+- [ ] **Step 2: Remove the now-unused `revealedIndex` state and cascade effect**
+
+Locate line 149:
+```tsx
+ const [revealedIndex, setRevealedIndex] = useState(-1);
+```
+Delete this line entirely.
+
+Locate lines 178-184:
+```tsx

+ }, [copied]);
+```
+Delete this entire block.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Verify**
+
+Run: `npm run typecheck && npm run lint`
+Expected: PASS
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/components/ui/CtaModal.tsx
+git commit -m "refactor(cta): swap TryFreeCard+StepRow for HeroButton+StepCard layout"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 12: Remove unused components (TryFreeCard, StepRow, ConfettiBurst, ProgressRing, KeyCap)
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `src/components/ui/CtaModal.tsx` — delete unused sub-component definitions
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Delete TryFreeCard function**
+
+Delete the entire `TryFreeCard` function block (comment header `/* ═… TRY FREE CARD … */` through closing brace). It's no longer called.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Delete StepRow function**
+
+Delete the entire `StepRow` function block (comment header `/* ═… STEP ROW … */` through closing brace).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Delete KeyCap function**
+
+Delete the entire `KeyCap` function block (comment header `/* ═… KEYCAP … */` through closing brace). The new `StepCard` uses inline `` markup, no KeyCap needed.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Delete ConfettiBurst function and BURST_PARTICLES constant**
+
+Delete the `BURST_PARTICLES` constant and the `ConfettiBurst` function block.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Delete ProgressRing function**
+
+Delete the entire `ProgressRing` function block — not used by the simplified HeroButton.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Clean unused imports**
+
+In the `lucide-react` import at the top (around line 14-24), remove these now-unused icons: `Sparkles` is still used (non-windows notice), `Globe`, `Key`, `Lock` still used in ORBIT_ICONS. Keep them. But if `Sparkles` is imported twice or anywhere else is unused, clean up. Do NOT remove `CheckCircle2` (used by LaunchedChip) or `ArrowRight` (used by HeroButton).
+
+Verify the import block still reads valid TypeScript after edits.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Verify**
+
+Run: `npm run typecheck && npm run lint`
+Expected: PASS. If any icon is reported unused by eslint, remove it from the import list.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add src/components/ui/CtaModal.tsx
+git commit -m "refactor(cta): remove unused TryFreeCard, StepRow, KeyCap, ConfettiBurst, ProgressRing"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 13: Full build verification
+
+**Files:**
+- No source changes in this task — verification only
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Run full check**
+
+Run: `npm run check`
+Expected: all three (lint + typecheck + build) pass clean. 35 routes build without warnings/errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: If any step fails — fix inline, rerun**
+
+Common failures and fixes:
+- **`react-hooks/set-state-in-effect`:** ensure no `setState` appears directly in an effect body (only inside timers / event callbacks).
+- **Unused import:** delete the icon from the `lucide-react` import list.
+- **Type error in HeroButton `disabled` prop:** `MagneticButton` may not accept `disabled`. If so, replace `disabled={disabled}` with `onClick={disabled ? undefined : handleClick}` and move the `disabled` styling to classes only.
+- **motion variants type mismatch:** ensure all `motion.*` components with `variants={}` use compatible `Variants` objects.
+
+After any fix, rerun `npm run check` until clean.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Commit final polish (if fixes were needed)**
+
+```bash
+git add src/components/ui/CtaModal.tsx
+git commit -m "fix(cta): resolve build issues in hero-ribbon refactor"
+```
+
+(Skip if no fixes needed.)
+
+---
+
+## Task 14: Final handoff to user
+
+**Files:**
+- No changes — just messaging
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Report status to user**
+
+Tell the user:
+> 🟢 CtaModal перестроен по спеке. Typecheck/lint/build чисты. Dev-server уже крутится на :3000 — открывай и смотри. Логику не трогал (`copyAndLaunch`, `useCtaModal`, escape, scroll lock, AbortError, fallback — дословно те же). Если визуально что-то не так — скажи какую секцию правим.
+
+Do NOT dispatch Playwright / frontend-qa automatically — per project rule the user triggers visual QA themselves.
