When to use it

Nature or ambient backgrounds, spa/wellness UIs, loading screens needing calm organic motion.

When not to

Light-background layouts (background hardcoded dark teal). Contexts where click events must not be intercepted by the canvas.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change ripple color from rgba(170,230,255) to a warm gold rgba(255,210,120), increase expansion speed from 2.2 to 3.5, and raise max concurrent ripples from 16 to 24. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

ripple color (rgba(170,230,255,...))
expansion speed (p.r += 2.2)
max ripple pool size (R.length > 16)
auto-drop interval (42 + random*55)
mount pre-seed (3 ripples at staggered ages)
caustic shimmer opacity (0.05 + 0.03*sin)
theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

DPR-aware canvas sizing with setTransform
visibilitychange pause/resume
prefers-reduced-motion guard (slower decay, no auto-drops)
theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

Background color hardcoded as dark teal in CSS — must edit to change theme
Auto-cycles by default; remove auto-drop block for purely on-demand interaction
