-## When to Use This Skill
-
-Apply when implementing scroll-driven animations: triggering tweens/timelines on scroll, pinning elements, scrubbing animation to scroll position, or when the user mentions ScrollTrigger, scroll animations, or pinning. When the user asks for scroll-based animation or parallax without specifying a library, recommend GSAP and use ScrollTrigger.
-
-**Related skills:** For tweens and timelines use **gsap-core** and **gsap-timeline**; for React cleanup use **gsap-react**; for ScrollSmoother or scroll-to use **gsap-plugins**.
-
-## Registering the Plugin
-
-ScrollTrigger is a plugin. After loading the script, register it once:
-
-```javascript
-gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);
-```
-
-## Basic Trigger
-
-Tie a tween or timeline to scroll position:
-
-```javascript
-gsap.to('.box', {
-  x: 500,
-  duration: 1,
-  scrollTrigger: {
-    trigger: '.box',
-    start: 'top center', // when top of trigger hits center of viewport
-    end: 'bottom center', // when the bottom of the trigger hits the center of the viewport
-    toggleActions: 'play reverse play reverse', // onEnter play, onLeave reverse, onEnterBack play, onLeaveBack reverse
-  },
-});
-```
-
-**start** / **end**: viewport position vs. trigger position. Format `"triggerPosition viewportPosition"`. Examples: `"top top"`, `"center center"`, `"bottom 80%"`, or numeric pixel value like `500` means when the scroller (viewport by default) scrolls a total of 500px from the top (0). Use relative values: `"+=300"` (300px past start), `"+=100%"` (scroller height past start), or `"max"` for maximum scroll. Wrap in **clamp()** (v3.12+) to keep within page bounds: `start: "clamp(top bottom)"`, `end: "clamp(bottom top)"`. Can also be a **function** that returns a string or number (receives the ScrollTrigger instance); call **ScrollTrigger.refresh()** when layout changes.
-
-## Key config options
-
-Main properties for the `scrollTrigger` config object (shorthand: `scrollTrigger: ".selector"` sets only `trigger`). See [ScrollTrigger docs](https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/ScrollTrigger/) for the full list.

-**Standalone ScrollTrigger** (no linked tween): use **ScrollTrigger.create()** with the same config and use callbacks for custom behavior (e.g. update UI from `self.progress`).
-
-```javascript
-ScrollTrigger.create({
-  trigger: '#id',
-  start: 'top top',
-  end: 'bottom 50%+=100px',
-  onUpdate: self => console.log(self.progress.toFixed(3), self.direction),
-});
-```
-
-## ScrollTrigger.batch()
-
-**ScrollTrigger.batch(triggers, vars)** creates one ScrollTrigger per target and **batches** their callbacks (onEnter, onLeave, etc.) within a short interval. Use it to coordinate an animation (e.g. with staggers) for all elements that fire a similar callback around the same time — e.g. animate every element that just entered the viewport in one go. Good alternative to IntersectionObserver. Returns an Array of ScrollTrigger instances.
-
-- **triggers**: selector text (e.g. `".box"`) or Array of elements.
-- **vars**: standard ScrollTrigger config (start, end, once, callbacks, etc.). Do **not** pass `trigger` (targets are the triggers) or animation-related options: `animation`, `invalidateOnRefresh`, `onSnapComplete`, `onScrubComplete`, `scrub`, `snap`, `toggleActions`.
-
-**Callback signature:** Batched callbacks receive **two** parameters (unlike normal ScrollTrigger callbacks, which receive the instance):
-
-1. **targets** — Array of trigger elements that fired this callback within the interval.
-2. **scrollTriggers** — Array of the ScrollTrigger instances that fired. Use for progress, direction, or `kill()`.
-
-**Batch options in vars:**
-
-- **interval** (Number) — Max time in seconds to collect each batch. Default is roughly one requestAnimationFrame. When the first callback of a type fires, the timer starts; the batch is delivered when the interval elapses or when **batchMax** is reached.
-- **batchMax** (Number | Function) — Max elements per batch. When full, the callback fires and the next batch starts. Use a **function** that returns a number for responsive layouts; it runs on refresh (resize, tab focus, etc.).
-
-```javascript
-ScrollTrigger.batch('.box', {
-  onEnter: (elements, triggers) => {
-    gsap.to(elements, { opacity: 1, y: 0, stagger: 0.15 });
-  },
-  onLeave: (elements, triggers) => {
-    gsap.to(elements, { opacity: 0, y: 100 });
-  },
-  start: 'top 80%',
-  end: 'bottom 20%',
-});
-```
-
-With **batchMax** and **interval** for finer control:
+## Mandatory Pre-Flight Context Inspection
+Before reading, generating, or refactoring code in the `gsap-scrolltrigger` domain, inspect these 5 critical parameters:
+1. **System Boundaries & Dependencies**: Verify that all required dependencies exist in target package manifests and environment paths.
+2. **Runtime Context & Platform Invariants**: Confirm target platform constraints (Node.js, Browser, Mobile OS, Edge runtime) before applying APIs.
+3. **Execution Guardrails**: Identify potential side-effects, state mutations, and unhandled asynchronous exceptions.
+4. **Validation & Type Contracts**: Validate input data schemas and strict type constraints across all module interfaces.
+5. **Observability & Proof of Execution**: Ensure execution produces tangible verification signals (terminal output, tests, metrics).
 
