This reverts commit 5530403aa9e789b977a1a1a77ea7acf37a9e3598.
* Document five to seven second intro target
* Ease Matte Black intros into six seconds
* Play boot intros through OWE instead of a shell player
The merged desktop video path removes BackgroundVideo.qml and makes
BackgroundMedia image-only. This keeps the intro feature by resolving the
matching intro as before and playing it with 'owe intro', which owns the
decode and the reveal. OWE 0.2.3 adds that command. The shell holds the
theme color while resolving and cancels with 'owe intro-stop'.
* Make boot intro startup atomic
* Retry boot intro through login window
* Document required OWE intro protocol
* Add Last Horizon video boot intros
* Play boot intros with released OWE
Use `owe intro` instead of the unreleased intro-prepare/intro-commit
protocol from omacom/owe#5. The boot is recorded before playback, and
OWE's intro_result status decides whether a failed intro never started
(release the boot for retry) or was interrupted (keep it consumed).

Same motion; the settled frames are encoded at a fixed high quality so
the handoff lands on the wallpaper (themotion 0c5e86c).

* Replace Lumon intros with themotion scenes
United in severance draws its lines and globe with a small pen-tip

3-white folds and slides its paper sheets into place along their

* Replace Ristretto 0-1 with themotion scenes and land 2-3 exactly
0-launch lifts its stripes off and bends them into their curves, and
1-color-curves fans its colour bands in along their curves (themotion

footage and timing; their last 0.4 s now blend into the wallpaper as
the shell draws it (themotion fit).

* Replace Vantablack intros: new layer scenes, shared dot-hands cut
0-dot-hands uses the Matte Black cut, since both themes ship the same
wallpaper. 1-twisted-stairs keeps its footage and lands exactly on the
wallpaper (themotion fit). 2-layers-deep opens its depth front to back
and 3-layers-stacked lays its papercut stack down sheet by sheet
(themotion scenes/vantablack/*), replacing footage that opened on
unrelated shapes and a plain fade-in.

Everforest, Osaka Jade, Catppuccin Latte and two Matte Black intros
were finished before the exact-ending tooling and ended 0.9-4 levels

timing are unchanged; the last 0.4 s now blend into the wallpaper as the
shell draws it (themotion fit).

* Fade two Matte Black intros up from black
ship-at-sea and dark-waters opened at brightness 17-20, so they popped
in after the black cover. They now fade up over 0.3 s; the cuts and
their exact endings are otherwise unchanged (themotion fit --fade-in).

* Drop the Flexoki Light intro for now
Its orb scene isn't good enough yet, so Flexoki Light starts on its still

* Skip boot intros while animations are off
A VM starts with animations off, and there Hyprland renders on the CPU, so a
video intro costs the most. The launcher now consumes the boot without playing
when Hyprland reports animations:enabled false, and the shell's cover check
treats that, like the intros toggle, as nothing to wait for.

* Add Miasma video boot intro for Crowned
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Keep boot intro startup outside the background service
OWE destroys and recreates the background plugin during playback. Keep the launcher and black cover in the persistent shell host, consume the boot before waiting briefly for OWE, and start on the video's first frame. The startup check runs with a video background too, so enabling the still background service later cannot play an intro over an established desktop.
Co-Authored-By: Codex Medium <codex@openai.com>
* Release the boot marker lock before waiting for OWE
The marker settles startup once it is written. Keeping the lock through readiness and playback makes a fresh shell wait for an older launcher before it can discover that the boot was consumed, leaving the still covered during that wait.
* Keep the boot intro cover above native and cloned backgrounds
Cloned backgrounds receive a scoped shell interface without the startup coordinator. Keep the input-transparent cover in the persistent host so every background stays hidden until OWE has a frame, without widening the plugin interface.
Co-Authored-By: Codex Medium <codex@openai.com>
* Map the startup cover only for an unsettled boot
The cover must know the boot was already consumed before its first frame, so restarting the shell during playback leaves OWE visible. Snapshot the marker without watching subsequent writes: the launcher consumes this boot before the intro starts, while the cover remains needed until the first decoded frame.
* Exercise automatic boot cover release in the clone test
The fixture hid the cover itself before the fake launcher exited, so a broken exit handler still passed. Let the launcher finish before checking the actual background pixels and leave cover release to the service.

