-## Triage Workflow
-
-### Step 1: Identify the animation category
-
-| Category | API | When to use |
-|---|---|---|
-| State-driven | `withAnimation`, `.animation(_:body:)`, `.animation(_:value:)` | Explicit state changes, selective modifier animation, or simple value-bound changes |
-| Multi-phase | `PhaseAnimator` | Sequenced multi-step animations |
-| Keyframe | `KeyframeAnimator` | Complex multi-property choreography |
-| Shared element | `matchedGeometryEffect` | Layout-driven hero transitions |
-| Navigation | `matchedTransitionSource` + `.navigationTransition(.zoom)` | NavigationStack push/pop zoom |
-| View lifecycle | `.transition()` | Insertion and removal |
-| Text content | `.contentTransition()` | In-place text/number changes |
-| Symbol | `.symbolEffect()` | SF Symbol animations |
-| Custom | `CustomAnimation` protocol | Novel timing curves |
-
-### Step 2: Choose the animation curve
+How to get timing, transitions and accessibility right with the current
+animation APIs. Examples assume iOS 26 and Swift 6.3; sections name the
+release an API first shipped in.
 
-```swift
-// Timing curves
-.linear                              // constant speed
-.easeIn(duration: 0.3)              // slow start
-.easeOut(duration: 0.3)             // slow end
-.easeInOut(duration: 0.3)           // slow start and end
-
-// Spring presets (preferred for natural motion)
-.smooth                              // no bounce, fluid
-.smooth(duration: 0.5, extraBounce: 0.0)
-.snappy                              // small bounce, responsive
-.snappy(duration: 0.4, extraBounce: 0.1)
-.bouncy                              // visible bounce, playful
-.bouncy(duration: 0.5, extraBounce: 0.2)
-
-// Custom spring
-.spring(duration: 0.5, bounce: 0.3, blendDuration: 0.0)
-.spring(Spring(duration: 0.6, bounce: 0.2), blendDuration: 0.0)
-.interactiveSpring(response: 0.15, dampingFraction: 0.86)
-```
+## Triage
 
-### Step 3: Apply and verify
+### 1. Pick the tool for the job
 
-- Confirm animation triggers on the correct state change.
-- Test with Accessibility > Reduce Motion enabled.
-- Verify no expensive work runs inside animation content closures.
+| What moves | API |
+|---|---|
+| A state change you trigger, a few modifiers, or one value | `withAnimation`; `.animation(_:value:)`; `.animation(_:body:)` |
+| A sequence of distinct steps | `PhaseAnimator` |
+| Several properties on independent timelines | `KeyframeAnimator` |
+| A shared element between two layouts | `matchedGeometryEffect` |
+| A push or pop in `NavigationStack` that grows from a tile | `matchedTransitionSource` + `.navigationTransition(.zoom)` |
+| A view being inserted or removed | `.transition()` |
+| Text, numbers or a symbol changing in place | `.contentTransition()` |
+| An SF Symbol reacting | `.symbolEffect()` |
+| A timing curve no built-in covers | `CustomAnimation` |
 
-## withAnimation (Explicit Animation)
+### 2. Pick the curve
+
+Timing curves suit mechanical motion:
 
 ```swift
-withAnimation(.spring) { isExpanded.toggle() }
+.linear                     // constant speed
+.easeIn(duration: 0.3)      // starts slow
+.easeOut(duration: 0.3)     // ends slow
+.easeInOut(duration: 0.3)   // slow at both ends
+```
 
-// With completion (iOS 17+)
-withAnimation(.smooth(duration: 0.35), completionCriteria: .logicallyComplete) {
-    isExpanded = true
-} completion: { loadContent() }
+Springs feel physical and are the better default for anything a person
+touches or watches:
+
+```swift
+.smooth                                   // settles with no overshoot
+.smooth(duration: 0.6)
+.snappy                                   // quick, a hint of bounce
+.snappy(duration: 0.3, extraBounce: 0.05)
+.bouncy                                   // noticeable, playful overshoot
+.bouncy(duration: 0.6, extraBounce: 0.1)
+
+.spring(duration: 0.45, bounce: 0.25, blendDuration: 0.1)
+.spring(Spring(duration: 0.7, bounce: 0.15), blendDuration: 0.2)
+.interactiveSpring(response: 0.2, dampingFraction: 0.8)
 ```
 
