    I wonder if it's because of the font-weight being decreased. If I disable the `font-weight` rule in Firefox's Inspector the text gets noticeably darker, but the contrast score does…

    This is grossly unfair. You've entirely omitted the `dism /cleanup-image /(scan|check|restore)-health` rain dance
