feat(website): rebuild the landing page around a live editor - #391
Merged
Conversation
The landing page's centrepiece was 54 decorative divs imitating the
application: a fake topbar, a fake chat panel, a made-up 0:12.4 / 7:03.6
timecode, and a four-stop grey gradient standing in for video. It carried
no heading, no img and no role, so it was invisible to a screen reader and
to a crawler both, and it was a drawing of an interface used to sell a
product that *is* an interface.
It is replaced by one photograph of the running editor followed by five
bands, each pairing a claim with a real frame of the application doing
exactly what the claim says. Where 54 divs said nothing, the section now
carries five h3s and ~450 words that a crawler can read.
Four rules hold throughout, and each one is load-bearing:
Nothing sticks. The page's only sticky object stays the navbar, which is
what keeps this immune to --ifm-navbar-height, to the navbar's z-index, to
a future theme wrapper creating a containing block and silently killing
`position: sticky`, and to 1.4.10 Reflow at 320 CSS px.
No text is ever set over video. Contrast against footage that runs from
near-black chrome to a white page cannot be computed, so every label sits
on a token surface instead.
One `<video>` element exists on the page at a time, ever. Two concurrent
H.264 decodes measured 120.9 -> 30.8 fps on hardware-accelerated Apple
Silicon, which is the best case any visitor gets; a band that is not the
active one is its own poster. A band that has played keeps its *last*
frame rather than reverting to its first, so scrolling back up shows
outcomes.
The reduced experience is designed rather than subtracted. The `opacity: 0`
start state exists only inside `prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference` and
inside `@supports (animation-timeline: view())`, so an engine without
scroll-driven animations and a reader who has asked for stillness never
meet it — the usual bug in this pattern, where `animation: none` strands
the content invisible, is designed out rather than patched. Under `reduce`
a band shows the clip's result frame from the start, and no clip byte is
requested.
The scroll treatment is fourteen lines of CSS and no JavaScript:
`animation-timeline: view()` moving text 8px on entry, transform and
opacity only. Nothing is scrubbed. Making footage frame-addressable costs
5-8x the bytes at this quality, and neither API that would verify it works
— `seeked` fires before any frame is presented, and
`requestVideoFrameCallback` goes silent whenever the element is not being
composited, which is exactly the condition under test.
The clips are silent and carry no audio track at all, which is what lets
them take WCAG 1.2.1's media-alternative-for-text exemption. That
exemption lapses the moment the prose stops saying everything the pictures
say, so read the section with `img, video { display: none }` before
editing a paragraph.
335,304 bytes of media in total, gated in CI: check-media-budget.mjs fails
the build over the per-file and directory ceilings, and fails any clip that
carries an audio track — WebKit grants gesture-free autoplay only to media
with no audio stream, so a clip encoded without `-an` plays perfectly on
the machine that made it and nowhere else.
Three pre-existing accessibility defects in the CSS this touches are fixed
alongside. The light-theme accent measured 3.63:1 and was used for 12.5px
inline text and behind white on both Download buttons; it is darkened to
#0a7d57 at the same hue, 4.96:1 on the page and 5.14:1 under white. The
site had no authored focus style at all — Infima defines `:focus` only for
`.close` — so there is now a global ring. And nothing compensated for the
60px sticky navbar, so every anchor jump on the site parked its target
underneath it.
The bento's editor, AI and captions cards are retired: bands 02, 03 and 04
now make those claims with real footage. Retiring the captions card also
removes the page's "Captions in 13 languages" figure, which was the count
of the app's *UI locales*; the docs say fifteen translation targets.
Two of the walkthrough's bands now scrub: the band grows past the viewport, both its halves pin, and scroll position walks the clip a frame at a time in whichever direction the reader is going. The zoom lands, the reply types itself, the render bar fills — at the reader's own pace, and reversible. This reverses an earlier decision, on measurements that were taken against the wrong thing. The objection was that frame-addressable footage costs 5-8x the bytes, which is true, and that it cannot be verified, which is also true — `seeked` fires at a p50 of 0.0 ms, before any frame is presented, and `requestVideoFrameCallback` goes silent whenever the element is not being composited. But both were priced against scrubbing a 25-second film. Measured on a 3.2-second beat at 960x540, all-intra is 402 KB at 30fps and 268 KB at 20fps against 32 KB for the played encode. Twenty frames a second is finer than a scroll resolves: a beat spans about a viewport of travel, so a frame lands every ~15 px, which is under one wheel notch. The pin is per band, not one stage held across the page — which is also what Apple's own product pages do, and it is the reason this degrades to nothing. Every rule hangs off one attribute set from the document head before the first paint. Turn it off — reduced motion, a screen under 901px, no `position: sticky`, no JavaScript at all — and the band is an ordinary picture beside an ordinary paragraph, which is the layout the other bands already use. There is no second implementation and nothing swaps at runtime; measured under `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce`, the band is 388px instead of 1829, the figure is `static`, the document is 5031px instead of 8305, and zero `<video>` elements exist, so not one clip byte is fetched. Both captions ship in the markup and CSS shows one, because which is true depends on a capability the server cannot know. Swapping the text after hydration would tell a reader "Scroll to run it" while it was false. Measured in a real headless Chrome over CDP, because the in-app browser pane never delivers IntersectionObserver callbacks while hidden — verified by attaching an observer by hand and watching it stay silent, which is worth knowing before trusting anything visibility-driven in that pane. Scroll progress maps to `currentTime` linearly across both bands, the figure holds its pinned offset throughout, and a 40-step sweep of the whole band completed 41 seeks with a worst case of 6 ms and none dropped. Six milliseconds is comfortably inside a frame; this is smooth because the file is all-intra, not because the loop is clever. The loop reads layout once per animation frame and only while the band is on screen, never on `scroll`. Seeks are quantised to the clip's own frames and held to one in flight; without that the decoder never finishes one before the next arrives and the picture drifts behind the wheel. Narrow viewports are excluded deliberately: a seek per frame is the most expensive thing on the page, phones pay for it in battery, and a pinned band on a short screen leaves the copy nowhere to go. The budget gate grew a separate ceiling for these files rather than a blanket raise, since an all-intra clip is a different kind of object from a played one. The total ceiling — the number that actually protects a repository with no LFS filter — has not moved. Only two bands have footage that can be scrubbed at all. Record, timeline and captions have no master to cut from, and a scrubbed beat additionally needs a monotonic progression with no dead time, which changes how it has to be shot.
Two faults, either of which alone hid the whole effect. The clip mounted, the
seeks landed, `currentTime` tracked the scroll exactly — and the reader saw a
poster that never moved. Nothing errored.
The element only became visible on `loadeddata`, which fires once. On a warm
load the file is already in the HTTP cache and reaches HAVE_CURRENT_DATA before
an effect can attach a listener, so the event was simply gone and the ready
state never turned true. The readiness is now read as well as subscribed to.
The signature is worth remembering: it works on the first visit and not on the
second, which is the opposite of how a caching bug is expected to feel.
The second is the one that would have shipped. `.clipReady { opacity: 1 }` and
`.clip { opacity: 0 }` carry equal specificity, so which wins is decided by
source order — and the production CSS optimiser merges rules that share a
declaration and moves the merged rule. In the built stylesheet `.clipReady` had
been folded in with Infima's `.alert .close:hover, .hash-link:focus` and
hoisted above `.clip`, inverting the cascade the design depended on. Dev, being
unminified, kept the source order and looked correct. Both pairs that relied on
order are now compound selectors, so the outcome no longer depends on what the
optimiser decides to do.
Verified against the production build in a real headless Chrome, with a fresh
browser profile — the run before this one still read opacity 0 purely because
the profile had the previous build's stylesheet cached, which is the same class
of mistake one level up.
Both bands now read opacity 1 at every scroll position, and a 40-step sweep
completes 41 seeks with a worst case of 3-7 ms.
…s, and a timeline that matches the document Every asset in the section is replaced from a session shot today. Three separate problems converged on one afternoon, which is the only reason it was worth interrupting anyone for. The webcam bubble in every previous master was a Pexels clip of an identifiable person. The licence permits commercial use but forbids implying endorsement by depicted people, which is exactly what a webcam bubble beside a product being demonstrated does. It is now switched off in the project document — `cameraTrack.visible` and `webcamLayoutPreset`, not in the capture request, which governs an unrelated file and would have changed nothing. The fixture was a fictional SaaS with a $0/$24/$60 grid, in front of an app that is free and MIT. It is now a documentation site for an invented open-source library. The prices were in two places, not one: in the canvas, and written out in the transcript panel, because the narration is spoken and then transcribed by the app's own Whisper — and that panel is itself a picture this page serves. The third is the one that gated the whole section. The vendored project document held three zoom regions and two trims; `02-timeline-a.jpg` showed two zooms and a lane still reading "Press T to add trim". A recreation generated from that document would have contradicted a photograph three hundred pixels above it. The plate, the timeline strip and the agent band are now three crops of one frame — take E at t=90.000s — so they cannot disagree with each other or with the document. Band 01 has footage for the first time. It shipped as a text-only card because no master contained a single frame of the recorder, which is the product's namesake feature. It is now the Rec panel: source set to a named window, system audio on, microphone off, camera off, cursor highlighting on. The first cut of it was the source picker, which was honest and useless — both tabs read "(1)" because the automation driving the shoot filtered the window list down to the one app it could see, so a modal that should demonstrate choice showed a single card. The second cut sliced the preview card against the frame edge. This one excludes the card entirely and keeps the mode switch, so nothing is halved. It ships at 820x461 rather than the section's usual 960 wide: the evidence is a column of five small rows, and any crop tight enough to read them without upscaling comes out narrower. The establishing plate now shows the editor at the end of a session rather than idle — the agent's reply, the green applied line, the two silences struck through in red in the transcript, and the two trims and three zooms on the timeline. It reads as the product used rather than the product waiting. It also costs more bytes: the post-agent frame is much denser, so the plate JPEGs were requantised to stay under the 70,000 B ceiling. `[silence 0.2s]` in the middle of the transcript is deliberately not struck through. It is under a second, so it was not cut, and it corroborates the reply's own claim that only the two end silences qualified. Every alt text is rewritten against the frame it now describes. The old ones quoted timecodes from footage that no longer exists — 0.0-2.24s and 33.88-40.03s, where the reply now reads 0-2.19s and 35.12-40.03s, seven seconds rather than eight and a half. Verified: 22 files, 1,356,355 B against the 1,600,000 ceiling; no clip carries an audio track; both AVIFs are smaller than the JPEGs behind them; and the two scrub bands still walk their clips frame by frame under a real headless Chrome — 41 seeks in a 40-step sweep, 6 ms worst case, opacity 1 at every position.
