>> [MISSION-11] Theatre.js Car Scroll

>> status: IN ORBIT // 2026

>> OBJECTIVE

Find out where a visual animation editor actually beats hand-written tweens: drive a car along a scrollable page, author the movement as keyframes in Theatre Studio, then scrub that timeline from scroll progress so the body, wheels and steering stay locked to where you stopped scrolling.

>> STACK

theatre.js / scroll-animation / motion / exploration

>> OUTCOME

Still in orbit, nothing shipped. What is already clear: Studio has to stay a dev-only import or it ships the whole editor to visitors, and the setup only pays off once the movement is complex enough that dragging keyframes beats tuning numbers in code. Next call is whether it earns a page here or stays outside the repo.
