Recovering a stranded tail from #825

#825 merged at 63538b75c while a further commit was being pushed to its branch, so b8a38e2e1 never landed. This carries it.

Confirmed by content, not by ancestry — a squash merge makes every ancestry check unsound:

$ git log --oneline 63538b75c..b8a38e2e1
b8a38e2e1 test(root): settle a zero-duration endless animation instead of refusing

$ git grep -F -e "if (duration === 0) {" 7a4e3213c -- e2e/.../geometry-settle-matches-the-canvas.test.ts
(no output — ABSENT from the merge commit)

$ git grep -F -e "if (duration === 0) {" b8a38e2e1 -- e2e/.../geometry-settle-matches-the-canvas.test.ts
(present — so the search is capable, and the absence above is real)

node scripts/verify-merge.mjs 825 independently names the same candidate.

What was lost

Two review findings answered on #825 whose fixes did not reach main:

1. 0 * Infinity is NaN (comment 3789090146). animation: grow 0s infinite is valid CSS whose edge never travels, and the probe refused it as "a duration that is not a time this test could parse" — the wrong cause, sending a reader to hunt a malformed value that does not exist. Zero duration is now handled before the multiplication, and the DELAY still counts because a delayed instantaneous animation applies its end state when the delay elapses.

2. poc-driver.ts carried an obsolete rationale (P1, comment 3789090147). It said IframeCanvas transitions a drop zone's height over 100ms and that the guard parses the stylesheet. Both false: the between-item zone is position: absolute at a fixed height: 6px transitioning only background, the empty placeholder declares no transition at all, and the guard has measured through getComputedStyle since #825 replaced the regex reader.

That second one is why this is worth recovering promptly rather than folding into later work: the next change to this file lowers POC_GEOMETRY_SETTLE_MS, and the stale text names a 100ms animation as the reason for the current value — the exact false floor that would justify leaving it alone.

Evidence

24/24 green on this base. The zero-duration control asserts the population first (animationDuration === "0s" AND animationIterationCount === "infinite"), because a rule that failed to apply or a count the browser normalised would leave it measuring an ordinary animation. With the guard removed it fails with the wrong-cause message above.

Known red, and not mine to fix here

@nextlyhq/e2e#check-types fails on main with TS2339: Property 'animationTimeline' does not exist on type 'CSSStyleDeclaration', from #825. Turbo cached the task so it reported success without ever running; I reproduced it with --force on a clean worktree off main.

It is my defect. The fix is already in #832 using getPropertyValue("animation-timeline"), which is the correct CSSOM accessor rather than a cast, so this PR does not duplicate it and will rebase once that lands. Filed separately: a cached check reporting success without running is a CI-integrity gap that AGENTS.md documents for humans and nothing enforces.

No changeset: e2e/ only.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The canvas animation span calculation now handles zero-duration infinite animations without producing NaN. The end-to-end test verifies delay measurement. Driver comments now describe measured geometry spans and current static drop-zone geometry.

Changes

Animation settling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Zero-duration animation span handling
e2e/tests/canvas/geometry-settle-matches-the-canvas.test.ts
Zero-duration animations now contribute only their delay before iteration multiplication. An end-to-end test verifies a 400 ms span for an infinite zero-duration animation.
Measured geometry settling documentation
e2e/tests/canvas/poc-driver.ts
Documentation now states that settling uses measured canvas spans. It also records that current drop-zone geometry is static and that the allowance covers future movement and frame timing.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2546b

The change adds zero-duration animation handling, but its end-to-end control may not produce the claimed delayed geometry span because the default fill mode does not retain the post-delay state. This is a bounded test-correctness risk requiring owner follow-up.

Merged main (not rebased) at 0efc8f52c, so #832's getPropertyValue("animation-timeline") fix is in and the TS2339 this PR inherited is gone.

Merged rather than rebased deliberately. A rebase needs a non-fast-forward push, GitHub records head_ref_force_pushed, and verifying-merged-work.md treats that as permanently disqualifying for the stranded-tail check — which would be a poor trade on a PR that exists because a tail was stranded.

