fix: eliminate AVIF/WebP grey halo on white backgrounds (v0.2.3)
Diagnosed visible faint grey rectangle around B&W ink art images on pages with pure-white backgrounds. Root cause was format encoder luminance shift in near-white pixels: Source JPG corner: (253,253,253) = #FDFDFD = 99.2% white AVIF q=65 (default): (250,250,250) = #FAFAFA = 98.0% (1.2% halo) WebP q=80 (default): (249,249,249) = #F9F9F9 = 97.6% (1.6% halo) Two changes: 1. avifenc now uses -y 444 (full chroma subsampling) instead of default 4:2:0. Brings AVIF corner to #FBFBFB = 98.4%, smaller file size as a bonus (~10% reduction on a typical art image). 2. WebP default quality raised 80 → 90. Reaches #FDFDFD = exact match with source JPG. File size increases ~30% but eliminates the halo entirely for WebP-capable browsers (vast majority). AVIF still has 0.4% residual halo (libavif 0.11.1 ceiling at this quality range — pushing higher yields no improvement, only file size). Acceptable tradeoff: WebP is the served-by-default fallback when AVIF isn't perfect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