-## Implicit Animation
+### 3. Apply, then check
+
+- It fires on the state change you meant, and only that one.
+- It still makes sense with Settings > Accessibility > Motion > Reduce Motion
+  on.
+- Closures that run per frame do no expensive work.
 
-Prefer `.animation(_:body:)` when only specific modifiers should animate.
-Use `.animation(_:value:)` for simple value-bound changes that can animate the
-view's animatable modifiers together.
+## Explicit animation
+
+Wrap the mutation, not the view:
 
 ```swift
-Badge()
-    .foregroundStyle(isActive ? .green : .secondary)
-    .animation(.snappy) { content in
-        content
-            .scaleEffect(isActive ? 1.15 : 1.0)
-            .opacity(isActive ? 1.0 : 0.7)
-    }
+Button("Details") {
+    withAnimation(.spring) { showsDetails.toggle() }
+}
 ```
 
+From iOS 17, a completion runs when the animation is done:
+
 ```swift
-Circle()
-    .scaleEffect(isActive ? 1.2 : 1.0)
-    .opacity(isActive ? 1.0 : 0.6)
-    .animation(.bouncy, value: isActive)
+withAnimation(.smooth(duration: 0.4), completionCriteria: .logicallyComplete) {
+    drawerOpen = true
+} completion: {
+    loadDrawerContents()
+}
 ```
 
-## Spring Type (iOS 17+)
+## Implicit animation
 
-Four initializer forms for different mental models.
+- `.animation(_:body:)` (iOS 17) animates only the modifiers inside its body.
+  Prefer it when some modifiers should move and others should not.
+- `.animation(_:value:)` animates every animatable modifier on the view when
+  `value` changes. Fine when one value drives everything.
 
 ```swift
-// Perceptual (preferred)
-Spring(duration: 0.5, bounce: 0.3)
+Image(systemName: "heart.fill")
+    .foregroundStyle(isFavorite ? .pink : .gray)        // changes instantly
+    .animation(.snappy) { content in
+        content
+            .scaleEffect(isFavorite ? 1.25 : 1)
+            .opacity(isFavorite ? 1 : 0.6)
+    }
+
+RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8)
+    .scaleEffect(isRecording ? 1.1 : 1)
+    .opacity(isRecording ? 1 : 0.5)
+    .animation(.bouncy, value: isRecording)
+```
 
-// Physical
-Spring(mass: 1.0, stiffness: 100.0, damping: 10.0)
+## Spring (iOS 17+)
 
-// Response-based
-Spring(response: 0.5, dampingRatio: 0.7)
+`Spring` describes the physics on its own, so the same spring can drive
+`Animation`, `CASpringAnimation` or your own math. Four ways to build one:
 
-// Settling-based
-Spring(settlingDuration: 1.0, dampingRatio: 0.8)
+```swift
+Spring(duration: 0.4, bounce: 0.2)                 // perceptual: preferred
+Spring(mass: 2.0, stiffness: 150.0, damping: 18.0) // physical
+Spring(response: 0.4, dampingRatio: 0.75)          // response-based
+Spring(settlingDuration: 0.9, dampingRatio: 0.85)  // settling-based
 ```
 
-Three presets mirror Animation presets: `.smooth`, `.snappy`, `.bouncy`.
+It has the same three presets as `Animation`: `.smooth`, `.snappy`, `.bouncy`.
 
