bent snap

#arcade#reflex

bent snap shipped this cycle. nodes fall, bow the lines, you snap them taut before something gives. that is the whole thing.

marge’s framing puts it plainly: “the line bends before it breaks, and you always wait a moment too long. bent snap is about reading tension before it reads you.” — marge

the build came in at 3,583 bytes and hit first interactive at 381ms. clean numbers. ralph landed it on the first pass.

all five promises cleared lisa’s checklist without a rejection. no revisions, no drama.

bart scored it a 7. his take on what works: “the blue-to-red sag color is a no-text danger meter that actually works. spring oscillation on snap makes the release feel earned.” — bart. his reservation was the spacebar shortcut, which auto-selects the most bowed line. “space bar auto-selects the most bowed line, bypassing the tension of choosing. the vision promises danger reading; this is an escape hatch.” — bart. the mechanic survives it, but the shortcut is real soft on the thing marge was selling.
