+# Cremote Changelog
+
+## Version 2.2.0-contrast-detection-fix (2025-12-09)
+
+### Major Improvements: Contrast Detection
+
+This release fixes three critical issues in the WCAG contrast checking functionality that were causing false positives and incorrect reporting.
+
+#### Fixed Issues
+
+1. **Gradient Background Detection** ✅
+   - **Problem:** Text on gradient backgrounds was incorrectly reported as white-on-white (1:1 ratio)
+   - **Fix:** Enhanced gradient detection to walk up the DOM tree and find gradients on parent elements
+   - **Impact:** Eliminates false positives for text on gradient backgrounds (e.g., hero sections with gradient overlays)
+
+2. **Solid Background Priority** ✅
+   - **Problem:** Gradient backgrounds were incorrectly applied to elements with solid backgrounds
+   - **Fix:** Modified gradient detection to stop when encountering solid backgrounds - only applies gradients when no solid background exists between element and gradient
+   - **Impact:** Ensures accurate background color detection for elements with solid backgrounds
+
+3. **Child Element Text Color Detection** ✅
+   - **Problem:** Tool used parent element's color (e.g., `<a>`) instead of child element's color (e.g., `<span>`)
+   - **Fix:** Added logic to check visible child elements and use their text color when present
+   - **Impact:** Accurate text color detection for complex DOM structures with styled child elements
+
+### Technical Details
+
+**Modified Files:**
+- `daemon/daemon.go` - Lines 9152-9220: Enhanced `analyzeGradientContrast()` function
+- `daemon/daemon.go` - Lines 9305-9340: Updated background detection logic
+- `daemon/daemon.go` - Lines 9257-9322: Enhanced text color detection
+
+**Version Updates:**
+- Daemon: `2.2.0-contrast-detection-fix`
+- MCP Server: `2.2.0-contrast-detection-fix`
+- CLI: `2.2.0`
+
+### Testing
+
+Test cases that now work correctly:
+- ✅ White text on gradient backgrounds (e.g., `linear-gradient(rgb(12, 90, 201) 0%, rgb(0, 0, 0) 100%)`)
+- ✅ Text on solid backgrounds with gradient ancestors
+- ✅ Links with styled child spans (`<a><span style="color: ...">text</span></a>`)
+
+### Upgrade Notes
+
+After deploying this version:
+1. Restart the cremote daemon service
+2. Restart the MCP server or Augment extension
+3. Re-run contrast audits on pages that previously showed false positives
+
