Replace checklist:

BLOCKNAME → your block name (e.g., cap-swoosh)
PREFIX → short unique prefix for IDs (e.g., sw)
Font family, weight, size → your style's typography
Entrance animation → your style's entrance
Karaoke highlight → your style's active word treatment
Colors → your style's palette

      })();
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

Replace checklist:

COMPNAME → your component name (e.g., shimmer-sweep)
Background should be transparent so it overlays cleanly
No data-composition-id or window.__timelines — the parent owns timing
