There needs to be a preferences setting sent in the HTTP header to activate high contrast and low motion modes. Just having "dark mode" is not enough.

I agree, but I think you misread the comment you're replying to. They were referring to "dark patterns," a design feature used to trick users into taking actions they otherwise wouldn't. Much harder to flag :P

Sorry, I want all dark patterns to be surrounded by a high contrast "dark pattern border".

Would high contrast not be a CSS thing? I know `prefers-reduced-motion` is...
