test(7377): add e2e DOM-contrast spec + extra unit cases

The previous coverage was unit-only, which is what let the original wrong-
reference-colour bug ship — the algorithm tests were green but nothing
exercised what the browser actually paints. New coverage:

Playwright (src/tests/frontend-new/specs/wcag_author_color.spec.ts):
- Sets the user's colour to the issue's exact #9AB3FA, types text, reads
  the rendered author span's computed bg + colour from the inner frame,
  and asserts the WCAG ratio between the two is >= 4.5. Repeated for
  #ff0000 (the other historically-failing case).
- Asserts #ffeedd (already AA-friendly) is rendered unchanged — guards
  against the clamp mutating colours that don't need it.

Backend additions (src/tests/backend/specs/colorutils.ts):
- Symmetric-clamp test: dark mid-saturation bg where light text wins, the
  clamp must darken (not lighten). Direction check via relativeLuminance.
- minContrast parameter: AAA (7.0) must produce more clamping than AA.
- Output shape: result must be a parseable hex string (round-trip safe).
- Short-hex (#abc) input is accepted and normalised.
