When to use it

Luxury brand hero backgrounds, title screens, dark-theme decorative headers needing regal ambient motion.

When not to

Light backgrounds (hardcoded dark stage). Contexts requiring text overlays — crown fills center of frame.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the gold accent to rose gold by setting --ad12-gold to #c9836a and --ad12-gold-hi to #f0c4b0, then slow the halo spin to 120s. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • gold palette (--ad12-gold, --ad12-gold-hi, --ad12-gold-dim)
  • halo spin speed (60s in ad12-spin)
  • fan spoke count (M=15)
  • ray count (N=48)
  • breathe scale range (.965 / 1.035)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper with DocumentFragment batch inserts
  • visibilitychange pause handler
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Ray group built in JS — blank if script fails
  • Dark background not overridable via single CSS variable
