miga-heygenandMiguel Ángel 7b5fdb1ad2 fix(docs): emit catalog source accordion titles as plain strings (#4006)
The generated catalog pages rendered the "Source" accordion title as a
JSX expression, `<Accordion title={`name.html`}>`. Mintlify's search
indexer stringifies expression attribute nodes rather than evaluating
them, so every one of the 399 catalog pages surfaced its Source section
in search results as "[object Object]" (visible on the Scroll Feed page,
among others).

The template literal carried no escaping benefit: every title is a
single-segment `name.html` path, and a double-quoted JSX string handles
it directly. Introduce `mdxStringAttribute`, which emits a plain
`name="value"` attribute and escapes `& " < { }` as HTML character
references (MDX decodes references inside quoted attribute values, and
unlike JSON.stringify it does not rely on backslash escapes, which JSX
strings do not honour). Use it for both the Source accordion title and
the preview iframe title, and regenerate the catalog pages.

Regenerated with `npx tsx scripts/generate-catalog-pages.ts`; the only
change across the 399 pages is the one Accordion title line each.

Tracking In - letter-spacing reveal.
Add class="hf-tracking-in" to text elements, then animate the CSS variable
from wide tracking to the final value in your composition timeline.
Variables. The script reads each one, falls back to the declared default on
anything missing or unrecognised, and writes the result as a custom property
on the document root, which every element carrying the class inherits. The
timeline recipe below is untouched by them: it keeps driving one tracking
value and one opacity, and these decide how wide that tracking reads, where
the text starts, and what colour it settles in.
- tracking (tight | standard | wide, default standard): multiplies the
letter-spacing the timeline drives. It scales the whole curve, so the
reveal starts proportionally wider or tighter and settles the same way.
tight is 0.6 of the shipped spacing, wide is 1.8 of it.
- rise (subtle | standard | bold, default standard): the vertical offset
the text starts from, which the timeline reads as the start of its
travel and eases to zero. subtle is 4px, standard the shipped 8px, bold
18px.
- tone (inherit | ink | paper | accent, default inherit): text colour.
inherit leaves the surrounding page colour alone, ink is near-black for
light frames, paper near-white for dark ones, accent rides --brand.
The class starts at opacity 0, so the colour only becomes visible once
the timeline reveals the text.
On every default the result is identical to the original: text at the page
colour rising 8px into place out of 0.28em tracking.

## Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:
| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `tracking` | `standard` | `tight`, `standard`, `wide` | Multiplies the letter-spacing the timeline drives, so the reveal starts and settles proportionally wider or tighter. |
| `rise` | `standard` | `subtle`, `standard`, `bold` | Vertical offset the text starts from, which the timeline reads as the start of its travel and eases to zero. |
| `tone` | `inherit` | `inherit`, `ink`, `paper`, `accent` | Text colour: inherit keeps the surrounding page colour, ink suits light frames, paper dark ones, accent rides --brand. |
Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
```html wrap
<div
data-composition-id="tracking-in"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/tracking-in.html"
data-variable-values='{"tracking":"standard","rise":"standard","tone":"inherit"}'
></div>
```