+

+

+| Reduced motion handling | Preserved via existing `reduceMotion` prop plumbing in Tasks 2, 3, 5 |
+| Mobile void` — matches call site.
+- `StepCard` props: `step: StepSpec, index: number, active: boolean` — `StepSpec` exists at line 31; `active` driven by `copied`.
+- `StepperConnector` props: `active: boolean` — same source.
+- `VPNOrbit` props: `reduceMotion: boolean, acknowledged: boolean` — call site passes `!!reduceMotion` and `copied`.
+- `AuroraBacklight` props: `reduceMotion: boolean` — call site passes `!!reduceMotion`.
+- `LaunchedChip` props: none.
+- `SectionDivider` props: none.
+- Imports: `MagneticButton`, `BorderTrail`, `CheckCircle2`, `ArrowRight`, `ShieldCheck`, `Wifi`, `Sparkles`, `Globe`, `Key`, `Lock`, `X` all still referenced after cleanup.
+
+### Tech-stack notes
+
+- Project has no test runner by design. Verification = typecheck + lint + build. TDD loop replaced with "write → verify → commit" per task.
+- Pre-commit hook enforces conventional commit format. All task commits use `feat/refactor/fix/style/chore(cta): ...`.
+- Project lesson `react-hooks/set-state-in-effect`: no `setState` directly in `useEffect` body in any new code. All state changes happen in event handlers (onClick) or sync-setup paths, not effect bodies.
+

+
+## Execution Handoff
+
+Plan saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-24-ctamodal-hero-ribbon.md`.
+
+Два варианта запуска:
+
+**1. Subagent-Driven (рекомендую)** — свежий subagent на каждую задачу, я ревьюю между тасками, быстрые итерации. Плюс: изоляция контекста. Минус: чуть дольше из-за переключений.
+
+**2. Inline Execution** — выполняю задачи в этой же сессии через executing-plans, батчами с чекпоинтами. Плюс: один поток, без переключений. Минус: засоряется текущий контекст.
+
+Какой вариант?

+# CtaModal — Hero + Vertical Stepper redesign (Aurora Emerald)
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-24
+**Component:** `src/components/ui/CtaModal.tsx`
+**Scope:** Windows-only install flow; visual + interaction redesign. Logic frozen.
+
+## Goal
+
+Replace the current "4 equal cards + Try Free first" layout with a clear **single-hero-action + instruction-stepper** hierarchy. The user must understand at a glance: (1) press the big button, (2) then do these 3 keystrokes in the Explorer dialog that opens. All 4 things are visible from the start; the button dominates; the 3 keystrokes read as a cheat-sheet, not as buttons.
+
+Preserve `useCtaModal`, `copyAndLaunch`, escape-to-close, body scroll lock, focus management, AbortError handling, `showOpenFilePicker` → `` fallback.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- macOS / Linux / mobile install flows.
+- `CtaModalContext` API, trigger call sites, CSS variables.
+- New dependencies. motion@12.38, lucide, shadcn (base-nova) already in stack.
+- Light mode.
+- Test infrastructure.
+- Secondary accent colors. **Pure emerald on dark. Violet is banned in this surface.** Depth comes from luminance layers, blur, and frost — not a second hue.
+
+## Design pillars (grounded in research)
+
+1. **ProtonVPN's own onboarding** uses a 2-col "decorative left + actionable right" modal. We preserve that lineage.
+2. **Premium monochrome accent** (Linear / Vercel / Apple Pro) — hierarchy from tonal elevation, not a second color. Each surface tint lifts slightly toward emerald as it gains importance.
+3. **Keyboard shortcuts as discrete chips, never prose** (VS Code, Raycast). Spatial-visual recognition beats reading.
+4. **Connector progression via opacity/color shift, not animated stroke-dashoffset.** Production premium keeps it simple; the luxury is in timing, not in SVG theatrics.
+5. **One master breathing rhythm** for the modal: 4.8s master beat. Orbit pulse-rings 4.8s. Hero glow 2.4s (phase-aligned, half-beat). Stepper cascade 150ms stagger. Aurora atmosphere 60s slow rotate. Modal feels like one organism.
+
+## Layout (900px modal, 2-column)
+
+```

+```
+
+Below `md:` breakpoint the left aside is hidden; right column goes full width. Cards restructure to stack (number + keycap top row, label + desc bottom row) if width < 400px.