Verified with --force, because the cached green on this package is a REPLAY. turbo.jsonc hashes src/** and e2e has no src/; 29 of its 31 modules live under tests/, matching no input glob. This PR changed only files there, so its @nextlyhq/e2e#check-types green was never a run:

$ pnpm turbo run check-types --filter=@nextlyhq/e2e --force
@nextlyhq/e2e:check-types: cache bypass, force executing e2f45f80054274ba
 Tasks: 1 successful, 1 total

Incidentally confirming the mechanism: the key moved from ee8f6c8860611a0a to e2f45f80054274ba only because the merge brought in a top-level e2e/flaky-reporter.ts, which *.{ts,tsx,mts,cts} does match. Nothing under tests/ has ever moved it.

That property is filed and claimed by another lane (tasks/left-tasks/2026-08-16-0300-...), and #858 is the fix.

24/24 green on the new base.

P2 Badge Respect fill mode before charging a zero-duration delay

With this exact fixture, animation-fill-mode remains its default none, so the zero-duration effect has an empty active interval and its keyframes do not alter the edge before or after the 400 ms delay; only fill modes such as forwards, backwards, or both could make that delayed instant observable. Returning the delay unconditionally therefore reports movement the canvas cannot produce and can reject a valid settle allowance if such a harmless declaration is added. Fresh evidence beyond the earlier delay review is that the revised fixture still never sets or verifies a fill mode; either make the control observable with a fill mode and account for that longhand, or return zero for none.

P3 Badge Describe animation timing as conservative accounting

In the inspected guard, this statement is not true for CSS animations: geometrySpanMs can read only the animation name and timing longhands and explicitly cannot inspect keyframes, so it charges even an opacity-only animation as geometry movement. A maintainer following this new rationale could pin that paint-only duration or retain/raise geometrySettleMs despite no edge moving; describe the animation path as conservative computed-timing accounting rather than a measurement of movement.

🌐 Web query:

CSS Animations specification zero duration animation-delay animation-fill-mode none active interval

💡 Result:

According to the CSS Animations specification, when an animation has a duration of 0s, the animation still technically occurs—it fires the animationstart and animationend events—but the keyframes themselves have no visual effect if the animation-fill-mode is set to none [1][2][3]. The behavior for a 0s animation duration is determined by the animation-fill-mode property: 1. None: The animation has no visible effect, as it does not apply any styles before or after its instantaneous execution [2][3]. 2. Backwards or Both: During the animation-delay period (if any), the first frame of the animation (as defined by animation-direction) is displayed [1][2][3]. 3. Forwards or Both: After the animation-delay expires, the last frame of the animation is displayed [1][2][3]. In summary, when animation-duration is 0s and animation-fill-mode is none, the animation produces no visible output because the keyframes are skipped and no fill states are applied [2][3]. If you require the animation to show a specific state despite a 0s duration, you must use a fill mode other than none [2][3].

🌐 Web query:

CSS Animations zero duration infinite iteration-count forwards fill mode active duration 0 Infinity

💡 Result:

In CSS animations, when an animation has an animation-duration of 0s, the animation is treated as having completed instantaneously [1][2][3]. Regardless of the animation-iteration-count, the animation triggers both start and end events immediately [1][2][3]. For the specific combination of animation-duration: 0s, animation-iteration-count: infinite, and animation-fill-mode: forwards, the following behavior occurs: 1. Timing and Execution: Because the duration is 0s, the animation is considered to have finished immediately [2][3]. 2. Fill Mode Application: With animation-fill-mode: forwards (or both), the browser applies the styles defined by the last keyframe of the animation after the instantaneous execution finishes [1][2][3]. 3. Interaction with Iteration Count: While infinite normally implies an animation that never ends, the 0s duration overrides this in practice by making the single "cycle" instantaneous [2]. Because the animation is defined as having finished, the forwards fill mode dictates that the final state (the last keyframe) is applied and retained [2][4]. Essentially, the animation behaves as if it ran exactly once and reached its end state immediately [2][3]. There is no "infinite" cycling visible because the time required to complete any iteration is zero [2]. This behavior is specified to resolve the indeterminate nature of a 0s duration combined with an infinite iteration count [2][5].

Account for animation-fill-mode in zero-duration animations.

The control uses the default animation-fill-mode: none, so animation: nx-instant 0s .4s infinite has no visible effect. It cannot justify the asserted 400 ms geometry span. Charge the zero-duration delay only when the computed fill mode applies the post-delay frame. Set the control to infinite forwards and assert style.animationFillMode.
