/* Zeal Publishers — the Audiobook Cost & Path Planner (Job 9).
 * A living waveform: the hero's bars breathe, the calculator's track grows with the finished hours,
 * and each path card plays its own short sweep when it appears. A real countdown to the end of 2026
 * (ACX's "by end of year"). Motion is transform/opacity; reduced motion lands in final states. */
