- SplashScreen no longer re-checks neode_intro_seen itself: it silently
skipped the whole logo-tap/typing sequence for any browser that had
seen the intro before, even when App.vue explicitly requested it (demo
fresh visits, Replay Intro). App.vue is the single decision point.
- Intro video re-encoded 12.7MB/12.6Mbps → 4.3MB/4.2Mbps (1920x1080 CRF23
faststart, muted track dropped) — visually identical on this
illustrated content; cache-buster bumped to v=8.
- Video is <link rel=preload>ed the moment the splash is scheduled (the
<video> element only mounts ~20s in, so cold caches used to start the
download mid-sequence and stutter).
- nginx demo cache regex now covers mp4/webm/mp3/webp/woff2 so repeat
visits play from browser cache.
