How does a GSAP timeline become builder options a non-coder can drive?

The question: the engine's model was one effect per element, each firing independently when it scrolls into view. A GSAP timeline is the opposite — several elements animating in a choreographed order with relative timing. How do you translate that into page-builder options a non-coder can drive, without shipping a keyframe editor or a code field?

Should Page Builder pages show the theme's page title?

The question: Builder pages started rendering the theme's page title as an H1 bar above the built content (so "every page has exactly one H1"). Was that a good default — or should the theme title simply be disabled whenever the Page Builder is used, leaving the per-page "Hide the page title" checkbox to classic-editor pages only?

3D Gallery Motion: a nested multi-picker (via a NEW key) plus CSS-sticky scroll pinning

The question: for the 3D Gallery's Scroll-scrub motion, should the gallery pin on screen while the visitor's scroll drives the animation (instead of scrolling past with only a sliver of movement visible)? And should the Motion options become a multi-picker so each mode reveals only its own settings?

Why cinematic scroll pages became a Scrollytelling layout, not a new module

The question: we keep building cinematic scroll-driven sites (a pinned "camera ride" frame-sequence background with full-screen text scenes keyed to scroll segments). Should that become a brand-new Animation Engine module / shortcode, or grow out of something that already exists — and either way, how does a typical builder user author one without touching code?

Why option-gating pickers use a new option id instead of migrating the old scalar

The question: I want the Design tab to show only the options that matter for the current choice — so layout_mode, card_style, pagination_type should become image-pickers that reveal their own sub-options. But those are existing selects with real saved data, and turning a select (a string) into a multi-picker (an array) is a value-shape change. How do I do that without breaking every already-saved Posts/Testimonials block?
