Visual elevation pass on the marketing site. No backend/runtime code touched — site/ only.

Hero

  • Live chrome snowflake video behind the headline — screen-blended on the black ground (drops the black, leaves the metal), radial + vertical mask so it melts into the canvas, reduced-motion poster fallback.

Background

  • Animated dotted-surface (three.js) as the site ground: dim chrome dots on a fog-receding perspective floor, very slow drift, prefers-reduced-motion static frame, pixel-ratio capped, full Three.js disposal on unmount. No new dependencies (three was already installed).

Section elevation (de-slop)

  • Three-tier heading scale for volume rhythm.
  • Agents promoted to the loud signature section + consistent terminal frame on the fork diagram.
  • Vision rebuilt as the cinematic peak.
  • Primitive: removed a 2px side-stripe; rebuilt as an interactive verb index (node dots, one marked primary verb, rounded env pills).
  • Receipts: asymmetric hero-stat band replaces the equal 3-cell metric template.
  • Integrations: primary/secondary hierarchy on neutral bg-raised cards (removed the blue quicksilver tint).

Robustness

  • Reveal reimplemented as a pure-CSS scroll-driven animation: visible by default (no JS / reduced-motion / crawlers / pre-hydration all see content), zero client JS, no IntersectionObserver gate. Install moved off direct framer.

Misc

  • Logo: dropped the hover rotation on the mark.

Verification

  • tsc --noEmit clean, eslint clean, next build passes.
  • Reviewed each section desktop (1440) + mobile (390) via headless captures.

…wwards polish

Hero
- Live chrome snowflake video behind the headline (screen-blended on black,
  radial + vertical mask, reduced-motion poster fallback).

Background
- Animated dotted-surface (three.js) as the site ground: dim chrome dots,
  fog-receding perspective floor, very slow drift, reduced-motion static frame,
  pixel-ratio capped, full disposal on unmount. No new deps (three already in).

Section elevation (de-slop)
- Three-tier heading scale for volume; Agents promoted to the loud signature
  section with a consistent terminal frame; Vision rebuilt as the cinematic peak.
- Primitive: removed 2px side-stripe, rebuilt as an interactive verb index with
  node dots, a marked primary verb, and rounded env pills.
- Receipts: asymmetric hero-stat band replaces the equal 3-cell metric template.
- Integrations: primary/secondary hierarchy; neutral bg-raised cards (no blue tint).

Robustness
- Reveal reimplemented as pure-CSS scroll-driven animation (visible by default,
  zero client JS, no IntersectionObserver gate); Install moved off direct framer.

Misc
- Logo: drop hover rotation on the mark.