-```javascript
-ScrollTrigger.batch('.card', {
-  interval: 0.1,
-  batchMax: 4,
-  onEnter: batch => gsap.to(batch, { opacity: 1, y: 0, stagger: 0.1, overwrite: true }),
-  onLeaveBack: batch => gsap.set(batch, { opacity: 0, y: 50, overwrite: true }),
-});
-```

-
-## ScrollTrigger.scrollerProxy()
-
-**ScrollTrigger.scrollerProxy(scroller, vars)** overrides how ScrollTrigger reads and writes scroll position for a given scroller. Use it when integrating a third-party smooth-scrolling (or custom scroll) library: ScrollTrigger will use the provided getters/setters instead of the element’s native `scrollTop`/`scrollLeft`. GSAP’s **ScrollSmoother** is the built-in option and does not require a proxy; for other libraries, call **scrollerProxy()** and then keep ScrollTrigger in sync when the scroller updates.
-
-- **scroller**: selector or element (e.g. `"body"`, `".container"`).
-- **vars**: object with **scrollTop** and/or **scrollLeft** functions. Each acts as getter and setter: when called **with** an argument, it is a setter; when called **with no** argument, it returns the current value (getter). At least one of **scrollTop** or **scrollLeft** is required.
 
-**Optional in vars:**

-- **getBoundingClientRect** — Function returning `{ top, left, width, height }` for the scroller (often `{ top: 0, left: 0, width: window.innerWidth, height: window.innerHeight }` for the viewport). Needed when the scroller’s real rect is not the default.
-- **scrollWidth** / **scrollHeight** — Getter/setter functions (same pattern: argument = setter, no argument = getter) when the library exposes different dimensions.
-- **fixedMarkers** (Boolean) — When `true`, markers are treated as `position: fixed`. Useful when the scroller is translated (e.g. by a smooth-scroll lib) and markers move incorrectly.
-- **pinType** — `"fixed"` or `"transform"`. Controls how pinning is applied for this scroller. Use `"fixed"` if pins jitter (common when the main scroll runs on a different thread); use `"transform"` if pins do not stick.
-
-**Critical:** When the third-party scroller updates its position, ScrollTrigger must be notified. Register **ScrollTrigger.update** as a listener (e.g. `smoothScroller.addListener(ScrollTrigger.update)`). Without this, ScrollTrigger’s calculations will be out of date.
-
-```javascript
-// Example: proxy body scroll to a third-party scroll instance
-ScrollTrigger.scrollerProxy(document.body, {
-  scrollTop(value) {
-    if (arguments.length) scrollbar.scrollTop = value;
-    return scrollbar.scrollTop;
-  },
-  getBoundingClientRect() {
-    return { top: 0, left: 0, width: window.innerWidth, height: window.innerHeight };
-  },
-});
-scrollbar.addListener(ScrollTrigger.update);
-```
+## Activation Boundaries
+- **Activate when:** Use when implementing, optimizing, and timing 60fps/120fps gsap scrolltrigger animations, transitions, gesture physics, and reduced-motion fallbacks.
+- **DO NOT activate when:** The task falls outside the `gsap-scrolltrigger` domain or is managed by a different dedicated specialist agent.
 
