Accessibility
- Decorative: the canvas is aria-hidden and ignores pointer events, so content above it stays clickable.
- Fills its parent: give it absolute inset-0 inside a positioned element, with the text on top.
- Pauses off screen and in hidden tabs. Without WebGL2 it renders nothing, so keep a background color on the parent.
- Reduced motion draws one still frame.
