Auto-Sync: equalizer cycle slowed 1.6s -> 3.2s, amplitude swing
tightened (0.4-1.0x of base height -> 0.55-0.85x) so the bars
breathe instead of slamming. Playhead duration slowed 5.5s -> 9s
and the line was thinned + given a softer accent color (rgba 0.7
instead of full light) and a smaller drop-shadow. Playhead now
fades in over the first 10% and fades out over the last 15% so it
glides on and off rather than appearing at the edge.
Automations: the flow line was using a background-position sweep
that snapped from end to start each loop — visible as a reset jump
every cycle. Rewrote the sweep as a pseudo-element with its own
translateX + opacity animation: fades in at 15%, runs across, fades
out before snapping back. Node pulse + line sweep both run on the
same 3.2s cycle now so the three nodes and two lines stay in
phase. Node animation delays adjusted to evenly stagger across the
new cycle length.