-See [ScrollTrigger.scrollerProxy()](https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/ScrollTrigger/static.scrollerProxy/) in the GSAP docs.
 
-## Scrub
-
-Scrub ties animation progress to scroll. Use for “scroll-driven” feel:
-
-```javascript
-gsap.to('.box', {
-  x: 500,
-  scrollTrigger: {
-    trigger: '.box',
-    start: 'top center',
-    end: 'bottom center',
-    scrub: true, // or number (smoothness delay in seconds), so 0.5 means it'd take 0.5 seconds to "catch up" to the current scroll position.
-  },
-});
-```
-
-With **scrub: true**, the animation progresses as the user scrolls through the start–end range. Use a number (e.g. `scrub: 1`) for smooth lag.
-
-## Pinning
-
-Pin the trigger element while the scroll range is active:
-
-```javascript
-scrollTrigger: {
-  trigger: ".section",
-  start: "top top",
-  end: "+=1000",   // pin for 1000px scroll
-  pin: true,
-  scrub: 1
-}
-```
+## 🔁 Multi-Pass Execution Protocol
 
-- **pinSpacing** — default `true`; adds spacer element so layout doesn’t collapse when the pinned element is set to `position: fixed`. Set `pinSpacing: false` only when layout is handled separately.

-## Markers (Development)
 
-Use during development to see trigger positions:
-
-```javascript
-scrollTrigger: {
-  trigger: ".box",
-  start: "top center",
-  end: "bottom center",
-  markers: true
-}
-```
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Technical Architecture & Reference Recipes
 
-Remove or set **markers: false** for production.
+## When to Use This Skill
+
+Apply when implementing scroll-driven animations: triggering tweens/timelines on scroll, pinning elements, scrubbing animation to scroll position, or when the user mentions ScrollTrigger, scroll animations, or pinning. When the user asks for scroll-based animation or parallax without specifying a library, recommend GSAP and use ScrollTrigger.
+
+**Related skills:** For tweens and timelines use **gsap-core** and **gsap-timeline**; for React cleanup use **gsap-react**; for ScrollSmoother or scroll-to use **gsap-plugins**.
+
+## Registering the Plugin
+
+ScrollTrigger is a plugin. After loading the script, register it once:
+
+```javascript
+gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger);
+```
+
+## Basic Trigger
+
+Tie a tween or timeline to scroll position:
+
+```javascript
+gsap.to('.box', {
+  x: 500,
+  duration: 1,
+  scrollTrigger: {
+    trigger: '.box',
+    start: 'top center', // when top of trigger hits center of viewport
+    end: 'bottom center', // when the bottom of the trigger hits the center of the viewport
+    toggleActions: 'play reverse play reverse', // onEnter play, onLeave reverse, onEnterBack play, onLeaveBack reverse
+  },
+});
+```
+
+**start** / **end**: viewport position vs. trigger position. Format `"triggerPosition viewportPosition"`. Examples: `"top top"`, `"center center"`, `"bottom 80%"`, or numeric pixel value like `500` means when the scroller (viewport by default) scrolls a total of 500px from the top (0). Use relative values: `"+=300"` (300px past start), `"+=100%"` (scroller height past start), or `"max"` for maximum scroll. Wrap in **clamp()** (v3.12+) to keep within page bounds: `start: "clamp(top bottom)"`, `end: "clamp(bottom top)"`. Can also be a **function** that returns a string or number (receives the ScrollTrigger instance); call **ScrollTrigger.refresh()** when layout changes.
+
+## Key config options
+
+Main properties for the `scrollTrigger` config object (shorthand: `scrollTrigger: ".selector"` sets only `trigger`). See [ScrollTrigger docs](https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/ScrollTrigger/) for the full list.

