# Warp Button

> A bordered button that jumps to warp speed on hover — a rotating gradient ring, two parallax layers of light-streaks scrolling past, a one-shot jump-flash, and a "Launch" → "Ready" warp text-swap. All driven by CSS hover and focus states, fully design-system agnostic.

## Features

- Rotating conic gradient ring that scales in and continuously spins via an `@property --bwr-angle` angle animation
- Warp-speed streak field — two parallax layers of light-streaks seamlessly scrolling past on a looping `background-position` animation
- One-shot jump-flash: a blurred light bloom sweeps across once as warp engages
- "Launch" stretch-blurs out and "Ready" materializes in from a compressed state (warp-in text swap)
- Subtle lift as the button engages, without an ambient glow
- Dark/light palette via `body.dark` class with no flicker
- Respects `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` — animations collapse and the streak field is hidden
- Zero JavaScript required for the button effect — pure CSS hover and focus-visible states

## Accessibility

- **Button label** — `<button>` has `aria-label="Launch"` matching its idle text
- **Theme toggle role** — `role="switch"` with `aria-checked` toggled by JS
- **Keyboard activation** — Theme toggle responds to `Enter` and `Space`
- **Focus indicators** — `:focus-visible` with `--ring` outline on all interactive elements
- **Hidden decorations** — Ring, streak field, and flash spans have `aria-hidden="true"`
- **Reduced motion** — `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce` disables all animations

## Keyboard shortcuts

- `Enter / Space` — Activate focused button or theme toggle
- `Tab` — Move focus between interactive elements
