Gate the universe on one clip per altitude + connecting morphs (~126 MB, ~10-20s),
then grow the pool in the background. The random pick (pickPoolClip/pickRandomMember)
is restricted to fully-loaded clips — base + connecting morphs both ways cached
(HEFPreload.eligibleDestinations) — so a transition never stalls on un-downloaded
media and new clips become reachable only once fully loaded. Pure planner in
preload.js (+ node tests).

Pages caches .js/.css by type (max-age=14400) and ignores _headers for them, so
returning visitors ran stale JS (no-video/no-audio until a private window). index.html
is no-cache and now references app.js?v=<hash> etc., so a normal reload always gets
fresh code; media on R2 stays immutable.

CC BY / CC BY-SA footage needs its author + license shown to the viewer, and the
installation alters every frame (a derivative). Per-clip license/source already
shipped in clips.json but only surfaced in the dev panel and internal review
pages — the public experience showed nothing, so the static benstull.art site
was not attribution-compliant.
Option A — add a manifest-driven credits/colophon (credits.html + credits.js):
the page fetches the same clips the experience uses (baked clips.json in static,
the live API otherwise) and renders one attribution block per clip (title,
license, source), HTML-escaped, sorted, never silently dropping a clip. An
"ⓘ Credits & licenses" link in the header (localised en/es/fr/ja) makes it
reachable from the work — what CC's "reasonable to the medium" calls for. Audio
is all PD/CC0, credited as a courtesy block.
Option D1 — the colophon declares the altered work itself is offered under
CC BY-SA 4.0 and states the footage is modified, satisfying the ShareAlike +
"indicate changes" obligations for the BY-SA sources. Non-commercial.
Ships in the static build (added to PUBLIC_ASSETS). Verified: 41/41 clips
credited incl. all 7 CC-BY/BY-SA clips, 0 missing a license. Tests: node units
for creditEntries/creditsListHtml + escaping + page structure/declaration;
pytest build-output assertion; Playwright e2e (page lists attributions, header
links through).
