What

When the widget FAB is closed, the robot's eyes slowly track the mouse cursor. Gaze mechanism ported from smoothui's ai-orb-face (falloff/atan2 math), adapted to the GSAP rig with quickTo smoothing (0.6s power3.out).

  • Active only in the closed rig state; on open/work the listener detaches and the eyes tween back to center (instant reset on the non-animated paths so nothing fights clearProps).
  • Pose animations' killTweensOf is now scoped to yPercent,rotation,scaleX,scaleY so the open animation can't kill the gaze-return tween mid-flight and strand the eyes off-center. Behavior-identical otherwise (no pose path ever tweened x/y).
  • Disabled under prefers-reduced-motion; destroy() removes the listener and kills gaze tweens.
  • Gaze arms at rig construction too, so the site FAB tracks before its first hover.
  • Range 3px, full deflection at 220px cursor distance.

Rig-only change: both consumers (widget fab-robot.tsx, site robot-fab.tsx) get it with zero edits.

Evidence

Screenshot harness drove real Chromium against the built bundle: pre-fix, closed-state frames with the cursor left/right/above are byte-identical (eyes never move); post-fix all three diverge while the open-state frame stays byte-identical to pre-fix (gaze fully disarms). Revert-check reproduced the pre-fix hashes.

Gates: typecheck, mascot test, lint, format, fallow audit (nothing introduced), embed rebuild confirms the gaze code lands in conciv-widget.global.js.

Known limit: reduced-motion is read when gaze arms (matches how the rig already checks it per transition), so flipping the OS setting mid-closed keeps gaze until the next state change — avoids a matchMedia() per pointermove.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Robot eyes now smoothly follow the pointer within a limited range.
    • Antennas lean responsively and emit animated binary signals while working.
    • Eye gaze and work animations reset appropriately during state changes.
    • Added interactive demonstrations for robot states, antenna animations, and work-bubble effects.
    • Reduced-motion preferences are respected across mascot animations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved cleanup and cancellation of gaze, antenna, and pose animations during state changes and component removal.

omridevk and others added 2 commits August 14, 2026 14:01
The rig arms a window pointermove listener whenever it is in the closed
state and steers the eyes layer with gsap.quickTo, so the widget FAB and
the site FAB both gain the gaze with no consumer change. Deflection is
polar: reach ramps to 3px over 220px of cursor distance, smoothed over
600ms. Opening or starting work disarms the listener and returns the eyes
to centre; reduced-motion never arms it.

Open/work/close kills are now scoped to the posed properties so the pose
timelines and the gaze tweens no longer fight over the eyes layer.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The mascot rig now supports pointer-following eye motion, antenna lean, work-state animation, binary emitters, reset behavior, lifecycle cleanup, and reduced-motion handling. Storybook now includes SolidJS stories for rig states, antenna variations, motion, and work-bubble effects.

Changes

Mascot gaze and Storybook coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pointer gaze and work animation
packages/mascot/src/rig.ts, .changeset/mascot-gaze.md
The rig tracks pointer movement, animates bounded eye offsets, manages antenna and emitter animations, resets state across transitions, and cleans up on destruction.
Rig Storybook states and interaction
packages/mascot/src/rig.stories.tsx
The stories render closed, open, and working states. The interactive story verifies state transitions with accessible controls.
Storybook configuration and type checking
apps/storybook/.storybook/main.ts, packages/mascot/package.json, packages/mascot/tsconfig.stories.json
Storybook discovers mascot stories. Type checking includes the stories configuration and SolidJS tooling.
Antenna art and motion playgrounds
packages/mascot/src/antenna-art.stories.tsx, packages/mascot/src/antenna-motion.stories.tsx, packages/mascot/src/story-support.tsx
The stories demonstrate derived antenna sprites and reusable antenna motions with working-state controls, reduced-motion handling, and cleanup.
Work-bubble effects and combined playground
packages/mascot/src/story-bubble-effects.tsx, packages/mascot/src/work-bubble.stories.tsx, packages/mascot/src/work-combo.stories.tsx, .fallowrc.json
Sixteen bubble effects support animated and reduced-motion states. The playgrounds combine effects with rig state and antenna motion.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d743c

Cursor tracking can begin before the close animation finishes, so rapid state changes may interrupt eye centering and leave the robot looking off-center; Storybook also retains bounded risks around failed sprite loading and multiplied pointer handling. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Start gaze after the close pose completes.

If open changes to closed before stopGaze() finishes its centering tween, playClose() calls startGaze() immediately, and startGaze() kills the eyes x/y tween. Start gaze from the close timeline’s completion callback. Cancel or guard that callback when a later state transition or destroy() occurs.

Adds rig.stories.tsx with closed/open/work stories plus an interactive
state switch, so the rig (and the cursor gaze in the closed state) can be
iterated on visually. The rig is framework-free, so the story mounts it
from a Solid wrapper mirroring the widget's fab-robot.tsx layer structure
and destroys it on cleanup.

Story styling is inline rather than UnoCSS utilities, following
solid-stick-to-bottom: mascot ships no uno.config.ts and the unocss lint
plugin requires one. Storybook deps are dev-only and no solid-js peer
dependency is added, so the published package stays framework-free.

Six antenna-anchored effects side by side so the work-state bubble can be
picked by eye: comic thought cloud, floating pixel bubbles, radio signal
rings, speech bubble with typing dots, steam puffs and an electric spark.
A single working/idle toggle drives every stage at once, so the bubbles
can be compared against the closed state where the eyes track the cursor.

Mockup only: no rig.ts change, no new assets and no new dependencies.
Effects are gsap timelines killed on cleanup, and reduced motion renders a
static pose with no loops.

Brings the playground to sixteen labelled cells. Radial spark burst and
spark fountain port the reactbits ClickSpark draw loop to Solid: a
devicePixelRatio-scaled canvas overlay, sparks drawn as radial lines that
shrink as they travel on an ease-out, driven by requestAnimationFrame and
cancelled on cleanup. The burst re-fires on an interval at the antenna tip
and the fountain emits upward in a cone with a gravity arc.

