Remake the portfolio as an interactive koi pond - #48

What changed

• Replaces the flat aquarium treatment with a photorealistic top-down garden pond, restrained Frutiger Aero glass, Y2K utility type, and subtle glitter.
• Uses PixiJS and the maintained Pixi Filters package for continuous texture-driven water refraction, a localized finger depression, and a purely refractive click wave.
• Animates both koi as deforming meshes with slow cruising, proximity-weighted steering, gradual velocity changes, depth tint, and soft optical shadows.
• Reframes the page around the stronger hook: I make stubborn software behave.
• Keeps the portfolio focused on Orchid.ai, Rakazo plus merged upstream work, linux-sonar, and HomeBot.
• Retains Iniuria.us work, open-source projects, contact, legacy concept routes, keyboard focus, and a static reduced-motion fallback.
• Prevents text selection while stirring the pond and removes the instructional water widget.

Visual QA

• Desktop at 1440 by 900: PASS
• Mobile at 390 by 844: PASS
• Hero, all four project states, About, Iniuria.us, supporting work, contact, and footer: PASS
• Continuous refraction, pointer response, click wave, koi deformation, gradual steering, depth treatment, and viewport bounds: PASS
• Real pointer drag leaves no text selection; the fish reaction decays back to idle: PASS
• Reduced motion and horizontal overflow: PASS
• Tailnet production preview: PASS

Verification

• npm run lint -- --quiet: passed.
• npx tsc --noEmit: passed.
• npm run build: passed with 16 statically rendered pages.
• Portfolio browser tests: 4 passed, including pointer response, selection suppression, widget removal, reduced motion, responsive project navigation, and legacy routes.
• Fresh production screenshots inspected after the final motion pass.
• Final git diff --check: clean.

This stays open for visual approval. The production preview remains available on the existing tailnet URL.