+
+## Components (all inside `CtaModal.tsx`)
+
+### Preserved
+- `MeshOrbs` — behind modal, unchanged (emerald + black radial bleeds).
+- `NoiseLayer` — SVG turbulence film grain, unchanged.
+- `StatusDot` — pulsing emerald dot in header.
+- `HyperScramble` — A-Z glitch badge for variant name, unchanged.
+- `ModalShell` — widened max-w to 900px (already in place).
+
+### Reworked
+- **`VPNOrbit`** (left aside, 280px):
+ - Same structure: central ShieldCheck, 3 orbiting icons (Lock / Globe / Key), dashed orbit ring, 2 pulse rings, bottom meta "secured tunnel · wireguard · sha-256".
+ - Demoted visual: `opacity-[0.55]`, `filter: saturate(0.7)`. Reads as atmosphere, not focal element.
+ - Pulse rings re-timed to **4.8s** master beat.
+ - Adds state prop `acknowledged: boolean`. When true (copyAndLaunch succeeds): 600ms brightness flash — opacity eases to 0.9, pulse ring scale 1→1.3, then returns to calm. Purely acknowledgment; not a progress indicator.
+
+### New / replaced
+- **`HeroButton`** (replaces `TryFreeCard`):
+ - Full-width pill inside right col content, 64px tall. Label: **"Try Free"** (idle) → check-chip (post-click).
+ - Wrapped in existing `MagneticButton` (strength 0.25, radius 120px).
+ - Double border: outer `border-emerald-500/70`, inner `ring-1 ring-inset ring-emerald-400/30`.
+ - Background: `bg-gradient-to-br from-emerald-500/20 via-emerald-600/15 to-transparent`.
+ - Glow: `shadow-[0_0_40px_-8px_oklch(0.78_0.17_156/0.55)]`, pulses 2.4s ease-in-out (phase-half of orbit master beat).
+ - Conic-gradient shimmer on inner ring (shiny-button pattern), 2.4s rotation.
+ - On hover: shadow grows to `0_0_60px_-8px`, scale 1.01.
+ - On click (copyAndLaunch success): fades to `opacity-35`, `pointer-events-none`, `cursor-not-allowed`. **Stays in place.** A separate `LaunchedChip` slides in above it.
+
+- **`LaunchedChip`** (new):
+ - Small pill above HeroButton, appears after successful copyAndLaunch.
+ - Content: ` Installer launched`.
+ - Enter: `opacity 0 → 1`, `x: 12 → 0`, 220ms. Persists until modal close.
+
+- **`SectionDivider`** (new):
+ - Between hero and stepper. 40px vertical space.
+ - Content: `border-l-2 border-emerald-400/50` left bar, label **"Затем в Проводнике:"** in zinc-300 14px medium.
+ - Establishes "step 1 done → now do these" narrative.
+
+- **`StepperRail`** (replaces horizontal ribbon / old StepRow stack):
+ - Vertical list of 3 `StepCard`s, 12px gap.
+ - Between cards: 2px vertical segment line, absolute positioned in the 12px gap, `bg-white/5` dim / `bg-emerald-400/40` active. Height 16px so it visually bridges card borders.
+ - Segments activate in cascade post-copyAndLaunch with 150ms stagger.
+
+- **`StepCard`** (replaces old `StepRow`):
+ - Height 72px, full width, rounded-[16px], border.
+ - Internal grid: `[28px_1fr_auto]` columns, 16px gap, 14px padding.
+ - **Number chip** (28px circle, composed `` with `rounded-full` + inline digit "1" / "2" / "3"): border-emerald-400/40 dim with zinc-400 digit / solid emerald-400 bg with black-900 digit active. Avoid Unicode ① ② ③ (renders inconsistently across fonts).
+ - **Label column**: 14px zinc-200 title ("Open address bar") + 12px zinc-500 desc ("Focus the path input at the top").
+ - **Keycap column**: shadcn `Kbd` / `KbdGroup` — JetBrains Mono 13px. Dim zinc-400, active emerald-200.
+ - States:
+ - **Dim** (default): `bg-white/[0.01]`, `border-white/[0.05]`, text/chip/keycap muted.
