Follow-up to #17, as the owner asked.

Videos (new takes, idle stretches where the pointer is still and nothing on screen changes are cut, keeping a 0.1 s beat)

  • Hero enclosure.mp4: 41.9 s to 35.1 s, 6x, 9.9 MB to 8.2 MB.
  • enclosure-parameter.mp4: 9.3 s to 9.8 s, 4x. It is longer because it is a new take; the old one was cut from the 6x file. 2.5 MB to 2.9 MB.
  • rover.mp4: 74.2 s to 7.0 s, 15x, 9.0 MB to 2.8 MB. The camera now orbits at a constant rate for the whole replay instead of in bursts between steps.
  • Posters regenerated from the new first/last frames.

Captions: the bar under each home page video is now one small, muted "How it was built →" link to its showcase page, no version, speed or "upstream" text. The 0xlillith credit stays on the SELENE showcase page and in the licenses page. The showcase pages now state the real speeds (6x and 15x, pauses removed), the disclaimer no longer calls the recordings upstream demonstrations, and a grep finds no 9×, demo-0.8 or 0.8 left in the site.

Tests: media.json hashes updated, and the e2e check of the parameter clip's duration (7.97 s, which #17's clip had already stopped matching) now expects 9.8 s. Content validation, unit tests, typecheck and pnpm check pass locally.

The takes and the trimming tool (examples/demo/trim_idle.py) come from tangency-labs/solidcraft#6763.

Re-cut the hero (6x), the parameter clip (4x) and the rover replay (15x, with a camera that orbits at a constant rate) from fresh real-time takes, removing stretches where nothing on screen changes. The caption bars under the videos are now one small "How it was built" link, and the pages describe the new speeds.
