I am wondering if there are any packages that go about the job of checking if contrast issues are being coded into CSS? Maybe something that notifies you when you approach points at or near too little contrast

Google "w3c contrast checker" and use the one you like.

It won't notify you automatically, but Lighthouse Reports will catch contrast issues.

There's also an abundance of Chrome Extensions out there to check (maybe one of them will alert you automatically) - I like this one.

There may be a VS Code extension that can check your CSS for you?

That would be really cool - I personally haven't used any yet, but please let me know if you find one! I always check in the browser with a color contrast checker. There are also ones that let you use a color picker and check for different font sizes, which might be handy :)
