🚀 Intro Animations

These short animations play once when the light is turned ON.

ID Animation Name Description

1 Wipe Linear wipe from start to end (respects Mirror).
2 Fade Smooth brightness fade-in.
3 Center Wipe from center outwards (or inwards if reversed).

Transition Behavior

When the Intro Duration ends, the Intro Effect will Dissolve (Soft Fairy Dust) into the Main Effect over 1.5 seconds. This creates a seamless, premium startup experience.
