fix: welcome mascot no longer jumps, blinks only on hover#69
Merged
Conversation
The wave->idle frame switch and the squash-stretch bounce frames have slightly different proportions, so every swap read as a glitchy jump. The mascot is now completely still; the only interaction is its eyes closing while hovered (the blink pair is the one pixel-stable swap). Verified in browser: no frame changes over 6s idle, closed on hover, open on leave.

User feedback: the welcome mascot looked like it was glitch-jumping. Root cause: the wave/bounce pose frames have slightly different proportions, so frame swaps read as jumps rather than animation.
Removed the mount wave, the timed idle blink, and the hover bounce. The mascot is now perfectly still with one micro-interaction: eyes close while hovered (the blink pair is the only pixel-stable frame swap).
Browser-verified: zero frame changes over 6s idle, closed on hover, open on leave. Build + 121 tests green.