+ - **Active** (post-copyAndLaunch, cascade): `bg-emerald-400/[0.05]`, `border-emerald-400/30`, chip solid, label zinc-50, keycap emerald-200.
+ - Transition: 220ms ease-out on bg/border/color. No layout shift.
+
+- **`AuroraBacklight`** (new, below modal shell content, above mesh orbs):
+ - Repeating-linear-gradient `emerald-900/20 → transparent → emerald-950/25 → transparent`.
+ - `blur-[80px]`, `opacity-30`, slow rotate 60s linear infinite.
+ - Delivers the Aurora Glass promise without introducing a second color.
+
+### Removed
+- `TryFreeCard` — absorbed into HeroButton.
+- The 01 numbering on what was step-01 (hero) — hero has no number, it's THE action. Stepper cards are ① ② ③ (not 02 03 04 anymore — they're the only numbered sequence now).
+- Old horizontal `StepRow` ribbon semantics.
+
+## Motion choreography
+
+### Master rhythm
+| Clock | Bound to |
+|-------|----------|
+| 4.8s | VPNOrbit pulse rings |
+| 2.4s | HeroButton glow pulse, inner conic shimmer |
+| 60s | AuroraBacklight rotation |
+| 20s | VPNOrbit icon orbit (unchanged) |
+| 150ms | Stepper cascade stagger |
+
+### Entrance (modal open)
+- Backdrop fade 260ms.
+- Modal shell spring `damping:24 stiffness:280`, `y:24 → 0`, `scale:0.96 → 1`, 80ms delay.
+- Right column children cascade: header 240ms · title 320ms · meta 420ms · HeroButton 520ms · SectionDivider 640ms · StepCards stagger(0.08) starting 720ms · footer 980ms. All fade+rise-8.
+- VPNOrbit: fade-in 600ms + scale 0.9→1, no delay.
+- AuroraBacklight: fade 800ms, rotation starts immediately.
+
+### Post-click (copyAndLaunch resolves successfully)
+| t (ms) | Element | Change |
+|--------|---------|--------|
+| 0 | HeroButton | opacity → 0.35, disabled |
+| 0 | VPNOrbit | brighten flash: opacity 0.55→0.9, pulse ring scale 1→1.3 |
+| 0 | LaunchedChip | mount, slide-in from x:12 |
+| 150 | StepCard ① | state → active (bg/border/text transition 220ms) |
+| 150 | Segment ①→② | bg → emerald |
+| 300 | StepCard ② + segment ②→③ | active |
+| 450 | StepCard ③ | active |
+| 600 | VPNOrbit | settle back to opacity 0.55, pulse scale 1 |
+
+No auto-reset. State persists until modal close. Reopening modal = fresh idle state.
+
+### Reduced motion
+`useReducedMotion()` gate disables: orbit icon rotation, aurora rotation, pulse rings, conic shimmer, magnetic pull, cascade stagger (instant switch to active). Entrance becomes 120ms crossfade. LaunchedChip switches instantly.
+
+## Typography & palette
+
+| Role | Value |
+|------|-------|
+| Surface base | `oklch(0.12 0.005 260)` at 70% alpha + backdrop-blur |
+| Emerald primary | `oklch(0.78 0.17 156)` (= emerald-400) |
+| Emerald deep | `oklch(0.66 0.17 156)` (= emerald-500) |
+| Text primary | `zinc-50` |
+| Text secondary | `zinc-300` / `zinc-400` |
+| Text muted / mono | `zinc-500` |
+| Border dim | `white/[0.05]` |
+| Border active | `emerald-400/30` |
+| Glow shadow | `oklch(0.78 0.17 156 / 0.55)` |
+
+- Inter: title 28px / semibold / tracking -0.03em, body 14px, small 12-13px.
+- JetBrains Mono: keycaps, file meta, SHA hash.
+- No Syncopate, no second sans, no second accent.
+
+## shadcn primitives to use (research-confirmed available)
+
+- `Button` — base for HeroButton (CVA variant extended in-file).
+- `Kbd` + `KbdGroup` — stepper keycaps.
+- `Badge` — (optional) for HyperScramble variant pill if we want to swap current custom.
