 # Cremote Changelog
 
+## Version 2.2.1-contrast-detection-fix (2025-12-09)
+
+### Improvements: Enhanced Text Color Detection
+
+This patch improves the text color detection algorithm to properly handle complex nested DOM structures.
+
+#### What Changed
+
+**Enhanced Recursive Search Algorithm:**
+- Previous version checked only direct children
+- New version recursively searches all descendant elements
+- Finds the element with the most text content (ignores `<br>`, empty elements)
+- Properly handles structures like `<a><span>text</span><br></a>`
+
+**Example Fix:**
+```html
+<a style="color: rgb(12, 113, 195)">
+  <span style="color: #ffffff;">314-560-7171</span>
+  <br>
+</a>
+```
+- **Before:** Used `<a>` color (blue) = 4.17:1 contrast ❌
+- **After:** Uses `<span>` color (white) = 21.00:1 contrast ✅
+
+**Modified Files:**
+- `daemon/daemon.go` - Lines 9301-9354: Implemented recursive `findTextBearingElement()` function
+
+**Version Updates:**
+- Daemon: `2.2.1-contrast-detection-fix`
+- MCP Server: `2.2.1-contrast-detection-fix`
+- CLI: `2.2.1`

 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
+   - **Fix:** Added recursive search to find the descendant element with the most text content and use its color
-   - **Impact:** Accurate text color detection for complex DOM structures with styled child elements
+   - **Impact:** Accurate text color detection for complex DOM structures like `<a><span>text</span><br></a>`

 **Before:** Always used the matched element's text color
 
 **After:**
-- Checks if the element has visible child elements with text
+- Recursively searches all descendant elements to find the one with the most text content
-- If child elements exist, uses the first child's color
+- Uses that element's color for contrast checking
-- This ensures we get the actual visible text color, not the parent container's color
+- Handles complex structures like `<a><span>text</span><br></a>`
+- Skips invisible elements (display: none, visibility: hidden)

+📊 SUMMARY
+✅ Version Confirmed
+MCP Server: 2.2.0-contrast-detection-fix
+Daemon: 2.2.0-contrast-detection-fix
+❌ Issue Still Present
+The contrast checker is still reporting:
+
+3 white-on-white issues (H1 + 2 paragraphs)
+These have background images that provide contrast
+Tool can't detect image backgrounds
+1 phone link issue (314-560-7171)
+Tool reports: Blue rgb(12, 113, 195) on black = 4.17:1
+Reality: White span rgb(255, 255, 255) inside link = 21.00:1
+The fix doesn't appear to be checking child element colors yet
+🔍 What's Happening
+The phone link structure is:
+
+<a style="color: rgb(12, 113, 195)">  <!-- Tool checks THIS color -->
+  <span style="color: #ffffff;">314-560-7171</span>  <!-- Should check THIS color -->
+  <br>
+</a>
+The contrast detection fix might need to:
+
+Recursively check child elements for actual visible text
+Use the child's color when the child contains the text content
+Ignore parent element color when children override it