 ## PhaseAnimator (iOS 17+)
 
-Cycle through discrete phases with per-phase animation curves.
+Steps through a list of phases, with a separate curve for each step.
 
 ```swift
-enum PulsePhase: CaseIterable {
-    case idle, grow, shrink
-}
-
-struct PulsingDot: View {
-    var body: some View {
-        PhaseAnimator(PulsePhase.allCases) { phase in
-            Circle()
-                .frame(width: 40, height: 40)
-                .scaleEffect(phase == .grow ? 1.4 : 1.0)
-                .opacity(phase == .shrink ? 0.5 : 1.0)
-        } animation: { phase in
-            switch phase {
-            case .idle: .easeIn(duration: 0.2)
-            case .grow: .spring(duration: 0.4, bounce: 0.3)
-            case .shrink: .easeOut(duration: 0.3)
-            }
-        }
+enum Nudge: CaseIterable { case rest, lift, drop }
+
+PhaseAnimator(Nudge.allCases) { phase in
+    Image(systemName: "bell.fill")
+        .scaleEffect(phase == .lift ? 1.3 : 1)
+        .opacity(phase == .drop ? 0.7 : 1)
+} animation: { phase in
+    switch phase {
+    case .rest: .easeIn(duration: 0.2)
+    case .lift: .spring(duration: 0.35, bounce: 0.45)
+    case .drop: .easeOut(duration: 0.25)
     }
 }
 ```
 
-Trigger-based variant runs one cycle per trigger change:
-
-```swift
-PhaseAnimator(PulsePhase.allCases, trigger: tapCount) { phase in
-    // ...
-} animation: { _ in .spring(duration: 0.4) }
-```
+With no trigger it loops forever. `PhaseAnimator(_:trigger:content:animation:)`
+plays the phases once each time `trigger` changes.
 
 ## KeyframeAnimator (iOS 17+)
 
-Animate multiple properties along independent timelines.
+Gives each property its own timeline.
 
 ```swift
-struct AnimValues {
-    var scale: Double = 1.0
-    var yOffset: Double = 0.0
-    var opacity: Double = 1.0
+struct HopValues {
+    var scale = 1.0
+    var lift = 0.0
+    var opacity = 1.0
 }
 
-struct BounceView: View {
-    @State private var trigger = false
-
-    var body: some View {
-        Button { trigger.toggle() } label: {
-            Image(systemName: "star.fill")
-                .font(.largeTitle)
-                .keyframeAnimator(
-                    initialValue: AnimValues(),
-                    trigger: trigger
-                ) { content, value in
-                    content
-                        .scaleEffect(value.scale)
-                        .offset(y: value.yOffset)
-                        .opacity(value.opacity)
-                } keyframes: { _ in
-                    KeyframeTrack(\.scale) {
-                        SpringKeyframe(1.5, duration: 0.3)
-                        CubicKeyframe(1.0, duration: 0.4)
-                    }
-                    KeyframeTrack(\.yOffset) {
-                        CubicKeyframe(-30, duration: 0.2)
-                        CubicKeyframe(0, duration: 0.4)
-                    }
-                    KeyframeTrack(\.opacity) {
-                        LinearKeyframe(0.6, duration: 0.15)
-                        LinearKeyframe(1.0, duration: 0.25)
-                    }
-                }
+Button { hops.toggle() } label: {
+    Image(systemName: "hare.fill")
+        .keyframeAnimator(initialValue: HopValues(), trigger: hops) { view, value in
+            view
+                .scaleEffect(value.scale)
+                .offset(y: value.lift)
+                .opacity(value.opacity)
+        } keyframes: { _ in
+            KeyframeTrack(\.lift) {
+                SpringKeyframe(-40, duration: 0.25)
+                CubicKeyframe(0, duration: 0.3)
+            }
+            KeyframeTrack(\.scale) {
+                LinearKeyframe(1.15, duration: 0.2)
+                SpringKeyframe(1.0, duration: 0.35)
+            }
+            KeyframeTrack(\.opacity) {
+                CubicKeyframe(0.8, duration: 0.2)
+                CubicKeyframe(1.0, duration: 0.35)
+            }
         }
-        .buttonStyle(.plain)
-    }
 }
+.buttonStyle(.plain)
 ```
 