The other eight are DOM and gsap: orbiting satellite, LED beacon cone,
rising binary, progress tick ring, signal bars, pixel heart pulse, music
notes and a matrix drip. Reduced motion draws a single static frame for
the canvases and a static pose for the rest, with no loops anywhere.

…ransitions

Adds two antenna explorations. antenna-motion drives the antenna layer
directly with story-local gsap: vibration bursts, squash-stretch throb,
elastic wobble, metronome tick, cursor lean and a combined beat. The rig is
pinned to its closed pose in those cells so the story timeline is the sole
antenna driver rather than fighting the rig's work tween.

antenna-art derives new tip sprites at runtime from the existing antenna
png: the ball is split from the stick at its measured bounding box, then
recoloured, hollowed, scaled into a glow, filled in charge stages and
redrawn higher for a double ball. All canvas work is unsmoothed at native
128 resolution, so the sprites stay pixel crisp.

Fixes the work-bubble canvas cells, which emitted 22px left and 7px above
the tip: the two canvas effects returned a bare canvas, so their offsets
resolved against the stage box instead of the tip anchor. The tip anchor is
now a measured constant shared by every effect. Idle and working are also
no longer a bare mount swap: a shared transition scales each effect out of
and back into the tip, and unmounts only once the exit tween finishes.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Sandbox verification was unavailable.

Derive the pixel canvas size from the decoded image.

createPixelCanvas fixes the canvas at ANTENNA_PIXEL_SIZE (128), and readAntennaPixels draws the image unscaled. If the antenna PNG intrinsic size is not exactly 128x128, every tip constant (TIP_LEFT, TIP_RIGHT, TIP_TOP, TIP_BOTTOM) addresses the wrong pixels and the derived sprites are wrong. Read image.naturalWidth/naturalHeight, or assert them against ANTENNA_PIXEL_SIZE.

getImageData also throws SecurityError if the asset taints the canvas. Confirm robotLayers.antenna is a same-origin or data URL in Storybook.

Reset the sprite cache on failure and handle the rejection.

spritesPromise caches a rejected promise permanently. If deriveSprites fails once, every later render resolves to the same rejection, so Playground keeps the "deriving antenna sprites…" fallback. Line 443 also drops the rejection, which surfaces as an unhandled promise rejection.

…otion

Adds mascot/WorkCombo: the sixteen bubble effects with a segmented control
that applies one antenna motion to every stage at once, so each effect and
motion pairing is reachable without rendering ninety-six cells. The rig is
pinned to its closed pose, matching the antenna-motion story, so the story
timeline is the only thing driving the antenna. cursor-lean composes with
the rig's closed-state gaze: eyes and antenna both track the pointer.

Shared machinery moves into story-support and story-bubble-effects rather
than being copied a third time, and both existing stories now import from
them. The modules are story-only, so they join the fallow ignore list
alongside the existing ui-kit story-connection helper; stories themselves
are already ignored, which would otherwise read these as unused files.

39-66: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

ComboStage duplicates MotionStage. The antenna wiring here matches MotionStage in packages/mascot/src/antenna-motion.stories.tsx lines 45-65: same signal, same effect body, same cleanup.

…s binary while working

Closed state: the existing eye gaze now also leans the antenna toward the
pointer through the same falloff, on one pointermove listener and one
arm/disarm lifecycle. Lean owns a rig-created wrapper around the antenna
layer so it composes with the pose tweens instead of racing their scoped
killTweensOf on rotation.

Work state: the antenna's sine sway becomes the squash-stretch throb with an
elastic release, and the rig owns a binary-digit emitter anchored at the
measured antenna tip that grows in on start, drains its live digits before
collapsing on stop, survives rapid state flapping as a single element, and is
removed on destroy. Reduced motion keeps the static pose with no pointer
follow and no emitter.

The playground's cursor-lean antenna motion is dropped now that the rig leans
natively; keeping it double-applied the lean.

…to open space

A FAB pinned near the top of the viewport has no headroom for the work
emitter's straight rise, so this playground prototypes bending the trail
toward whatever space is left. Each dashed box stands in for the viewport and
clips what leaves it; the robot sits where the FAB would sit at the same 20px
inset the widget uses.

measureEmitterRoom derives the plan from the measured gap between the antenna
tip and the box edges rather than from the placement name, so it drops into
the rig unchanged with the viewport as its bounds: full headroom rises
straight up, a squeezed top bends toward the side with more room.

Three curve styles are shown at once, each over all six placements. Every
path leaves the tip along the antenna axis, digits ride the whole curve
through MotionPathPlugin, and each glyph tilts with its tangent.

…it lanes

CSF turns every export of a stories file into a story, so exporting
measureEmitterRoom generated a broken mascot-emitterpath--measure-emitter-room
entry. The room math moves to story-support, which is also its natural home
before it lands in the rig.

The motion-path port had also flattened the emitter's two interleaved digit
columns onto one line. Each digit is now a zero-size rider that the path
drives and autoRotate tilts, carrying the glyph at a fixed offset along the
rider's local x axis. That axis is perpendicular to travel, so the lanes stay
parallel through the bend and the straight case reads as the original two
columns again.

…he tip

Two defects in the emitter-path playground, both measured against the rig's
own work emitter.

Digits piled up near the top of the straight-up cells. With no bend, the hook
and fan paths degenerate: the hook's turn collapses onto the vertical line so
it rises past the target and falls back, and the fan's per-digit lift gives
each digit a different path length at the same duration. Every style now
degrades to the plain vertical rise when bend is zero, and paths are resampled
at even arc length so progress maps to distance. The straight cells now match
the rig's ladder: 9.2px between digits with an 11.3px recycle gap, which is
the rig's 10.3/12.7 scaled by the shorter rise.

Digits also sat frozen on the antenna tip whenever the emitter mounted. Each
digit's tween starts at its stagger offset, and before that the rider sat at
the path origin at full opacity; the rig never showed this because its fromTo
applies opacity 0 to every digit up front. The riders now start hidden.

The changeset claimed both consumers keep their existing states, verified
against the previous implementation. That was false: the rig that shipped on
main had no gaze and no emitter, and this merge turns pointer-follow on for
the closed state and the binary emitter on for the work state on both the
widget FAB and the site FAB. Parity was measured against PR #486's prototype
on the donor branch, not against main; the changeset now says so.