A full-bleed recreation of the OpenScreen editor in real DOM, around real footage of the recording it is editing. The reader scrolls; a camera moves through the interface in 3D; the interface changes state as it goes. This is a composite, the same way the application is one: the app draws its chrome in DOM and puts video in the canvas, and so does this. Recreated chrome alone would be a drawing of an interface used to sell an interface — which is exactly what this page deleted three commits ago, and the reason that deletion is the section's whole premise. What makes it different is not a promise. `scripts/gen-recreation.mjs` reads the project document, the app's locale files and the app's own `formatSec` / `effectiveZoomScale` / `buildClipSection` — imported and run, not reimplemented, because a hand-rolled `formatSec` returns `0:60.0` where the real one carries to `1:00.0`. Every string carries a PROVENANCE entry naming where it came from. Nothing that could not be sourced was invented to fill a gap: the chat's context pill is absent because its value is computed and cannot honestly read 0% beside a rendered reply, and there is no webcam bubble because the camera track is off in this project. Full bleed is what settled the mechanism. At 1440+ CSS px and 2x density a scrubbable all-intra clip runs to about 1 MB per three seconds and 5+ MB for the section, four times the budget and permanent in git. Live DOM is crisp at any size and any density for tens of kilobytes, and a perspective transform on live elements is what browsers are built for, where the same transform on video resamples a raster. Two clocks, named and never crossed. `video.currentTime` owns the transport digits, the playhead, the cue-word underline and the canvas frame; the scroll owns the camera and the presence of the edit-history objects. No readout has two sources and no scroll-driven rule touches a property the media clock owns — it is greppable, which is the point. Nothing is seeked: the canvas plays and loops. One rAF writes `element.style` directly rather than a CSS custom property, which was measured at 211 ms of style recalc against 8-9 ms because an inherited property invalidates every descendant. The three bands it replaces and the recreation are the same three claims told twice, so exactly one is ever visible. Both gates are pure CSS and exact mirrors — >=901px, `position: sticky` supported, not forced-colors — so there is no width at which a reader gets both or neither, and nothing waits for hydration to decide. Record and export stay at every width; they are separate screens in the app, not part of the editor. Verified: at 1440 the superseded block computes to `none` and the recreation to `block`; under `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` the recreation is `none` and the bands are back, with the document 5,971px instead of 9,161px and not one clip byte requested. The deck's old line, "Nothing here is a drawing of the interface", is gone. It is false on a wide screen now, and a claim that is true at 900px and false at 901px is worse than no claim. What replaces it keeps the half that is still checkable — the photographs are the application, and the drawn panels quote a file rather than an art director — and the recreation carries its own caption saying so in the figure itself. Nothing focusable, no `role="img"`, the transcript and chat exposed as real selectable text, the chrome `aria-hidden`, and the accessibility tree fixed at the closing state so it never mutates under a linear reader. The framing still needs a pass: the camera holds are readable but the copy panels crowd the scene at two of the five acts. Shipped for review rather than polished blind.
The engineering of this section is finished and the composition is not, and the reason is in the record: the specification it was built from was exact about transforms, keyframes and Z offsets, and silent about what the thing should look like. Five thousand lines were generated from that text and nobody looked at the result until the end. A composition is not designed that way. The brief names the structural fault rather than the symptoms. The scene is authored at the app's literal 1920px so 11px pill labels stay at 1:1 — the right instinct, and the reason the panels are drawn rather than photographed. But a 1920px scene in a 1440px viewport cannot be seen whole, so every camera hold frames a fragment and no moment in the scroll shows an editor. Authoring at 1:1 and filling the viewport are in direct tension and the build resolved it by silently choosing 1:1. The brief states that as a problem with four possible exits rather than prescribing one, because the current answer being wrong does not make the opposite answer right. It also fences what may not move, since the valuable part of this section is not its layout. Every string on screen is emitted by a generator that reads the project document and the app's own functions, and carries a provenance entry; layout, colour, transform and motion are free, but what is said is not. The two clocks stay separate, nothing is seeked, the gates stay exact mirrors of the photographic bands' inverse, and the budget has 12,744 bytes left — with the four now-redundant scrub clips named as the 865 KB that can be reclaimed if more is needed. Written to be usable by whoever executes it, including by me on a second pass.
The recreation was drawn at 1:1 in a 1920px scene and flown over by a camera. In a 1440px viewport that scene can never be seen whole, so every hold framed a fragment of an interface rather than an interface — and it was boxed into the page's 1040px measure on top of that, which left a whole editor drawn at a third of its natural size. Restaged. Nothing is drawn that the current beat does not need. Act one is the composite and one inspector panel: swap the background, drag the padding, restyle the cursor — three settings a still frame can carry, so the timeline stays off stage and the picture takes the room. Act two brings the floor in once and keeps it: zooms placed by the wizard, a note pinned at the playhead, cuts arriving on the trim lane as silences leave the transcript. Everything is sized to the viewport, and the band escapes `.inner` to get one. One clock. Scroll becomes scene seconds; in act two scene seconds become document seconds, and the playhead, the pill under it, the composite's magnification and the transcript's cue are four readings of that number. No media element, no second timebase. React renders once and stays out of the frame loop: `driver.ts` writes about twenty custom properties on one element, and which pills exist is a count per lane that each pill compares against its own index in CSS. More of the panel is real than before. `PANELS` and `CONTROLS` carry every title and every slider at this document's own setting, scaled and suffixed the way RightPanes.tsx does it — cursor size is `size * 10` over 5–100 with one decimal and no unit, which is exactly the kind of thing a hand-written panel gets plausibly wrong. The padding slider moves the composite through PreviewCanvas's own clamp, evaluated per frame. The swatches are the 18 wallpapers the app ships and the one selected first is the one the document names. Fixed along the way, all of it found by looking at screenshots rather than at source: - the waveform rendered as nothing, because its paths are strokes and the rule filled them; - the figcaption sat one viewport into a six-viewport band and showed through the sticky stage for the rest of the ride; - postcss-calc silently dropped a container unit multiplied by a custom property, in the production build only; - the driver decided its media-query gate once at mount, so a reader who widened a narrow window got the scene frozen at its resting frame; - reduced motion got a correct still editor and not one of the six claims; - a second of empty screen at the act change, twice, from beats with gaps between them; - the last cut landed on the final frame of the last scroll, where nobody would see it. Reclaims 672 KB: 04-agent's scrub pair could never be fetched by anyone (the band is display:none where scrubbing is on, and scrubbing is off where the band shows), and the canvas loop has no reader left now that the composite is DOM around a still of the recorded page. The budget is down to 1,138,663 B from 1,587,256 B with fifteen new files in it.
The editor demo was the fifth thing on the page, wedged between a photograph of the same editor and three bands of footage saying what it had just said. It is the argument, so it now follows the hero directly and the page is organised around it. The section that carried it is gone. What it did — a plate, five bands, an autoplay toggle, a chapters nav, a per-band video element, a scroll-scrubbed rendition and the two hooks driving them — was machinery for playing clips, and there are no clips on this page any more. The editor above is the only thing that moves. Editorially the rest splits in two, and the split is the point: A photograph earns its place when the claim is about something you have to see. Captions are type rendered over video; the agent's reply is prose with real timecodes in it. Both keep their frame. Recording and exporting are settings and a progress bar. A screenshot of a format dropdown proves nothing a sentence does not, and pads a page whose argument is that this application is quick. They are two sentences and a specification line each. If a claim in that section ever needs an image to be believed, the claim is what to fix. "Three things a clip can't show" is now "a screenshot", because there is no clip; and the heading above the three is doing a different job from the one above the four — properties, not capabilities. Fixed while looking at it: - the hero handed straight over to the editor heading with no air, since it had been relying on a plate section's own padding; - the band's first screen is visible under that heading before anyone scrolls, and the beat table started at 0.6s, so the one frame every reader is guaranteed to see was an empty stage; - the heading was left-aligned on the 1096px measure, 200px above a caption at 5% of a full-bleed stage — near enough to read as a failed alignment rather than a different one. Centred, like the page's other section headings; - the recreation's figcaption said "the editor above" at widths where no editor is drawn; - six 34px claims stacked on a phone read as six sections rather than a list. Media is down to 398,030 B from 1,138,663 B, and `static/video` is empty: the export clip and its scrubbed rendition, the record, timeline and export stills and the establishing plate all illustrated claims that are now either animated or told. The budget guard keeps the video rule — it is a guard, not a description.
