The question: Phase 0 of the Animation Engine's motion roadmap is "make scrolling feel effortless everywhere, and give every scroll-driven effect one shared clock." That raised two forks. (1) Where should the new inertia smooth-scroll live — a new engine module, or an extension of the theme's existing anchor-link "Smooth Scroll"? (2) How do we unify the scroll-reactive modules so they stay in lockstep — port them all to GSAP's ScrollTrigger, or reuse the engine's own shared animation loop?

The question: the Scroll Motion Custom Code (Motion Snippet) field lets an author hand-write GSAP, but a newcomer faces a blank editor with no idea of the API surface. A code generator would help — but how much of GSAP should it expose: everything (a general GSAP playground), or only what the field actually gives you?

The question: the Animated Icons extension has per-technology toggles (Lottie, Rive, Animated SVG, Animated raster). Should they live on the extension's own Settings page, or move into Theme Settings → Icons — perhaps as a new tab?

The question: the Animated icon kind plays Lottie animations from a URL/upload as raw Lottie JSON. Should it also accept .lottie (dotLottie) files, and would that help pages that show many animated icons at once?

The question: a reference site's scroll section plays as a sequence of batches — each batch is a set of photos that scatters onto the surface, holds around a centered line of text, then scatters away as the next batch (with different photos and a different line) arrives. How do we build that so each batch has its own images, its own text, and its own entrance/exit — and stays editable in the builder?

The question: a reference site's scene sections look like a film camera slowly glides across the scene as you scroll — a genuinely cinematic touch. Is that a real 3D camera move (rendered footage), and if not, how do we reproduce it in UnysonPlus without baking a video?
