Autoplay reveal
One deterministic run on load, seven steps at 720ms each, ending complete and never replaying itself. reveal is the only autoplay the skill sanctions. The connectors are painted up front because they carry the static meaning; only the nodes stage in. With JavaScript off, or under reduced-motion, the whole diagram is simply there and the controls disappear.