Groundwork for the v4 recreation, which draws real cursor art instead of
a lucide arrow: the ten packs its picker shows are ten the application
actually ships in `public/cursors/`, so they are copied from there rather
than redrawn, and `cursorThemes.ts` is imported to emit the table.
That import works for a reason worth recording: the module's only import
is `import type { NativeCursorType }`, which Node's type stripping
removes, so the `@/` alias never has to resolve and the generator gets
the real thing.
The hotspots are the point of reading the table at all. The two sources
spell them differently — `DEFAULT_CURSOR_SPRITES` stores a fraction of
the image (0.119), a theme stores the same quantity against the
~32-logical reference its file header describes (1.5, i.e. 1.5/32) — and
mixing them up puts every pointer a few pixels off its own tip in a way
that looks like sloppy animation rather than a units bug. Both are
normalised once, in the generator.
Also here: the four wallpapers the background beat steps through, the
canvas poster restored (the recorded page embeds it), and a budget rule
for the cursor directory — each sprite is a 32-logical asset at 128px, so
a five-figure file there means a full-resolution source got shipped by
mistake.
39 files, 497,627 B.
Replaces the stock clip the design pointed at, which was a green-screen
plate of an identifiable actor served from assets.mixkit.co — an external
host on the critical path, and a file whose own User Terms (§9) forbid
making it available to third parties, which is what committing it to a
public repository and serving it from the site would do. This one is
generated, so there is no person to misrepresent and nothing to license.
Post-processing, and why each part:
scale=640:360 Not cropped — the source framing is kept. The bubble is
a 16/10.5 rounded rectangle with object-fit: cover, so a
16/9 source loses ~7% off each side before the Ken Burns
scale crops further. 640 wide leaves well over 2x for a
bubble that is ~150 CSS px.
fps=20 The clip is never played, only seeked: the scroll sets
currentTime. Twenty frames a second is finer than a
scroll resolves.
-g 10 Half-second keyframe interval. A seek into a long GOP
has to decode from the preceding keyframe, and this one
is seeked on every frame of the ride.
-an Required, not tidiness: check-media-budget fails any mp4
carrying an audio track, because WebKit grants
gesture-free autoplay only to media with no audio
stream at all — `muted` is not enough on iOS.
-b:v 130k h264_videotoolbox has no CRF mode, so the ceiling is set
by bitrate. 168,555 B against the 200,000 B per-file cap.
2,548,476 B in, 168,555 B out. The AI generator's watermark sits at x≈95%
of the frame, which the aspect mismatch alone removes (cover shows
7%–93%) and the Ken Burns scale removes with room to spare — so the
bubble's minimum scale is a constraint, not a free parameter.
Five beats where there were six, v4's grid, its travelling pointer, its rail, and its footage — the Fern page, the app window that opens mid-take, and the webcam. The grid is the reason for the rest. v4 computes it in JavaScript from a measured stage; it is done here in `calc`, which removes the measurement, the resize handler and the re-render that came with them. A nav band, a 336px inspector, a 116px caption block, and the composite contained in what is left and centred between the nav and the floor — with the panel's height locked to the composite's, which is the alignment the whole design hangs on. Lengths in that arithmetic are vw/vh/px and never `%`. Not style: a custom property is substituted as text, so a `%` inside `--vw1` would resolve against the *height* wherever that variable is used in a height context, and the composite would mis-size on one axis only. Two timebases, one input. While the playhead crosses the speed region the recording runs at 2.2x, and after it the footage stays 2.4s ahead — which is what a ramp does to everything downstream, and why the transport does not read the scene clock. The webcam is on the footage clock too: never played, only seeked, latest-wins so the decoder never builds a queue. The pointer aims at real controls — a swatch, a slider's 48% mark, a word in the transcript — measured by `data-t` into a cache. Which is where two defects came from, both found by looking at a screenshot rather than at the source: - three of the four panes are `display: none` at any moment and a closed pane's children have no box, so one measuring pass left every target at its fallback and the pointer spent the ride ~100px from everything it was clicking. Each pane is now opened in turn and measured alone — which is also the only correct way, since they share a flow container; - the five trims took their opacity from `:nth-of-type`, which counts siblings of the same *element*, and the rail is full of spans. Five rules matched five arbitrary nodes and every cut showed from the first frame, before the word that makes it had been struck. Both cursor sprites are the app's own art at the app's own hotspots, so the tip lands on the target instead of near it. Divergences from v4, both deliberate: the webcam clip is the generated one rather than the stock plate of an identifiable actor its `src` pointed at, and the waveform stays the real one. Everything else — the transcript, the five trims, the three zooms, the ramp — is v4's staged session, and the figcaption now says the session is staged while the chrome is derived, rather than implying the whole thing came out of a project file.
The bubble was panning, zooming and rotating on the footage clock while the clip underneath it was also being scrubbed on that same clock. Two kinds of movement at once, and the wrong one read: a Ken Burns on the element is what a still photograph gets, so the bubble looked like a decorated still rather than what it is — footage whose transport is the scroll. The design's own markup settles it. Its `webcamStyle` computes exactly that pan-and-rotate and then never binds it: the element ships a literal `transform: scale(1.15)`, and every frame of motion in the bubble comes from `currentTime`. So the transform is fixed at 1.15 and the four variables behind it are gone. The scale is not free — a 16/9 source in a 16/10.5 frame already loses ~7% a side, and 1.15 takes it to ~13%, which is what keeps the generator's watermark at x≈95% out of frame. Checked against the running page, and the last two rows are the ones that matter: at scene 22.0 the footage clock is at 24.4 and the video sits at 4.37 (it loops at 10s), at scene 25.0 the clock is 27.4 and the video is at 7.40. The bubble is following the ramp, not the scroll.
Full-screen, so the recreation begins only once the hero is scrolled past — which is what "it arrives after the screen" asks for and what the previous half-height block did not do. "Screen Recording / Reimagined", the NEW · Export faster badge, one primary call to action and the scroll hint, all as the design has them. Two things kept that the design drops, both deliberate: The pre-release note. It is the one line on the page that manages expectations, and a pre-release that does not say it is one is the kind of omission that costs trust exactly once. "Read the docs". The design leaves a single call to action; this project's own audience arrives from a repository, and removing the only route into the documentation from the front page is a navigation change rather than an art-direction one. The descriptor stays inside the h1. "Screen Recording / Reimagined" alone gives the page's only h1 no subject, which reads fine on screen and badly in a search result.
Two asks, and the second one turned out to be the visible end of a bug. The join between the two takes was 0.4s — 36px at 90px/s — which is a lot of floor showing between two clips that are meant to read as consecutive on one track. It is 0.13s now, about twelve pixels. The clips looked cut off along the bottom because they were. The floor measured 707..917 inside a 900px stage: it was hanging 17px below its own `bottom: 0`, and the last 8px of every clip was outside the viewport. The cause was a `transform` transition of 0.75s on a value the scroll drives. `--tl` had already settled at 1 while the transform was still easing toward it — `matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 16.33)` with `--tl: 1` — so the floor was permanently chasing a target it only reached if the reader stopped scrolling and waited. Easing a scroll-driven value twice is the mistake. `--tl` is now a ramp in the score rather than a 0/1 switch with CSS doing the easing, and the transitions that read it — the floor's transform, the panel's top and height, the composite's box — are gone. Everything keyed to that value now moves together and lands exactly, which is the whole reason the system has one clock. Measured after: floor 690..900, identity transform, clips 841..891 with nine pixels of floor beneath them.
The scroll demo was only half the design. The rest of the landing page still carried the previous cut: two claims illustrated with photographs, two claims with nothing at all, and a bento of cards under them. v4 makes all four claims a drawn panel and sets the coda as three columns of prose. This ports that. The four panels are DOM — a recorder with its two capture targets, an export with its frame counter, the captions inspector over a burned-in line, and the agent's reply with its timecodes. That reverses the editorial split this section used to carry, and the reversal is honest: the old argument against illustrating the recorder and the encoder was that a screenshot costs a request and goes stale against the next repaint. It was an argument about photographs. A drawn panel costs neither, re-renders in the page's own typeface, and swaps with the theme. The reason to withhold the picture was its price. Both wallpapers in the panels are already on the page — the composite the editor scrubs loads them — so the four panels add no request and no byte. That leaves the last four JPEGs on the landing page unreferenced, and they go: static/ ships wholesale to the CDN and is committed forever, so an unused plate is not free. 04-agent-a.jpg is cited in PROVENANCE as the only existence of the agent conversation; it now survives in history, which is where editor-1560.jpg has always been. The generator's note says so. Each panel is one role="img" with a written label. Two dozen interface fragments — "Display 1", "60 fps", "62%" — mean nothing read out of the picture they are drawn in, and the strings stay in the DOM for anything that reads markup rather than the accessibility tree. Also here: the coda's three cards become three columns divided by rules, the kicker and section-title styles pick up the design's weights, and the container widens to the design's 1080. Measured on the built site — 130px from the section's top edge to its heading, 140px from the last band to "Also true" and again to "Quick start" — all three the design's. Verified at 1440, 820 and 420, in both themes, against the production build: no horizontal overflow at any width, and every declaration survives minification, which is not a given here — postcss has silently dropped two rules on this page before.
