Full changelog

Eviland Live — the MilkDrop rip-off. A new default visualizer that renders the actual MilkDrop engine (butterchurn) as its warp/zoom/decay field and composites NewAmp's causal per-instrument reactor on top — kick rings, snare spike-stars, hat sparkles, vocal blobs, and a bass terrain glow — as a transparent additive overlay. MilkDrop's animations, NewAmp's ears. Picks degrade gracefully: worst case you just get plain MilkDrop.

Added

Eviland Live (new default visualizer) — real MilkDrop field + our per-instrument reactor overlay.
Redesigned transport buttons — crisp inline-SVG play/pause/prev/next/stop/shuffle/repeat with a play↔pause crossfade, springy press, an audio-reactive glow on the play button, and WCAG 2.2 toggle semantics.

Changed

Visualizer interaction — double-click toggles fullscreen↔windowed (was: exit); Esc or right-click exits.
Cinema mode now fully hides the bottom transport (title, scrubber, prev/play/next) and reveals it on hover / cursor-near-bottom.
Detach is now a standard toolbar control, not buried in Eviland's settings.
Eviland (engine) de-collapsed — Director on by default; the randomizer's multi-hue palette now actually drives rendered color (it was ignored before, so everything rendered in the theme's single accent hue — the "pink"); oscilloscope on by default; kick-zoom bounce, central "sun", and wash-to-accent force all dialed back.

Fixed

MilkDrop no longer stutters between presets — rotation weighted by real switch cost (enabled shapes/waves = the megabuffer allocation storm, not equation length), lighter warp mesh, and a render gap around the synchronous shader compile.
Text readable across all 14 themes — raised failing --muted values, added an accent-text token so accent-colored labels pass contrast on light themes, fixed the terminal theme (body text was ~1.2:1), and made the visualizer overlay labels theme-aware.

Visual results were verified to build/render/boot via automated smokes; the look itself is best confirmed on real hardware. The ui-visualizer smoke probe is pre-existing-stale (predates the toolbar→popover redesign) and is tracked for a follow-up rewrite.
