI/log output must meet WCAG-AA contrast. Operators read terminal sessions under operational stress; low contrast is a safety risk. 

### ⚠️ warning (3)

#### `colorChoice` → `ui.cta-buttons`

- **allowed:** blue, blue-bright, red, red-bright

> CTAs are blue (primary actions) or red (destructive / offensive actions). Do not use violet, gray, or white for button backgrounds. 

#### `contextRestriction` → `roles.colors.accent`

- **forbiddenContexts:** marketing-hero, onboarding

> Crimson red is the red-team / offense color. Using it in marketing heroes or onboarding creates an adversarial first impression. Reserve for in-product red-team views, critical findings, and destructive-action confirmations. 

#### `compositionConstraint` → `roles.colors.accent`

- **doesNotPairWith:** error

> Brand red (#d41b2a) and error red (#dc2626) are visually similar but semantically distinct — brand red means "offense / red-team", error red means "system failure". Do not use them adjacent; rely on context and iconography to differentiate when both must appear. 

### 💡 recommendation (1)

#### `fontPairing` → `typography.display`

- **requires:** `inter@1.0.0`
- **minSizeRatio:** `1.25`

> Geist display headings should be at minimum 1.25x the size of Inter body text to maintain hierarchy. The wordmark uses rounded Geist; body copy uses Inter for legibility at smaller sizes.

A violet glow at the center split represents the AI cognitive engine.
