Subject: [PATCH 01/21] Add windy particle motion mode as default for Thanos
 disintegrate

Introduce particleMotionMode with splat (radial burst) and windy
(flow-field turbulence) physics. Windy mode uses Perlin-style noise to
steer particles along curved gust paths, with lighter gravity and
stronger horizontal carry. Defaults to windy; splat remains available
via particleMotionMode: "splat".

Subject: [PATCH 03/21] Retune windy mode to fire-spark motion with buoyant
 rise

Replace horizontal flow-field gusts with upward spark launch, high-frequency
flutter, decaying buoyancy lift, and a gravity arc. Sparks fade faster and
wobble more like embers than wind-blown dust.

Subject: [PATCH 04/21] Refactor spark motion: drop Perlin noise, consolidate
 physics

- Remove 80-line windTurbulence.ts (Perlin only contributed tiny drift)
- Add sparkFlutter.ts and sparkParticlePhysics.ts with clear naming
- Centralize motion profiles and spark constants
- Fix getParticleRevealMargin double-resolve
- Drop noise implementation-detail test

-Now make a deep review of the code and make sure it follows best practices like DRY, KISS, SOLID, covers security principles, does not have memory leaks or possible race conditions.
-In flows where something goes wrong, we must explicitly fail with a visible error, not continue silently.
-If you found things to improve, try to cover them with unit tests to avoid regression.
+# Deep code review
+
+Review the code in scope (the current branch, PR diff, or files the user pointed at) and **apply fixes in this same session**. A review that only lists issues without implementing fixes is incomplete.
+
+## Non-negotiable: fix immediately
+
+**Always implement in code before you finish** — do not defer to a follow-up unless the item is explicitly low-priority (see below):
+
+1. **Dead code** — unused exports, functions, types, constants, files, imports, commented-out blocks, unreachable branches, stale helpers left after a refactor.
+2. **Improper duplication** — copy-pasted logic that should be shared; parallel implementations of the same behavior; magic numbers/strings repeated across files; test helpers duplicated instead of extracted when used in 2+ places in the same feature.
+3. **Important issues** — bugs, incorrect behavior, security flaws, race conditions, memory/event leaks, silent failure paths, broken error handling, type-safety holes (`as any`, unchecked `!`), data-loss risks.
+4. **Medium issues** — misleading names, poor module boundaries, over-engineered abstractions, missing validation on failure paths, tests that only assert implementation details, redundant double work (e.g. resolving options twice), constants scattered instead of centralized.
+
+If you find dead or duplicated code, **delete or consolidate it in this turn**. Do not leave it “for later” and do not only mention it in the summary.
+
+## Severity guide
+
+| Severity | Examples | Action |
+|----------|----------|--------|
+| **Important** | Bugs, security, leaks, races, silent failures | **Fix now** + add/regression test when behavior is non-trivial |
+| **Medium** | DRY violations, misnamed modules, dead exports, weak structure, redundant logic | **Fix now** |
+| **Low** | Subjective style, micro-naming, optional refactors with no clear win | Report only; skip unless trivial (<5 min) |
+
+When unsure between medium and low, **treat it as medium and fix it**.
+
+## Review checklist
+
+Evaluate against:
+
+- **DRY, KISS, SOLID** — prefer the smallest correct change; match existing repo patterns (see `.cursorrules`, `.cursor/rules/*.mdc`, `AGENTS.md`).
+- **Security** — auth boundaries, input validation, secrets, injection, unsafe HTML/DOM.
+- **Reliability** — no silent failures; error paths must fail visibly (throw, `TRPCError`, snackbar, error boundary — match the feature’s established pattern).
+- **Concurrency** — race conditions, stale closures, missing cleanup in effects/subscriptions/timers/workers.
+- **Resources** — event listeners, intervals, observers, workers, object URLs revoked on unmount/teardown.
+- **Types** — no `as any` / unchecked `!`; fix root cause instead of suppressing.
+- **Tests** — add or update tests when fixing behavior or preventing regression; skip tests that only duplicate TypeScript or constants.
+
+## Required workflow
+
+1. **Read** the changed files and their direct callers/tests.
+2. **Identify** issues; classify as important / medium / low.
+3. **Fix** all important and medium issues plus all dead/duplicated code **before** writing the final summary.
+4. **Run** targeted tests and lint on touched files (`pnpm test`, `pnpm lint` as appropriate).
+5. **Commit and push** if working on a branch with an open PR.
+
+Do **not** end with only a bullet list of recommendations when important/medium/dead-code fixes were possible in scope.
+
+## Output format
+
+Structure the final response as:
+
+1. **Fixes applied** — what you changed and why (group dead-code removal, deduplication, and behavioral fixes).
+2. **Left unchanged** — only low-priority or out-of-scope items, with brief rationale.
+3. **Verification** — tests/lint run and results.
+
+Keep prose concise; prefer code citations for non-obvious changes.

