 * If those animations never run — throttled tab, stalled compositor, headless
 * capture, an engine that chokes on the keyframes — the brand name would be
 * invisible, which is the worst possible failure for this page.
 *
 * main.js stamps .motion-settled on <html> once the entrance sequence is over
 * (4.2s; the last animation finishes at 3.7s). If the animations ran this is a
 * no-op because the elements are already in exactly this state. If they did
 * not, the content becomes visible anyway.
