When to use it

Dark-themed dashboards, dramatic on/off controls, game UIs needing tactile mechanical weight for a toggle action.

When not to

Light backgrounds (panel hardcoded dark green-black). High-frequency toggling — multi-phase animation takes ~154 frames per cycle.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change accent color from green to red alert by setting AC='#ff4444', update ARMED/SAFE legend colors to match, and slow the cover lift by changing DUR.lift to 70. 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

  • accent color (AC='#9fe870')
  • phase durations (DUR object: lift/throw/slam/rest)
  • cover swing angle (cover*1.05 rad)
  • lever travel arc (ang=(lever-0.5)*1.6)
  • hazard stripe color (#f4d03f) and opacity (0.16)
  • idle demo cadence (LEAD=24 / GAP=14; ARMED↔SAFE flip every ~2.8 s)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • phase state machine (phase/pt guards prevent re-triggering mid-animation)
  • DPR-aware canvas sizing
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • reduced-motion guard with static draw fallback
  • idle demo flip (the same trigger() a click runs; real input takes over)
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
  • demo-v1 preview lifecycle: initialize demoEnabled from window.__foreverPreview and stop attract work on the window forever:interactive event; retain manual feedback, settling, cleanup and explicit sessions

Known limitations

  • Pointer click and Space/Enter toggle the safety latch; manual phases finish without restarting the demo.
  • State remains local to each mounted instance; format/theme remount preserves takeover, not component values.
