Reuse the project's conventions instead of imposing CSS Modules, Tailwind, BEM, or a new toolchain. For motion, choose no motion, native CSS, or an approved preset deliberately. + - **Verification:** Write the observable acceptance criteria and exact discovered commands before editing. Separate verified facts, inference, and unknowns.

In edit modes, add a focused failing regression where feasible, apply the smallest patch to the authorized files, and inspect its diff.

Run verified project scripts using their actual package manager and arguments, not assumed `npm test`/`lint` commands.

A build exit code is not evidence of visual correctness.

For motion also exercise disabled/missing CSS, delayed effects, cancellation, element removal, rapid repeated actions, and a preference change during playback.

[MDN interpolate-size][ref-interpolate-size] [MDN calc-size()][ref-calc-size] +The default v4 classes use the `animate__` prefix. Duration, delay, and repetition helpers use `--animate-duration`, `--animate-delay`, and `--animate-repeat`; setting the latter two variables alone does not apply a delay or repeat without matching helpers/longhands. `animate__infinite` is not bounded by `--animate-repeat`. Upstream v4.1.1 reduces durations to 1ms and iterations to one for reduced motion/print, but its base rule does not clear `animation-delay`. Do not remove upstream preference handling, and do not assume a shortened effect is equivalent to no motion.

State completion, navigation, form submission, focus, and content availability must not depend on cosmetic completion. [MDN animationend][ref-animation-end] + +When JavaScript orchestration is genuinely necessary, register listeners before starting; filter `event.target`, `event.animationName` (for example `fadeIn`, not the class `animate__fadeIn`), and pseudo-element events. Handle `animationcancel` where supported, explicit abort/unmount, absent CSS, zero motion, and a finite timeout watchdog. Settle once and remove only owned classes/listeners/timers on every path. A newer effect must not be cleaned up by an older callback; cancel/replace it under component ownership. Test preference changes during playback and rapid re-entry. Never stop propagation just to make a helper work. [MDN animationcancel][ref-animation-cancel] + +Measure the production CSS delta; importing a full stylesheet does not imply per-animation tree shaking. For a subset, use a reviewed custom build that retains required base rules, prefixes, keyframes, and preference handling; verify the final output. Safelist dynamically selected animation classes only where the actual CSS-removal tooling needs it. Do not clone mutable upstream HEAD or execute its build scripts blindly. + +For a v3-to-v4 migration, inventory legacy `animated`/effect classes, imports, helpers, and keyframe references; migrate one owned component at a time and test it. Do not load prefixed and compatibility builds together or rename unrelated classes globally. Roll back this task's import, manifest, lockfile, and class changes as one unit. This skill adds references only; it does not install or vendor Animate.css. + +## Disclosure: semantics before interpolation + +A collapsed grid row or `overflow: hidden` does not by itself remove links/controls from keyboard focus.
