 4. **Decide living or still.** A still photo can be made to feel alive (field `drift`, studio `motion`), but some users want it still. Follow their words; keep art behind text, in grids and in data views still; reduced motion always gets a still. See [living or still](references/design-matching.md#living-or-still).
 5. **Say what you chose in one line** and offer one alternative. Ask only when the media is missing or motion would be new to a site that has none.
 
+[references/components.md](references/components.md) has 29 ready-made components with a shared theme-aware helper: controls (button loading, slide to confirm, like burst, verification code, command palette), feedback (loading states, skeleton loader, toast stack, pull to refresh), AI (voice orb, thinking, streaming text, image generation), transitions (page transition, delete into characters), data (chart, odometer, border beam), media (before and after, dropzone, accordion, swipe cards, video), text (decode headline, wordmark) and pages (sign-in, pricing, 404, hero background), each with the prompt a person gives and the reference code. Start there when the request matches one.

 | Their photo, video or GIF as ASCII on the page, optionally answering the cursor | `asciify` / `asciifyVideo` / `asciifyGif`, plus `mountHover` from `/hover` for the website hovers |
 | A full-bleed hero or brand field that stays smooth under the cursor, or their own word as the characters | `mountGlyphField` from `/field` ([glyph-field.md](references/glyph-field.md)); `hover: 'trail'` for the classic Asciify Trail on pure characters, `'fluid'` for bold and liquid, `'lantern'` for a subtle light |
+| A calm background behind product content (SaaS hero, pricing, docs), light or dark | `mountGlyphField` with `mark: 'dot'`, `scene: 'drift'`, `clear` around the copy, and `pulse()` on events (4.12) |
 | Art styles, saved looks, backdrops, masks, effects, PNG/MP4/GIF export | `mountStudio` from `/studio` ([studio-workspace.md](references/studio-workspace.md)) |
 | Several media and text layers in one artwork | `mountStudioProject` from `/studio` ([layered-projects.md](references/layered-projects.md)) |
 | An ambient background with no media | A template from asciify.org/backgrounds, or a `/field` generated scene |