Plan amendments: decision 1 records eyes scaleY and antenna scale as handoff
channels rather than disjoint ones, with the kill-narrowing as the
enforcement; decision 4 records the identical-parts short-circuit as the
implemented, StrictMode-preferred behavior; Task 5 step 2 drops `contain` from
the listed layer styling, which would clip the emitter. The phase-2 plan gains
an M1/M2 acceptance inventory recording both consumers' real layer boxes and
the bare-<Mascot> default-sizing requirement for W2.

createFabRobotRig plus the createMascot lifecycle, connect() ref
stability, reduced motion, gaze falloff, channel discipline and
re-registration guarantees. Run with `pnpm --filter @conciv/mascot

* test(mascot): harness selection guard and report scoping

An unknown --only value selected zero checks and reported ALL CHECKS
PASS with exit 0 — and the donor-parity claim rides on that flag. The
harness now derives its valid section list from the check table and
refuses an empty selection with a non-zero exit before it launches
Chromium.

Also widens the exit-drain sample window 350ms to 400ms (assertion
unchanged; clears the gsap ticker-lag flake margin), pins an explicit
viewport in openPage so the gaze pointer offsets never depend on the
Playwright default, and rescopes the changeset's parity wording to the
channels actually measured — the old work timeline's head bob is
intentionally dropped.

* fix(mascot): channel handoff, root-required registration, emitter re-anchor

Pose no longer kills the channels activity owns while working. killPosedTweens
narrows to head (all four), eyes scaleX and antenna rotation; eyes scaleY and
antenna scaleX/scaleY are handoff channels, owned by pose while idle and by
activity while working. Activity gains setEyeRest, which retargets the blink
return tween in place (vars + invalidate) instead of rebuilding the timeline,
so a mid-work state change keeps the original work timeline running and no
longer re-runs emitter.start (which fired a spurious returnToFull tween).

registerParts now requires the root. readyParts stopped falling back to
effectHost as the stage, so a bound effectHost could register with no root and
nulling the root never tore down. Root is the stage and coordinate origin;
effectHost is an optional separate mount target passed to the activity
controller as the emitter's parent.

The emitter re-anchors on a mid-work state change: trackTip runs a short gsap
tween that re-measures the antenna tip each frame while the pose settles.

Tip and lean-pivot measurement moved to tip-anchor.ts and became transform
aware: the antenna's untransformed layout box is walked up to the host and the
tip point is mapped through the element's own matrix, instead of reading
getBoundingClientRect (whose box inflates under rotation and would have thrown
the anchor ~15px off the tip on a rest to awake change). wrapForLean computes
the wrapper's transform-origin in pixels from the antenna's own box, so the
pivot lands on the antenna base regardless of the host's layer inset — the
site insets its layers 6px inside a 56px button, where the '50% 32.8%' string
resolved 2.06px above the antenna base. Widget behavior is unchanged (inset 0).

* test(mascot): harness hardening and assertions for the registration contract

gsapAsset rejects a request whose normalized path escapes the gsap package
directory. The harness page's emitter/lean-wrapper predicates are structural
(digit count and child count) instead of keyed off inline style strings.

Check A now pins that a mid-work state change keeps the ORIGINAL work timeline
object running, keeps the same emitter node, fires no returnToFull (emitter
scale stays 1) and re-anchors the emitter shell to the leaned tip. New check M
binds all four required refs plus an effectHost and asserts that nulling any
one required ref tears down (wrappers 0, listeners 0, antenna restored), and
that an effectHost on its own never registers, never arms and never emits.

* fix(mascot): effect-host tip anchoring and deterministic re-anchor

antennaTipAnchor mis-measured whenever an effectHost was bound. EFFECT_HOST_STYLE
is position:absolute inset:0 — a sibling overlay of the layers, never on the
antenna's offsetParent chain — so layoutOffsetWithin walked past it to null and
returned document-relative offsets, positioning the emitter by the stage's whole
page offset. It measures both the antenna and the host to the shared offset root
and subtracts, which is correct for an ancestor host (the base offsets cancel as
a prefix) and for a sibling host. Neither consumer binds an effect host today,
which is why phase 1 never surfaced it.

The tip measurement is normalized to rotation only. The antenna's throb drives
scaleX/scaleY continuously, so a tracker that ended on an arbitrary throb phase
settled the anchor with sub-pixel nondeterminism; rotation is the only antenna
channel that relocates the tip.

Harness: check M binds an effectHost together with all four required refs under
working: true and pins the emitter's parent and its offset inside that host;
check M2 pins the resting anchor against stage width x 0.5 and stage height x
0.15625, so the geometry module's absolute correctness no longer rests on a
one-off manual measurement. Both pins also pass against the donor dist.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): track tip through the working rising edge

startWorking measured the antenna tip once and never re-measured. On the
open -> work rising edge applyPose only STARTS the rest timeline, so
startEmitter reads the antenna while it still carries the awake -4deg
rotation; the pose then animates the rotation back to 0 and the emitter stays
at the leaned tip. That is the site's real path (hover -> awake, click ->
work), where it left the digit column ~1.4px off the tip on a 44px rig.
startWorking now calls trackTip over the same 0.45s window as the mid-work
path; it early-returns without an emitter, so reduced motion is unaffected.

Wiring that up exposed a second source of nondeterminism in the anchor:
gsap's CSSPlugin applies autoRound to px-valued CSS properties, so every
gsap.set on the emitter shell quantized the anchor to whole pixels — up to
0.5px of jitter as the pose settles, and inconsistent with the raw float the
shell is created with. Disabled with autoRound: false.

Harness: new core check N drives the adapter open -> work and pins that the
anchor enters at the leaned tip and settles exactly on the rest tip, against
the absolute stage-relative values the tip pins established. New anchorOf
helper reads the sub-pixel style value, because offsetLeft is integer-rounded
by the DOM and cannot resolve a 1.4px offset.

* fix(app): flip FAB working state in the sending tab

The launcher's working state came only from sessions.list, and the one refresh
fired at send time raced the server's live-run registration: core awaits the run
row, content expansion and live-run settling before liveRuns.start, so the
refetch answered running:false and nothing asked again until the turn ended.

