The 85s v2 intro plays click-to-play in the phone mockup with fully custom
controls (play/pause, green seek bar, live timecode, mute, fullscreen) — no
loop, pause on close, Esc/backdrop/X to dismiss. Opens with sound on the cover
click (user gesture); falls back to muted autoplay if the browser blocks it.
- Transcoded the 163 MB / ~15 Mbps export -> 10.8 MB (720x1280, H.264 CRF 28,
+faststart) so it only downloads when a visitor opts in (preload=metadata).
- Poster = a v2 frame grabbed from the video (drflask-poster.jpg, ~60 KB).
- Source 163 MB master stays untracked in docs/character/.
Verified live via Playwright: video loads (readyState 4, 85s), autoplays on
open, timecode/seek-fill track, play/pause + mute buttons both toggle state.
