- Wave headline: the hero's letters swell from weight 560 to 900 around the mouse (a wave rolls through on its own without one). - Page alphabet: one letter per section on the right edge, like the launcher's; hover shows the wave and a bubble, drag jumps between sections, tap scrolls there; on phones it appears while scrolling. Blended so it reads on dark, cyan and violet sections. - Detail cards are switches now: left-handed alphabet, compact/comfy rows and four icon shapes, applied to every phone on the page. - Under the glass: a new section where the phone pulls apart into its layers (wallpaper, widgets, icons, app list, glass) with labels. - Race: a new section; find an app in a shuffled grid of 40, then in the list with the wave alphabet, timed. The list phone reuses the playground controller, locked to the list. The phone comes on screen before the clock starts. - Living wallpaper: light bands on a canvas behind the hero. - Magnetic buttons and a finger cursor over the phones (desktop only). - Easter eggs: scrub to F in the playground, or type "flexera". - A vibration tick per letter while scrubbing, on phones that have it. - 40 generic apps instead of 29; the alphabet now sits from the bottom. - Fixed: the alphabet's magnifier had no size, so its 300 px svg box covered the list once the alphabet moved to the left and took taps. Reduced motion stops everything that moves on its own. Checked in Chrome at 1440 x 900 and 390 x 844: no console errors or sideways scrolling, every playground gesture, the camera chapter without flash, each switch, both eggs, a full race, and the QR code as drawn.