Track the streaming session ids locally in the app context and derive the
launcher state from that OR the server rows, and expose the state through
aria-busy so it is perceivable and assertable.

Two panes can stream the same session id (quick-route duplicate panes, PiP), so

Cover the paths the first commit left unasserted: the closed launcher after a
mid-run minimize, and the handoff from local truth to server truth when the
streaming pane unmounts.

* test(mascot): convert behavior checks to standard playwright suite

The bespoke harness (own static server, PASS/FAIL printer, --only/--dist
flags, verify:behavior script) is gone. All 17 checks and 101 assertions
move into a @playwright/test suite under tests/e2e grouped by concern,
following the embed IT conventions: playwright.config.ts mirrors embed's,
assets are served through page.route instead of a hand-rolled server, and
the page-side measurement helpers live in tests/e2e/helpers.

vitest keeps the unit tests under tests/unit; the package test script now
runs both, so turbo's test gate covers the browser checks and CI picks up
chromium provisioning from the @playwright/ devDependency prefix.

* chore(mascot): audit sweep — changeset, refcount, test nits

Trim the mascot changeset to the user-facing effect: the harness paragraph
described a vehicle that no longer exists, and the donor/PR archaeology is
not release-note material.

Replace live-sessions' array bag with a per-session reference count so a
session that starts twice needs two stops, and the signal still hands back
a fresh map on every change.

Give the fab-working IT's immediacy claim in test 3 the same tight timeout
its siblings use (the busy-state handoff keeps the default: it waits on a
round-trip), and move the pane-harness live-sessions import into its group.

* feat(mascot): stage-relative emitter geometry

The binary emitter read its geometry as absolute pixels approved against
the 44px widget FAB stage, so on a large stage the robot art scaled and
the digits stayed 9px specks. Every emitter distance is now multiplied by
min(stageWidth, stageHeight) / EMITTER_REFERENCE_STAGE_PX, measured on
the effect host when the emitter is created: font size, the two lane
offsets, the digit placement and the rise. Rise duration, stagger and
eases are timing, not geometry, and stay fixed; the tip anchor and the
tip enter/exit scale are already fraction-based. A stage that measures
zero falls back to the reference factor.

At the 44px product stage the factor is exactly 1, so the shipped FAB is
byte-for-byte the same geometry, pinned by a parity test at 44px next to
a scaling test at 132px.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(storybook): mascot playground size/pose controls

Two controls join the state x working x follow matrix. stageSizePx is a
44-320px range whose lower bound is the widget FAB stage, and it demos
the stage-relative emitter directly: the digits grow with the stage.
poseApply picks how a state change lands, animated through update() or
instantly through the registration path.

Both ride one derived registration key on a keyed Show, so a size change
or a set-mode state change re-registers the parts and nothing else does:
no extra signal, no effect writing state. The emitter reads its scale
factor when it is created, so re-registering is what makes a size change
take effect.

No reduced-motion control: prefers-reduced-motion is a browser-level
media query page script cannot flip, and emulating it in the story would
demo the story instead of the core. The docs block points at the OS
setting and the DevTools Rendering panel instead.

* fix(app): keep live sessions quiet on an unknown stop

setRunning(id, false) for a session the map never saw still rebuilt the
map and handed the signal a fresh reference, waking every anyRunning
reader for a no-op. Return the same map when the id is absent and the
delta is negative.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): scale factor reads the antenna box

The factor came off the effect host, which is the same box as the
antenna on the widget FAB but not on the site FAB: that one insets its
layers inside a 56px button, so the emitter scaled by 56/44 and shipped
digits 27% too big while the changeset claimed the FAB was untouched.

Read the factor off the antenna layer instead. That is the frame the tip
math already works in, and it is the box the antenna art is drawn into,
so the digits now stay proportional to the art wherever the art lands.
The widget FAB measures 44px there and keeps factor 1 exactly; a stage
and an inset button that render the same 44px antenna now render the
same emitter.

Covered by a site-shaped case in the scale suite: a 44px antenna inset
in a 56px button must produce the approved geometry, which fails at
11.4545px font before this change.

* perf(app): memoize anyRunning so unchanged booleans stay quiet

anyRunning read the counts signal directly, so every setRunning woke
every reader even when the boolean did not move: the second start and
the first stop of a multiset session both notified for nothing. A memo
collapses them, and the test's notification count drops from 5 to 3,
which is the assertion that proves it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(app): drop guard subsumed by anyRunning memo

The unknown-id guard in withDelta and the anyRunning memo solved the
same problem twice. The memo is the general one: it stops every no-op
transition, including the multiset middle start and stop the guard never
saw. With it in place no test could fail on the guard alone, because
counts is private and an unknown stop never flips the boolean, so the
guard was unfailable code. One good way; the memo stays.

* feat(mascot): keyed effect hosts, per-channel follow, head bob and the skin seam

Core contract extensions for phase 2 (task CC0).

Keyed effect hosts and additive effects: the service gains mountEffect(id, mount)
and unmountEffect(id) over an EffectHandle that is exactly Binary's existing
shape, and connect() gains getEffectHostProps(id) with a stable per-id ref. The
activity controller stops constructing Binary and instead drives every mounted
handle on the working edges, so two mounted effects are two live emitters and
both drain on the falling edge. Core mounts nothing of its own; the legacy
createFabRobotRig adapter mounts Binary itself under the id 'binary' and keeps
its behavior unchanged. Effect hosts are dynamic attachments rather than
structural parts, so binding one after the four part refs re-homes the effect
without re-registering the rig.

Per-channel follow: config follow accepts a boolean or {eyes, antenna},
normalized internally, and the follow controller arms and disarms the eyes and
lean-wrapper channels independently, returning a dropped channel to zero. state
and working stay global.

Head bob restored: the work timeline carries the donor head motion (yPercent -5,
sine.inOut, one second down and back from beat 0), with head yPercent as a
handoff channel owned by activity while working and returned to the pose value on
the same 0.2s recovery when work stops. Pose no longer kills head yPercent.

Skin seam: every art-coupled value (layer images, transform origins, antenna
origin and tip fractions, awake eye scale, the emitter's reference antenna size)
moves behind one optional MascotSkin on createMascot, defaulting to robotSkin.
Motion timing and eases stay in config: they are behavior, not art.

