Visual behavior: A dark room with light under the door. Hover and the door falls ajar, spilling a wedge of light across the floor; press and it swings wide, with someone standing in the doorway.
Technique:
- The door turns about its hinge in perspective, in front of a bright panel.
- The light on the floor is one gradient whose clip-path polygon is transitioned between a sliver, a wedge through the gap and a full spill, so it always matches the door. The figure grows from the bright room as a second polygon casts its shadow forward.
Accessibility: A real button named Enter, with the scene aria-hidden. Keyboard focus sets the door ajar just as hover does. Under prefers-reduced-motion everything changes at once.
