Zoom Through Transition - HyperFrames

Install

That writes one file: compositions/components/zoom-through-transition.html.

Variables

Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:

Variable	Default	Accepts	What it does
`from-label`	`Before`	string	Caption on the outgoing scene, the one on screen when the transition starts.
`to-label`	`Zoom Through Transition`	string	Caption on the incoming scene, the one the timeline wipes into frame.
`depth`	`standard`	`close`, `standard`, `far`	Multiplies how far both scenes travel and how hard the outgoing one blurs, so the push covers a shorter or longer run in the same time.
`accent`	`blue`	`blue`, `green`, `violet`	Theme token for the ring marking the incoming scene. Blue rides —accent, green —brand, violet —accent-2; each falls back to a neutral hairline.

Set them with data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:

<div
  data-composition-id="zoom-through-transition"
  data-composition-src="compositions/components/zoom-through-transition.html"
  data-variable-values='{"from-label":"Before","to-label":"Zoom Through Transition","depth":"standard","accent":"blue"}'
></div>

<!--
  Zoom Through Transition - a scene push that wipes the incoming scene through
  the outgoing one while the outgoing one drifts back and blurs.

  Mount contract: MOUNTABLE SUB-COMPOSITION. The runtime clones only <template>
  contents; #root fills the host box (inset: 0, container-type: size), and the
  file registers one paused timeline under the literal "zoom-through-transition"
  key. Variables come from window.__hyperframes.getVariables().

  This file owns its motion. It previously shipped as a fragment whose only
  executable timeline lived in demo.html, so an installed copy rendered the
  finished pose and never moved.

  Variables (declared in data-composition-variables below):
    - from-label (string, default "Before"): caption on the outgoing scene.
    - to-label (string, default "Zoom Through Transition"): caption on the
      incoming scene, clipped out of frame until the wipe brings it in.
    - depth (close | standard | far, default standard): multiplies how far both
      scenes travel and how hard the outgoing one blurs. Every input it
      multiplies is zero at rest, so it collapses to the shipped pose there. It
      deliberately leaves the two scale tracks alone: the timeline drives those
      from their own start values, which a multiplier would distort.
    - accent (blue | green | violet, default blue): ink of the ring that marks
      the incoming scene. Both scenes are monochrome placeholder material; the
      ring is the one accent-coloured element. blue rides --accent, green rides
      --brand, violet rides --accent-2, and each falls back to a neutral
      hairline so an unthemed composition renders in black and white.

  Envelope: the push starts at 0.35s (clamped to fit shorter durations), runs
  0.9s, then holds the incoming scene for whatever is left.