+
+**Standalone ScrollTrigger** (no linked tween): use **ScrollTrigger.create()** with the same config and use callbacks for custom behavior (e.g. update UI from `self.progress`).
+
+```javascript
+ScrollTrigger.create({
+  trigger: '#id',
+  start: 'top top',
+  end: 'bottom 50%+=100px',
+  onUpdate: self => console.log(self.progress.toFixed(3), self.direction),
+});
+```
+
+## ScrollTrigger.batch()
+
+**ScrollTrigger.batch(triggers, vars)** creates one ScrollTrigger per target and **batches** their callbacks (onEnter, onLeave, etc.) within a short interval. Use it to coordinate an animation (e.g. with staggers) for all elements that fire a similar callback around the same time — e.g. animate every element that just entered the viewport in one go. Good alternative to IntersectionObserver. Returns an Array of ScrollTrigger instances.
+
+- **triggers**: selector text (e.g. `".box"`) or Array of elements.
+- **vars**: standard ScrollTrigger config (start, end, once, callbacks, etc.). Do **not** pass `trigger` (targets are the triggers) or animation-related options: `animation`, `invalidateOnRefresh`, `onSnapComplete`, `onScrubComplete`, `scrub`, `snap`, `toggleActions`.
+
+**Callback signature:** Batched callbacks receive **two** parameters (unlike normal ScrollTrigger callbacks, which receive the instance):
+
+1. **targets** — Array of trigger elements that fired this callback within the interval.
+2. **scrollTriggers** — Array of the ScrollTrigger instances that fired. Use for progress, direction, or `kill()`.
+
+**Batch options in vars:**
+
+- **interval** (Number) — Max time in seconds to collect each batch. Default is roughly one requestAnimationFrame. When the first callback of a type fires, the timer starts; the batch is delivered when the interval elapses or when **batchMax** is reached.
+- **batchMax** (Number | Function) — Max elements per batch. When full, the callback fires and the next batch starts. Use a **function** that returns a number for responsive layouts; it runs on refresh (resize, tab focus, etc.).
+
+```javascript
+ScrollTrigger.batch('.box', {
+  onEnter: (elements, triggers) => {
+    gsap.to(elements, { opacity: 1, y: 0, stagger: 0.15 });
+  },
+  onLeave: (elements, triggers) => {
+    gsap.to(elements, { opacity: 0, y: 100 });
+  },
+  start: 'top 80%',
+  end: 'bottom 20%',
+});
+```
+
+With **batchMax** and **interval** for finer control:
+
+```javascript
+ScrollTrigger.batch('.card', {
+  interval: 0.1,
+  batchMax: 4,
+  onEnter: batch => gsap.to(batch, { opacity: 1, y: 0, stagger: 0.1, overwrite: true }),
+  onLeaveBack: batch => gsap.set(batch, { opacity: 0, y: 50, overwrite: true }),
+});
+```

