  /* Line draw and bird flight share the same duration + easing (2.2s
     ease-in-out, no delay on either) so they read as one continuous
     motion — the bird is what's "drawing" the line — rather than two
     animations that happen to overlap. Dot delays below are tuned against
     that same 2.2s span: dot2 sits almost exactly at the path's
     arc-length midpoint (measured, not eyeballed), so under symmetric
     ease-in-out timing the bird reaches it right as its delay (1.1s =
     half of 2.2s) fires. The bird doesn't fade out at the end — once the
     flight animation completes, scroll-reveal.js hands off to
     .process-landing-bird, which carries it the rest of the way from
     that small in-SVG position out to .process-arrival-bird's exact
     spot, growing as it goes (see .process-landing-bird below). That
     static resting bird stays hidden for anyone who sees this handoff —
     it only shows for visitors who never see the flight at all (no JS,
     or reduced motion) — so there's exactly one bird on screen either
     way, never two, never a stuck duplicate. */