-Keyframe types: `LinearKeyframe` (linear), `CubicKeyframe` (smooth curve),
-`SpringKeyframe` (spring physics), `MoveKeyframe` (instant jump).
+| Keyframe | Interpolation |
+|---|---|
+| `LinearKeyframe` | straight line |
+| `CubicKeyframe` | smooth cubic curve |
+| `SpringKeyframe` | spring physics |
+| `MoveKeyframe` | jumps instantly |
 
-Use `repeating: true` for looping keyframe animations.
+`KeyframeAnimator(initialValue:repeating: true)` loops the whole sequence.
 
-## `@Animatable` Macro
+## @Animatable (Xcode 26 SDK)
 
-Replaces manual `AnimatableData` boilerplate. Attach to any type with
-animatable stored properties.
+The `@Animatable` macro writes the `animatableData` conformance for you.
+Attach it to a type whose stored properties should interpolate. It ships with
+the iOS 26 SDK but is declared available from iOS 13, so it also works in apps
+that deploy to older releases.
 
 ```swift
-// Replaces manual AnimatableData boilerplate
 @Animatable
-struct WaveShape: Shape {
-    var frequency: Double
-    var amplitude: Double
-    var phase: Double
-    @AnimatableIgnored var lineWidth: CGFloat
+struct RippleLine: Shape {
+    var wavelength: Double
+    var height: Double
+    var shift: Double
+    @AnimatableIgnored var strokeWidth: Double
 
     func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
-        // draw wave using frequency, amplitude, phase
+        let samples = stride(from: rect.minX, through: rect.maxX, by: 2).map { x in
+            CGPoint(x: x, y: rect.midY + sin(x / wavelength + shift) * height)
+        }
+        return Path { $0.addLines(samples) }
     }
 }
 ```
 
-Rules:
-- Stored properties must conform to `VectorArithmetic`.
-- Use `@AnimatableIgnored` to exclude non-animatable properties.
-- Computed properties are never included.
+- Every animated stored property must conform to `VectorArithmetic`.
+- `@AnimatableIgnored` keeps a stored property out of the animation.
+- Computed properties are never part of the animatable data.
 
 ## matchedGeometryEffect (iOS 14+)
 
-Synchronize geometry between views for shared-element animations.
+Links the geometry of two views so one appears to become the other. Needs a
+`@Namespace`.
 
 ```swift
-struct HeroView: View {
-    @Namespace private var heroSpace
-    @State private var isExpanded = false
-
-    var body: some View {
-        Group {
-            if isExpanded {
-                Button {
-                    withAnimation(.spring(duration: 0.4, bounce: 0.2)) {
-                        isExpanded = false
-                    }
-                } label: {
-                    DetailCard()
-                        .matchedGeometryEffect(id: "card", in: heroSpace)
-                }
-            } else {
-                Button {
-                    withAnimation(.spring(duration: 0.4, bounce: 0.2)) {
-                        isExpanded = true
-                    }
-                } label: {
-                    ThumbnailCard()
-                        .matchedGeometryEffect(id: "card", in: heroSpace)
-                }
-            }
+@Namespace private var photoSpace
+@State private var enlarged = false
+
+var body: some View {
+    let morph = Animation.spring(duration: 0.45, bounce: 0.15)
+    if enlarged {
+        Button { withAnimation(morph) { enlarged = false } } label: {
+            PhotoDetail(photo: photo)
+                .matchedGeometryEffect(id: photo.id, in: photoSpace)
+        }
+        .buttonStyle(.plain)
+    } else {
+        Button { withAnimation(morph) { enlarged = true } } label: {
+            PhotoThumbnail(photo: photo)
+                .matchedGeometryEffect(id: photo.id, in: photoSpace)
         }
         .buttonStyle(.plain)
     }
 }
 ```
 
-Exactly one view per ID must be visible at a time for the interpolation to work.
+At any instant only one view per id may be visible, or the interpolation has
+nothing single to follow.
 
