/**
* The signature: a case-study reel. A panel in the studio's ink blue, inset to the page column
* under the wordmark, holds a browser window and, beside it, a rail of the four projects; the
* window plays the studio's client sites in turn. For each one the address bar types the
* client's domain, a load line runs under the toolbar, and the drawn site comes in, its lines
* rising 80ms apart; it holds, and the next one types. It starts on its own a beat after it is
* in view, plays the four once and rests on the last, with Replay.
*
* Everything is one clock (`clock`, ms) that runs only while the panel is on screen, the tab is
* visible and the reel is playing, so it pauses itself offscreen and the pause button (rule 85)
* just stops the clock. The address bar, the page and the tabs' progress lines are all read
* from the clock. Reduced motion shows one still: the first site, loaded, with the tabs to
* switch sites and no clock.
