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