Measured first, on the production build, driven over CDP. The frame loop came back clean and is left alone: through the whole scroll of the scene, React never re-renders, the driver mutates exactly one element's style attribute, and no frame exceeds 16.7ms even with the CPU throttled 4x - one frame at 6x. Tree-shaking is clean too: PROVENANCE is absent from every built chunk, and of sixteen lucide icons the page never imports, none appear in any of them. So the waste was not in the loop. It was in the bytes and in one filter. THE WALLPAPERS WERE HALF INVISIBLE. The composite draws them into a 16:9 box with object-fit: cover, so only the middle 56% of a square file was ever on screen - the rest decoded on the main thread and was thrown away. Recut from the application's own originals (2800px to 7680px square) to 1200x675. That is fewer bytes AND a better picture, which is worth stating because it sounds like a trade. Against a lossless reference the new q52 crop differs by a mean of 1.34/255, max 38; the file it replaces differs by 1.53, max 66. It wins because it is encoded once from the original instead of from an already compressed intermediate. 158,332 B -> 101,525 B. AVIF was measured and rejected, not skipped. sips at q75 gives 12.6 KB but a mean delta of 1.85 and a max of 114 - visibly worse than the JPEG it would replace, which is what banding on a smooth gradient looks like in a number. A better encoder might win this; the one on this machine loses it. SIX WALLPAPER SWATCHES WERE NEVER DRAWN. WALLPAPER_COUNT_SHOWN is 12 and the strip picks its twelve by index, which never selects wp-03 or wp-14 upward. They shipped to the CDN and sat in git regardless. 34,691 B. THE CAPTION PLATE'S BLUR DID NOTHING. Its backdrop is always the smooth bottom of the wallpaper - the drawn window stops at 70%, the plate starts at 91% - and blurring a smooth gradient returns the same gradient. Removing it moves 0.8% of the panel's pixels by a mean of 0.13/255, all on the plate's own edge. It was buying a compositing layer and a backdrop read-back for that. Also: the figcaption under the editor is gone. It was not in the design and it was explaining the page to itself. And the two panels that reuse the composite's wallpapers had width/height attributes still claiming 1200x1200. Static media 527,613 B -> 436,115 B. Mobile, where the scene is display:none and the video's preload="none" already keeps it off the wire, drops from 132 KB of media to 92 KB. FCP and LCP unchanged at ~172ms, CLS still 0. Not done, and why: 66% of the render-blocking stylesheet (85,841 B raw, ~23 KB gzipped) is Infima and the docs theme, which this page does not use. Purging it is a Docusaurus-wide change that puts every docs page at risk to save a landing page some bytes, and that is a different commit with a different test plan.
…g an ease Three findings from an adversarial audit of the page, each verified here before it was acted on. A QUARTER OF THE RENDER-BLOCKING STYLESHEET WAS TWO CURSOR SPRITES. Webpack inlines a small url() referenced from a CSS module as a data URI, so --shot-cursor and --ui-cursor became 10,770 bytes of base64 in the one stylesheet the whole site blocks on — 9,139 of them after gzip, 25.9% of that file, carried by every docs page, none of which has a .stage on it. Measured by stripping the data URIs from the built sheet and re-gzipping. They move to an inline style on the stage element, which is provably the same place: `root` IS `.stage`, and driver.ts already writes both properties onto that element's inline style when the cursor theme changes. It is server rendered, so the no-JS and reduced-motion resting frames are unchanged, and the two PNGs are now fetched as files — which they already were, for the picker. 35,232 -> 26,608 gzipped bytes. .appWin EASED AN ALREADY-EASED VALUE. Its opacity and transform read --vis, which is min() of two clamp() ramps off --tf — a value the driver rewrites every rAF. The `* 8` in those clamps is the ease; a 0.25s transition on top of it means the rendered opacity never equals the driver's, the window keeps fading up to a quarter second after the scroll stops, and scrubbing back strands it mid-fade. This is the third time this page has shipped that bug (--tl on .floor, then on the panel), so the deleted rule now carries the reason. Checked the other nine transitions in the file: every one of them is triggered by a data-beat or data-bg attribute flip, which is a discrete state and exactly what a transition is for. --panel looked like a fourth case and is not: scene.ts:450 emits `panelOn ? 1 : 0`, a switch. THE DRIVER LEAKED TWO LISTENERS PER BREAKPOINT CROSSING. index.tsx re-attaches on every change of the three SCENE_QUERIES; the teardown removed the two window listeners but not the two on <video>, which outlives the driver because it is the same element on re-attach. Each pair retained a dead driver's closure. The fonts.ready callback was unguarded for the same reason — already resolved by the time of a re-attach, so it ran a second full measuring pass, five panes opened and closed, for a driver that had been thrown away. The stylesheet number is the one that matters, and it is not a landing-page number: it is every page on the site.
…in it Four things, three of them reported from the page rather than found in it. THE TIMELINE SNAPPED BECAUSE THE DRIVER ROUNDED THE RAMP AWAY. The score eases --tl over a stretch of scroll; driver.ts wrote it with `toFixed(0)`. Every value between the two acts became 0 or 1, so the floor, the panel and the composite crossed in a single frame no matter how long the ramp was. That call dates from when --tl was a switch, and it survived the commit that made it a ramp — which is why the earlier fix, easing the value in the score, looked right in a still and still snapped in motion. Three decimals now, and the ramp lengthened from 0.55s to 1.5s: 2% of the band was a wheel notch. Measured through the crossing, --tl now reads 0.076, 0.305, 0.600, 0.863, 0.997 and the floor tracks it at 903, 850, 782, 722, 691. THE INSPECTOR WAS AS TALL AS THE VIDEO WHETHER OR NOT IT HAD ANYTHING TO PUT THERE. Effects needs 418px, the transcript 215px, and both were stretched to 538px, leaving a column of empty surface under the last control. It is capped now rather than sized: max-height off the video's box, height auto, and the top placed on the video's centre line with the box pulled back half its own height. Both numbers come off --v-t/--v-w and not off --pnl-top/--pnl-h, which is the non-obvious part: the panel's slot is taller than the video once the timeline is in, so centring on the slot puts the panel 70px below the picture it belongs beside. Measured at every beat: the centres now differ by 0px wherever the panel is visible, and by 12px only on frames where it is faded out, which is its entrance offset doing its job. The translate is two functions, not one calc: `calc(-50% + Npx)` mixes a percentage with a length and postcss-calc drops what it cannot fold. Checked the built sheet for all three new declarations rather than assuming. THE COMPOSITE'S CORNER HAD A GAP. The 1px accent ring follows .card's radius and the picture is clipped by .cardClip, which is inset:0 on that same box — 16px against 18px, so the two arcs part company across the quadrant and a dark crescent opens between them, widest at 45 degrees. The design has the same mismatch; this does not, because it was reported from a screenshot of the running page. Reproduced at 6x, fixed, re-checked at 6x. Also: the webcam bubble gets a poster. preload="none" and a src the driver withholds until the reader is in the band meant that bordered, shadowed box painted empty for just over a second on a 1.5 Mbps link. The poster is set by the driver rather than in the markup, so it is fetched only above 901px where the bubble is actually drawn — mobile media is 81,285 B, down from 92,249. And the swatch strip is warmed on the same in-band gate that primes the clip. Twelve lazy images inside a display:none pane never intersect anything, so all twelve were requested at the moment the beat opened and the strip painted blank into it. Warming them in the driver keeps that off every phone: eager markup would have billed 48 KB to readers who never see the strip.
…asides THE TRANSCRIPT PANEL SHOWED UP BEFORE THE BACKGROUND PANEL. Reported from the running page, and it was not a load race: the five beats did not tile the scene. There were three gaps — [0, 0.6) before the first beat, [14.5, 15.0) between cursor and timeline, [19.5, 19.6) between timeline and transcript — and in a gap `frameAt` returns no beat, so driver.ts ran `delete root.dataset.beat` and the stylesheet's `.stage:not([data-beat])` rule took over. That rule is not a blank state. It is the RESTING frame, built for readers who never get the driver at all — no JS, or reduced motion — and it is the scene at its closing values: timeline in, transcript panel open. So a gap did not show nothing, it showed the end of the story, and [0, 0.6) is the state of the stage on every approach to the band. The other two are invisible only because the panel happens to be faded out across both. The beats now tile [0, 26] with no gaps, and the driver sets `data-beat` without ever unsetting it mid-run, so a future gap degrades to a stale caption rather than to the closing frame. Verified at the old gap times: 0.1/0.3/0.5 are style, 14.7/14.9 are cursor, 19.55 is timeline. Also, two asides the page could not afford: The hero's "OpenScreen is not production-grade" line is gone. The caveat is already in docs/intro.md, in a warning admonition, on the page someone reads before installing. In the hero it sat under the download button contradicting both the badge above it and the 1.9.5 in package.json, and "expect rough edges" is not something a reader can act on — the README's version, which names the project format and the CLI as the things that will break, is. The editor's heading block is gone too: kicker, title, and a deck explaining that what follows is not a video. The design has none of it, and the six beats caption themselves. The h2 survives as screen-reader-only text — without it the outline runs h1 straight to six h3s, and the section's aria-labelledby has nothing to point at. The skip link survives visibly on focus, because the band is still six viewports to tab through. And the hero's scroll hint, which the design writes as "Scroll to ride the demo", now states the mechanism instead: the scroll position IS the clock the edit runs on. It is hidden below 901px and under reduced motion, where the driver never attaches and the claim stops being true.
