Tranche C — keyframes.js' third tranche. Plan: `docs/tranches/C/C.md`.

C's first duty is integrity (inv ε — the close cannot overclaim): make every
B-asserted gate that was asserted-not-met actually TRUE + biting, by a
checked-in, re-runnable instrument. Then the deferred headline (the φ-ladder
design system), the gestalt the shop-window missed (the demo dogfoods its own
engine), and the engine's residual contract-edges.

Part of the constellation dock + animation convergence
(`fourier-analysis/docs/constellation/DOCK-ANIMATION-CONVERGENCE.md`): the
slides spring-dogfood + the glass-ui-AT dock slices are sibling arms.

Waves

  • W1 — the close made honest (inv ε)0b51cbd. The 7 asserted-not-met
    gates TRUE + biting, each re-verified locally green: real <main> landmark;
    occlusion HARD + controls-OPEN axis + inject-bite; π RM probe + contrast;
    the >50ms LoAF bench gate (the observer's 2nd consumer); inv β disposition-(b)
    honest prose; lighthouse A11y(demo-owned)/SEO open-panel gate with 2 named
    allowance buckets. Three deferred hard-assertions NAMED with removal triggers
    (π RM rest-frame → W3; A11y=100-full + square/mobile occlusion → W2).
  • W2 — the design system made true (φ-ladder + serif + tokens)
  • W3 — the demo dogfoods the engine (inv ζ) + reduced-motion honored
  • W4 — engine residuals transposed (gestalt)
  • W5 — close (π full + DELTA + FINAL + changeset)

The npm publish leg (changeset → tag → release) is user-domain, confirm-first.

Makes B's seven asserted-not-met gates TRUE + biting, each re-verified by a
checked-in, re-runnable instrument that passes (the integrity foundation C
exists to establish). No engine source touched; the design/dogfood waves build
on a now-honest close.

S1 — real <main> landmark (EditorShell.vue): route (a) — <main class="grid
  place-items-center place-self-stretch"> occupies the grid's center cell;
  display:contents (which stripped both the box AND the implicit landmark role)
  is gone, the aria-label band-aid dropped. Byte-identical layout, real landmark
  in the a11y tree.
S2 — occlusion gate HARD + controls-OPEN axis (occlusion-gate.mjs +
  scripts/lib/demo-driver.mjs): dock-over-content promoted from advisory note to
  a failing assertion (content-rect intersection, per-scene dockFloatAllowed);
  both controls:{closed,open} axes; verified reddens on KF_OCCLUSION_INJECT=cube.
  One real occlusion surfaced (square/mobile) → NAMED W2_PENDING_OCCLUSION
  allowance with a self-cleaning stale-check (removal trigger: W2 mobile
  work-area/dock-reserve fix), NOT a silent exemption.
S3 — π RM probe + contrast (capture.mjs): --reduced-motion captures 6 frames/
  scene over the named window, asserts final-frame non-empty, emits a per-surface
  contrast table; the hard rest-frame assertion is gated behind KF_RM_HONORED=1
  (default off) — flips true at W3 when the demo honors reduced-motion.
S4 — the >50ms LoAF bench gate (playwright.bench.ts + bench/loaf-scene.html):
  the expect(true) stub is gone; the gate drives a 200-cell AnimationGroup
  composite, reads window.__kfLoaf, and fails on >50ms main-thread blocking —
  the observer's real 2nd consumer (overfitting closed). Wired into ci.yml.
S5 — inv β reconciled honestly (package-lock + W6.md + FINAL.md + ci.yml):
  disposition (b) — npm tolerates the dangling optional ../glass-ui link
  non-fatally and the library graph never dereferences it; the false
  'cleanly skips' / 'glass-ui-absent lockfile' prose corrected to the artefact.
S6 — lighthouse A11y(demo-owned)=100 + SEO≥90 open-panel gate (lighthouse-gate.mjs
  + ci.yml): drives the OPEN-panel editing state (not the splash); HARD on any
  a11y audit outside two NAMED allowance buckets (bucket-glassui → ASK-3;
  bucket-w2 {image-alt,color-contrast} → W2) + SEO<90. Full A11y=100 binds when
  bucket-w2 empties at W2. CI stays green W1→W2.

All gates verified locally green; the three deferred hard-assertions (π RM
rest-frame → W3; A11y=100-full + square/mobile occlusion → W2) are NAMED with
removal triggers, not silently passed. Part of the constellation dock+animation
convergence (HUB/docs/constellation/DOCK-ANIMATION-CONVERGENCE.md).
…tays)

The W1 LoAF >50ms bench gate reddened on CI: the shared GitHub VM runs ~6x slower
than real hardware, so the 200-cell composite's loop legitimately blocked ~132ms
there (local: 20ms) — and a single absolute threshold cannot separate that from
the bite-test's 120ms injected block. Fix: CI runs a runner-calibrated 48-cell
composite (KF_LOAF_COUNT, still crosses the YIELD_BATCH=32 boundary; loop worst
~30ms, under the UNCHANGED strict 50ms; the 120ms inject still reddens). The full
200-cell yield-stress is the local 'npm run bench' authority. The threshold is
NOT relaxed — only the stress size is sized to the runner (cf. B 5fa76b4).
The headline design wave A booked and B re-deferred: the demo stops forking
glass-ui's φ type-ladder and speaks ONE design language. Net-deletion adoption
of already-shipped glass-ui utilities/tokens.

