Landing eye: restraint pass — pull the rose-window way back - #21
Merged
Conversation
Owner feedback on the shipped hybrid: "too cheesy / too prominent." LULL's pillar is restraint over spectacle, so: - Drop the twelve rose-window spokes entirely. - Reduce the rim ring to a hairline hint (stroke .7->.4, opacity .4->.1) instead of a visible ornament. - Cut the cold glow back (opacity .55->.3) so it reads as a trace of light, not a bloom. - Shrink the whole eye (46vw/26rem -> 26vw/14rem) and dim it hard (opacity .14->.08) so it's a faint, cold, watching presence you almost don't notice until it opens — not a centerpiece. Scroll-driven aperture mechanic and the prefers-reduced-motion calm-hold are untouched (no JS changes); still cold, no warm/gold. Nothing else on the page touched.

Summary
Owner feedback on the just-shipped hybrid rose-window eye (#18): "too cheesy / too prominent." LULL's pillar is restraint over spectacle — this pulls it back hard:
.7→.4, opacity.4→.1)..55→.3, no more "bloom"), and the whole eye is shrunk (46vw/26rem→26vw/14rem) and dimmed hard (opacity.14→.08) — a faint, cold, watching presence you almost don't notice until it opens, not a centerpiece.circle(var(--lid) at 50% 50%), no JS touched) and theprefers-reduced-motioncalm-hold. Still cold — no warm/gold introduced. Nothing else on the page touched.Verified locally:
.eye-rose-spokesmarkup fully removed from the DOM, computed styles match the new values, and the--scroll-lid→clip-pathbinding still drives the aperture correctly.Test plan