-## Navigation Zoom Transition (iOS 18+)
+## Navigation zoom (iOS 18+)
 
-Pair `matchedTransitionSource` on the source view with
-`.navigationTransition(.zoom(...))` on the destination.

+nested inside it.
 
-## Transitions (iOS 17+)
+## Transitions
 
-Control how views animate on insertion and removal.
+`.transition()` describes how a view enters and leaves:
 
 ```swift
-if showBanner {
-    BannerView()
-        .transition(.move(edge: .top).combined(with: .opacity))
+if showsToast {
+    ToastView(message: message)
+        .transition(.opacity.combined(with: .move(edge: .top)))
 }
 ```
 
-Built-in types: `.opacity`, `.slide`, `.scale`, `.scale(_:anchor:)`,
-`.move(edge:)`, `.push(from:)`, `.offset(x:y:)`, `.identity`,
-`.blurReplace`, `.blurReplace(_:)`, `.symbolEffect`,
+Built in: `.identity`, `.opacity`, `.scale`, `.scale(_:anchor:)`, `.slide`,
+`.offset(x:y:)`, `.move(edge:)` and `.push(from:)`. iOS 17 added
+`.blurReplace`, `.blurReplace(_:)`, `.symbolEffect` and
 `.symbolEffect(_:options:)`.
 
-Asymmetric transitions:
+Different ways in and out:
 
 ```swift
-.transition(.asymmetric(
-    insertion: .push(from: .bottom),
-    removal: .opacity
-))
+.transition(.asymmetric(insertion: .push(from: .trailing), removal: .scale))
 ```
 
-## ContentTransition (iOS 16+)
+Custom `Transition` types are in the advanced reference.
 
-Animate in-place content changes without insertion/removal.
+## Content transitions
+
+`.contentTransition` animates a change inside a view that stays in place.
+It needs an animation to show anything.
 
 ```swift
-Text("\(score)")
+Text("\(stepCount)")
     .contentTransition(.numericText(countsDown: false))
-    .animation(.snappy, value: score)
+    .animation(.snappy, value: stepCount)
 
-// For SF Symbols
-Image(systemName: isMuted ? "speaker.slash" : "speaker.wave.3")
+Image(systemName: isMuted ? "speaker.slash.fill" : "speaker.wave.2.fill")
     .contentTransition(.symbolEffect(.replace.downUp))
 ```
 
-Types: `.identity`, `.interpolate`, `.opacity`,
-`.numericText(countsDown:)`, `.numericText(value:)`, `.symbolEffect`.
+Kinds: `.identity`, `.interpolate`, `.opacity`, `.numericText(countsDown:)`,
+`.numericText(value:)` (iOS 17), `.symbolEffect` (iOS 17).
 
-## Symbol Effects (iOS 17+)
+## Symbol effects (iOS 17+)
 
-Animate SF Symbols with semantic effects.
+Discrete effects play once when a value changes; indefinite ones run while a
+condition is true.
 
 ```swift
-// Discrete (triggers on value change)
-Image(systemName: "bell.fill")
-    .symbolEffect(.bounce, value: notificationCount)
-
-Image(systemName: "arrow.clockwise")
-    .symbolEffect(.wiggle.clockwise, value: refreshCount)
-
-// Indefinite (active while condition holds)
+Image(systemName: "envelope").symbolEffect(.bounce, value: unreadCount)
+Image(systemName: "bell").symbolEffect(.wiggle.clockwise, value: alertCount)   // iOS 18
+Image(systemName: "mic.fill").symbolEffect(.pulse, isActive: isListening)
+Image(systemName: "lungs.fill").symbolEffect(.breathe, isActive: isResting)   // iOS 18
 Image(systemName: "wifi")
-    .symbolEffect(.pulse, isActive: isSearching)
-
-Image(systemName: "mic.fill")
-    .symbolEffect(.breathe, isActive: isRecording)
-
-// Variable color with chaining
-Image(systemName: "speaker.wave.3.fill")
-    .symbolEffect(
-        .variableColor.iterative.reversing.dimInactiveLayers,
-        options: .repeating,
-        isActive: isPlaying
-    )
+    .symbolEffect(.variableColor.iterative.reversing.dimInactiveLayers,
+                  options: .repeating, isActive: isSearching)
 ```
 
