admin 80ff51a1ee Task 3: Build second and third heartbeats with overflow branching

- Second heartbeat: R peak 60px, color shifts green→teal (#00C9A7), bg lightens to #0A0A0A
- Third heartbeat: R peak 100px, full teal (#00897B), bg lightens to #141414
- Overflow branching from third R peak apex: 7 SVG branch paths trace UI outlines
  - Branch 1: pill nav bar rounded rectangle at top center
  - Branches 2-3: hero section left/right edges
  - Branches 4-7: four vital sign card outlines
- Branches staggered by 50-150ms with cubic-bezier easing (800ms draw)
- Background transitions rapidly from near-black to white during branching
- All SVG lines fade out over 500ms, overlays removed from DOM, CV content revealed
- Glow filter dynamically matched to stroke color (green→teal)
- Total animation timing ~8.5s (within 8-9s guardrail)

Ralph Wiggum Loop - Generic Software Template

A PowerShell outer loop that repeatedly invokes Claude Code with fresh context each iteration. Memory persists via filesystem only: git commits, progress.txt, and IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md.

How It Works

ralph.ps1 pipes RALPH_PROMPT.md to claude --print in a loop
Each iteration, Claude reads IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md, picks the first unchecked task, implements it, commits, and updates progress.txt
When all tasks are checked off, Claude outputs <promise>COMPLETE</promise> and the loop exits
No context accumulates between iterations - each one starts clean

Setup

Copy this template folder into your project directory
Edit IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md:
- Fill in the Project Overview section
- Add your Quality Checks commands (e.g. npm test, dotnet build)
- List your Tasks as - [ ] checklist items in priority order
Ensure claude CLI is available on your PATH

Usage

Basic run:

.\ralph.ps1

With options:

.\ralph.ps1 -MaxIterations 15 -Model sonnet -BranchName "feature/my-feature"

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
`-MaxIterations`	10	Maximum loop iterations before stopping
`-Model`	sonnet	Claude model to use
`-BranchName`	(none)	Git branch to create/checkout before starting

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	All tasks completed
1	Max iterations reached without completing all tasks

Files

File	Purpose
`ralph.ps1`	PowerShell outer loop script
`RALPH_PROMPT.md`	Prompt template piped to Claude each iteration
`IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md`	Task checklist and project config (you edit this)
`progress.txt`	Accumulated learnings and iteration log (auto-populated)

Git Behaviour

The script initialises a git repo if one doesn't exist
Creates/checks out -BranchName if provided
Pushes to remote after each iteration (silently skips if no remote configured)
Claude commits after implementing each task and after updating progress files
