js/dyslexia-font.js sets `opacity: var(--dys-idle-opacity, .72)` on #dys-font-btn. That composites whatever ink the surrounding bar uses down by 28%. Measured on pinpointventures, where the bar's ink is #4b5563 at 6.41:1, the idle button came out #7d858f: 3.73:1, under AA. The comment above that rule argues, at length and correctly, that leaving the site's own ink alone is the one version that cannot go wrong, because it is the ink the site already chose for that bar. Then it takes 28% off it, which undoes exactly that guarantee. A control that exists so people who find text hard to read can read it should not be the hardest thing on the page to read. The default is 1 now. The idle/on distinction already rode on the border and the accent wash, plus OpenDyslexic in the label and aria-pressed for anyone who cannot see either, so nothing is lost by not dimming it. This file is copied into 18 repositories. Seventeen were byte-identical and one, JanVayu's, was ahead: it carries a 44px minimum touch target (WCAG 2.5.5 Target Size) and a placement option that the other seventeen never received. Both improvements are merged, and all 18 copies now hold the same file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01MrvR2NXsJFVRCeJZFCPuNL

What does this PR do?
The dyslexia-font toggle — the one control a reader who needs it is looking for — was painted at the lowest contrast on the page.
