438ce3cfbc feat(video): v10 hero video with mute toggle — voice + bg music
All checks were successful
Deploy to Production / deploy (push) Successful in 1m6s
Ships the long-form (71.5 s) hero video to the marketing /flow section
along with the iteration trail of architectural visual fixes the owner
worked through over the last sprint.

## Video composition (remotion/)

Eight phases driven by the 71.47 s voice-over in `audio.mp3` plus the
`Sub-bass Lullaby.wav` background music (ducked to 0.16 with fade in /
fade out). Every scene was rebuilt for v10 with concrete fixes:

- **HookScene** (12 s) — adds FloatingChaos overlay: a docker-compose
  excerpt, an oauth_callback.ts snippet, an .env file with a yellow
  squiggle warning ("in git history since v0.3.1"), and a live-ticking
  502 retry toast. Tangle now reads as a developer's desktop right
  before they give up, not as four icons drifting.

- **PromptScene** (12.2 s) — 6.5 s post-typing dead-zone replaced with
  the parse beat: three sequential highlights on the prompt text
  (MCP server / searches / Notion workspace), three chips below the
  input (intent / tool / secret → vault), three-stat summary panel
  (tools · 2, secrets · 1, targets · 3). At local frame 250 (≈ 21 s
  global, on the voice line "the prompt path and the secret path
  never cross") a mini two-rail diagram with an explicit X-marker
  ring lands, visualising the architectural promise the moment it's
  spoken.

- **SecretsScene** (15.2 s) — kept the arrow-fork + AES-256 stamp +
  env-var injection beats; added the lock-snap flash at frame 66,
  pinned the vault at full opacity throughout, and added a dashed
  vault → container connector so the secret's provenance is visible.
  The "what the AI sees" panel is now 680 px wide with an eye icon,
  four corner viewfinder brackets around the prompt text, and three
  explicit denied lines (no secrets / no environment variables / no
  tokens).

- **BuildScene** (7.2 s) — unchanged beats: streaming log, server
  card emerges with code + 🔒 NOTION_API_KEY slot pills, isolated-
  container caption, <60s countdown.

- **IsolationScene** (14 s) — completely restructured. Orbit-and-dock
  chips that collided with the card and with the tokens-only badge
  are replaced by a clean vertical chip column at x=760: read-only
  filesystem · dropped capabilities · no new privileges · 512 MB
  memory cap · 0.5 CPU limit · ✓ your token only (last in green).
  A vault graphic now sits below the server card with a dashed arrow
  up into its env slot so the architecture story is complete in one
  frame. PKCE jargon removed: "OAuth 2.1 · PKCE" → "only your token
  gets in" with a small "oauth 2.1 · proof-key flow" subtitle for
  the curious. Handshake stages simplified to your client → verified
  → scoped token. Final settlement arrow in success-green curves
  from the scoped-token pill back into the card.

- **LibraryScene** (7 s) — cards enlarged from 340×180 to 400×220
  with 36 px gaps. The "templates carry code, not credentials"
  sub-caption was pulled (felt on-the-nose; the detached lock and
  empty NOTION_API_KEY=? slot carry the story visually).

- **DiscoveryScene** (3 s) — the most-iterated scene. Earlier
  versions had a fake "1,200+ developers building" fork counter
  (pulled — solo-founder, hadn't earned). Replaced with a two-lane
  architecture diagram that visualises "no paths cross" literally:
  top lane prompt → AI → code, bottom lane vault → encrypted →
  env, both converging at the server box on the right. v10
  refinements: all seven boxes visible from frame 0 (no late
  server arrival), a parallel glow tour walks across both lanes
  simultaneously, a dashed vertical divider with a "no shared
  node" chip pinned in the middle, and the closing line "One
  sentence in. Live server out." slides down from above and lands
  centred while the diagram fades to 0.12 opacity behind it —
  no overlap.

- **LogoLockup** (1.7 s) — wordmark + fade-to-black for a clean
  loop seam.

The Subtitle / CAPTIONS layer added in v7 was pulled wholesale —
owner found the kinetic-typography overlay aggressive and noted
that technical terms (PKCE etc.) created friction with no payoff.
Scene visuals and voice now carry the whole story; the Subtitle
component file is retained for possible future use.

Render pipeline (`render:mp4` / `render:webm` / `render:poster` in
remotion/package.json) is unchanged. The MP4 is post-processed to
H.264 Main / yuv420p / TV-range with faststart + AAC audio. The
WebM is re-encoded at VP9 CRF 38 / Opus 64k to stay under the 3 MB
budget. Final artefacts in apps/web/public/videos/: 2.59 MB mp4,
2.99 MB webm, 62 KB poster.

## Web integration (apps/web/components/hero-video.tsx)

New client component wraps the <video> element and pins a frosted-
glass mute toggle bottom-right of the player. Why not native
`controls`: the browser chrome fights the section's design vocabulary
and we only need one affordance — unmute — so we render exactly
that. The toggle's icon flips between VolumeX (currently muted) and
Volume2 (currently unmuted), accent colour switches indigo when sound
is on. Initial state is muted so autoplay still fires; on unmute we
call .play() defensively because mobile Safari pauses on
muted-property changes mid-playback.

6197ee7f5e feat: particle cloud (no discrete dots) + geo-IP country preselect on login
All checks were successful
Deploy to Production / deploy (push) Successful in 1m1s
Two coordinated polish moves the owner asked for.