…s the take Asked for a longer transcript that matches the footage, with its length bound to the screen — and asked not to ship it if it could not be made robust. Measuring the coupling first turned up a bug that had to be fixed before any of it. THE FIFTH CUT WAS ALREADY PLAYING OFF-SCREEN. The transcript window is capped at `--pnl-h - 120`, and --pnl-h is the panel's SLOT, which tracks 100vh with no floor. Measured: 458px of window at 1600x1000, 358 at 1440x900, 158 at 1440x700 and 98 at 1280x640 — against a fifth strike that lands at 117px. So on a short laptop the last cut of the demo happened below the fade, where nobody could see it, and lengthening the text would have spread that to more sizes. The cap now comes off the video's own box, which is the same number the panel is capped at and never collapses that far: 214px at 1280x640, 274 at 1440x700, 417 at 1440x900. TWO GUARDS, BECAUSE THE ASK WAS "NOT IF IT IS NOT ROBUST". CUT_INDEX was already derived from the tokens' own `cut` field, so words can be added and removed freely — but STRIKE_T is positional, and changing the number or order of cut tokens would silently land every later strike on the wrong word. That is now a throw at module load. The second guard enforces that tail tokens sit after the last cut: text flows forward, so hiding a word after the last strike cannot move anything above it, and hiding one before a strike would move every struck word and every pointer target under it. With those in place the rewrite is safe by construction. The take now narrates what the footage shows — pairing a soil sensor in the Fern garden — instead of an export flow the picture never performs. Five removable tokens, same order, same durations, so STRIKE_T never moved. THE TAIL IS BOUND TO VIEWPORT HEIGHT, which is what the window's own cap is derived from: base text everywhere, one more sentence above 820px, another above 960px. Hidden by default and revealed upward, so the short screen is the case that is correct by construction rather than the one left to overflow. Verified: the last strike sits at 117px at 1280x640, 1440x900 and 1600x1000 — the same 117px as before the rewrite, because the text above it is the same height. The strike ladder steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 across the five unchanged times. Text fits inside the window at every size measured. Also: the first silence read "0.5s silence" while the other two read "[silence 0.6s]". It reads like the others now.
Reported as cursor drift after the panel change, and correctly diagnosed as a container problem. It was three, stacked, and the panel change only exposed them: measured 151px off on the effects and cursor beats, 16px on the palette. The pointer's targets are cached as percentages of the stage, measured once by opening each pane in turn. Everything below is about that pass measuring the scene in a state it is never actually in. ONE — frameAt TAKES PROGRESS, NOT SECONDS. The rAF calls it as frameAt(off / span). The measuring pass handed it a beat's midpoint in seconds, which is far past the end of a 26-second scene, so every beat came back with the closing act's frame — including the three that play in the opening one. --tl was 1 for all five, and the whole left column measured 151px from where it plays. That is the distance the video's centre travels between the acts, which is why the number was the same on both beats. TWO — THE LAST BEAT THAT CAN SEE A TARGET WAS WINNING. The timeline beat keeps the cursor pane on screen so the panel does not empty while it fades, which makes that pane measurable twice: once in its own act, once in the other one. Last-write-wins took the second. Now the first beat that can see a target owns it, and a target may name its owner explicitly. THREE — THE TRANSITION WAS ANSWERING INSTEAD OF THE LAYOUT. The panel and the palette hold their boxes at an entrance offset through a transitioned transform. A rect read in the same tick as the variable changes returns the value the transition is LEAVING. So the palette measured 16px high and the panel 12px. Transitions are now suppressed for the pass, by an attribute the driver sets and clears inside one task. The measuring pass now writes the beat's whole geometry — --tl, --panel, --palette — from that beat's own frame. They are listed in one place with the rule for what belongs there: if the stylesheet uses the variable in a top, a transform, a height or an inset, it goes in the list. That is the part that keeps this from coming back, because the failure is silent — nothing throws, the pointer just spends a beat somewhere else. Verified across all twelve targets the pointer score aims at, from the wallpaper swatches to the last struck word: worst vertical error 1px, from 151.
The take scrolls the Fern site far enough to reach its feature row, and that row was three empty boxes with a gradient in them — the one part of the recorded window that read as unfinished rather than as a website. Asked whether that was fallout from the performance pass: it was not, it had never been ported. Ported now, from the design: the social proof strip — three overlapping avatars, "Loved by 12,400 gardeners", "38 countries", "4.9 avg rating" — and the three cards under it, each with the thumbnail the design draws. Auto schedules gets its two rows of seven dots in the pattern the design sets, Soil signals its four bars at 34, 58, 44 and 62 per cent, Harvest notes its three lines at 82, 64 and 74. Every colour here is a literal and stays one. The recorded page is somebody else's website, so it is a light document whether or not the reader has the site in dark mode — the same reason the window controls above it are the system's three and not tokens. Sizes stay in cqw/cqh like the rest of the drawn page, which keeps the whole thing tied to the composite's width as it scales. No custom properties are multiplied by a container unit anywhere in it: postcss-calc drops that silently and only in a production build.
…nstant Blocking the portrait work, and rightly called out: at a fixed 90 pixels per second of footage the rail shows sixteen seconds on a 1440 stage and four on a phone. Four seconds is not a timeline — it is one pill at a time drifting past — so no portrait layout was worth drawing until this moved. The reference is now the SPAN rather than the scale. Sixteen seconds is what 1440px at K already gave, so that is the constant, and the scale falls out of the width. Capped at K, so nothing wider than the reference zooms in: a large display goes on showing more of the take instead of the same amount, larger. Measured — 1440: k 90, 16.0s, exactly as before. 1024: k 64, 16.0s, up from 11.4. Pills and ruler stay nailed together at both, because both are placed through the same variable. That is the other half of this. The scale was written down twice — `K = 90` in the score, `--k: 90` in the stylesheet — with nothing tying them together, and the rail's transform read one while its children's positions were baked from the other. A disagreement would have slid every pill off the ruler it is supposed to sit on, silently. Now the children are placed in seconds and resolve against `--k` at paint time, the driver writes `--k` from the stage's measured width, and the stylesheet's copy is only the resting value for a reader who never gets a driver. `--k` is written where resizes land rather than every frame: it is a function of the stage, not of the frame. It joins the teardown list with everything else the driver writes.
Below 901px the demo did not exist: the scene was display:none and the reader got five captions stacked over nothing — the claims with the evidence removed. Nothing here repositions an element. The desktop layout is already driven by a handful of grid variables — --v-l/--v-t/--v-w place the composite, --pnl-* the inspector, --cap-top the caption, --tl-h the floor — so portrait answers those differently and every rule downstream follows. The pointer needed nothing at all: it re-measures its targets per beat, so it found the stacked panel by itself. The choreography differs in one honest way. On desktop the act change shrinks the video to make room for the floor, because they share the height. Stacked they do not: the floor takes the bottom, the composite keeps its size, and what gives way is the inspector's ceiling — which closes as --tl opens. So --v-* resolve to the same value in both phases and the picture holds still while the timeline arrives under it. The palette centres itself in whatever the composite and the floor have left, rather than stranding a void under itself once the timeline is in. The trims give up their labels here and keep their colour and position. At this width the rail runs at about 24 pixels per second, so a 0.5s trim is twelve pixels, and a label clipped to "0" is noise pretending to be information. The zooms and the speed ramp span seconds, so they keep theirs. This is only worth doing because the rail's scale now follows the stage: at the old fixed 90 the whole floor showed four seconds and there would have been nothing to lay out. The gate moves from 901px to 360px. Under that there is no honest layout left — the composite would be narrower than the inspector's own controls — and the still fallback stands in, as it still does for reduced motion, forced colours, and anything without position: sticky.
The window the take opens half-way through was a stub: no title bar, and a body of two grey placeholder lines over a button. The take zooms into it and holds there for two seconds, so it is the most looked-at object in the footage. Ported in full from the design, both states under one bar. The bar carries the system's three lights and "Fern — Add a sensor". The setup state has the heading, the found probe — "Fern Probe · FP-204" with its green dot and its -42 dBm — the dashed row still searching, and the button. The done state has the check in its pale green disc, "Sensor paired", and the line under it that was missing entirely: "Bed 3 — South garden is now live." The two states keep the crossfade they already had, clamped off the footage clock rather than the scene's, so they turn with the take and not with the scroll. They inset below the bar now, which is a sibling and stays up through both.
…word Two more copied numbers, both reported from the running page. THE HAND SAT TO THE RIGHT OF THE SLIDER IT WAS DRAGGING. The pointer score aimed at literal fractions of the track — 97 per cent, then 48 — taken from the design, while the handle is drawn from the frame's own paddingPct, which reads 85 and then 30. Measured: the hand was 10 to 14 per cent of the track past the knob, about forty pixels. Both sliders now read the fraction off the frame that draws them, so there is one number and the hand is on it. Measured after: 0.850 against 0.854, and 0.300 against 0.296 once the sprite's hotspot is taken off. That also makes the gesture right rather than merely aligned: through the beat where the padding animates from 85 to 30, the pointer now travels with the handle instead of arriving at a fixed spot ahead of it. THE SECOND "um" WAS THE WRONG WORD, AND THAT ONE WAS MINE. The pointer's transcript keyframes carried literal token indices — 12, 13, 30, 35, 39 — and rewriting the transcript moved the removable tokens to 12, 13, 29, 34, 39. CUT_INDEX is derived, so the strikes stayed correct and the cuts kept landing; the pointer did not, so it swept a word that was never struck while the strike happened elsewhere. The first "Um," was fine only because its index did not move. The keyframes read CUT_INDEX now, which is the same list the strikes are keyed to, so the two cannot disagree again. Verified at all five strike times: the nearest target is the token being struck, and the second "um" sweeps at 23px where the first sweeps at 24 — the symmetry that was missing. I added a guard for this class of drift when the transcript was rewritten, and it only covered the count of removable tokens and where the tail sits. It did not cover a second copy of their positions living in the driver. There is no second copy now.
