ML noise suppression produced loud static on real calls. RNNoise requires
mono 48kHz float input; feeding it stereo or wrong-rate data is the classic
cause of that static. Harden the shim:
- request mono (channelCount:1) + 48kHz capture
- run a 48kHz AudioContext and BAIL to the raw mic if the browser won't
give a true 48kHz context (wrong-rate data -> static)
- force the worklet node to explicit mono in/out
- use the non-SIMD rnnoise.wasm (SIMD build artifacts on some GPUs)
- share one AudioContext across captures
Also fix the two CI-blocking eslint errors (unused vars in UrlPreviewCard
and useLocalMessageSearch) and apply repo-wide prettier formatting so
check:eslint and check:prettier pass.

- New Year: replace flashing animBurst rays with gentle falling confetti
- Lunar New Year: reduce 9 lanterns to 4, halve sizes, dim silk/shimmer
- April Fools: remove all glitch/scanline/watermark effects; replace
with a subtle rainbow stripe and falling punctuation symbols
- Add SeasonalPreview export (position:absolute, reduced-motion) for
use inside contained card elements
- Replace SettingsSelect dropdown for Seasonal Theme with SeasonalBgGrid,
a visual card grid (matches ChatBgGrid pattern) showing ambient previews

Adds 11 CSS-only seasonal overlays (Halloween, Christmas, New Year, Autumn,
April Fool's, Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Earth Day,
Deep Space, Retro Arcade) with date-based auto-detection and a manual override
dropdown in Settings → Appearance → Seasonal Theme. All themes respect
prefers-reduced-motion. SeasonalEffect mounts at z-index 9997 in App.tsx.
Also rewrites all 5 animated chat background keyframes for smoother, more
organic motion: Digital Rain gains a phosphor glow flicker; Star Drift now
loops each layer by exactly its own tile size (no more seam); Grid Pulse adds
an independent brightness oscillation at a prime period; Aurora Flow drives
all four gradient layers through distinct paths; Fireflies adds glow-pulse and
opacity-blink animations at prime periods for unsynchronised bioluminescence.

implementation details, file paths, and API notes
- LOTUS_BUGS.md: audit of confirmed bugs with root causes and fixes
- LOTUS_TODO_REFERENCE.md: technical implementation notes for backlog items
- LOTUS_TODO.md: trim completed audit results section, link to FEATURES doc
- README.md: rewrite to marketing-friendly feature list format; fix
incorrect claim that screenshare auto-reverts view to grid (removed)
Fix: auto-revert spotlight on screenshare was removed (600ms grid-click
caused fullscreen to show avatars); corrected in LOTUS_FEATURES.md and
removed from README.md.