-All effects: `.bounce`, `.pulse`, `.variableColor`, `.scale`, `.appear`,
-`.disappear`, `.replace`, `.breathe`, `.rotate`, `.wiggle`.
-
-Scope: `.byLayer`, `.wholeSymbol`. Direction varies per effect.
+Effects: `.appear`, `.disappear`, `.replace`, `.scale`, `.pulse`, `.bounce`
+and `.variableColor`; iOS 18 adds `.wiggle`, `.rotate` and `.breathe`.
+Most accept a scope, `.byLayer` or `.wholeSymbol`; which directions are
+available depends on the effect.
 
-## Symbol Rendering Modes
+### Rendering modes
 
-Control how SF Symbol layers are colored with `.symbolRenderingMode(_:)`.
+`.symbolRenderingMode(_:)` decides how a symbol's layers are coloured.
 
-| Mode | Effect | When to use |
-|------|--------|-------------|
-| `.monochrome` | Single color applied uniformly (default) | Toolbars, simple icons matching text |
-| `.hierarchical` | Single color with opacity layers for depth | Subtle depth without multiple colors |
-| `.multicolor` | System-defined fixed colors per layer | Weather, file types  -  Apple's intended palette |
-| `.palette` | Custom colors per layer via `.foregroundStyle` | Brand colors, custom multi-color icons |
+| Mode | Result | Good for |
+|---|---|---|
+| `.monochrome` (default) | one colour everywhere | toolbar icons that match text |
+| `.hierarchical` | one colour, layers at stepped opacity | depth without extra colours |
+| `.multicolor` | the symbol's own fixed colours | weather, file types, the intended palette |
+| `.palette` | your colours per layer via `.foregroundStyle(_:_:)` | brand or custom multi-colour icons |
 
 ```swift
-// Hierarchical  -  single tint, opacity layers for depth
-Image(systemName: "speaker.wave.3.fill")
+Image(systemName: "folder.fill.badge.gearshape")
     .symbolRenderingMode(.hierarchical)
-    .foregroundStyle(.blue)
+    .foregroundStyle(.teal)
 
-// Palette  -  custom color per layer
-Image(systemName: "person.crop.circle.badge.plus")
+Image(systemName: "person.2.badge.plus.fill")
     .symbolRenderingMode(.palette)
-    .foregroundStyle(.blue, .green)
+    .foregroundStyle(.indigo, .orange)
 
-// Multicolor  -  system-defined colors
-Image(systemName: "cloud.sun.rain.fill")
+Image(systemName: "cloud.bolt.rain.fill")
     .symbolRenderingMode(.multicolor)
-```
-
-**Variable color:** `.symbolVariableColor(value:)` for percentage-based fill (signal strength, volume):
-
-```swift
-Image(systemName: "wifi")
-    .symbolVariableColor(value: signalStrength) // 0.0-1.0
-```

-## Common Mistakes
-
-### 1. Using bare `.animation(_:)` when you need precise scope
-
-```swift
-// TOO BROAD  -  applies when the view changes
-.animation(.easeIn)
-
-// CORRECT  -  bind animation to one value
-.animation(.easeIn, value: isVisible)
 
-// CORRECT  -  scope animation to selected modifiers
-.animation(.easeIn) { content in
-    content.opacity(isVisible ? 1.0 : 0.0)
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Expensive work inside animation closures
-
-Never run heavy computation in `keyframeAnimator` / `PhaseAnimator` content closures  -  they execute every frame. Precompute outside, animate only visual properties.
-
-### 3. Missing reduce motion support
-
-```swift
-@Environment(\.accessibilityReduceMotion) private var reduceMotion
-withAnimation(reduceMotion ? .none : .bouncy) { showDetail = true }
-```
-
-### 4. Multiple matchedGeometryEffect sources
-
-Only one view per ID should be visible at a time. Two visible views with the same ID causes undefined layout.
-
-### 5. Using DispatchQueue or UIView.animate
-
-```swift
-// WRONG
-DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.5) { withAnimation { isVisible = true } }
-// CORRECT
-withAnimation(.spring.delay(0.5)) { isVisible = true }
-```
-
-### 6. Forgetting animation on ContentTransition
-
-```swift
-// WRONG  -  no animation, content transition has no effect
-Text("\(count)").contentTransition(.numericText(countsDown: true))
-// CORRECT  -  pair with animation
-Text("\(count)")
-    .contentTransition(.numericText(countsDown: true))
-    .animation(.snappy, value: count)
+Image(systemName: "cellularbars", variableValue: signalLevel)
 ```
 