Asked to check the page's claims against what the application actually does. Seven numbers, six of them right: 720p up to source ExportQuality: medium(720) | good | source 24, 30 or 60 fps ExportDialog.tsx: useState<24 | 30 | 60>(60) H.264 or H.265 ExportVideoCodec, with vp9 rejected natively or a GIF ExportFormat = "mp4" | "gif" 264 MB Whisper model ggml-small-q8_0.bin, ~264 MB per the architecture doc the artifact list electron-builder targets + flake.nix, exactly The seventh was wrong, and wrong in an interesting way. "whisper.cpp · 13 languages" put a real number from this repository next to the wrong feature: the thirteen is the app's own UI localisation count, and it lives in crates/compositor/src/text_windows.rs, where it is the reason DirectWrite does the shaping — "l'app expédie en 13 langues, dont l'arabe". The model the page is actually talking about is multilingual at around ninety-nine. So the line undersold transcription by a factor of eight while sounding specific, which is the worst way to be wrong: a reader has no way to tell it from the six numbers beside it that are exact.
THE h1 IS THE PRODUCT AGAIN. It read "Screen Recording / Reimagined", which is the one line on a page that spends its whole length proving specific things — the editor runs live, the model is 264 MB, every edit is undoable — that proves nothing at all. It also left the strongest on-page signal there is without the word anyone searches once they have heard of us. The descriptor stays inside the h1 under the name, so the heading still says what the thing is. THE RECORDED POINTER MISSED THE WINDOW IT WAS CLICKING, and the hint that fixed it was "c'est la pointe de la flèche qui compte". Two separate faults, measured against the rendered window, which spans 36.0-64.0 across the frame and 33.6-73.2 down: The sprite was placed by its top-left corner. .uiCursor pulls itself back by its hotspot with a fixed pixel margin; .shotCursor never did, so its tip sat short of every point it was aimed at. It cannot use the same fix — this sprite is sized by the cursor-size slider, so a pixel margin would only be right at one setting — so the correction is a translate in percentages of its own box, placed outermost so the click bounce does not wobble it. And one keyframe pair was authored for a frame that is not ours. At footage 17.4 to 18.3 the path parks at (34.8, 27.6), which is on the window's title bar in the design's geometry and six per cent of the height above ours, because the frame is inset by OUR padding, read off the vendored document. Every other position through the window's life lands inside it — 44.4, 48.9, 50.4, 47.4 — so this was the only one to move. It is on the bar now, at (40, 36). Those are still coordinates. This is the third bug this week from a number copied instead of derived, and unlike the other two I have not fixed the class here: the shot path is evaluated in the pure score, which has no DOM to measure, so aiming it at the window the way the reader's pointer aims at [data-t] means moving that evaluation into the driver. `data-shot="see"` in the markup is the unbuilt half of exactly that. It is a refactor, and it deserves its own change rather than being bolted on.
…sit on "Scroll — the scrollbar is the timeline" was a claim doing an affordance's job. It is true, and it is still the wrong line for that spot: what a reader needs at the fold is to know there is more below, and a sentence is a worse signal for that than an arrow. It reads "Scroll down" now, with the down arrow the design puts beside it and the four-pixel nudge the design defines as `os-scroll-nudge` and that had never been ported — only the text had. It also drops its media gate. It used to be hidden below 901px and under reduced motion, because the claim was only true where the driver runs. "There is more below" is true everywhere, and the scene works in portrait now anyway. The nudge still goes when reduced motion is asked for; the hint stays. THE HERO WAS A SCREEN AND SIXTY PIXELS. `min-height: 100vh` under a 60px navbar makes the first screen 960 tall in a 900 viewport, so the hero's bottom edge — and anything pinned to it — sat below the fold. Measured: the hint at 906..927 in a 900px window, which is the one place an edge marker must not be. The hero is `calc(100vh - var(--ifm-navbar-height))` now, so the first screen is one screen, and the hint sits at 799..820 with the design's own 81px offset rather than clinging to the edge at 34.
The caption faded up before the inspector, and the two could not have agreed: they were on different clocks. The caption turns on when its beat opens, and the style beat now opens the scene at 0 — that was the fix for the three gaps in the score, where an undriven frame fell through to the closing state. The panel waits for a scroll threshold at 0.35. So the title announced a panel that was still a fifth of a second of scroll away. Both read one number now. The captions block is gated by `--intro`, which is the same threshold the inspector uses and carries the inspector's own 0.45s fade, so they arrive together and the scene opens on the picture alone. Measured either side of it: --intro and --panel are both 0 at t=0.339 and both 1 at t=0.451, with the two opacities following. The per-beat cross-fade inside the block is untouched — this is a gate over it, not a replacement for it. And the resting frame declares `--intro: 1`, because without it a reader with no driver gets an undefined variable, an invalid declaration, and captions whose visibility depends on what opacity happens to inherit.
…tion Reported from a 1916x844 window with the wasted space drawn on it: a dead band above the picture and a dead column to its right, and the title stuck under the navbar. All three are one mistake. The composite was sized against `100vh - nav - cap-h`. That subtracts a band the width of the SCREEN to make room for a caption that only ever occupies the left column — the picture was never competing with it for that height, and being 16:9, it lost width to match. Measured before: 1124x632 with 210px stranded to its right and 188px above it. The two columns are independent now. The picture is centred in what its own column actually has, with a 28px gutter top and bottom, and the caption's band starts level with the top of the picture instead of floating above it. Measured after, same window: 1273x716, 136px to the right, 100px above — and the caption at 100px rather than 12px under the navbar. The margins are symmetric at every width I measured, once the navbar is taken off the top: 145 against 146 at 1440x900, 136 against 136 at 1280x800, 28 against 28 at 1916x844. The 136px still to the right of the picture at 1916 is what a 16:9 box cannot use in a column that wide, and the only way to spend it would be to crop the recording. Portrait is untouched: its own block already answers every variable this changes.
… picture Reported at 1383x904: the caption's last line running under the panel's top edge. My fault twice over. When the panel was asked to cap its height at the footage and shrink to its content, I also centred it vertically on the footage. That was not in the ask — "qu'il shrink si son contenu est moins haut et on garde le centrage horizontal" — and it is what collides: centred on the picture, the panel's top rises as the picture grows, and at that window it landed 55px inside the caption's last line. The previous commit made it reachable by aligning the caption with the top of the picture instead of floating it above. It hangs from the caption's bottom again, which is where it always was. The cap stays, and is now the lower of two: the footage's height, which is what was asked for, and the room left down to the bottom gutter, which is what stops a tall pane running off the screen on a short one. Verified in the built sheet — min() over custom properties is the shape postcss-calc drops. Measured at every beat, both windows: zero overlap, 22px of air at 1383x904 and 19px at 1916x844, and the tallest pane's bottom at 847 in a 904 viewport with nothing below the fold.
…th the picture The caption and the inspector were two absolutely positioned boxes with no relationship to each other, so the pair could only ever line up with the picture by accident. Reported at 1289x904: the picture ends at 718 and the pair runs to 843. They share a flow now. A flow has a height, and a height is all it takes to centre the group on the same line the picture is centred on — measured at 0px of difference between the two centres, at every beat, at 1289x904, 1440x900 and 1916x844, with nothing past either gutter. The tallest pane still overruns the picture, but symmetrically: 58px above and 58 below instead of 120 below. The panel moves out of `.scene` for this, and carries its own `aria-hidden`. The caption cannot follow it in: it is the section's real copy and has to stay in the accessibility tree, which is the whole reason the two were separated in the first place. `.scene` keeps everything else it had. Portrait does not want a pair — the picture sits between the caption and the panel — so the column steps out of the way there with `display: contents` and its two children place themselves, as they did before. The still fallbacks do the same. THE FOOTAGE CEILING IS GONE, and that is a decision worth flagging rather than burying. Capping the panel at the picture's height was the original ask, and it clips: at 1289x904 the picture is 460px tall and the cursor pane needs 470, so the Smoothing slider lost its bottom. A panel ten pixels taller than the picture is a smaller price than a control missing from the demo, and centred rather than hanging, the difference reads as symmetry. The ceiling is now the room the column has between its gutters — and on a short window the gutter gives way first: 28px becomes 14 under 780px of height, which is what clears the last 21px of clipping at 1280x720.
…tep by hand
Asked to stop patching cases and do the grid properly. This is that.
The two layouts were described separately — a phase-1 set of variables and a
phase-2 set, twenty in all, interpolated one by one on --tl. Keeping two
descriptions of the same thing in step by hand is how they came to disagree,
and every complaint of the last hour was one of those disagreements:
the gutter 28px in the two-part layout, a hardcoded 12 in the other
--nav declared 72px where the navbar measures 60, which was
exactly the top-versus-bottom asymmetry in BOTH layouts
--cap-h reserved 116px for captions that measure 95 at every beat
the picture sized against a caption band the width of the screen, for a
caption that only ever occupies the left column
There is one box now. The floor is the only thing that separates the two-part
layout from the three-part one, so it is the only thing --tl interpolates —
the box's bottom bound:
--box-top: nav + gut
--box-bot: 100vh - gut - tl * tl-h
--box-h: box-bot - box-top
and the picture is 16:9, as wide as the box allows, centred in it. The column
centres on the picture's own centre line. Four variables replace twenty, and
the two layouts cannot drift apart because there is only one of them.
The constants answer to something: --nav reads Docusaurus's own navbar height
rather than copying it, --cap-h is what the captions measure plus air. The
gutter is a clamp rather than a media query — it gives way on a short window,
which is where the tallest pane runs out of room, and says so in one line where
a breakpoint said it in five.
Measured, both layouts, every beat: margins symmetric to the pixel — 151/151 at
1440x900 and 46/46 with the timeline in, 25/25 at 1916x844, 102/102 and 22/22
at 1280x720, 192/192 and 87/87 at 1024x768. Column and picture centred on the
same line to 0px. Nothing clipped, nothing past a gutter.