+- `Separator` — (optional) footer divider.
+
+Must compose manually (no primitive):
+- Glow + conic shimmer on button.
+- Magnetic hover (already have `MagneticButton`).
+- Filling connector segments (plain div bg transitions, no SVG).
+- AuroraBacklight.
+- VPNOrbit (already custom).
+- Cascade timing (motion variants + staggerChildren).
+
+## Logic preserved (verbatim, do not touch)
+
+- `useCtaModal` hook.
+- `copyAndLaunch` — clipboard write + `showOpenFilePicker({startIn:"downloads"})` with AbortError / SecurityError / NotAllowedError early return + `` fallback via `fileInputRef.current?.click()`.
+- Escape listener, body scroll lock, focus management on open.
+- `PLATFORMS.windows` meta + `WIN_STEPS`.
+- Variant config (free / plus / business) — badge label + copy only.
+
+## Logic removed / clean up
+
+- `TryFreeCard` component definition (absorbed).
+- `revealedIndex` state (replaced by simple `copied` boolean cascading via motion variants).
+- Old horizontal ribbon styles.
+- Any leftover `useDemoSequence` / auto-demo hooks (already removed in prior iteration — confirm gone).
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. `npm run typecheck` clean.
+2. `npm run lint` clean (0 errors, 0 warnings; no `react-hooks/set-state-in-effect`).
+3. `npm run build` clean (35 routes).
+4. Visual verification (user-triggered, not auto):
+ - Modal opens, staggered reveal plays, all 4 elements (HeroButton + 3 StepCards) visible from start.
+ - HeroButton dominates; StepCards are clearly dim.
+ - Click HeroButton → file picker opens exactly once (no double).
+ - LaunchedChip appears above button, button fades to disabled state **but stays in place**.
+ - StepCards cascade in ①→②→③ with visible 150ms stagger and connector segments filling.
+ - VPNOrbit briefly brightens at t=0 and settles.
+ - `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` disables all orchestration.
+5. Viewport < md (768px): left aside hidden, content full-width, StepCards usable.
+6. A11y: HeroButton has `aria-busy="true"` while copying, StepCards have `aria-label` including label + shortcut (e.g., "Step 1: Open address bar, Ctrl+L").
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Non-Windows flows.
+- Haptics, sound.
+- SSR-safe `detectPlatform` changes.
+- Theming / light mode.
+- Analytics events.
+
+## Appendix: Absolute-grade specifications
+
+Four specialist passes locked every value. Implementation pulls from this section.
+
+### A1. Hero "Try Free" button (absolute)
+
+- Height `64px`, border-radius `120px` (full pill), `px-8 py-4`.
+- Inner layout: `flex items-center justify-center gap-2`. Label Inter 14px `font-semibold tracking-tight` "Try Free". Trailing ``; on group-hover translate-x 0.5.
+- Border stack: outer `border-2 border-emerald-500/70` + inner `ring-2 ring-inset ring-emerald-400/30`.
+- Conic shimmer on ring (2.4s linear):
+ - `conic-gradient(from var(--angle) at 50% 50%, emerald-400/0 0%, emerald-300/40 20%, emerald-400/30 50%, emerald-300/15 80%, emerald-400/0 100%)`
+ - Mask `radial-gradient(circle at 50% 50%, transparent 42%, black 48%, black 52%, transparent 58%)`.
+ - CSS var `--angle` animated 0→360deg. `background-clip: border-box`.
+- Idle shadow stack:
+ - `0 0 0 1px oklch(0.66 0.17 156 / 0.4)`
+ - `0 10px 32px -8px oklch(0.66 0.17 156 / 0.6)` — breathes blur-radius 32→40 @ 2.4s ease-in-out (phase 0, half-beat of 4.8s master).
+ - `inset 0 1px 0 oklch(1 0 0 / 0.3)`.
+- Background fill: `bg-gradient-to-b from-emerald-500/20 via-emerald-600/15 to-emerald-500/[0.05]`.
+- Hover 200ms cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1): gradient stops lift one oklch-lightness tick (`from-emerald-400 via-emerald-400/90`), shadow `0 14px 44px -6px emerald-400/70`, `scale-[1.01]`. MagneticButton strength 0.30, radius 120px, spring stiffness 150 damping 15.
