Miguel Ángel 9734578e60 feat(registry): bring back the video-primitive moves (#3169)
Restores the 208 catalog items reverted after their previews 404'd in
production, this time on the payload mechanism rather than the .html files
that caused the outage.

The generator no longer writes a preview document to docs/public. That writer,
and the machinery under it, existed only to produce files the docs host
discards, so it is gone rather than bypassed. Items now embed the composition
itself via a payload, which is what the previous change already does for the
items that were already in the catalog.

The variables explorer is parked, not restored: it drove its preview through
the same unpublished .html path, so it would have shown an empty frame. Items
that declare variables get the live player plus the static variables table, and
reconnecting the explorer to payloads is a follow-up.

## Install
<InstallCommand command="npx hyperframes add bottom-up-letters" />
That writes one file: `compositions/components/bottom-up-letters.html`.
## 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 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `unit` | `letter` | `letter`, `word` | What each animated span holds. Letter staggers glyph by glyph, word keeps whole words intact. |
| `direction` | `up` | `up`, `down` | Where each span starts. Up starts below the baseline and rises, down starts above and drops. |
| `travel` | `standard` | `close`, `standard`, `far` | How far each span starts from its resting position, from 0.45em to 1.5em. |
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="bottom-up-letters"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/bottom-up-letters.html"
data-variable-values='{"unit":"letter","direction":"up","travel":"standard"}'
></div>
```

Bottom Up Letters - deterministic text splitter.
Add class="hf-bottom-up-letters" to a plain text element. This script wraps
each character in a span so your paused GSAP timeline can stagger the reveal.
Variables. This fragment has no markup of its own, so the declaration rides
the <style> element below; the runtime collects every element carrying
data-composition-variables, not just the document root. The script reads each
value, falls back to the declared default on anything missing or
unrecognised, and either changes how the text is split or writes a custom
property the CSS consumes. The timeline recipe below is untouched by them: it
still tweens opacity and y back to rest, and these decide what a single
stagger step covers and where rest is travelled from.
- unit (letter | word, default letter): what each animated span holds.
letter staggers glyph by glyph; word keeps whole words intact, so a long
line reads instead of shimmers.
- direction (up | down, default up): where the spans start. up starts
below the baseline and rises into place, down starts above and drops.
- travel (close | standard | far, default standard): how far each span
starts from rest, from 0.45em through 0.85em to 1.5em.
On every default the result is identical to the original: one span per
character, each starting 0.85em below the baseline.
