Summary

Brings the website and the design system in line with the editor's new UI direction carried by #814, and adds a making-of post for v2.

  • Scroll walkthrough (home page): Background drawn as a section of Composition (Animation row, blur amount), named levels for shadow and click bounce, free rows, no number on cursor size, candy timeline (clip in the brand's green with its real waveform, zooms in blue). The generator lifts levels and bounds from the app; check:recreation passes.
  • Showcase + docs: export panel shows the named destinations and Advanced, caption display language is a row of buttons; four docs pages describe the 3D camera, speed presets, cursor settings, export destinations and background animation/blur. Propagated to the 7 locales.
  • Blog: "Making of v2: a demo is never ugly" (English only, as the blog is).
  • Design system (design/): ChoiceRow component, named levels, free rows, no hint text, candy timeline pills; tokens/v4.css re-exports the app tokens verbatim again.

Test plan

  • node scripts/gen-recreation.mjs --check, website tsc --noEmit
  • docusaurus build --locale en, no broken links
  • Walkthrough screenshots at 1440 and 1280, dark and light
  • npm run i18n:check: nothing flagged from this change (14 older files still behind)
  • The claude.ai Design System needs a republish to show the component changes

    • Revised export instructions to use destination presets, with format and quality options under Advanced.

…ction

Background is a section of Composition with its Animation row and a blur
amount; shadow and click bounce are named levels; settings are free rows;
cursor size shows no number. The timeline wears the app's candy cards: the
clip in the brand's green with its real waveform, zooms in blue. The
generator lifts the levels and bounds from the app, as before.
ChoiceRow for fixed choices, named levels, free rows, no hint text under
settings, candy timeline pills with the clip in green and zooms in blue.
tokens/v4.css re-exports the app's tokens verbatim again.
The showcase's export panel shows the named destinations and Advanced, and
the caption display language is a row of buttons. The docs name the 3D
camera, the speed preset row, the cursor settings, the export destinations
and the background animation and blur.

The walkthrough and some instructions do not yet match the updated editor controls. These are bounded presentation and guidance issues, so the change is mergeable with follow-up.

In @website/docs/editing-timeline.md:
- Line 75: Update the speed instructions in all English and localized
product-demo guides to match the editor documentation: presets are 0.5×, 1×,
1.5×, 2×, and 4×, and numeric input ranges from 0.25× to 16×. Locate the guides
by their product-demo content and preserve their existing language and
formatting.

In @website/i18n/es/docusaurus-plugin-content-pages/features/auto-zoom.mdx:
- Line 64: Update the remaining zoom-control wording in the page to refer to the
camera setting instead of “inclinación,” matching the camera modes described in
the “Cámara 3D” text.

In @website/src/components/Recreation/styles.module.css:
- Around line 524-525: Update the wallpaper grid rule in the recreation styles
to use eight columns and a 5px gap, so the 11 wallpaper tiles and upload tile
follow the specified layout.

…de and auto zoom page

The product demo guide still listed speed presets from 0.25x to 5x and a
field up to 100x, and the auto zoom page still called the 3D camera a tilt.
Both fixed in every locale.