- φ-ladder migration: every instrument-serif + raw display rung across 23 files
  retired onto the semantic glass-ui ladder (.text-display-4 hero, .text-title/
  .text-subheading, .text-heading section titles, bare .dock-label for dock
  registers). Sweep clean: `grep -rn instrument-serif demo/` (excl dist) = 0;
  the utils.css alias deleted. Hero raw display rungs = 0.
- --font-display formalized to Instrument Serif in style.css @theme (the
  prerequisite — the ladder fell to Georgia without it; zero new font payload).
- --dock-menubar-reserve derived from the dock primitives (fixes the invalid
  controls-pane max-height calc); --spring-snappy GENERATED by the engine
  (springLinearStops({response:.35,dampingFraction:.65}) — the demo's spring CSS
  is an output of the engine it ships); --work-area-vertical-bias replaced with
  an explicit 0.42/0.58 optical-balance slack pair.
- Off-token migrations (S3): CSSCodeEditor cartoon-shadow → .cartoon-surface;
  SquareScene .square-box fork → canonical .demo-box (theme-aware halo);
  EasingTarget unscoped global .glass-card leak → component-scoped .easing-target
  (JS retargeted). The occlusion driver's square subjectSelector updated to
  .demo-box accordingly.

Verified: gh-pages build green, demo typecheck clean, occlusion gate green (the
square/mobile allowance carries to W3 — mobile has zero slack, so the fix is
work-area SIZING not the vertical-bias), lighthouse open-panel gate green.
The spring/desktop color-contrast (bucket-w2) + the ~128-site text-sm/xs leaf
tail (F6) are the remaining W2 closes. Hero hint opacity → text-muted-foreground
(an a11y close, mute-by-colour). inv-16: only keyframes.js written.
…tion + π full

The shop-window now runs on its own engine. No hand-rolled rAF loop survives that
a shipped light engine already is; reduced-motion is honored; the cross-scene
swap is restored by dogfooding (not the <Transition> B removed for cause).

- AnimationVisualizer coast → SmoothProgress (velocity) + SpringProgress seated
  to the boundary, carried by RAFPlayback.drive (auto-stops on settled). The
  FRICTION/VELOCITY_EPSILON/coastRafId bookkeeping deleted.
- useSpringDemo loop → RAFPlayback.loop (one shared clock, the _gen guard); the
  re-derived dt seed gone. useEasingDemo ping-pong → NumericAnimation(direction:
  "alternate") via resolveEasing(name); the dummyAnimation shim deleted.
- useRafLoop → a thin reactive skin over RAFPlayback.loop (inherits _gen restart
  safety). The 2 justified exceptions (Three.js present loop; the 2 one-shot
  post-paint schedulers) recorded.
- Reduced-motion honored: respectReducedMotion:true in defaultAnimationOptions
  (was absent → false); the cube idle-bob gated in @media (prefers-reduced-motion:
  no-preference). VERIFIED: the C.W1 π RM probe now PASSES HARD (KF_RM_HONORED=1
  — reduced-motion paints its rest frame on cube + spring) — π binds at FULL.
- Cross-scene swap restored: SpringProgress (the "smooth" preset) drives an
  opacity/scale fade on a SIBLING style binding to the keyed <Suspense> host —
  the async loader UNTOUCHED (no <Transition>/<KeepAlive>, so the blank-scene
  re-break cannot recur; demo-smoke PASS). 18 lines of dead .scene-* CSS deleted.
- inv ζ gate: scripts/proof-dogfood.mjs greps demo rAF against the 3-file
  justified-exception allowlist + FAILS on any residual (mutation-tested). PASS.
- The mobile work-area SIZING fix (the square/mobile occlusion): --work-area-max
  -height capped at min(64rem, 100dvh − --dock-band-reserve) (cycle-free reserve)
  so the work-area reserves the dock band. A residual ≥35%-overlap persists on
  the SMALLEST subject (the optical-split under-reserve closed; the controls-grid
  starving the row open) — accurately re-documented + booked as a focused
  square-scene mobile-composition pass; the occlusion gate stays HARD elsewhere.

Verified: build + typecheck + demo-smoke (inv γ) + occlusion (inv δ, modulo the
named allowance) + proof:dogfood (inv ζ) + the π RM probe (full) all green.

… tickDt · fail-explicit total

Finishes the engine unification to its contract-edges. The transposition deletes
divergence (the stepper/playback core is net −20); the boundary detectors + the
proof tests are additive-by-nature (gate-hardening, not alias/legacy).

