Zero-Main-Thread Particle Physics: 60FPS Canvas Rendering with Background Web Workers

Offloading continuous ambient particle animations to dedicated Web Workers via OffscreenCanvas to guarantee silky smooth 120Hz scrolling.

Decoupling Physics from the Main Thread

Background ambient particles add high-tech depth to the Sovereign Teal OLED canvas. However, calculating 80+ physics particles on every `requestAnimationFrame` on the main JavaScript thread causes micro-stutters during React re-renders or page transitions. By transferring an HTML `<canvas>` element's control to a Web Worker via `canvas.transferControlToOffscreen()`, physics calculations execute in a separate OS thread without blocking user interactions.
