-/* The breath: a pre-painted radial animating OPACITY only, never colours, so the

-   background task runs (the battery reason the dot's glow overlay records).
-
-   PLUS A MASK, which is the one thing a ring needs and a disc does not, and whose
-   absence was a real defect rather than a missing nicety. Over a solid disc the
-   overlay's bright core has almost no headroom above its own backdrop; over a
-   ring's transparent HOLE it has all of it, so an unmasked core FILLED the hole at
-   the peak and the mark rendered as a solid rounded square. That is the one thing
-   this element may never be: the mark and the activity dot 8px away share their ink
-   at zero hue distance, so the ring-against-disc silhouette is the entire WCAG
-   1.4.1 channel between them, and a fill collapses it for the brightest third of
-   every cycle. Masked, the beat lights the BAND and the hole's four corners, so
-   what a reader sees is the hole morphing between a square and the circle inscribed
-   in it — the ring survives the peak.
-
-   EVERY NUMBER HERE IS A RELATION, and the port that copied marotte's LITERALS is
-   what left this rule running with nothing visible to show. Two of them were
-   arithmetic for an 8px mark with a 2px band: `inset: -1px` put the overlay on that
-   mark's own border box, and the core stop `70%` is where the core reaches the
-   hole's CORNER there — sqrt(2) * (size / 2 - band) / (size / 2) = 70.71%. At 9px
-   and 2px the same relation is 78.57%, so the copied 70% ended the solid core at
-   2.45px while the mask opens only at 2.5px: core and visible mask did not
-   intersect at all, the beat lit nothing the mask kept, and 4 pixels of a 9x9 mark
-   moved between trough and peak against marotte's 20 (measured at dpr 1, both
-   marks, sRGB). Written as relations they survive any size: the inset IS the band,
-   the core stop IS the hole's corner radius, the mask's hole IS its inradius. So
-   port marotte's `.tab-run-dot` (`12-tabs.css`, "THE GLOW BEAT") — the same mark
-   solving the same problem, with the mask from the start — by its relations, never
-   by its numbers. sqrt(2) is spelled to four decimals because the synced stylelint
-   sets `number-max-precision: 4` outside colour functions.
-
-   NOTHING HERE EXTENDS PAST THE MARK. `box-sizing: border-box` (01-scope.css) puts
-   the padding box — an absolutely positioned child's containing block — INSIDE the
-   band, so `inset: calc(-1 * var(--wt-mark-band))` grows the overlay back out to
-   exactly the mark's own border box and no further. Read it as "fill the mark", not
-   as "overhang it": a larger inset would reach outside, where a feathered edge's
-   visible radius moves with the beat and renders differently at every pixel
-   density. `border-radius: 50%` is the same discipline on the last literal, and it
-   is inert BY CONSTRUCTION rather than by measurement, which is why no assertion
-   pins it: for side S and radius r the clip's 45° boundary is (S/2 - r) * sqrt(2) + r,
-   monotonically decreasing in r, so the inscribed circle is the WORST case for
-   reaching the hole's corners — and it still clears them for any band at or above
-   S/2 * (1 - 1/sqrt(2)), 1.32px here against 2px. Do not assert it, and do not drop
-   it either: it is what keeps a literal radius out of a rule whose whole defect was
-   literals. */