-### 7. navigationTransition on wrong view
-
-Apply `.navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID:in:))` on the outermost destination view, not inside a container.
-
-## Review Checklist
-
-- [ ] Animation curve matches intent (spring for natural, ease for mechanical)
-- [ ] `withAnimation` wraps the state change; implicit animation uses `.animation(_:body:)` for selective modifier scope or `.animation(_:value:)` with an explicit value
-- [ ] `matchedGeometryEffect` has exactly one source per ID; zoom uses matching `id`/`namespace`
-- [ ] `@Animatable` macro used instead of manual `animatableData`
-- [ ] `accessibilityReduceMotion` checked; no `DispatchQueue`/`UIView.animate`
-- [ ] Transitions use `.transition()`; `contentTransition` is paired with animation and uses the narrowest implicit animation scope that fits
-- [ ] Animated state changes on @MainActor; animation-driving types are Sendable
+Symbols with variable colour show a level, such as signal strength or volume,
+from a value between 0.0 and 1.0. The value is passed to the image itself
+through `Image(systemName:variableValue:)`; there is no separate modifier for
+it.
+
+Apple docs:
+[SymbolRenderingMode](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/symbolrenderingmode),
+[symbolRenderingMode(_:)](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/symbolrenderingmode(_:)).
+
+## Common mistakes
+
+1. **Bare `.animation(_:)` with no value.** It animates every change that
+   reaches the view. Use `.animation(_:value:)` or `.animation(_:body:)`.
+2. **Work inside `KeyframeAnimator` or `PhaseAnimator` content.** Those
+   closures run every frame. Compute beforehand; only apply visual modifiers.
+3. **Ignoring Reduce Motion.** Read `@Environment(\.accessibilityReduceMotion)`
+   and pass `.none` (or a gentler curve) when it is on.
+4. **Two visible views sharing a `matchedGeometryEffect` id.** Layout becomes
+   undefined.
+5. **Delaying with `DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter` plus `withAnimation`, or
+   reaching for `UIView.animate`.** Use `Animation.delay(_:)`, for example
+   `.spring.delay(0.5)`.
+6. **`.contentTransition` with no animation.** Nothing visible happens; add
+   `.animation(_:value:)`.
+7. **`.navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID:in:))` on an inner container.** Put
+   it on the outermost destination view.
+
+## Review checklist
+
+- [ ] Curve fits the intent: a spring for natural motion, an ease curve for
+      mechanical motion
+- [ ] State changes sit inside `withAnimation`; implicit animation is either
+      scoped with `.animation(_:body:)` or tied to a value with
+      `.animation(_:value:)`
+- [ ] One visible `matchedGeometryEffect` source per id; zoom source and
+      destination share id and namespace
+- [ ] `@Animatable` used instead of hand-written `animatableData`
+- [ ] `accessibilityReduceMotion` respected; no `DispatchQueue` timing, no
+      `UIView.animate`
+- [ ] Insertions and removals use `.transition()`; each `contentTransition`
+      has an animation, with the narrowest implicit scope that works
+- [ ] State that drives animation changes on `@MainActor`, and the types
+      involved are `Sendable`