Also hardens two suite assertions that sampled a short tween window at a fixed
wall-clock offset: the staged-enter scale and the leaned-tip anchor are now read
in the same task as the transition, where gsap's immediateRender has just written
the from-values, so neither depends on when the first frame lands.

* fix(mascot): close the falling-edge tween race and widen the effect contract

Review round 1 on CC0.

Falling-edge handoff: when a working-to-idle transition also changes state, the
pose transition now owns the shared channels outright instead of racing a 0.2s
recovery tween on head yPercent and eye scaleY. Recovery narrows to what the
incoming pose does not write: playRest normalizes the antenna scale itself, so a
work-to-rest edge recovers nothing, while playAwake never touches antenna scale,
so a work-to-awake edge still recovers that one channel. Pinned by counting live
writers per element across the handoff, which is what actually distinguishes the
two designs: end states landed correctly either way because the pose timeline is
created last and wins the tick.

Mid-work pose change: the head bob is a fromTo whose base is now re-based on
setRest alongside the blink retarget, so after a rest-to-awake change mid-work the
bob oscillates around the new pose head value instead of the stale one. Without
this the bob re-centered on 0 while the pose sat at -2.

EffectMount widens to take one EffectContext ({host, stage, antenna, skin}) that
the core supplies, so binaryEffect is now a bare mount and future effects need no
per-effect plumbing through wrapper files. Tip anchoring becomes opt-in: an
EffectHandle may expose anchor(tip) and the activity controller calls it only when
present, which moves the gsap.set inside the effect that owns the element and lets
anchored effects omit it entirely. EffectHandle therefore no longer carries
element, and the BinaryEmitter alias is gone.

Also: the tip tracker no longer spins up a dummy tween when no work timeline
exists (reduced motion); re-homing an effect host drains the old handle instead of
hard-cutting it; a handle detached by unmountEffect or a host re-home stays
reachable in a draining set so dispose removes it; unmountEffect gets the same
destroyed guard as mountEffect; and the awake head and antenna pose geometry moves
into the skin beside the awake eye scale.

* chore(mascot): relocate story to package home

Stories live in the owning package; the storybook app globs them. Moves
mascot.stories.tsx to packages/mascot/src, adds the package glob, and
restores apps/storybook to its pre-story shape (no ../src glob, no
@conciv/mascot dep, no src/**/*.tsx in tsconfig).

The package hosts the story with devDeps only (solid-js, storybook,
storybook-solidjs-vite) plus jsx/jsxImportSource in tsconfig; files is
still ["dist"], so the published surface is untouched.

Also fixes the docs typo: un-anchored effects omit anchor(tip).

* test(mascot): deterministic clock for animation assertions

Every mid-animation assertion sampled a wall-clock window, so its value
depended on how fast the runner happened to tick. installManualClock()
takes GSAP off its own ticker (gsap.ticker.remove(gsap.updateRoot), plus
lagSmoothing(0)) and advanceTo/advanceBy render the global timeline in
fixed 16.67ms steps, so eases, repeats and onCompletes fire exactly where
they do in real time at any runner speed.

Thresholds are unchanged; the sampling became exact. The throb peak is
now read at beat 0.3 (1.3 on the nose), the bob floor at beat 1.0, the
blink at 1.15+0.07, the enter at tip scale 0.2, recovery one epsilon past
its 0.2s, and the awake anticipation at its exact 80ms and 280ms segment
ends instead of inside a 260ms wall-clock window with a 31ms margin.

Pointer-driven follow, reduced motion and the ref-binding tests stay on
the wall clock: nothing they assert reads a tween's progress. The split
and its reasoning are written down in tests/e2e/helpers/README.md.

* fix(mascot): drain bookkeeping for in-flight exits

detachAndDrain added a handle to `draining` and then called stop() on it.
When an exit was already in flight (the falling edge had stopped it and
the entry still held the handle), stop() early-returns without scheduling
anything, so onRemoved never fired and the Set kept a dead handle until
dispose, which then removed it a second time.

The states were the problem, not the callback: a handle that is exiting
belongs in `draining` regardless of which path stopped it. stopEntry now
routes through the same beginDrain as detachAndDrain, beginDrain refuses
to stop a handle that is already draining, and removeEntry takes the
handle out of `draining` before removing it. Every exiting handle is
tracked exactly once, and dispose sweeps only what is still in flight.

Covers the missing path: stop (begin drain), unmountEffect during the
exit window, clean sweep with no double-remove.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): drain set released on restart and guarded manual-clock waits

start() cancels an in-flight exit by contract and never fires onRemoved,
so a handle restarted mid-exit stayed in `draining` forever. Every later
falling edge then hit the beginDrain guard, returned without calling
stop(), and the emitter stuck on screen — reachable by plain
work/closed flapping. startEntry now releases the handle from `draining`
before starting it, which is what "start cancels the exit" means in
bookkeeping terms.

The existing flap test could not see this: it ends on working:true and
only counts nodes. The new test flaps through the exit window and asserts
the second falling edge really stops the restarted handle (live 0,
stops 2, removes 1).

Also closes the harness hole behind it: wait/sampleFrames/waitUntil now
throw when the manual clock is installed instead of silently burning real
milliseconds that move no animation, and advanceTo refuses to rewind.

* feat(mascot): curve paths for the emitter

The binary emitter could only rise straight up, so a robot squeezed against
the top of the viewport pushed its digits off screen. It now rides a measured
curve: arc, hook, fan, straight, or auto.

Geometry is the proven EmitterPath technique, ported as-is from the donor
exploration story. Control points come from the measured {rise, bend}, the
path is resampled at even arc length through MotionPathPlugin so progress maps
to distance, and each digit rides it under autoRotate with a vertical tangent
at the tip. Lane offsets moved inside a rider span so they ride the rotated
local frame instead of the stage frame. With no bend to spend every style
degenerates to the plain vertical rise, which is what keeps auto honest.

auto resolves off the room rather than the placement name: ample headroom
rises straight, a squeezed tip arcs toward whichever side has more room, and
the sign and magnitude are already pinned by measureEmitterRoom. Room is
measured in stage-local coordinates against the viewport and recomputed on
every emitter start, matching the donor: not live on scroll or resize.

straight is untouched and stays the default, so the shipped FAB renders the
same DOM through the same timeline it always did.