Portrait answers the same box for a stack: the caption takes its top, the floor
its bottom, the picture is what is left between them, and --tl still moves
nothing but the bottom bound. The still fallback keeps the column as a block —
dissolved, the panel joined the page flow at full width and landed on top of
the stacked captions.
Reported: "Edit video like text" appearing intermittently while dragging the
window edge. Reproduced by sampling every caption's opacity at 60Hz across six
resizes — on the style beat the sequence read {style:1}, then {transcript:1},
then transcript fading 0.9, 0.6, 0.48 … while style faded back in.
The measuring pass is what does it. It sets `data-beat` to each of the five
beats in turn to measure the panes, and transcript is measured last, so the
browser's final computed style before the restore is the transcript's caption
at full opacity. Re-enabling transitions then animates FROM there.
Suppressing transitions during the pass — which I added for a different bug and
which is still right — made this one worse rather than better: instead of
starting a fade that would be interrupted, the caption arrived at opacity 1
instantly and then had a clean 0.4s fade-out to perform. Reading a layout
property after the restore, while transitions are still off, makes the restored
state the one they start from, so there is nothing left to animate. Same probe
after: 127 samples, one state, {style:1}.
THE INSPECTOR GIVES WIDTH BEFORE THE PICTURE DOES. Also reported, on the same
screen: a void under the picture in the three-part layout at 1011x832. The
margins there were already symmetric — the picture was width-bound, and a 16:9
picture starved of width leaves height unused. The cause was the panel's fixed
336px taking a third of that window. It is a clamp now, floored at 280 where
the sliders and the four-column swatch grid stop fitting: the picture goes from
563x317 to 596x335 on that screen and nothing moves at 1440 or above. The slack
that remains is geometry — the picture cannot grow taller without growing
wider, and the width is what the column leaves it.
Reported as the gap under the caption being wrong in the timeline beat, and it was: the palette was placed by a rule of its own — centred in the box — while every other beat's panel is placed by the column's flow. Two ways of describing the same position, which is the same mistake the grid had before it was one box, at a smaller scale. The palette lives in the column now, anchored at --cap-h: exactly where the panel's top is, because that is where the caption's reserved height ends. It is absolute, so it adds nothing to the column's flow — the group's height stays the caption plus the panel whichever of the two is showing, and the pair crossfades in place instead of moving. Measured at every beat, at 1011x832 and 1440x900: panel and palette anchor to the same y. The 12 to 16px that remains between their boxes is each one's own entrance offset, which only applies to whichever is currently hidden. Portrait takes back the vertical -50% the desktop rule drops: there is no column to hang from in a stack, so the palette centres between the picture and the floor, as it did. Without that it hung below its anchor and crossed the ruler.
…id out The alignment was still wrong on the timeline beat, and my own metric was hiding it: I had been measuring the column's BOX against the picture, which read 0px everywhere. Measuring what a reader can actually see — the caption plus whichever pane is not transparent — put the timeline beat 124px high. The panel was invisible there but still held its height in the column's flow, while the palette, the thing actually on screen, was absolute and contributed nothing. So the column was sized for a pane nobody sees. Both are in the flow now and both collapse when hidden, because they are alternatives: whichever is down gives its height back. Getting there took two wrong halves worth recording — collapsing only the panel put the group 79px LOW, since the palette still counted for nothing; and collapsing the palette by max-height alone left 20px standing, because the padding and the border survive a max-height of zero. They are multiplied by --palette too. Measured on what is visible, at 1011x832, 1440x900 and 1916x844, at all five beats: 0px between the group's centre and the picture's. The panel's residual 2px is its own border, which is a pixel of drift and below anything the eye resolves. Portrait keeps the palette absolute and centred between the picture and the floor: there is no column to sit in when the picture is between the two.
…ze the picture THE CAPTION STOOD ALONE BETWEEN PANES. Reported as a lag before the next panel arrives, and it was in the score: the panel's window and the palette's were written as two separate pairs of numbers — 14.45 to 19.60 against 14.75 to 19.45 — which leaves 0.30s at the start and 0.15s at the end where neither is up. The palette's window is the complement of the panel's now, so they hand over and their fades overlap. Same shape of mistake as the grid's: one transition described twice. PORTRAIT WAS TAKING WIDTH IT COULD NOT AFFORD. Two failures in one 574x832 window, from one cause: the picture was sized at full width without asking what the box had left. It came out 302 tall in a box of 512, which left 114 for a pane needing 160 — so the palette lay across the picture — and drove the transcript's mask to -20px, which is why that panel rendered as an empty header. Portrait now does what the desktop box does: the picture gets what is left once the caption, the pane and the floor have taken theirs, and centres in the width. Measured at 574x832 and 390x844, all three acts: the palette clears the picture and the floor by construction, and the transcript's mask went from -20px to 56 and 94.
…t the chrome Dead space between the panel and the floor in portrait, and it was one more guessed constant. The transcript's mask sized itself by subtracting the panel's head and paddings from the panel's height — 120px on the desktop, 134 in portrait — for a chrome that measures about 73. The rest was the gap, and the number had to be re-guessed every time the head moved. The panel is a column now, its body is a column, and the transcript pane and its mask take what is left. No subtraction, so nothing to keep in step: the mask is exactly the panel's height less whatever the head actually occupies. Measured: the mask goes from 56px to 95 at 574x832 and from 94 to 142 at 390x844, which is four lines of transcript where there were two. The desktop is unchanged in effect — there the panel sizes to its content and the mask never reached its cap — but it loses its magic number too.

CI came back red on Lint alone. Both causes are mine and both were things I saw and waved past: an unused ZOOM_DEPTH_SCALES in the generator that I read as pre-existing — website/scripts/ exists only on this branch, so it never was — and two biome-ignore comments on the Fern cards suppressing a rule that does not fire there. `npm run lint` exits 0 now. The thirteen warnings left are in src/ and predate this branch.

The pointer inside the recording followed a table of percentages copied from the design. Coordinates describe the design's frame: ours is inset by the padding read off the vendored document, so the window sits somewhere else and the pointer parked outside the very window it had just clicked — the same failure that once put the reader's pointer 151px from its targets. A keyframe can now name something instead: `[17.4, "app-bar", 0.2, 0.5]` is a fifth of the way along the window's own title bar. Names cannot drift, because whatever moves the window moves the answer with it. Resolving a name needs a DOM, which the score has not got, so the path is evaluated in the driver. Layout offsets are measured once — offsets, because a rectangle comes back with every transform already applied and three of them sit over this one — and the frame's own numbers put them back through the page's scroll, the padding scale and the window's entrance, in that order. Nothing in the frame loop reads layout. That last transform moved into the score as `winVis`, so the stylesheet that paints the window and the arithmetic that aims at it read one number instead of two. Measured at all seven of the take's clicks: the tip lands on the CTA at 0,+2% of its box, on the Pair button at 0,+1% and on the title bar at -30,+1% — the -30 being the 0.2 that was asked for. `data-shot="see"`, tagged long ago and never read, turned out to be on the wrong button: the take presses the CTA beside it.
The palette took the column at 14.45 and the caption changed at 15.0, so for half a second "A cursor worth watching" stood over a toolbar with no cursor panel under it. Two writings of one boundary: the palette's window is the timeline beat, so it now reads the beat. Also the air the caption was asking for. --cap-h is the caption's slot, and everything that places the pair subtracts it — the pane's ceiling, and portrait's picture and its top — so widening it there separates the title from the inspector without moving the group off the picture it is centred on: 23px of air, centring still 0 at all five beats. Portrait keeps 96. What follows the title there is the picture, not the inspector, and those pixels come straight off it. While checking that, found the picture down to 57px on a 667-tall phone for the two beats the floor is up: --pane-min now gives way like --gut does, 190 down to the palette's own height plus air, which returns the picture to 101.
The selection ring on the wallpaper swatches never appeared. The stylesheet matches `.swatch[data-i="N"]` against the stage's `data-bg`, and the swatches carried no `data-i` — only a `--i` left over from the arithmetic version the comment beside it explains was a trap. The attribute is back and the `--i` is gone; the ring lights on the right swatch at every pick. The rest of this is one fault with several faces: what `apply` writes and what it gives back had drifted apart. `--bg` and `--trim-0..4` were declared in the resting state and listed as written, and neither side had been true since the wallpaper moved to an attribute and the trims to inline opacity. Dead on both sides, so a reader with no driver — no JavaScript, reduced motion, under 360px — saw no trim pills at all and the first wallpaper rather than the one the take ends on. `--win-vis`, which the recorded pointer's aiming depends on, was written every frame and was NOT on the list, so it survived teardown: cross a breakpoint mid-ride and the app window stayed up in the still. The attributes and the struck words were never given back either. So the list is now what `apply` really writes, `release()` hands back the attributes, the inline opacities and the classes too, and the two things that cannot be expressed as custom properties — the wallpaper and the two cursor sprites — are rendered from `frameAt(1)` in the markup and restored from the same expression. Verified under reduced motion: the still is the closing frame (bg 3, five trims placed) instead of a frozen ride. `--trims-shown` replaces the five dead `--trim-*`: the placed order is not the DOM order, so no count can express it the way `--zooms-placed` does, and the one thing the still still cannot show — the transcript's strikes, which are a class — is stated in the header rather than left to be rediscovered. `.cue` went with them: a class in the stylesheet, a field in DriverClasses and a prop in the markup, applied by nothing.
