Summary

• Analog clock: redraw at about 15 fps and write hand and label attributes only when they change.
• Connections map and VPN card: draw the static dots once to an offscreen canvas, rebuilt on size, data, emphasis or theme change; each frame copies it and draws only the pulse.
• Now Playing: rotate an HTML wrapper around the reel, pause it off screen through whileOnScreen, let a second tap cancel a running swap, use an ease-out exit curve, scale the tape instead of animating width and height, and gate .nav:hover to fine pointers.
• Weather: draw rain, snow, sleet and the bolt as HTML boxes with percentage offsets, so their animations stay off the main thread under widget zoom.
• Backup: rotate an HTML wrapper for the running icon.
• System Summary: move bars by translateX through a new setBar() toolbox export. Faint bars (colour close to the card) keep sizing by width so their edge ring stays closed.
• Up Next: transition the moving pill by opacity and transform only.
• Dashboard Switch: set each name's text direction and trim by grapheme with no space before the ellipsis (fitName, textDirection).
• Set a transparent tap highlight in every widget page that takes taps.

Testing
All green, including e2e. Added tests for the clock sweep and label writes, the map's cached base, weather particle markup, bar movement, the faint bar edge and name fitting.
