From 2a730e74e542bec9ead6c576f77e96699c5bdf24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Laing Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 09:27:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat: wire up stagger for each's enter animations MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The stagger option on ListAnimationOptions was declared and exported but nothing in the runtime consumed it — each({ animate: { stagger: stagger(40) } }) produced no staggering. Fixed by threading index, totalItems, and a batch-start timestamp through IControlCtx.addSlot, into forkSlotEnter, which computes each slot's fire time relative to the shared reference and Effect.delays by only the residual after reconcile overhead. Compounding-delay bug (each item drifting further behind its expected position as reconcile takes time between slots) avoided by measuring from the shared start rather than from each slot's fork time.

Re-export them alongside the stagger helpers so 'import { Animation, ... } from "@effex/dom"' works. Note: top-level sequence and parallel still refer to the deprecated Effect-combining helpers (kept for back-compat until the next major); the new choreography lives under Animation.sequence / Animation.parallel.

That's fine locally but flaky under CI load — Effect.delay(40ms) can fire at 200ms+ when setTimeout queues get starved, so 'item 1 fires < 70ms' fails intermittently. Rewrote to spy on the stagger function itself: with three items, the function must be invoked with {index: 0, total: 3}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}. This proves the wiring (reconcile passes index/total through to forkSlotEnter which invokes the stagger function) without depending on any real-time behaviour. Second test verifies stagger isn't invoked when the option is omitted. Also switched the Date.now() call in reconcile and forkSlotEnter to Clock.currentTimeMillis so callers can substitute a TestClock later if needed. Runtime behaviour is unchanged.