Config rides the effect, not the core. binaryEffect stays the bare
default-straight mount and configureBinaryEffect({curve}) returns an
EffectMount closed over its configuration, so mountEffect's signature never
grows a config argument. That two-export shape is the template for the
remaining effect ports.

MotionPathPlugin registers once at core/path.ts module scope; sideEffects
names the bundle that carries it. Embed bundle grows 23,373 bytes and the
plugin registers exactly once in it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): center the curve riders and reset them on a straight restart

Review round 1 on the curve work.

The screenshot loop in the curve suite wrote into a hardcoded agent-session
scratchpad path. Those images were one-shot evidence, not machinery, so the
five tests and the path go away; the surviving structural assertion was
already covered elsewhere.

A rider was a zero-size box with its glyph hung at the straight emitter's
centering offset, so autoRotate swung the glyph around the path point instead
of tilting it in place — roughly 11px off the curve at a quarter turn. The
centering now sits on the rider itself and the glyph carries only its lane
offset, which is what rides the rotated frame.

Restarting into a room that no longer bends fell back to the vertical rise
timeline, which only writes y and opacity: a rider left over from a curve kept
its x and rotation and rose vertically while parked sideways and tilted.
Measured 23.29px of stale sideways offset before the fix. The fallback now
zeroes both first, pinned by a stepped-clock test that squeezes the stage,
restores its headroom and restarts before the drain completes.

The launch-drift bound was absolute at the FAB scale, so it silently widened
to about 6px on a 320px stage; it is now a fraction of the landing distance
and a large-stage case covers it. The monotonicity check also ran over a
filtered subset, which hid a dip-under-and-recover reversal, so it now walks
the contiguous samples once the curve is under way.

Story headroom was a fixed pixel count, which pushed the default straight rise
off the top of the frame on a large stage; it is a multiple of the stage size
now, so every robot keeps the same proportional headroom.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(mascot): pin the curve rider placement and its reset on a straight restart

Review round 2, test-only.

The rider centering fix had no test. The package already reads placement
through style.left/top rather than measured boxes, so the same contract covers
this: a curved digit's rider carries the centering offset and the glyph inside
it carries only its lane, at the FAB scale and tripled. Reverting the rider to
a flat anchor fails both with "-4px" and "-12px" against "0px".

The restart test read x only, so dropping rotation from the reset stayed green
while the digits rose permanently tilted — 83.16 degrees of it. The same
stepped sampling now reads rotation alongside x.

The backtrack tolerance was the last absolute bound in a file of proportional
ones, so it ran about seven times tighter on a large stage. It scales with the
landing distance now, like the drift bound above it.

emitterGeometry reads the straight emitter's flat digits; handed a curve rider
it would have reported one anchor for both lanes and called the lane offset
zero. It throws instead, and curvedDigitPlacement reads the rider and glyph
separately. The helpers README documents which reader owns which shape.

* feat(mascot): publish skeleton — subpath exports, unbundled dist, packed-install fixture

Split the framework-free service out of the rig: src/core/index.ts exports createMascot,
robotSkin, robotLayers and the config/part/effect/curve types, and deliberately re-exports
no effect so a core-only consumer carries no emitter code. src/rig.ts becomes a thin compat
layer over that index plus the binary effect, keeping the exported name set both the widget
and the site already import.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(mascot): port 15 donor effects as subpath entries

Each donor effect ships as its own entry — ./effects/matrix, thought-cloud, pixel-bubbles,
signal-rings, speech-bubble, steam, spark, spark-burst, spark-fountain, satellite, led-cone,
tick-ring, signal-bars, heart, notes — beside the existing ./effects/binary, with a tsdown
entry and an exports key each. Nothing is added to the "." compat entry or the core index:
importing one effect must not drag in another, which publish-surface.test.ts now asserts
per effect over the emitted import graph, and packed-install.test.ts proves every subpath
resolves from a packed tarball with no framework installed.

The plumbing every emitter repeated — antenna scale factor, the tip shell element, and the
enter/exit/anchor/remove handle around enterFromTip/exitIntoTip/returnToFull — moves into
core/effects/effect-support.ts. Effects keep their own geometry, styles and timelines; no
animation value changed.

* fix(mascot): antenna and eyes bob with the head while working

The working bob moved the head layer alone, so the antenna and eyes stayed pinned while the
head rose and fell. Every layer that rides the head now shares the bob, and the e2e harness
reads the per-layer transforms so the assertion is on what the layers actually do.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): awake pose lifts antenna and eyes with the head

The awake pose raised the head to the skin's awakeHeadYPercent while the antenna and eyes
stayed pinned at 0, the static cousin of the working-bob desync. The pose now drives the
yPercent of every layer that rides the head, so the bob and the pose share one rest offset:
the bob targets all three layers directly and the falling-edge layer recovery rides the
existing pose-recovery flag instead of hardcoding 0.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): emitter anchor tracks the moving antenna + review-wave cleanups

The tip anchor reduced the antenna transform to rotation only, so every
emitter sat at the untranslated tip while the antenna pumped through the
work bob and the awake lift. localMatrix now carries the translation (scale
stays dropped so the throb cannot jitter the anchor), and the anchor is
driven from the work timeline's onUpdate for the whole life of the timeline
instead of a one-shot 0.45s tween that died while the bob kept repeating.

Cleanups from the same review wave: the two canvas effects share their
plumbing through effect-support, keep their frame loop alive through the
staged exit instead of freezing mid-drain, every shell carries
WILL_CHANGE_STYLE, signal-rings owns its colour, and the effect stories
share one shape.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): anchor rides the throb, one tip per tick, honest frame counting

The tip anchor dropped the antenna scale, so at each throb peak the real tip
sat ~6px above the anchored point twice per cycle — a visible pulse-desync now
that tracking is per-frame. localMatrix carries the whole computed matrix, so
the anchor rides rotation, translation and stretch alike.

anchorEffects computes the antenna tip once per timeline tick and subtracts
each host's layout offset, instead of walking the offsetParent chain and
reading getComputedStyle once per mounted effect per frame.