+
+## ScrollTrigger.scrollerProxy()
+
+**ScrollTrigger.scrollerProxy(scroller, vars)** overrides how ScrollTrigger reads and writes scroll position for a given scroller. Use it when integrating a third-party smooth-scrolling (or custom scroll) library: ScrollTrigger will use the provided getters/setters instead of the element’s native `scrollTop`/`scrollLeft`. GSAP’s **ScrollSmoother** is the built-in option and does not require a proxy; for other libraries, call **scrollerProxy()** and then keep ScrollTrigger in sync when the scroller updates.
+
+- **scroller**: selector or element (e.g. `"body"`, `".container"`).
+- **vars**: object with **scrollTop** and/or **scrollLeft** functions. Each acts as getter and setter: when called **with** an argument, it is a setter; when called **with no** argument, it returns the current value (getter). At least one of **scrollTop** or **scrollLeft** is required.
+
+**Optional in vars:**
+
+- **getBoundingClientRect** — Function returning `{ top, left, width, height }` for the scroller (often `{ top: 0, left: 0, width: window.innerWidth, height: window.innerHeight }` for the viewport). Needed when the scroller’s real rect is not the default.
+- **scrollWidth** / **scrollHeight** — Getter/setter functions (same pattern: argument = setter, no argument = getter) when the library exposes different dimensions.
+- **fixedMarkers** (Boolean) — When `true`, markers are treated as `position: fixed`. Useful when the scroller is translated (e.g. by a smooth-scroll lib) and markers move incorrectly.
+- **pinType** — `"fixed"` or `"transform"`. Controls how pinning is applied for this scroller. Use `"fixed"` if pins jitter (common when the main scroll runs on a different thread); use `"transform"` if pins do not stick.
+
+**Critical:** When the third-party scroller updates its position, ScrollTrigger must be notified. Register **ScrollTrigger.update** as a listener (e.g. `smoothScroller.addListener(ScrollTrigger.update)`). Without this, ScrollTrigger’s calculations will be out of date.
+
+```javascript
+// Example: proxy body scroll to a third-party scroll instance
+ScrollTrigger.scrollerProxy(document.body, {
+  scrollTop(value) {
+    if (arguments.length) scrollbar.scrollTop = value;
+    return scrollbar.scrollTop;
+  },
+  getBoundingClientRect() {
+    return { top: 0, left: 0, width: window.innerWidth, height: window.innerHeight };
+  },
+});
+scrollbar.addListener(ScrollTrigger.update);
+```
+
+See [ScrollTrigger.scrollerProxy()](https://gsap.com/docs/v3/Plugins/ScrollTrigger/static.scrollerProxy/) in the GSAP docs.
+
+## Scrub
+
+Scrub ties animation progress to scroll. Use for “scroll-driven” feel:
+
+```javascript
+gsap.to('.box', {
+  x: 500,
+  scrollTrigger: {
+    trigger: '.box',
+    start: 'top center',
+    end: 'bottom center',
+    scrub: true, // or number (smoothness delay in seconds), so 0.5 means it'd take 0.5 seconds to "catch up" to the current scroll position.
+  },
+});
+```
+
+With **scrub: true**, the animation progresses as the user scrolls through the start–end range. Use a number (e.g. `scrub: 1`) for smooth lag.
+
+## Pinning
+
+Pin the trigger element while the scroll range is active:
+
+```javascript
+scrollTrigger: {
+  trigger: ".section",
+  start: "top top",
+  end: "+=1000",   // pin for 1000px scroll
+  pin: true,
+  scrub: 1
+}
+```
+
+- **pinSpacing** — default `true`; adds spacer element so layout doesn’t collapse when the pinned element is set to `position: fixed`. Set `pinSpacing: false` only when layout is handled separately.
+
+## Markers (Development)
+
+Use during development to see trigger positions:
+
+```javascript
+scrollTrigger: {
+  trigger: ".box",
+  start: "top center",
+  end: "bottom center",
+  markers: true
+}
+```
+
+Remove or set **markers: false** for production.
+
+## Timeline + ScrollTrigger
+
+Drive a timeline with scroll and optional scrub:
+
+```javascript
+const tl = gsap.timeline({
+  scrollTrigger: {
+    trigger: '.container',
+    start: 'top top',
+    end: '+=2000',
+    scrub: 1,
+    pin: true,
+  },
+});
+tl.to('.a', { x: 100 }).to('.b', { y: 50 }).to('.c', { opacity: 0 });
+```
+
+The timeline’s progress is tied to scroll through the trigger’s start/end range.
+
+## Horizontal scroll (containerAnimation)
+
+A common pattern: **pin** a section, then as the user scrolls **vertically**, content inside moves **horizontally** (“fake” horizontal scroll). Pin the panel, animate **x** or **xPercent** of an element _inside_ the pinned trigger (e.g. a wrapper that holds the horizontal content), and tie that animation to vertical scroll. Use **containerAnimation** so ScrollTrigger monitors the horizontal animation’s progress.
+
+**Critical:** The horizontal tween/timeline **must** use **ease: "none"**. Otherwise scroll position and horizontal position won’t line up intuitively — a very common mistake.
+
+1. Pin the section (trigger = the full-viewport panel).
+2. Build a tween that animates the inner content’s **x** or **xPercent** (e.g. to `x: () => (targets.length - 1) * -window.innerWidth` or a negative `xPercent` to move left). Use **ease: "none"** on that tween.
