## Features

- Spring-in bounce reveal — shapes pop from `scale(0.6)` to `1` with an overshoot cubic-bezier, animating `transform` and `opacity` only (GPU-composited)
- Staggered top-to-bottom cascade that loops continuously with a visible hold between cycles
- Profile-card layout — cover bar, overlapping avatar, name and handle lines, a three-column stats row, and a solid + ghost button row
- Click or press Enter/Space to replay the load-in animation
- All colors, spacing, and radii driven by design-system tokens
- Dark/light mode via the `body.dark` class
- Prefers-reduced-motion support — shapes settle static and visible
- Accessible: `role=status`, `aria-busy`, screen-reader loading label
