feat(web): add flowing light strands to the homepage

[Zach Dunn (zachdunn)]

In plain terms

Add flowing colored light strands behind the uploads.sh homepage, using the Stream animation from the Flow lab. The existing copy, layout, and actions stay unchanged.

What it does / what it is not

• Uses 16 strands and the Solar palette, with spread 0.45, movement 0.30, pulse speed 0.70, glow 1.45, line weight 1.70, pulse length 0.15, and depth 0.45.
• Enables pointer depth and forward pulses. A dimmed region behind the reading column preserves text readability.
• Renders a static frame for reduced motion and suspends animation while the page is hidden.
• Changes only the homepage background; no copy, API, authentication, or CLI changes.

How to try it

Run pnpm dev:web in the repository and open the homepage. Check desktop and mobile widths, move the pointer, and enable the system's reduced-motion preference.

Desktop and mobile screenshots are attached in the managed screenshots comment.

Technical notes

The decorative canvas uses the demo's Stream curves and pulse rendering without its configuration panel or browser storage. It caps pixel density at 2 and cleans up animation frames, observers, and listeners on Astro navigation.

Test plan

• Desktop and mobile visual review; no horizontal overflow at 390px.
• Reduced-motion browser check: successive screenshots are identical.
• Manual lifecycle harness: pixel-density cap, hidden-tab pause/resume, reduced motion, resize, and cleanup.
• pnpm --filter @uploads/web exec astro check — no errors or warnings; existing hints remain.
• pnpm --filter @uploads/web exec tsc -p tsconfig.worker.json --noEmit.
• Targeted oxlint, oxfmt, Prettier, and git diff --check.
• pnpm --filter @uploads/web build.