+- Press 80ms ease-out: `scale-[0.98]`, shadow collapses to `0 2px 8px -2px emerald-500/40`.
+- Post-click disabled: `opacity-35`, `pointer-events-none`, `cursor-not-allowed`. Shimmer CSS animation paused. Shadow freezes at `0 0 0 1px emerald-500/40, 0 10px 32px -8px emerald/0.3` (pulse stops). Button stays in place.
+- Focus-visible: `outline-none ring-2 ring-emerald-400/70 ring-offset-2 ring-offset-[oklch(0.12_0.005_260)]`.
+- Entrance variant: `{opacity:0, y:8} → {opacity:1, y:0}`, 400ms ease `[0.16,1,0.3,1]`, delay ~520ms after shell.
+- Reduced motion: shimmer disabled, pulse disabled (shadow locked at mid value `0 8px 24px -6px emerald-400/40`), magnetic off, entrance collapses to 120ms opacity.
+- a11y: `aria-busy` while `copying`. LaunchedChip (separate sibling) uses `aria-live="polite"`.
+
+### A2. Vertical 3-card stepper (absolute)
+

+- Active state: `border border-emerald-400/30 bg-emerald-400/[0.06] opacity-100`.
+- Transition on border/bg/text/opacity: `220ms ease-out`.
+- Hover on dim (cursor-default, NOT pointer): border `white/[0.08]`, bg `white/[0.02]`, 160ms.
+- **Number chip** (28×28): `rounded-lg` (not circle — matches premium rectangular language), centered "01" / "02" / "03" in JetBrains Mono 11px, tracking-wider. Dim: `border border-white/[0.05] text-zinc-500`. Active: `border border-emerald-400/30 bg-emerald-400/15 text-emerald-200 shadow-[0_0_12px_-2px_rgb(16_185_129/0.5)]`.
+- **Label column**: title `text-[13.5px] font-medium text-zinc-100 leading-tight`. Description `text-[12px] text-zinc-500 leading-snug mt-1`.
+- **Keycap column**: shadcn `KbdGroup` with individual `Kbd` per key, `+` separator between them. `Kbd` base: `font-mono text-[11px] px-2 py-[3px] rounded-md border border-white/[0.08] bg-white/[0.02] text-zinc-400`. Active-card Kbd: `border-emerald-400/30 bg-emerald-400/10 text-emerald-200`.
+- **Connector segments** between cards (between card 1↔2 and 2↔3): `absolute left-[28px]` (aligned to chip column center), `w-[2px] h-4 -translate-y-2` positioned in 12px card gap. Dim `bg-white/[0.05]`, active `bg-emerald-400/40`. Transition 220ms.
+- **Cascade timing** (triggered at `copied === true`):
+ - Parent variants: `delayChildren: 0.15s` (initial), `staggerChildren: 0.15s`.
+ - Each card activates: border+bg+chip+keycap+text all shift together at 220ms ease-out.
+ - Concurrent **glow pulse** on activation: box-shadow `0 0 16px -8px emerald/0` → `0 0 24px -4px emerald/0.5` → `0 0 16px -8px emerald/0` over 600ms ease-out (one-shot).
+ - Connector segment fills simultaneously with the card entering active state.
+- Reduced motion: instant state switch, no pulse, no stagger. All three active at once when `copied` flips.
+- Cards NOT focusable (`tabindex` default, no role="button"). Screen-reader semantics via `/
` with `aria-label="Step 1: Open address bar, Ctrl+L"`.
+- Mobile ` + `secured tunnel` in JetBrains Mono `text-[9px] uppercase tracking-[0.22em] text-emerald-300/75`. Bottom line `wireguard · sha-256` mono `text-[8px] tracking-[0.18em] text-zinc-600`.
+- **Acknowledgment flash** (on `copied === true`, 600ms): container opacity `[0.55, 0.9, 0.55]` easeInOut. Pulse rings concurrent scale spike `1 → 1.15 → 1`. Shield plate shadow radius pump `40 → 52 → 40`.
+- Reduced motion: all animations freeze at base state. No rotation, no scale, no pulse. Visibility retained.
