+## Scaffold Candidate Seeding (Fase 10 — Auto-Gate)
+
+After the user confirms the tech stack, examine the stack answer for
+scaffold-preset triggers. If a match fires, persist the preset id into
+`session.scaffold_candidates` via the CLI (do NOT edit session.yaml directly —
+the mode-governance hook blocks that). This is Signal 1 of the auto-gate; the
+downstream ux-brand-architect agent produces Signal 2, and the `handleAdvance`
+post-qa-planning gate fires when both align.
+
+### motion-premium triggers (2D premium)
+Record `motion-premium` as a candidate when ALL of the following are true:
+- The stack includes **Next.js** (any version) OR **React** (any version).
+- The stack includes **Tailwind CSS** (any version — v3 or v4).
+- The stack includes at least one premium animation library: **GSAP**,
+  **Lenis**, or **Framer Motion**. A user-described intent that clearly
+  implies these (e.g. "smooth scroll pinning", "scroll-reveal storytelling",
+  "page-scroll narrative") also counts — document the phrase as evidence.
+
+### motion-premium-3d triggers (R3F + Three.js, workstream 3)
+Record `motion-premium-3d` as a candidate when ALL of the following are true:
+- The stack includes **Next.js** (any version).
+- The stack includes **Tailwind CSS**.
+- There is **explicit 3D intent** — any of:
+  - Named 3D reference sites (Oryzo camera rig, Igloo Inc scenes, many Awwwards 3D winners).
+  - Stack mentions **Three.js**, **React Three Fiber**, **R3F**, **drei**, or **WebGL**.
+  - Phrase-level 3D signals: "scroll-synced 3D hero", "camera pull",
+    "product rotation", "scroll-driven WebGL", "interactive scene",
+    "3D crossfade", "scene choreography".
+
+motion-premium-3d is ADDITIVE: record it alongside motion-premium (both
+presets in `scaffold_candidates`). The post-qa-planning auto-gate fires
+them in sequence — user applies 2D first, then 3D layer on top, per
+ADR-3D-01 (disjoint file targets ensure safe composition).
+
+motion-premium-3d uses a HIGHER confidence threshold than motion-premium
+(0.8 vs 0.7) — false positives cost ~600KB of bundle pressed onto a
+project that did not need 3D. When in doubt, do NOT record it. The ux-
+brand-architect agent confirms the intent via Signal 2.
+
+### How to write the signal
+Append a `## Scaffold Candidates` section to your handoff file
+(`artifacts/handoffs/greenfield-wu-handoff.md`). The CLI parser
+(`parseHandoffScaffoldCandidates` in `src/orchestrator/session-manager.js`)
+reads this block on `advance greenfield-wu` and merges the preset ids into
+`session.scaffold_candidates` (idempotent — no duplicate push).
+
+Schema:
+
+```markdown
+## Scaffold Candidates
+
+- motion-premium
+- motion-premium-3d
+```
+
+One preset id per bullet. Do not add prose — the parser extracts the first
+word per line. If nothing qualifies, omit the section entirely (empty list).
+
+### When NOT to record
+- Non-Next/React projects (Astro, SvelteKit, Vue, plain Vite, etc.) — both presets are Next/React-only in v1.
+- Backend-only or CLI-only projects.
+- Projects where the user explicitly opts out of premium animations
+  ("keep it minimal", "no scroll animations", "CSS-only"). Document the
+  opt-out as a constraint in the WU report and do NOT write the candidate.
+- For `motion-premium-3d` specifically: mobile-first experiences where
+  GPU budget is the primary constraint, static marketing pages with no
+  scroll choreography, or any project that fails the "explicit 3D intent"
+  bar above (phrase-level evidence alone is NOT enough).

+## Frontend Animation Architecture (MANDATORY when project has a frontend)
+
+After selecting the frontend framework, you MUST also decide the animation technology stack.
+Read the `visual_quality` field from the Brief artifact:
+
+| Quality Level | Animation Stack | Smooth Scroll | Additional |
+|---------------|----------------|---------------|------------|
+| **functional** | CSS transitions + minimal JS | Native browser scroll | - |
+| **premium** | GSAP + ScrollTrigger | Lenis | Stagger reveals, parallax, micro-interactions |
+| **showcase** | GSAP + ScrollTrigger + Three.js/R3F | Lenis | 3D scenes, scroll storytelling, cinematic transitions |
+
+If `visual_quality` is not specified in the Brief, DEFAULT to **premium**.
+
+Also check the Brief's `visual_references` - if the user provided reference sites, the animation stack MUST be capable of replicating the patterns observed in those references.
+
+**Write this as an ADR in Section 10 of architecture.md:**
+
+```
+ADR-ANIM: Animation Technology Selection
+- Status: ACCEPTED
+- Context: Visual quality target is {visual_quality}. User references: {reference_urls or 'none provided'}.
+- Decision: {animation_stack} with {scroll_library}
+- Rationale: {why this stack matches the quality target and reference patterns}
+- Consequences:
+  - Dev MUST install these libraries in the first frontend task
+  - QA-Implementation WILL verify their presence in package.json
+  - All scroll-animated sections MUST use ScrollTrigger (not CSS-only)
+  - Smooth scroll MUST be active via Lenis (not native scroll-behavior)
+```
+
+This ADR is **NON-NEGOTIABLE**. Every project with a frontend MUST have an explicit animation technology decision. Omitting this ADR is an ERROR that QA-Planning will flag.
