Just to show animation, has testing bits like half the homescreen is an animation trigger, etc.
Also, I think we consult with adeeb on how to handle the build info text; caching it, pre-loading it based on release, having a general filler text, idk rn

As far as behavior, when the animation should trigger:

  1. After boot (needs some delay to trigger after the comma screen disappears) < ez for sure

  2. Whenever screen is woken? I can see this becoming slightly annoying for developers since its a tiny bit of visual noise, but the sequence happens fast enough (and doesnt otherwise prevent usage).

  3. Instead of 2, have some sort of timeout, like 15min or something that it waits until waking the screen will retrigger the animation (otherwise waking the screen would just instant on if this timeout hasnt been reached)

When ignition, there has to be some additional handling of >wait for animation to play >then slide over to onroad
So if this is all too complicated to test/think about before next release, then it's ok to only have this play on boot for now, and we can slowly bring it to more appropriate places.

Essentially, the end goal is to feel like when a person "turns on" their device by starting their car, then it plays the animation but otherwise it should feel more like your smartphone in standby mode.

Given the unique usage/context of the comma 4, we can definitely get this balance right with some simple rules like suggested above.

Fade-in + slide-up animation for the title and info text using
FirstOrderFilter, with sequential icon fade-in on the status bar.
Right-half click retriggers the animation for testing. Includes
fake version text fallback for development.
