This PR adds an extremely important feature that @edpratti and I have been cooking up for years now...

A small animation for a single button on the website:

New Features

  • Added a reusable bowtie-styled button supporting links, icons, and text.

Changes

Bowtie button

Layer / File(s) Summary
Button structure and visual layers
src/components/bowtie-button/bowtie-button.astro, src/components/bowtie-button/bowtie-button.module.scss
Adds button props, slotted content, decorative layers, themed colors, focus styling, hover and active states, and the repeated bowtie SVG background.
Animation and input handling
src/components/bowtie-button/bowtie-button-script.ts
Synchronizes Web Animations API progress with SVG frames. Handles pointer and keyboard presses, reversals, pointer capture loss, focus loss, and document visibility changes.
Hero action integration
src/components/hero/hero.astro
Uses BowtieButton for the Discord action while preserving its URL, icon, and translated label.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 62225

Keyboard activation may leave the button’s animation hidden while it runs, and inconsistent theme state handling could select the wrong visual frame. The change is otherwise localized and mergeable with explicit follow-up on keyboard behavior and theme alignment.

158-180: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Expose .bowtieVisibility during keyboard presses.

When activeKeys is non-empty, add a pressed class or data attribute to el and include it in the .bowtieVisibility selector. Otherwise, keyboard input can animate .bowties while its parent remains opacity: 0. Test Enter and Space with the pointer away from the link.

.bowtieVisibility includes that state. Preserve clearing the marker when
activeKeys becomes empty, and verify Enter and Space presses work while the
pointer is away from the link.