The spark emit guard compared a document timestamp against zero, so an effect
mounted inside the first emit interval of page life swallowed its first burst;
the first frame is now due by construction.

The rAF counting shim moves into a page init script: gsap re-reads the global
requestAnimationFrame on every ticker wake (gsap-core.js:1336), so a shim
installed after the module import was adopted only on a later wake and
silently added one to every reading taken after it.

* perf(mascot): zero per-frame layout work in anchor and gaze paths

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* perf(mascot): compositor-only paint, pooled particles, one ticker, off-screen parking

Animated blur filters repainted every frame on the two hottest effects: the
four continuously scale-animated steam puffs and the spark glow. Both now bake
their softness into a radial-gradient background (closest-side, so the falloff
lands on the box edge instead of the corner), leaving scale a pure compositor
transform.

The two canvas particle systems allocated on every frame - filter(), spread
concat, Array.from per emit, forEach closures. They now hold fixed Float64Array
pools (fountain 42, burst 20), emit into a write index, and compact in place
with a for loop, so a working mascot allocates nothing per frame.

Every effect frame loop rode its own requestAnimationFrame. They now ride
gsap.ticker, so the whole mascot shares one rAF and every canvas paint lands
after the timeline writes for that tick.

The falling edge froze emission but kept the canvas painting, so the sparks a
turn had already thrown were cut off; the drain now pauses emission only and
lets the live particles finish inside the staged exit.

A completed drain dropped the effect handle, so every idle -> working toggle
re-mounted the effect: forced layout for the antenna scale and tip anchor plus
a fresh canvas allocation per chat turn. The handle now rests instead - element
detached, timeline killed, loop cancelled - and the next work turn reuses it.
remove() still tears the handle down fully on unmount and dispose.

Nothing runs while the mascot is off-screen: an IntersectionObserver on the
stage parks the work timeline, rests the effects and detaches the gaze
listener, and scrolling back resumes from whatever the state machine says.

Also: one module-level matchMedia for reduceMotion, memoized frozen layer style
records per skin so connect() allocates nothing per render, and unmountEffect
and destroy() now clear the effect-host maps they were leaking.

matrix, steam, notes and pixel-bubbles placed their shell on the
mount-time tip and then rode it every frame, so a throb release dragged

follow the binary nozzle physics: the shell stays where it was placed,
the handle overrides anchor with an assignment-only aimNozzle, and each
particle is its own repeating fromTo whose function-based x/y snapshot
the nozzle at the start of every cycle (repeatRefresh, immediateRender
off). Animation values are unchanged; only the anchoring semantics move.

* feat(mascot): bob, throb and blink become config toggles

MascotConfig gains an optional activity object, normalized the way
followChannels normalizes follow: each of bob, throb and blink defaults
to on, so an omitted field keeps the shipped overlay. buildWorkTimeline
adds only the pieces that are asked for, setRest retargets whichever
bob and blink tweens exist, and the falling-edge recovery is intersected
with the channels the session actually ran, so a throb-less run never
writes an antenna scale and a bob-less run never writes a yPercent.
update() with changed channels while working rebuilds the timeline
through the same start path a working edge uses. The Core and Binary
stories grow the three boolean controls.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): a dropped activity channel recovers, and the cycle keeps its length

Three review findings on the activity toggles.

Flipping a channel off mid-work rebuilt the timeline without ever
recovering the piece it dropped: the old timeline was killed mid-tween
and the new one had no piece for that channel, so a blink dropped mid-
close froze the eyes at scaleY 0.1 and a throb dropped mid-beat froze
the antenna stretched. start() now diffs the outgoing session's channels
against the incoming ones and runs the existing recovery machinery for
whatever was dropped, before it builds the replacement.

The cycle length was emergent from whichever pieces were included, so
bob and throb off shrank the loop from 2.0s to 1.4s and sped the blink
cadence up by 30%. WORK_CYCLE_S is derived from the beats already in
config, and every timeline carries a pacer tween that spans it, so the
cadence of a piece no longer depends on its neighbours. The pacer also
gives an all-channels-off session a real, full-length animation instead
of an empty one whose onUpdate only fired through a gsap edge case, so
effect anchoring keeps tracking a tip that the pose is moving.

* feat(mascot): the robot renders as one Solid component

Add `@conciv/mascot/solid`. `<Mascot>` on its own renders the whole robot —
head, antenna and eyes on a 44px default stage plus the binary emitter — and
`<Mascot.Head>`, `<Mascot.Eyes>`, `<Mascot.Antenna>` and `<Mascot.Binary>`
each replace the default they name and hand it back when they unmount. Parts
register themselves through context, so fragments, `<Show>` and any child
order work; each layer carries its own depth, so a child eyes layer is not
painted over by the default head.

The wrapper is a mechanical mirror of the core service: root props feed
`update`, part refs feed `registerParts` on mount (the core needs the elements
connected before it wraps the antenna for lean), effect children feed
`mountEffect`/`unmountEffect`, and cleanup destroys the service. Consumer
`style`, `class`, `ref` and every other attribute land after the core ones.

`solid-js` becomes an optional peer dependency and `./solid` is the only entry
that reaches it: the core and effect subpaths stay framework-free, proven by
the module-graph checks and by a packed install that has only solid present.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): the wrapper defers to consumer styling and the rig survives a part swap

Round-1 review fixes for the Solid wrapper.

The 44px default stage now applies only when the consumer sizes nothing, so a
`class` on the root wins instead of losing to an inline default — the site's
56px FAB would silently have become a 44px stage with the anchors measured
against the wrong box. A layer keeps the geometry the rig measures
(`position`, `inset`, the `background` shorthand parts) no matter what the
consumer style says; everything else still merges over the core.

Part claims are counted, not flagged, and the core learns the two things a
wrapper needs to survive a swap: a part's props carry `release(element)` that
clears the slot only when that element is still the bound one, and a slot
keeps its candidates, so when one of two claimants leaves, the survivor takes
over instead of leaving the rig torn down with a live element on screen. Layer
stacking moves into the core layer styles, where the React wrapper inherits
it. Re-mounting an effect on the same id — a curve change — drains the flying
particles the way every other stop does instead of dropping them.

