Dappled Light Hero
Plein-Air Light register: warm pigment fields drift behind a still editorial headline. Start a study creates a timestamped twenty-minute session record in hero.dh12Studies and emits dh12:study. Preview presses create no records; reload clears session.

When to use it
Landing and section heroes for painterly, outdoor, wellness-adjacent or editorial products that want atmosphere without a photograph.
When not to
Dense hero layouts, or brands whose ground must stay neutral (the washes tint the whole frame).
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Edit copy, --dh12-wash-* tokens, drift clocks (24s / 18s) and EVERY=5200. Handle dh12:study for persistence. Light tokens: --pro-bg:#f1e5ce; --pro-surface:#faf4e7; --pro-border:rgba(32,48,68,.1); --pro-text:#203044; --pro-muted:#686b6b; --pro-accent:#9e3e31. Update catalog bg if default changes. ?theme=light and forever:theme switch palette.
Safe to edit
- theme tokens (:root --pro-bg, --pro-surface, --pro-border, --pro-text, --pro-muted, --pro-accent)
- copy (kicker, .dh12-h, .dh12-b, button, note)
- wash tokens (--dh12-wash-warm / -cool / -red / -leaf) and drift clocks (24s, 18s)
- dab positions in .dh12-dabs (percentages across the whole element, never tiled)
- demo press cadence (EVERY)
Keep intact
- :root --pro-* token block (renaming breaks the shared pro theming API)
- role=group + aria-label on the interactive hero; decorative layers aria-hidden
- IIFE wrapper
- two clocks never mixed: atmosphere drifts on transform/opacity, the control answers in 220 ms, text never moves
- prefers-reduced-motion guard (the composition settles complete and still)
- visibilitychange pause
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
- demo-v1: initialize from window.__foreverPreview; stop attract work on forever:interactive; keep manual actions and cleanup
Known limitations
- Light re-theme via the --pro-* block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
- Ysabeau / Source Sans 3 fall back to Georgia and the system sans
- Below ~260 px the supporting line hides before the headline shrinks
- Study records live in hero.dh12Studies for this mount only, emit dh12:study, and are lost on reload; no persistent save is claimed.
- State remains local to each mounted instance; format/theme remount preserves takeover, not component values.
