Full Release Notes

- **Kickers are banned.** New `kicker-above-heading` rule flags the first eyebrow label above any heading, replacing the old advisory that waited for three repeats. Breadcrumbs, datelines, card metadata, form labels, and document numbering all stay exempt.

- **New rule: `radial-spotlight-glow`.** The soft chromatic glow fading to transparent behind content, a favorite AI default, is now a named finding, distinct from the existing halo rule.

- **Stripes hiding in stylesheets.** Pseudo-element stripe patterns are now caught in standalone CSS files and style blocks, not just inline styles, and findings carry their source lines.

- **Scans skip what they should.** Hidden directories and vendored paths are out of the walk, while conventional UI source dirs like `.vuepress` stay in; scans get faster and quieter at once.

- **Fewer false positives.** Forms whose `id` shadows the DOM API no longer crash element checks, `background-clip: text` gradients stop tripping contrast, and non-rendered text is excluded from tiny-text findings.

- **OpenCode installs land where OpenCode looks.** Global skill installs write to the config directory OpenCode actually reads, with the legacy location migrated safely.
