docs: record the semantic palette landing, and one claim that was false
The two findings recorded as too big for the contrast pass are fixed, so the plan says so. Also corrects a claim I made and did not check: the chrome does not stay dark under the light ramp -- that screenshot was taken before the theme propagated, which is the third time in two passes a picture read at the wrong moment produced a confident wrong claim.