`<Mascot.Eyes follow={false}>` and `<Mascot.Antenna follow={false}>` opt one
gaze channel out through the core's per-channel follow; `follow` on the head
is a type error. `skin` becomes `initialSkin`: it is read once, when the
service is created, and the name says so.

The subpath now ships the Ark shape — `solid` condition on the JSX-preserved
source next to the compiled DOM build — and every element renders through
`Dynamic`, so `@conciv/mascot/solid` also imports and server-renders under
plain node, which the packed solid fixture now proves by rendering the robot.

* fix(mascot): one part per slot, and consumer styling survives the merge

Round-2 review fixes, with the owner's single-claim ruling.

A part slot holds one element. A second child claiming a part it already has
throws by name — "mascot part 'eyes' is already provided; render exactly one
<Mascot.Eyes>" — instead of quietly winning or corrupting the slot, and the
release stays identity-guarded so an outgoing child can never clear an
incoming one. Every supported swap is pinned by a test: a <Show> toggle, a
keyed <For>, a <Switch>/<Match> swap and reordered children all dispose before
the replacement claims, so none of them ever throws.

The default stage size stops being an inline style and becomes a
`:where([data-scope=mascot][data-part=root])` rule in a constructed sheet
adopted into the element's own root node, so it reaches shadow roots and any
consumer class or style outranks it at zero specificity. A class that only
paints leaves the 44px stage alone.

Consumer styles are parsed instead of split: a `url("data:…;base64,…")` keeps
its semicolons, `!important` keeps its priority, and `undefined` values are
dropped instead of landing as the string "undefined". The layer blocklist now
covers the `background` shorthand and every inset longhand by prefix.

Test sleeps are gone — the drain, the flap and the gaze wait on the emitter
count and the tween value instead of a fixed 900ms, and the suite lost 4.5s of
dead time. The one <style> a test installs is removed when it finishes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(mascot): a layer keeps only the four background properties it owns

The layer blocklist matched the whole `background-` prefix, so a consumer
`background-color`, `-clip`, `-origin`, `-attachment` or `-blend-mode` on a
part was silently dropped even though the core never sets any of them. It now
names what the core owns — the `background` shorthand (which resets the layer
art) plus `background-image`, `-repeat`, `-size` and the `background-position`
family — and everything else merges through, which the merge test now pins
with a `background-color` that lands.

`MascotPartRef` narrows to `(element: HTMLElement) => void`. Nothing passes
null any more: teardown goes through the identity-guarded `release(element)`,
including the core teardown test, so the null branch in the slot and effect
host refs is gone rather than kept for a caller that no longer exists.

* refactor(conciv): move the FAB mascot onto the <Mascot> compound API

The widget FAB stopped hand-rigging the robot. Three refs, an onMount, an
onCleanup and a createEffect calling rig.apply() collapse into a declarative
tree; @conciv/mascot/solid owns mount ordering, teardown, visibility parking
and remeasure.

The state mapping is taken from createFabRobotRig's own table, not simplified:
while a run streams the robot stays in the rest pose with working=true even
when the panel is open, which is what shipped before. follow={!open} is exact
rather than approximate because core already zeroes follow whenever working.

The widget CSS carried a byte-identical second copy of the three layer PNGs as
base64, plus positioning and transform-origins the package now sets inline.
Deleted; what stays is the 44px stage box and the eye glow, which the package
deliberately leaves to the host. Widget bundle drops 17.6 kB gzipped.

A new embed IT pins the DOM/CSS contract as the busy-glow selector itself, so
the test fails for the same reason the glow would.

derived from the working state alone.

effect catalog is keyed by the sixteen effect names, so the lookup is total

* test(embed): pin the launcher mascot state table, and two deferred fixes

The widget FAB derives three mascot props from open/working, so the embed suite
now pins the table observably: closed and idle rests and tracks the pointer,
open with nothing running wakes, and opening the panel mid-run keeps the
emitter alive. The site prerender check reads the root tag before matching its
class, so attribute order cannot break it, and build-storybook gets the heap it
needs to finish.

* docs(mascot): rewrite the readme for the component api and consolidate the changeset

* test(embed): one helper opens the held streaming turn every fab suite needs

The three fab tests that hold a run open each repeated the same five lines, so
the setup moves into the chat helpers. The mascot readme snippets read as
components instead of leading-semicolon expressions.

* refactor(mascot): the effect fallback flag stays private to the package

The exported MascotEffectProps no longer carries the internal fallback flag, so
a consumer cannot re-open the double-host bug by passing it; the root and the
binary shorthand render the wider EffectHost instead. The readme names React's
own conventions rather than claiming identical props, and warns that mount is a
dependency there — its example hands over a stable module-level mount. The embed
pin is named for what it asserts: the emitter keeps running while the panel is
open.

* refactor(mascot): the react claim mechanism stays internal, and the tests read the skin

The react entry no longer exports ClaimToken or PartClaim: the claim tokens are
how the wrapper tracks slots, not API, and the solid entry exports neither. The
context memo drops the permanently-stable curve ref from its deps, the packed
install probe reads the one effect catalog the tests already share, and the
stage helpers derive the tip and origin fractions from robotSkin instead of
repeating its numbers. The readme and the changeset now describe the merge and
the react mount contract the way the code actually behaves.

* fix(mascot): review-bot round — no casts, dispose resets, canvas origin at the tip

* fix(mascot): let the solid-start e2e host compile mascot's solid-condition .jsx dist

The solid-start e2e app excluded every workspace /packages/*/dist/ path from
vite-plugin-solid to keep solid-refresh's dev wrapper off precompiled minified
.js dists. @conciv/mascot now ships dist/solid/*.jsx as real JSX source behind
the "solid" export condition (the pattern @ark-ui/solid publishes), and the
embed bundle externalizes @conciv/mascot/solid, so the consumer host resolves
and compiles it. The over-broad exclude swallowed that JSX: vite fell back to
esbuild's classic runtime and served React.createElement calls, so the widget's
Solid render threw into an error boundary and the shadow root mounted empty
with no page error. Narrow the exclude to .js so precompiled dists stay
excluded and JSX source is compiled for Solid.
