# Gsap Scroll

## Why and when

Tie one scrubbed timeline to scroll and register cleanup/refresh on resize. Work under the project's actual framework and browser constraints; do not assert this is implemented merely because a recipe exists.

## Implementation procedure

1. Inspect the current component and data flow; record constraints, user journey and existing integration.
2. Describe the mechanism: Tie one scrubbed timeline to scroll and register cleanup/refresh on resize. Choose the smallest API with well-defined ownership.
3. Create real code and testable state transitions; document dependencies, cleanup and errors.
4. Handle mobile and container width changes, reduced motion, RTL/LTR and keyboard where applicable.
5. Record a runnable example or a reproducible browser test in the target project.

## Specific pitfalls

Do not duplicate a scroll owner. Version-pin relevant APIs and do not silently override old behavior.

## Parent engine acceptance protocol

Define a single progress clock and ownership map; implement intro, sustain, exit and reversible seek; provide disabled-motion final state.

Seek normalized timeline at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and backward; assert no duplicate raf loops.

## Definition of done

- [ ] Mechanism present in production code and demonstrable.
- [ ] Test at real narrow viewport and at least one wide viewport.
- [ ] No inaccessible keyboard/pointer-only workflows.
- [ ] Reduced-motion/static fallback as relevant.
- [ ] Source/license provenance included for reused upstream code.
- [ ] Error/empty/unsupported state is visible and usable.
- [ ] Report tests actually run and any unverified claim.
