+        `BAR_STAGGER_MS = 80` in DistributionChart,

+       per-cell / per-bar cascade across consumer surfaces reads at one
+       of three named tiers.
+
+       The three tiers are perceptually distinct registers:
+         • tight (40ms) — dense row cascades where the gap between
+           consecutive reveals should be sub-perceptual (StatsCards row
+           strip, results-table rows under their `:nth-child(N+1)` delays)
+         • default (80ms) — the canonical row-stagger rhythm (the
+           speedtest ResultStack row-tint sweep, the DistributionChart
+           bar entrance — both already at 80ms). Aliased as `default`
+           to match `useStagger`'s built-in fallback so consumers
+           omitting `delayMs` resolve to the same token.
+         • relaxed (120ms) — wider cascades where each reveal carries
+           its own attention budget (TimeSeriesChart series entrance)
+
+       The FD2 §6 rule-1 "shared period multiple" canon for ambient
+       cycles extends here to staggers: at 40/80/120ms, the default
+       (80ms) is the LCM of tight (40) AND a 2/3 of relaxed (120)
+       — a tight cascade beating against a default cascade syncs on
+       every-other-reveal, and a default cascade against a relaxed
+       cascade syncs on every-three-reveals. Consumers that nest
+       multiple cascades on adjacent surfaces should pick adjacent
+       tiers so the cross-beats stay quiet.
+
+       Consumers can read these tokens directly from inline-style
+       calc() expressions (`animation-delay: calc(var(--motion-stagger-default) * var(--row-index))`)
+       or via JS by resolving the CSS custom property at runtime
+       (`getComputedStyle(document.documentElement).getPropertyValue('--motion-stagger-default')`).
+       The latter shape collapses the speedtest TS-side constants
+       (SERIES_STAGGER_MS, BAR_STAGGER_MS, STATS_CARD_STAGGER_MS) into
+       single-source token reads. */

+       §2  EASING — Spring curves via linear()
+
+       Generated from `scripts/regen-spring-tokens.mjs` — DO NOT hand-edit.
+       To tune a spring: edit the PRESETS table in the script and re-run
+       `node scripts/regen-spring-tokens.mjs`. The script invokes
+       `springLinearStops()` from `@mkbabb/keyframes.js` which solves the
+       analytic second-order damped harmonic oscillator and emits CSS
+       `linear()` stops; this is the single source of truth tying each
+       (response, ζ) pair to its serialized curve.
+
+       iOS-canonical (response, dampingFraction) per AL-X4 §3:
+         smooth: (0.50s, ζ=0.86)  — gentle settle, sub-perceptual overshoot ~0.5%
+         snappy: (0.35s, ζ=0.85)  — quick crisp, micro-overshoot
+         bouncy: (0.50s, ζ=0.65)  — emphatic overshoot ~7%
+         gentle: (0.70s, ζ=1.00)  — patient critically-damped
+
+       Note on `smooth`: at ζ=0.86 the analytic solver produces a peak
+       of 1.00498 (+0.5%) at the 24% slot — mathematically present but
+       sub-perceptual. I keep ζ=0.86 rather than promoting to ζ=1.0
+       because true critical damping is `gentle`'s register, and
+       `smooth` wants a slightly faster visual settle than `gentle`'s
+       patient curve. The 0.5% peak does not read as overshoot to the
+       eye but does narrowly distinguish `smooth` from `gentle`.

+       (publisher-side; consumer-side companions live in speedtest)
+
+       Three idiom families compose the W4 wave:
+
+       • Progress lifecycle (M.1) — the under-meter / survey progress bar
+         rides an intake pulse on rising-edge, a crescendo brightening at
+         ≥85%, and a one-shot discharge flash at 100%. The crescendo is a
+         typed CSS variable (`@property --progress-crescendo`) so the
+         indicator's leading-edge gradient stop interpolates smoothly.
+
+       • Chassis phase-tint companion (M.1) — the `--phase-color` cross-
+         fade established by the chassis cascade gains an amount companion
+         (`@property --phase-tint-amount`) so the chassis backdrop "warms
+         toward" the active phase. Both typed vars interpolate together
+         across the speedtest-owned `--motion-duration-phase-handoff`
+         window; the chassis reads the consumer-tuned clock with a safe
+         600ms default so a non-speedtest consumer still gets the cross-
+         fade shape.
+
+       • Audacious button press-ripple (M.2 Q5 — ratified G-AI-D27) — the
+         `btn-audacious` utility gains an in-place `@property --ripple-
+         radius` ripple emanating from the pressed surface. Single typed
+         length, ramps 0 → max over the ripple duration, retires on
+         release. Q3 (needle micro-jitter) + Q4 (DockLayerGroup sympath-
+         etic motion) were pruned at G-AI-D27 — no tokens reserved.
+
+       All three families coexist with the existing `--motion-*` /
+       `--phase-*` cluster. Speedtest re-uses these tokens at the existing
+       --motion-duration-phase-handoff (consumer-side, 600ms). PRM brackets
+       live alongside each consumer rule. */

+   §18 TYPED CSS PROPERTIES — Houdini @property registrations
+   (AI.W4 grammar — adjacent to §2.C tokens above)
+
+   Three typed custom properties register with the CSS Houdini @property
+   API so transitions interpolate VALUES (percentage / length) rather
+   than the textual representation. Unregistered fallback is safe — the
+   `initial-value` provides a sensible default for any consumer that
+   imports this stylesheet on a browser that doesn't yet support the
+   typed @property registration (the cross-fade collapses to the
+   initial value, then re-paints at the new state).
+
+   Browser support: Chromium 85+, Safari 16.4+, Firefox 128+. The
+   speedtest deployment target sits well within the floor.
+
+   • --progress-crescendo (percentage) — the leading-edge brightness
+     ramp on `<Progress variant="gradient">` past 85% modelValue.
+     `inherits: false` because the value is consumed at one
+     declaration only (the gradient stop calculation); inheriting
+     would let an unrelated ancestor accidentally drive a sibling
+     progress bar.
+
+   • --phase-tint-amount (percentage) — the chassis depth-of-tint
+     companion to `--phase-color`. `inherits: true` because the
+     value cascades from the chassis root through every region
+     wrapper that reads it for a sympathetic tint (matches the
+     `--phase-color` inheritance pattern).
+
+   • --ripple-radius (length) — the `btn-audacious` press ripple
+     radial. `inherits: false` because each button owns its own
+     ripple state (a hovered parent must not push a ripple-radius
+     onto a non-pressed child).
