Research direction
Examine the Hugo theme's alert shortcode and its CSS for the 'secondary' alert type. The current color likely uses a variable like ` alert secondary color` or similar. Ensure the foreground/background contrast ratio meets WCAG AA standards. Search for related issues or PRs for previous contrast fixes. The fix will involve adjusting the CSS color variable in the theme's stylesheet.
