Comment:

 I'm switching to enhancement because
 [https://github.com/WordPress/twentytwentyfive/pull/103 PR 103] purposely
 used a lighter color for the post meta text row. The text is also smaller
 and inherits the Light 300 weight, so the Default gray is not easy for me
 to read (even though the contrast ratio is AA-compliant at 5.57:1).

 Accent 4 can be a problem if the chosen //section// style variation (e.g.,
 Style 1, Style 2) is significantly different than the site's style
 variation (e.g., Evening, Dusk). The contrast is not a problem when the
 section styles are not used, and even the Style 2 and Style 3 options can
 have enough contrast in Midnight.

 My testing process below confirmed that updating the template should not
 affect existing sites, leaving the original design for them.
 1. Create a new site with WordPress 6.9, which already has Twenty Twenty-
 Five activated.
 2. Go to the Editor and select the Single Posts template.
 3. Find the Group block for the main post content. (I clicked on the
 "Written by" text, and then selected the second Group block in the
 breadcrumbs "Template > Group > Group > Row > Paragraph".)
 4. View the block's Styles tab in the sidebar, and select Style 4 (or
 Style 5).
 5. Save.
 6. Create a theme update.
    - Apply the patch to another site, ideally a local installation.
    - Change the theme version number in `readme.txt` and `style.css`.
    - Compress the theme to a zip package. (I saved the package as
 `twentytwentyfive.1.4.1.zip`.)
 7. Go back to the new site.
 8. Go to Appearance > Themes, and click Add Theme.
 9. Click Upload Theme, select the theme zip package, and click Install
 Now.
 10. Click the "Replace installed with uploaded" button.
 11. Go to the Editor and select the Single Posts template again, and check
 whether the Row block still has Accent 4 as the text color.
