Key Rules

1. No self-animating content - All animations must be driven by useCurrentFrame()
2. Never use useFrame() - React Three Fiber's hook causes flickering during render
3. Sequence layout - Use layout="none" on <Sequence> inside <ThreeCanvas>
4. Declarative animations - Write animations in markup, not imperative loops
