+    <!-- DEMO: the payoff of the picker above. Those three steps say how to connect
+         an outside agent; this is what it looks like when you do, consent screen
+         included - the part a reader does not take on faith. It also hands off to
+         the governance section directly below, which is the same grant stated as a
+         claim rather than shown.
+         Autoplaying muted loop, the same treatment the install animation uses. The
+         controls stay on for one reason: at 57 seconds this runs long enough that
+         moving content needs a way to stop it, and the play/pause button is it.
+         Browsers pause an offscreen muted autoplay video by themselves, so there is
+         no observer here, and no preload hint either - autoplay settles that. The
+         poster still earns its place as the first paint before playback starts.
+         WebM only, and no MP4 fallback: full WebM support starts at Safari 16 and
+         iOS 17.4, which leaves 1.1% of global users out, and an H.264 copy costs
+         1.9MB to reach them - more than the WebM itself, on a video that now
+         autoplays for everyone. Those readers get the poster and a play button that
+         does nothing, which is the trade. Kept as a <source> with a type rather than
+         src on the video so a browser that cannot play WebM never fetches it.
+         The recording has no audio track at all, so muted is both the autoplay
+         precondition and the truth, and playsinline stops iOS taking it fullscreen.
+         pb-0 for the same reason the hero has it: these three sections are all
+         transparent, so a boundary between them is space and nothing else, and each
+         one owning only its top padding keeps that space to a single 64px. Doubling
+         up here put 128px above the governance card while the card sat 64px above
+         the capabilities band, which reads as the card floating low in a gap rather
+         than as a section change. Doubling is for boundaries that also change
+         background, the way the capabilities band does. -->
