This change animates the delivery diagram with stylesheets only: ordered stages light up in turn, return loops pulse and verdict dots shimmer. Readers who prefer still motion see the same complete static diagram, and the markup stays free of scripts and new assets.
Motivation
The diagram already showed every stage, loop and verdict, but visitors had to read it as a static list. The parent initiative asks that the flow read as a flow: early stages settle first, blocked stages visibly loop back through fix and re-review, and the eye lands on the verdict trail. The change stays decorative so text, tables and assistive paths carry the same facts either way.
What changed
The renderer now marks the ordered list with an animation hook class. The stylesheet gains an additive keyframe block: staged delays light nodes up in order, loops use a slow pulse, dots use a gentle shimmer, all with opacity and transform only so positions never shift. A reduced-motion rule turns every animation off, themes and mobile behavior are untouched, and the added styles stay well under the size budget.
How it was done
After the hosting preflight and a fresh feature branch from the main line, development added the hook class plus deterministic order hooks in the pipeline renderer with no schema change, sequencing light-up by stage order. Styles reuse the existing semantic tokens only, keyframes touch opacity and transform alone, and the standing reduced-motion guard restores the static diagram. Tests were extended with one animation case covering the hook, the keyframes, the guard and the size budget, and this log entry ships in the same change per the standing rule.
Verification evidence
The full unit suite runs green including the new animation case, the markup gate accepts the generated diagram, the build rebuilds byte-identical output, the presence gate passes on this branch, and a secret scan of the diff is clean. Evidence on this head includes the ordered light-up, the loop pulse, the dot shimmer, both themes, small screens, the reduced-motion fallback and the added stylesheet weight. Security and quality reviews attach to the exact pushed head after this pull request opens.
How this entry was built.
Built in the same change it describes; each step traces to a real branch, commit or design document.
- Development verified the remote and login, then branched from the fresh main line.
- Development added the renderer hook, the keyframe styles and the diagram test.
- Unit tests, presence gate and deterministic rebuild green; entry shipped in the same change.

Why each step ran.
- DEV
- Development verified the remote and the login with push access, then branched from the fresh main line. It then added the animation hook in the renderer, the additive keyframe styles with the reduced-motion kill-switch, the diagram test and this log entry, keeping the build deterministic. The full suite and the presence gate run green before review.
