/* ========================================================================== tui-pages website - animated ASCII mountain background (chafa-rendered) The mountain background is JS-driven: tools/mountain.py renders 60 procedural 3D mountain-flyover PNG frames; chafa converts each to 80x24 ASCII; tools/build_mountain_js.py bundles them into static/js/mountain.js. static/js/mountain-bg.js cycles the frames at 12 fps into the
placeholder in index.html.
This CSS file:
- positions the frame as a full-screen top layer
- tints the dense characters rust-orange with text-shadow + glow
- adds a CRT scanline overlay
- disables the animation under prefers-reduced-motion
- swaps the tint for a soft sepia wash in light mode (paper & ink feel)