+
+### A4. Atmospheric layer stack (absolute)
+
+- **Page backdrop**: `fixed inset-0 bg-black/85`. NO `backdrop-filter` here (budget reserved for shell). Opacity 0→1 over 260ms on open.
+- **Mesh orbs** (2, emerald-only, inside overlay behind shell):
+ - Orb A: `absolute left-[15%] top-[12%] size-[420px] rounded-full bg-emerald-500/20 blur-[140px]`, drift 22s ease-in-out infinite `x: [0, 40, -20, 0]`, `y: [0, -28, 22, 0]`.
+ - Orb B: `absolute right-[10%] bottom-[10%] size-[380px] rounded-full bg-emerald-700/25 blur-[140px]`, drift 26s `x: [0, -30, 24, 0]`, `y: [0, 22, -18, 0]`.
+- **Modal shell**: `max-w-[900px] rounded-[26px] bg-[oklch(0.12_0.005_260)]/70 backdrop-blur-[28px] border border-white/[0.08]`.
+ - Shadow stack: `0 50px 140px -20px rgba(0,0,0,0.9)`, `0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.04)`, `inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.06)`, `0 0 60px -20px oklch(0.5 0.20 143 / 0.25)` (static outer emerald bloom).
+- **Aurora backlight** (inside shell, z-0, clipped to rounded-[26px]):
+ - `absolute inset-0 rounded-[26px] overflow-hidden pointer-events-none`. Inner child: conic-gradient `from var(--aurora-angle) at 50% 50%` with stops oklch(0.28 0.20 143) 0% / oklch(0.12 0.005 260 / 0) 33.33% / oklch(0.48 0.18 141) 66.66% / oklch(0.12 0.005 260 / 0) 100%, `filter: blur(80px)`, `opacity 0.3`, rotation 60s linear infinite.
+- **Noise overlay** (inside shell, z-10, above aurora, below content): SVG turbulence `baseFrequency="0.9" numOctaves="2" stitchTiles="stitch"` + `feColorMatrix saturate 0`, applied via `` full-size. `opacity-[0.035] mix-blend-overlay pointer-events-none`.
+- **Content grid** z-20 (header / hero / stepper / footer / aside-orbit).
+- **LaunchedChip** z-50 absolute above hero button, `rounded-full border border-emerald-400/40 bg-emerald-400/10 text-emerald-100 text-[12px] px-3 py-1 flex items-center gap-1.5` with `` + "Installer launched". Enter: `{opacity:0, x:12} → {opacity:1, x:0}`, 220ms ease-out.
+- Entrance sequence:
+ - t=0 backdrop fade 260ms.
+ - t=0 orbs fade+scale 0.85→1 over 600-700ms.
+ - t=80 shell spring `{y:24→0, scale:0.96→1, damping:24, stiffness:280}`.
+ - t=120 aurora opacity 0→0.3 over 800ms.
+ - t=120 noise opacity 0→0.035 over 400ms.
+- Reduced motion: orbs static at midpoint, aurora static at 0.3 no rotate, shell instant, noise immediate.
+- Performance budget: 1 `backdrop-blur` (shell) + 3 plain `blur()` (orb A, orb B, aurora). No `will-change` outside 120ms shell entrance window. No filters on content layer.
+
+## Risks & mitigations
+
+- **Multiple blur layers on low-end GPUs** (AuroraBacklight + modal backdrop-blur + mesh orbs blur). Mitigation: AuroraBacklight uses plain `blur()` (non backdrop-filter); only modal shell uses backdrop-blur.
+- **Conic shimmer perf on the button** — cheap CSS mask, GPU-composited. Mitigation: throttle to 2.4s, no repaints beyond transform.
+- **Magnetic pull on primary CTA** conflicts with click timing on slow devices. Mitigation: disable magnetic when reduced motion or touch input.
+- **Cascade visible through reduced motion** — verify by forcing `matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)')` in devtools.
+- **Button stays visible but disabled post-click** — new behavior; verify user doesn't attempt second click. Visual hint: `cursor-not-allowed` + 35% opacity should communicate.

+ Websites see the VPN egress IP. Your ISP sees encrypted blobs to the
+ VPN, not final destinations. DNS may be handled by the VPN resolver to
+ reduce leaks — verify with the app’s leak test tools.