## 1. Hero particle field — "no white dots, just a glow that follows the mouse and is always in motion"

Previous tuning (uPointSize 2.8, uBaseAlpha 0.6) gave discrete indigo
dots that additively saturated to near-white in dense clusters. The
owner wanted no granular dots visible at all — a continuous indigo
cloud that the cursor pulls toward itself.

Changes:

- **Render fragment**: replaced the anti-aliased disc SDF
  (`smoothstep(0.5, 0.42, d)` — hard edge) with a Gaussian falloff
  (`exp(-d * d * 6.0)` — smooth blob, no edge). Each particle is now
  a soft volume that blends seamlessly with neighbours.

- **Sim fragment**: replaced the outward-gradient ring push with a
  mouse-halo attraction. Particles drift toward an ideal radius
  (~0.20) around the cursor, with exp-bell falloff so they don't
  collapse onto the cursor or feel influenced from across the canvas.
  `ringField()` helper is now unused but kept for future use.

- **JS uniforms**: `uPointSize` 2.8→14 (256-tier) / 3.6→20 (128-tier);
  `uBaseAlpha` 0.6→0.055. Individual particles are below the
  perception threshold for "dot" but 65k of them additively composite
  into a continuous cloud. With the much lower per-particle alpha,
  the cumulative brightness never saturates to white.

- **ParticleField tick loop**: asymmetric ring-active fade — `alpha
  = 0.14` ramping in (fast cursor response), `0.012` decaying out
  (slow glow trail after the pointer moves away). Matches the brief
  "glow longer + attractive to mouse but always in motion".

- **ParticleHero index.tsx**: added an always-on indigo radial
  gradient behind the WebGL canvas, so the hero never reads as
  visually empty between frames — the canvas additively paints the
  dynamic cloud on top. Removed the white-dot stipple from the
  static fallback (it was the most likely source of the "weisse
  punkte" complaint for any visitor on the fallback path).

## 2. SMS login — pre-select country picker from visitor's geo-IP

The country picker on `/login` previously defaulted to `'CH'` for
everyone. Visitors from DE / AT / US / etc. had to manually scroll
to their dial code — small friction but it sits on the highest-stakes
conversion step in the funnel.

- **New API route** `apps/api/src/routes/geo.ts` →
  `GET /v1/geo/country` returns `{ country: 'CH' | 'DE' | … | null }`
  by reading Cloudflare's `CF-IPCountry` header. Public, no auth —
  reading a 2-letter country code from a geo-IP header isn't PII
  under GDPR / DSG. `'XX'` and `'T1'` (CF's "unknown" + Tor) are
  normalised to `null`. Outside CF (dev), header is missing → null.

- **Login page** picks up the result in the existing `useEffect`,
  guards against codes not in our country list, and calls `setCountry`
  to override the `'CH'` default. Stays at `'CH'` if the detection
  fails or the visitor is on a Tor exit. Verified live: the endpoint
  returns `{"country":"DE"}` from CF's German edge.

035e55f00c feat(web): mobile-fit hero tiles + voluminous calmer particle field + FAQ accordion
All checks were successful
Deploy to Production / deploy (push) Successful in 1m2s
Three coordinated polish items requested:

1. **Hero step-rotator tiles fit mobile without horizontal scroll.**
   The previous snippets contained a 50+ char `Live at https://notion-x9.mcp.buildmymcpserver.com` URL that overflowed the ~295 px text area on a 375 px viewport. Rewrote all three snippets to be naturally short — same product story, no full URLs. The <pre> drops `overflow-x-auto` and gains `whitespace-pre-wrap break-words` so any token that does exceed the column wraps gracefully instead of forcing a scrollbar.

2. **ParticleHero — more volumetric, slower, steadier at load-in.**
   The "stuttery / too fast" feedback came from two issues compounding: tiny dots (1.8 px on 256-tier, with 0.42 base alpha) gave the eye too few pixels to track between frames, so individual particles read as snapping rather than drifting; and the simplex-noise drift evolved at 0.08 time-scale with 0.045 velocity, fast enough that frame-to-frame deltas exceeded a tracked particle's diameter.

   Render uniforms tuned:
   - `uPointSize` 1.8 → 2.8 (256-tier), 2.4 → 3.6 (128-tier)
   - `uBaseAlpha` 0.42 → 0.60

   Simulation shader tuned:
   - Drift noise time scale 0.08 → 0.045 (the most impactful single change — particles now move at half the previous speed)
   - Drift velocity magnitude 0.045 → 0.028
   - Ring breathing noise time scale 0.35 → 0.22
   - Ring polar-wave time scales 1.2 / 0.7 → 0.7 / 0.42

   Net effect: same number of particles (65k) but each individually larger, brighter, and moving more slowly. The cumulative additive bloom is denser without the jitter that read as visual stutter.

3. **FAQ collapsed into a native `<details>` accordion.**
   Crawlers and screen readers still see every Q+A in the SSR'd HTML — `<details><summary>...</summary><p>answer</p></details>` is the standard semantic pattern for disclosure widgets. Users see one question at a time and expand on demand, which keeps the page from feeling like an endless wall of marketing text below the fold.

   Container narrowed `max-w-6xl` → `max-w-3xl` for accordion typography (long-form prose reads better single-column). The default WebKit disclosure-triangle marker is suppressed with `list-none` + `[&_summary::-webkit-details-marker]:hidden`, and a `lucide-react` `ChevronDown` icon rotates 180° via `group-open:rotate-180` to indicate state.