 ## Executive summary
 
-Extract the Thanos-style DOM disintegration effect from dStruct into a **framework-agnostic npm package** with an optional React adapter. The in-repo module is mature enough to extract: dual-layer masks, chunk bitmask worker, sprite rendering, 15+ mask strategies, warm capture, and explicit error types.

Subject: [PATCH 10/21] feat(domDisintegrate): zig-zag spark paths, longer
 travel, review fixes

- Retune flutter to slower sine waves keyed on time since release
- Boost lateral sway, reduce drag, extend buoyancy/fade, stronger launch
- Extract createTestDisintegrateParticle; fix padding double-resolve
- Fix stale turbulenceSeed comment; drop legacy .cursor/commands note

Subject: [PATCH 11/21] feat(domDisintegrate): faster zig-zag sparks with
 longer TTL

- Steer lateral velocity along a high-frequency sine for visible zig-zag legs
- Extend fade duration and buoyancy for longer flight before disappearing
- Widen canvas padding to account for zig-zag lateral extent

Subject: [PATCH 12/21] fix(domDisintegrate): natural per-particle spark
 turbulence

Replace synchronized sine steering with position-based turbulence:
per-particle frequency/phase/influence, vertical-travel-proportional
sway, and scattered launch velocities from spawn position.

Subject: [PATCH 13/21] fix(domDisintegrate): sustained upwind spark drift, no
 ballistic fall

- Remove gravity and decaying buoyancy from windy mode
- Apply constant per-particle lift plus shared global wind acceleration
- Align launch velocity with wind drift (up-right when wind blows right)
- Clamp downward velocity; turbulence affects lateral motion only

Subject: [PATCH 16/21] Add adaptive quality tiers for dom disintegrate on
 mobile

Detect device pressure from hardware concurrency, device memory,
coarse pointer, and prefers-reduced-motion. Apply tier-based
particleStep, maxDuration, and maxChunkMaskSteps when resolving
options with a target element. Bump particle stride further when
the surface grid exceeds per-tier cell budgets.

Subject: [PATCH 17/21] Keep full disintegrate quality on flagship phones like
 Nothing Phone 3

Do not downgrade tier for coarse pointer alone; score only CPU and
memory. High tier skips surface particle-step bumping so modern
mobile gets the same visual settings as desktop.

Subject: [PATCH 18/21] Optimize dom disintegrate hot path without visual
 regressions

- Use windy-specific travel bounds for canvas padding (~35% smaller buffer)
- Dirty-region canvas clears instead of full padded surface each frame
- Cache spark turbulence profile and lift factor on particles at spawn
- Skip physics for faded particles; pass resolved options into stepParticles
- Radial masks via CSS variables with radii write deduplication
- Skip redundant chunk mask DOM updates when frame index is unchanged
- Rely on scroll/resize listeners for overlay sync instead of every rAF

Subject: [PATCH 19/21] Further dom disintegrate perf: warm chunk masks, active
 list, downsampled capture

- Prebuild chunk mask sequences during idle warm-up for chunks mode
- Reuse warm masks at dismiss when strategy matches (centerOut)
- Track active released particles to skip dead/unreleased in step/draw
- Use setTransform instead of save/restore per particle when rotating
- Downsample canvas before getImageData (~9x fewer pixels at step 3)
