When to use it

Maintenance pages, coming-soon placeholders, neo-brutalist hero sections needing high-contrast industrial energy.

When not to

Polished, minimal, or light-background UIs — background is hardcoded dark (#111) and aesthetic is intentionally abrasive.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the label text to "SITE OFFLINE", set stripe color to #ff3b3b (red), and slow the scroll animation to 2.4s. 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

  • stripe scroll speed (1.2s in bru-stripe-scroll animation)
  • stripe color (#ffe640 in repeating-linear-gradient)
  • label title text (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
  • label subtitle text (DO NOT CROSS THIS LINE)
  • stripe height (72px)
  • pulse animation duration (1.4s)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (reduce check)
  • visibilitychange pause/play handlers
  • IIFE wrapper
  • bru-animate class toggle pattern
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded #111 — must edit CSS to change dark surround
  • Stripe scroll direction is fixed left-to-right; reversing requires negating background-position end value