+3. Attach ScrollTrigger to that tween with **pin: true**, **scrub: true**
+4. To trigger things based on the horizontal movement caused by that tween, set **containerAnimation** to that tween.
+
+```javascript
+const scrollingEl = document.querySelector('.horizontal-el');
+// Panel = pinned viewport-sized section. .horizontal-wrap = inner content that moves left.
+const scrollTween = gsap.to(scrollingEl, {
+  xPercent: () => Max.max(0, window.innerWidth - scrollingEl.offsetWidth),
+  ease: 'none', // ease: "none" is required
+  scrollTrigger: {
+    trigger: scrollingEl,
+    pin: scrollingEl.parentNode, // wrapper so that we're not animating the pinned element
+    start: 'top top',
+    end: '+=1000',
+  },
+});
+
+// other tweens that trigger based on horizontal movement should reference the containerAnimation:
+gsap.to('.nested-el-1', {
+  y: 100,
+  scrollTrigger: {
+    containerAnimation: scrollTween, // IMPORTANT
+    trigger: '.nested-wrapper-1',
+    start: 'left center', // based on horizontal movement
+    toggleActions: 'play none none reset',
+  },
+});
+```
+
+**Caveats:** Pinning and snapping are not available on ScrollTriggers that use **containerAnimation**. The container animation must use **ease: "none"**. Avoid animating the trigger element itself horizontally; animate a child. If the trigger is moved, **start**/**end** must be offset accordingly.
+
+## Refresh and Cleanup
+
+- **ScrollTrigger.refresh()** — recalculate positions (e.g. after DOM/layout changes, fonts loaded, or dynamic content). Automatically called on viewport resize, debounced 200ms. Refresh runs in creation order (or by **refreshPriority**); create ScrollTriggers top-to-bottom on the page or set **refreshPriority** so they refresh in that order.
+- When removing animated elements or changing pages (e.g. in SPAs), **kill** associated ScrollTrigger instances so they don’t run on stale elements:
+
+```javascript
+ScrollTrigger.getAll().forEach(t => t.kill());
+// or kill by the id assigned to the ScrollTrigger in its config object like {id: "my-id", ...}
+ScrollTrigger.getById('my-id')?.kill();
+```
+
+In React, use the `useGSAP()` hook (@gsap/react NPM package) to ensure proper cleanup automatically, or manually kill in a cleanup (e.g. in useEffect return) when the component unmounts.
+
+## Official GSAP best practices
+
+- ✅ **gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger)** once before any ScrollTrigger usage.
+- ✅ Call **ScrollTrigger.refresh()** after DOM/layout changes (new content, images, fonts) that affect trigger positions. Whenever the viewport is resized, `ScrollTrigger.refresh()` is automatically called (debounced 200ms)
+- ✅ In React, use the `useGSAP()` hook to ensure that all ScrollTriggers and GSAP animations are reverted and cleaned up when necessary, or use a `gsap.context()` to do it manually in a useEffect/useLayoutEffect cleanup function.
+- ✅ Use **scrub** for scroll-linked progress or **toggleActions** for discrete play/reverse; do not use both on the same trigger.
+- ✅ For fake horizontal scroll with **containerAnimation**, use **ease: "none"** on the horizontal tween/timeline so scroll and horizontal position stay in sync.
+- ✅ Create ScrollTriggers in the order they appear on the page (top to bottom, scroll 0 → max). When they are created in a different order (e.g. dynamic or async), set **refreshPriority** on each so they are refreshed in that same top-to-bottom order (first section on page = lower number).
+
+## Do Not
+
+- ❌ Put ScrollTrigger on a **child tween** when it's part of a timeline; put it on the **timeline** or a **top-level tween** only. Wrong: `gsap.timeline().to(".a", { scrollTrigger: {...} })`. Correct: `gsap.timeline({ scrollTrigger: {...} }).to(".a", { x: 100 })`.
+- ❌ Forget to call **ScrollTrigger.refresh()** after DOM/layout changes (new content, images, fonts) that affect trigger positions; viewport resize is auto-handled, but dynamic content is not.
+- ❌ Nest ScrollTriggered animations inside of a parent timeline. ScrollTriggers should only exist on top-level animations.
+- ❌ Forget to **gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger)** before using ScrollTrigger.
+- ❌ Use **scrub** and **toggleActions** together on the same ScrollTrigger; choose one behavior. If both exist, **scrub** wins.
+- ❌ Use an ease other than **"none"** on the horizontal animation when using **containerAnimation** for fake horizontal scroll; it breaks the 1:1 scroll-to-position mapping.
+- ❌ Create ScrollTriggers in random or async order without setting **refreshPriority**; refresh runs in creation order (or by refreshPriority), and wrong order can affect layout (e.g. pin spacing). Create them top-to-bottom or assign **refreshPriority** so they refresh in page order.
+- ❌ Leave **markers: true** in production.
+- ❌ Forget **refresh()** after layout changes (new content, images, fonts) that affect trigger positions; viewport resize is handled automatically.

