Location:src/app/features/lotus/backgrounds/animFireflies.css.ts, animRain.css.ts, animPulse.css.ts, animAurora.css.ts vs. LOTUS_FEATURES.md "Animation Improvements (June 2026)"
Problem
LOTUS_FEATURES.md claims each animated chat background received a secondary glow/blink/brightness keyframe layered on top of its base drift (e.g. animFirefliesGlowKeyframe, animFirefliesBlinkKeyframe, animGridBrightnessKeyframe) running at deliberately unsynchronized ("prime ratio") periods. The actual files define only a single drift keyframe per background (e.g. firefliesDrift) with one animation shorthand — no such secondary keyframes exist anywhere in backgrounds/. Shipped behavior is materially simpler than documented.
How to trigger
Compare the changelog text to the keyframe files directly.
Suggested fix
Update LOTUS_FEATURES.md to match shipped behavior, or implement the missing secondary keyframes if they were actually intended to ship.

### Problem
`LOTUS_FEATURES.md` claims each animated chat background received a secondary glow/blink/brightness keyframe layered on top of its base drift (e.g. `animFirefliesGlowKeyframe`, `animFirefliesBlinkKeyframe`, `animGridBrightnessKeyframe`) running at deliberately unsynchronized ("prime ratio") periods. The actual files define only a single drift keyframe per background (e.g. `firefliesDrift`) with one `animation` shorthand — no such secondary keyframes exist anywhere in `backgrounds/`. Shipped behavior is materially simpler than documented.
