designesy-mcp 1.12.0 — semantic category wired (engine 42 checks)

What's new

Semantic category wired: v42 + v43. The semantic category carried a reserved weight (12) since v0.3.0 with zero checks scoring it — dead weight in the category table. Two deterministic checks now fill it:

• v42 — Semantic color vocabulary: classifies every color-valued token in :root as role-named (ink, paper, surface, danger, success…) vs hue-named (blue-500, slate-900…). PASS at ≥60% role share with ≥3 distinct roles. Grounded in the contract's own role-named palette and role-based naming best practice (zeroheight naming guide, Material 3).
• v43 — Semantic status colors: checks status-state coverage (ok/success, warn/warning, error/danger, info/notice) among color token names. PASS at ≥3 of 4 families.

Both checks are WARN-only (style craft, not user harm), self-SKIP when a site has no color tokens, and site-agnostic (no scope-tier registration). Wired identically in the standalone @designesy/score engine for CLI/site parity.

Engine grows 40 → 42 checks. The semantic category's weight 12 now enters the weighted denominator. Methodology page's reserved-weight note replaced with the live category description; all engine-count copy true-upped to 42 across ~55 files (historical surfaces keep their original counts).

Fixed

• Weekly-leaderboard write path un-rotted (six rot points fixed across this cycle): missing PR labels, seed-writer field stripping, CI /-prefixed protection contexts, Actions PR-creation permission disabled, first-time-actor CI gating, and the 15-min job timeout killing the auto-merge wait (now 25 min). First fully-unattended weekly cycle lands Monday 2026-09-07.
• Standalone @designesy/score engine v25/v34 category drift corrected (v25 → accessibility, v34 → identity).