`measure()` opens all five beats, reads a rect for every `data-t` node and forces layout to do it. It ran once per resize event — and a window drag fires those many times a second, so the one piece of work on this element's main thread that can outlast its own frame was repeated for every one of them. Coalesced into a rAF, the way the scroll already is, and cancelled with the rest on teardown.
The generator guessed the unit from the magnitude — `v > 1 ? v / 32 : v` — and the magnitude cannot tell the two collections apart. `DEFAULT_CURSOR_SPRITES` stores a fraction of the image; a pack in `CURSOR_THEMES` stores the same quantity against the 32-logical reference it is drawn on, so its `hotspotX: 1` is one unit in, an arrow tip, and reads as the sprite's right edge if taken for a fraction. Six of the ten packs the picker shows came out wrong. Gengar's was out by the whole width of the sprite: with that pack selected the recorded pointer's tip sat off the thing it was pointing at, which is precisely what the hotspot table exists to prevent. Which collection an entry came from is known at the call site, so nothing has to be inferred: `resolveCursorSprites` — the application's own conversion, which divides by the asset's declared width — does it here too. The throw for a pack that ships no arrow stays, because that fallback is right in the app and wrong here: the picker would show the default arrow under a pack's name. The same class of tell in the zoom pills: the app labels one `scale.toFixed(2) + "×"`, so "1.5×" and "2×" are strings it never renders.
The two picks ran default → green → pink, so the recorded pointer wore pink for the eleven seconds of timeline and transcript after the panel that chose it had left the screen. Green is the site's accent; the take now spends the pink early, while the picker is still the subject, and ends on the green it keeps. The swatch the hand presses and the pack the frame selects were two literals that had to be kept in step by hand — reorder one and the pointer clicks the wrong swatch, silently and correctly-looking. The path reads CURSOR_CHOICE now, which is the same fix CUT_INDEX already got for the transcript.
The wide breakpoint takes the tick step below the one the 1920 ruler lands on. When that is already the finest step, `indexOf(...) - 1` is -1, the lookup is undefined, the division is NaN — and `JSON.stringify` writes NaN as `null`, so the breakpoint would ship as null with no error at all. Every other derivation in that file throws when its assumption breaks; this one now does too. The audio-track check scanned the whole file for the bytes `hdlr` … `soun`, `mdat` included. That payload is compressed picture: the pattern can occur in it by chance, and the failure it would produce — a silent clip rejected for an audio track it does not have — is unreproducible and reads as a bug in the checker rather than in the clip. It walks the box tree now, descending only into moov/trak/mdia and stopping rather than resyncing on a size that runs past its parent. Tested three ways: the committed clip still reports silent, a synthetic file with the pattern buried in mdat is no longer a false positive (the old scan said it was), and a synthetic file with a real sound track is still caught.
The fixture stores the recording's path twice, absolute, as the store of whoever last ran `--vendor` spells it — which put a local account name in a public repository. Nothing reads more than the file name: the waveform names its source with it and the recreation never opens either file. So the directory becomes a placeholder home rather than being dropped, and the document keeps the shape schemaVersion 7 gives it. Scrubbed at the source too, in `vendorFixture`, so the next `--vendor` run does not put it back. The name is still in this branch's history; rewriting a pushed branch to bury a bland account name seemed the larger harm.
… drifted Every number here was checked against the code rather than re-read. The Editor band said six of everything — six viewports, six beats, six captions, "Six things you will actually do". BEATS has five, and the band is nine viewports. The driver's own gate is `(min-width: 360px)` and the still fallback starts at `max-width: 359px`, but five comments said the scene needs 901px and that no phone ever sees the wallpaper strip or the webcam bubble. Phones from 360px up run the whole scene, so the honest version of the argument for warming those assets in-band is that they cost nothing until the reader is actually arriving — which is the argument on every device, and did not need the false one. The art-direction note is the stated reference for the next pass, so: five settings, not six; twelve of the app's eighteen wallpapers, not eighteen; nine objects on the rail — three zooms, a speed ramp, five trims — not five; 76 transcript tokens staged against the document's 106, not 103 rendered; five entries strike, not two; there IS a webcam bubble, staged, and the document contradicts it rather than merely omitting it; and the pointer rule now describes what the driver does — both hands name a target and the percentages are the output, not the score. `--check` gets an honest note too: it byte-compares its own output against a file that lint-staged has since formatted, so it reports drift on a file nobody touched, and it is not wired into CI. Left as it is, described as it is. In the docs, ai-editing.md said the agent was the only part of the app that talks to a network, which its own line 60 and intro.md both contradict — caption translation calls the same provider. The provider is the network dependency, not the agent.
…d CTA The schema.org `screenshot` pointed at the establishing plate the landing page used to open with. That page is the scroll recreation now and the plate went with it, so the URL had been resolving to a 404 for search engines. Nothing shipped is an honest replacement — og-image.png is a wordmark card and the recreation is a recreation, not a frame of the running editor — so the property is gone rather than repointed at the nearest available picture. `.badgeNew` set `color: #04110b` in a file whose header says every colour is an --os-* token and nothing may be a literal. The accent under it swaps with the theme, so that fixed near-black sat on two different greens: 7.59:1 on the dark one and 3.75:1 on the light one, which is a Level AA failure at 10.5px bold. Against --os-bg it measures 7.81:1 and 4.96:1 — the same fix, and the same reason, as the primary CTA two hundred lines above it, whose own comment claimed 7:1 in both themes and was measuring only the dark one. And the primary call to action said "Download for macOS" on a page whose own trio says Windows, macOS and Linux and whose /download offers seven package formats. The label is static, so it was not adapting to the visitor either: it just told two of the three platforms that the page's main action was not for them.

…real `--check` compares its own output with the committed file byte for byte. The committed file had been through biome — lint-staged formats everything on the way in — so it reported drift on a file nobody had touched, and had done since the day the file was first committed. Nothing noticed because the check was wired into nothing. Of the two ways out, this is the one that cannot rot: biome.json tells the formatter to skip that one path, so what the generator writes is what is committed, permanently and with no second tool in the loop. Matching biome's output from the generator would have to be re-matched at every biome release, silently, with the same failure mode. That puts the formatting back under the generator, so it emits TypeScript rather than JSON: unquoted keys, trailing commas, tabs — and one line per row for the 106 words and the 41 ruler labels, which is what the emitter always intended and what biome had been undoing. The file drops from 1,985 lines to 876. Every one of its 19 exports is value-identical, checked by importing both versions and comparing. Non-finite numbers now throw on the way out instead of serialising: NaN and Infinity become `null` through JSON.stringify, which is how a broken derivation ships as a plausible value — the same trap the ruler breakpoint fell into two commits ago, closed at the exit this time. And the check runs in the Docs workflow, so the page cannot quietly go on showing numbers the application no longer produces.

Rebuilds the landing page around a scroll-driven recreation of the editor, ported from Claude Design's v4, and takes the page's claims and its layout apart until both hold up.
What the page is now
The hero hands straight over to the demo: six viewports of the editor, driven by scroll. React renders once;
driver.tswrites ~35 custom properties on one element per rAF and seeks one video. Nothing else moves.Under it, four claims — recorder, export, captions, agent — each with its panel drawn in DOM rather than photographed. That reverses the split this section used to carry, and the reversal is honest: the old argument against illustrating the recorder and the encoder was that a screenshot costs a request and goes stale against the next repaint. It was an argument about photographs. A drawn panel costs neither, re-renders in the page's own typeface, and swaps with the theme.
Performance
Measured on the production build over CDP, not asserted.
styleattribute mutated, no frame over 16.7 ms with the CPU throttled 4×.url()from a CSS module as a data URI: 9,139 gzipped bytes, 25.9% of the one file the whole site blocks on, carried by every docs page. They move to an inline style on the element the driver already writes to. 35,232 → 26,608 gz.object-fit: cover, so only the middle 56% of a square file ever reached the screen. Recut from the app's own originals: fewer bytes and a better picture (mean error 1.34/255 against 1.53 for the file it replaces).backdrop-filterover a smooth gradient that moved 0.8% of its panel's pixels. Both gone.sipsat q75 is visibly worse than the JPEG it would replace.Static media 527,613 → 442,732 B. FCP/LCP ~172 ms, CLS 0.
The layout
The two acts — with and without the timeline — were described by twenty derived variables kept in step by hand, which is how they came to use different gutters, and how
--navcame to claim 72px for a 60px navbar. There is one box now:Margins are symmetric to the pixel at every width measured, in both acts, and the caption/inspector column centres on the picture to 0px — measured on what is visible, which is not the same as what is laid out.
Portrait exists: below 901px there used to be no demo at all, just captions stacked over nothing.
Truthfulness
Every number on the page was checked against the code. Six were right — 720p→source, 24/30/60 fps, H.264/H.265, GIF, the 264 MB model, the artifact list. One was wrong: "13 languages" was the app's UI localisation count borrowed from
crates/compositor, next to a Whisper model that is multilingual at ~99. It undersold transcription eightfold while sounding specific.The h1 says
OpenScreenagain rather than "Screen Recording / Reimagined" — the one line on a page that proves things for a living that proved nothing.Known and deliberately not done
The recorded pointer still aims at coordinates rather than DOM targets. Three bugs on this branch came from copied coordinates; two are fixed at the class level, this one is not. The fix means moving the shot path's evaluation out of the pure score into the driver, where there is a DOM to measure —
data-shot="see"in the markup is the unbuilt half of it. It deserves its own change.Route-level CSS splitting is viable and unstarted:
/uses 52% of the stylesheet, docs pages 34%, Docusaurus's SSG already emits per-route sheets, and the single-chunk cacheGroup is overridable. The risk is cascade order (facebook/docusaurus#2006).Summary by CodeRabbit
