style: let the stash indicator recede - #201

White put the quietest thing in the segment at its brightest: #e5e5e5 reads 13.2:1 against the terminal ground, above the 10.4:1 of ordinary prompt text, so a stash drew more attention than the states around it. A stash is something tucked out of the way for a moment, and the indicator should behave like what it marks: present, but not asking for anything. That is already what this config means by bright-black -- cmd_duration, username and the hostname's @ all sit there -- and it stays 56 to 99 from the other five in Lab, so nothing collides. It measures 2.9:1, under the 3:1 contrast floor. That floor is about text you have to read; this is a mark you either catch or you do not, and not catching it until you look for it is the right behaviour for something put away on purpose. cmd_duration has been at the same value all along.

whiteput the quietest thing in the segment at its brightest.#1e1e1ewhite#e5e5e5— shipped in #200#ccccccbright-black#666666A stash was drawing more attention than the text around it, which is backwards for something you retrieve eventually rather than act on now.
bright-blackis already what this config means by background information —[cmd_duration],[username]and the hostname's@all sit there. It stays well clear of the rest of the segment:The tradeoff, stated plainly
2.90:1 is just under the 3:1 contrast floor — the dimmest thing in the prompt. That is the intent here, and it is the same value
[cmd_duration]has always used, but it is a floor this crosses knowingly rather than by accident.If a stash turns out to be too easy to miss, dropping the style entirely (
[*${count}]()) lands at#cccccc/ 10.38:1 — recessive relative to the colored states without leaving the floor. That is also what powerlevel10k'smetaactually resolves to.Verification
