fix(mobile): park ambient loading animations when offscreen or reduced motion - #13147

…d motion LoadingStrip's indeterminate sweep and ConnectionStatusDot's halo pulse ran withRepeat loops for the entire lifetime of the component, including while the app was backgrounded, the rendering screen was blurred, or the user had reduced motion enabled, pegging the GPU for work nobody sees. Add useAmbientAnimationsEnabled (app-active + screen-focus + reduce-motion, the pattern established in thread-work-log.tsx) and gate both loops on it. LoadingStrip shows a static strip while parked so "still loading" stays legible; the status dot keeps its colored dot.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The PR changes production mobile behavior by adding a shared AppState, screen-focus, and reduced-motion gate that starts and stops existing animation loops across multiple components. Its new native subscription and external-store lifecycle logic is broader than a small isolated UI fix and merits human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

- Line 105: Update usePulseAnimation and haloStyle so the halo fades out over
the 180 ms reset instead of becoming invisible as soon as pulse turns false.
Animate opacity with a separate shared value, set it visible while pulsing, and
use it to scale the halo’s existing pulse opacity; preserve the current
pulseProgress animation.

register the reduceMotionChanged listener before querying isReduceMotionEnabled,
and ignore the query result if a change event arrives first or the effect has
been cleaned up.

…ions Two audit findings on the ambient-animation gate: - The one-shot `isReduceMotionEnabled()` read could resolve after a `reduceMotionChanged` event and overwrite the newer value. Signal folding now treats the initial read as "only lands while unreported" and lets events always win; ordering is covered by focused tests. - Each `ConnectionStatusDot` installed its own AppState and AccessibilityInfo listeners. Platform signals move to a module-level store behind `useSyncExternalStore`: one shared pair of native subscriptions for all consumers, bounded for the app lifetime.

The store snapshotted `AppState.currentState` at module load and only tracked transitions delivered to its listener. A background transition that happened before the first consumer mounted (cold launch to the app switcher, deep link landing blurred) left the stored value at "active", so the first ambient loop could start offscreen. `subscribeToPlatformSignals` now registers the AppState listener first and then folds the platform's current value; transitions landing in between are covered by the listener. Focused tests cover both orderings with a fresh module instance per case.

Integrated iPhone 16 Pro Reduce Motion check on head
I restored the development connection to the original isolated backend and turned the simulator's Reduce Motion setting off after this check. This is iOS evidence; Android Reduce Motion was not exercised. |

What Changed
Gate two mobile ambient (indefinite-loop) animations on the same lifecycle + Reduce Motion signals
thread-work-log.tsxalready uses, with a shared platform-signal store and focused tests.useAmbientAnimationsEnabled(apps/mobile/src/lib/useAmbientAnimationsActive.ts) tracks three signals:AppStateisactive, the rendering screen is focused, and the OS reduced-motion setting is off. The pure signal folds are exported for tests.AppState+AccessibilityInfo) live in a module-level store behinduseSyncExternalStore: one shared pair of native subscriptions for all consumers (a list of status dots does not install per-row listeners), bounded for the app lifetime.isReduceMotionEnabled()read only lands while the platform value is still unreported, so it can never clobber a newerreduceMotionChangedevent; the store snapshotsAppState.currentStateat module load but registers its listener before reconciling with the platform's current value at first subscription, so a background transition before the first consumer mounts cannot leave a staleactive; folds keep snapshot identity so unchanged reports do not re-render consumers.LoadingStrip(indeterminate variant) only runs the sweep while enabled, cancelling and resetting when a signal flips. While parked it renders a static, dimmed strip so "still loading" stays legible under reduced motion instead of an invisible bar.ConnectionStatusDottreats its pulse as disabled when ambient animations are parked; the colored dot (green/amber/red) keeps conveying the connection state, only the halo loop stops. (As onmain, the halo's opacity goes to zero immediately when the pulse stops; the 180ms timing only eases its scale reset.)ReduceMotion.Neverto Reanimated since reduced motion is decided centrally by the hook, mirroring the thread-work-log pattern.Why
LoadingStrip's indeterminate sweep andConnectionStatusDot's halo pulse ranwithRepeatloops for their entire mounted lifetime. Neither checked app state, screen focus, or Reduce Motion, so they kept driving the UI thread on a blurred screen, while the app was backgrounded, and for users who asked for reduced motion — AGENTS.md explicitly flags continuously repainting animations as GPU cost. Both components already cancel on unmount; this closes the mounted-but-invisible case.All current usages (file preview surfaces, legal-document route, environment rows in settings/onboarding) render inside screens, so focus tracking is meaningful everywhere they appear.
UI Changes
Device evidence on this head (iPhone 16 Pro simulator; Android not separately verified):
1) and the environment held in Reconnecting, the warning-colored dot stayed visible with no pulsing halo across captures four seconds apart.Remaining reproducible fixtures (not yet captured):
SourceFileSurfaceshows the indeterminate strip mid-load); toggle Reduce Motion while it loads. Expected at head: sweep parks and the static dim strip stands in; onmainthe sweep keeps looping.Verification
activeapp states count (inactive/background/unknown park the loop), unfocus parks it, reduced motion parks it, an unreported platform value parks it, the stale initial reduce-motion read is ignored once an event has arrived, the first subscription reconciles a stale module-load app-state snapshot, late transitions fold, and unchanged reports keep snapshot identity. All pass viavp test run.tsc --noEmitforapps/mobileis clean; targeted lint is clean (the shared-value assignment warnings on the animation components match the pre-existingthread-work-log.tsxpattern).311d54d): foreground pulse behaves and Reduce Motion parks the halo pulse, both linked under UI Changes. No Android reduced-motion pass was performed.Checklist
