Overview

The body has a permanent scanline overlay, an opacity flicker animation starting after 30 s, an animated corner data-stream, and a boot-sequence overlay once per session. None respect prefers-reduced-motion, and there is no toggle. On long monitoring sessions the flicker is distracting, and on low-end devices the full-screen animated overlay costs CPU.

Suggested fix

Wrap effects in @media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference) and add a small "FX" toggle persisted in localStorage.
