📋 Implementation Plan

• Build a reusable SnarkyLoader component in /src/components/features/SnarkyLoader.tsx that displays a CSS-animated spinner with snarky messages about slow internet. Messages should rotate periodically. Component should accept props for controlling visibility and message rotation speed.
• Integrate SnarkyLoader into the Home page with a secret trigger mechanism (e.g., clicking the logo 5 times, or a specific key sequence). This makes it 'secretly snarky' - users discover it accidentally or through exploration.

Questions

• The SnarkyLoader component appears to be fully implemented with 10 snarky messages, tests, and integration. Is there something specific about the current implementation that needs to be changed or enhanced?
• Do you want additional snarky messages beyond the 10 currently implemented? If so, how many more and any specific themes?
• Should the trigger mechanism change from the current 5-click easter egg to something else (e.g., automatic on slow loads, different gesture)?
• Are there styling or animation adjustments needed for the current loader?
• Is this issue being reopened to verify the implementation works correctly, or is there new functionality to add?

📋 Implementation Plan

• Review the existing SnarkyLoader.tsx implementation for completeness. Ensure the component has: visible prop, rotating snarky messages array (at least 8 messages), CSS-animated spinner with multiple layers, proper accessibility attributes (role='status', aria-live='polite'), interval cleanup on unmount, and message index reset on visibility change. Fix any incomplete or missing parts.
• Review SnarkyLoader.test.tsx for completeness. The report notes it may be cut off at line 100. Ensure tests cover: rendering when visible/not visible, spinner structure, initial message display, message rotation at default speed, message rotation at custom speed, full cycle through all messages, loop-back to first message after full cycle, and cleanup on unmount. Add missing tests if file is incomplete.
• Review the integration in Home.tsx. Ensure the SnarkyLoader is triggered by the useMultiClick hook (5 rapid clicks on the title within 2 seconds), can be dismissed via ESC key or click-outside, and has a one-time dismissal guard (snarkyLoaderDismissed flag) so it doesn't re-trigger in the same session.
• Run the full build pipeline to ensure everything compiles and bundles correctly. Verify the SnarkyLoader feature works as a cohesive secret easter egg. Check for any lint errors, ensure Tailwind classes are properly scanned, and confirm the build output is clean.
