Global-time keyframe system mapping to GSAP percentage keyframes:

- Global-time compiler utilities with runtime fallback for string positions
- Flat tween auto-display as 2-keyframe animations
- commitKeyframeAtTime with explicit-then-auto-key logic
- New tween creation outside bounds (add-with-keyframes mutation)
- computeCurrentPercentage uses animation timing, not data-attributes
- Per-segment easing: ease routes to easeEach when keyframes exist
- Ease preset grid above bezier editor, hold keyframes via steps(1)
- Multi-element selection store, keyframe clipboard
- Keyframe cache merge + deduplication across multiple tweens
- Child element dotted outlines on parent selection
- Shortcuts panel: Keyframes section (K, Del, H, U, R)
- Vitest exclude data/ in studio vite.config.ts
