Concurrent-Safe Animation (React 18)

Summary

Implement animation systems resilient to concurrent rendering and interrupted updates.

Key Capabilities

• Prevent animation glitches caused by re-entrancy.
• Coordinate animation timelines with render commits.
• Maintain stable layout measurements under transitions.

PhD-Level Challenges

• Prove animation continuity under interrupted renders.
• Model animation schedules as concurrent state machines.
• Evaluate trade-offs between animation fidelity and throughput.

Acceptance Criteria

• Demonstrate glitch-free animations under rapid updates.
• Provide tests for interrupted animation scenarios.
• Document synchronization strategy with rendering.