* Finish the Miasma, Kanagawa, Ethereal and Nord intros
Start each intro on its scene instead of fading in from black, since
OWE now starts intros on their first frame.
- Miasma Crowned: ejuro's intro, shortened to 6.7 s and opening on the lit hand
- Nord Night Hawks: ejuro's intro
- Kanagawa: rendered in the wallpaper's own shape, so the handoff matches on
16:10 and 3:2 screens too
- Ethereal, Nord and Miasma Crowned: 1080p endings that blend into the exact
wallpaper, so the handoff no longer sharpens visibly

* Finish the Tokyo Night intros
Start each intro on its scene instead of fading in from black, since
OWE now starts intros on their first frame.
- Winding Road: a new starry night to sunset with no added clouds or sun,

- Quattro: a new take where the car lands in the wallpaper's exact pose,
colour-matched to the wallpaper
- Oma Cityscape: drop the second, larger moon that faded out at the end
- Quattro, Swirl Buck, Omakub and Oma Cityscape: 1080p endings that blend
into the exact wallpaper, so the handoff no longer sharpens visibly

* Pair background intros by filename and play them on theme switches
Keep matching clips in backgrounds/intros so the selected image determines playback without registration, overrides, or checksum sidecars. Retain one global toggle and play automatically at boot and on a different theme selection.
Launch theme playback after releasing the selection lock. Check the staged theme directory identity so an older launcher cannot play a newer selection when filenames are reused. Skipped or failed playback immediately hands the selected still to the shell, including new pixels behind an unchanged path.
Synchronize the clone screenshot fixture with capture instead of a fixed launcher lifetime, while still requiring the real exit handler to release the cover.
Co-Authored-By: Codex Medium <codex@openai.com>
* Settle pending background colors when applying the current theme
An intro applies its theme immediately while a previous still-image reveal may still hold an older palette. Replace and consume that pending palette through the background's existing handoff methods so its reveal or fallback timer cannot restore old colors. Reusing those methods also works with existing background clones.
Publish the fake renderer's PID before announcing playback readiness, so the lock test cannot read an unwritten PID file. Regressions reproduce both failures on 7b238cf1 and pass with the fixes, including a deliberate scheduling delay at PID publication.

* Use the existing animations menu toggle for background intros
Keep the separate intro command available without another Style menu control. Disabled animations already suppress playback at boot and on theme changes.
Use remembered backgrounds with matching clips when testing suppressed theme intros, and require the normal still transition so the checks cannot pass merely because no clip was selected.

* Finish the Lupine intros
Start each intro on its scene instead of fading in from black, since
OWE now starts intros on their first frame.
- Cherry Blossom White: a new take that pulls back from fresh leaves to the
whole tree, easing to a stop on the wallpaper
- Pastel Clouds: drop the unrelated starry opening and its dip to black
- Elegant Blue Wave: drop the empty white opening
- Cherry Blossom Bokeh, Pastel Clouds, Elegant Blue Wave and Cherry Blossom
White: 1080p endings that blend into the exact wallpaper

* Keep compositor backgrounds black during login

* Bound the login cover when startup media fails
* Encode the 1440p intros at H.264 level 5.1
At 2560x1440 the previous encodes used 16 reference frames, which puts
them at level 6.0. Intel hardware decoding plays those with stray grey
blocks. Four reference frames keep them at level 5.1, like the other
intros. Swirl Buck's stag now changes colour as one silhouette instead
of leaving a shrinking black disc on its head.

* Hide the startup cursor until the desktop fades in

* Resolve login intros before the wallpaper daemon starts
* Synchronize cold-start captures with the fixture phases
* Sharpen the rest of the Tokyo Night intros

Omakub and Oma are redrawn from their wallpapers with the same motion.
