A hero background grown out of the wordmark itself. Two reagents react and diffuse from the glyphs as the seed, and the front feeds outward into stripes — every load braids differently because nothing is keyframed.

/**
* A product hero whose ornament is grown, not drawn: the wordmark is nucleated into a
* Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion field and the pattern spreads out of the letters.
*
* du/dt = Du*lap(u) - u*v^2 + F*(1 - u)
* dv/dt = Dv*lap(v) + u*v^2 - (F + k)*v
*
* Integrated explicitly on a five-point Laplacian at unit grid spacing, which is stable
* while TAU*4*DU < 1 - here 0.576, comfortably inside it. The easy version of this
* picture is a blurred PNG of the letters with an opacity keyframe, and it cannot do the
* one thing that matters: the front is autocatalytic, so v eats the u it finds outside
* the glyphs and keeps going, splitting and merging in a way no curve encodes. Delete the
* solver and the letters stop growing anything.
*
* F 0.037 / k 0.060 is the labyrinth window: stripes one wavelength wide that advance
* into fresh u and braid around each other. Raise k to ~0.065 and the fronts pin into
* isolated spots that never leave the letters; drop it to ~0.055 and there is no window
* at all, v floods the whole field and the wordmark dissolves into a flat wash.

* re-render, the counter went 0 → 2, and the effect's dependency on it tore
* the live scene down and rebuilt it. Every scene was constructed, measured
* and warmed twice on every mount, four times under StrictMode in dev.
*
* The requirement this trades for that: a consumer must render the stage and
* the canvas unconditionally, in the same commit as the component itself. All
* thirteen do. Gating the canvas behind a flag would leave the effect bailing
* on the null guard with nothing to re-run it.