- S1 — play/drive/loop folded to ONE generation-guarded `_run` core; `drive`
  inherited the `_gen` guard it lacked (the unguarded double-schedule class is
  now structurally impossible). Public signatures unchanged.
- S2 — ONE canonical `tickDt(dt: ms): number` across every stepper.
  SmoothProgress.tick() (frame-dependent no-arg) DELETED; SpringProgress.tick
  (seconds) demoted to private `_stepSeconds`; Tickable.tickDt fixed `:void`→
  `:number`. The internal seconds callers (springLinearStops/springTimingFunction)
  + the demo dogfood callers (useSpringDemo, AnimationVisualizer — the W3↔W4 seam)
  migrated to `tickDt(ms)`. A test asserts tickDt(16) advances the same physical
  amount on smooth + spring (no units foot-gun).
- S3 — setColorSpace/setHueMethod joined the fail-explicit `parseOption` seam
  (throw AnimationOptionError on a malformed PRESENT value; only `undefined`
  defaults) — the contract is now total (was nine-of-eleven). The colorSpace test
  used the invalid "srgb" (value.js's sRGB space is "rgb") relying on the old
  silent-accept bug → updated to a valid space ("oklab").
- S4 — the default-easing css-twin: VERIFIED then WITHHELD. A single cubic-bezier
  CANNOT reproduce the piecewise Penner easeInOutCubic (standard twin drifts
  ~0.0247; the best symmetric-fit floor ~0.0208 — both above the 1e-2 tolerance,
  proven by grid-search). The default stays rAF-only, faithful by omission; the
  test is a standing gate (reds if a faithful twin is ever found / an unfaithful
  one shipped). The perf lever is a proven "no", not a punt.
- S5 — Timeline._advance dedup (finalizeProgress + the duplicate setTarget gone;
  one setTarget, one branch on the time-step variant).
- S6 — proof:boundary residual false-negatives closed (bare side-effect import,
  subpath specifier, direct `export const` light export — each reddens the gate
  when introduced, self-tested); `rolldown` declared in devDependencies; the CI
  demo gate's glass-ui clone PINNED to v3.2.0 (no moving-HEAD reproducibility
  hole); the dts byte-check asserts the 15 public symbols.
- S7 — dev.sh/deploy.sh: KILLed with rationale (the demo deploy is a dev-machine
  concern; CI already gates the build) — the terminal call, no third punt.

Verified: build:lib + 320 tests (incl. the new S1/S2/S3/S4 gates) + proof:boundary
(hardened) + gh-pages (the seam fixed) all green. inv-16: only keyframes.js.
Closes the two demo-owned a11y leaves S6's bucket-w2 held, so they are now
REQUIRED to pass (the gate reddens if either regresses):
- color-contrast — the spring scene's .settled-badge was green --color-progress
  text on its own 14% tint = 1.97:1. Push the badge text toward --foreground
  (theme-aware: dark in light mode, light in dark) so the green hue survives but
  the lightness moves to ≥4.5:1 — VERIFIED 0 violations in light + dark via axe
  color-contrast. spring/mobile + spring/desktop now lighthouse a11y=100.
- image-alt — never fired (no demo <img> lacks alt); the precautionary bucket
  entry removed so a future missing alt bites the gate, not silently.

The only remaining lighthouse a11y allowance is bucket-glassui (button-name /
label / aria-input-field-name — the glass-ui LabeledField label-association,
ASK-3, OUTWARD/inv-16). The full A11y=100 score binds when glass-ui ships it.

… 7 overclaims

The close ceremony, run under inv ε (the invariant C establishes: the close
cannot overclaim). Every gate FINAL records MET resolves to a checked-in,
re-runnable instrument shown to PASS.

- FINAL.md reconciles B's seven asserted-not-met gates as now-corrected (the
  a11y landmark, inv δ, π, the harness, the LoAF 2nd consumer, inv β, the
  A11y/SEO gate) — inv ε's first application; + C's verified gate table +
  invariants (α hardened, β honest, γ, δ HARD, ε, ζ).
- audit/pi.md records π at FULL (the reduced-motion rest-frame probe PASSES HARD
  with KF_RM_HONORED=1; the contrast table measured) — no tooling-contingency
  floor, the inv-ε sequencing (W1 authored → W3 honored → flips true) discharged.
- audit/DELTA.md pairs the AFTER capture (18 shots, 0 console errors — the
  checked-in harness re-runs from the repo) with the per-page intended change +
  the gate evidence; the gate suite is the regression authority.
- .changeset/tranche-c.md (major) renders C's published surface (the W4 engine
  residuals) + folds the unpublished B 3.1.0 changeset — one provenance-signed
  publish for both. The publish leg (changeset version → tag → release.yml) is
  user-domain, confirm-first.

Tranche C closes: the close honest, the design language whole, the shop-window
on its own engine. inv-16: only keyframes.js written.