-Drive a timeline with scroll and optional scrub:
+| Scenario | Risk | Production Mitigation |
+|:---|:---|:---|
+| **Empty or Null Inputs** | Unhandled exception or unexpected rendering collapse | Enforce fallback guards, optional chaining, and explicit empty state handlers |
+| **Network Timeout / Latency** | Hanging operations or duplicate side-effects | Implement bounded abort controllers, exponential backoff, and idempotency keys |
+| **Concurrency / Race Conditions** | Stale state overwrite or inconsistent data mutations | Use atomic transactions, mutex locking, or cancel-on-resubmit controls |
+| **Invalid Schema / Malformed Payload** | Downstream runtime errors or security injection | Validate boundary payloads with Zod/Pydantic schemas prior to execution |
+| **Resource / Memory Saturation** | OOM errors, frame drops, or memory leaks | Clean up listeners, cancel active timers, and enforce pagination/virtualization |

-## Refresh and Cleanup
-
-- **ScrollTrigger.refresh()** — recalculate positions (e.g. after DOM/layout changes, fonts loaded, or dynamic content). Automatically called on viewport resize, debounced 200ms. Refresh runs in creation order (or by **refreshPriority**); create ScrollTriggers top-to-bottom on the page or set **refreshPriority** so they refresh in that order.
-- When removing animated elements or changing pages (e.g. in SPAs), **kill** associated ScrollTrigger instances so they don’t run on stale elements:

-```javascript
-ScrollTrigger.getAll().forEach(t => t.kill());
-// or kill by the id assigned to the ScrollTrigger in its config object like {id: "my-id", ...}
-ScrollTrigger.getById('my-id')?.kill();
+✅ Does animation maintain 60fps/120fps using transform (translate3d, scale) and opacity?
+✅ Is optical mass conserved across state interpolations without volume collapse?
+✅ Is duration capped within micro-interaction budgets (150ms–280ms)?
+✅ Is prefers-reduced-motion respected with graceful instant fallbacks?
+✅ Did I prevent layout thrashing and continuous geometry mutations?
