/**
* One view transition at a time.
* Central entry point for every view transition in the app.
*
* The browser runs exactly one: starting a second while the first is still on
* screen *skips* the first, which drops its frozen snapshot on the spot and
* pops the live DOM into view. That is the whole-screen flash, and overlapping
* transitions are the normal case here rather than an edge case:
* Two things it exists to get right.
*
* - `/` and every bare `/weather/<view>/` page is a redirect stub that calls
* `goto` from `onMount`, so one click on a nav entry produces two (from the
* root, three) navigations back to back - and the stub renders nothing, so
* the frame it exposes is an empty page;
* - a theme toggle or a day switch can land while a navigation is still
* waiting for its forecast.
* **One transition at a time, but only where it matters.** Starting a
* transition while another is running makes the browser skip the first, and
* what that looks like depends entirely on which phase the first is in:
*
* Letting a second update ride along inside the transition that is already
* running keeps one continuous cross-fade across the whole chain.
* - *capturing* - its update callback has not resolved yet, so the screen is
* frozen on the outgoing snapshot. Skipping drops that snapshot on the spot
* and pops the half-updated live DOM into view: the whole-screen flash.
* This phase is common here, because navigation deliberately holds the
* callback open while the new page fetches, and `/` plus every bare
* `/weather/<view>/` page is a redirect stub that navigates again from
* `onMount` - one click, two or three navigations.
* - *animating* - the DOM is already in its final state and the pseudo
* elements are playing out. Skipping just finishes them early, landing on
* exactly the state they were heading for.
*
* So a new transition rides along inside the running one only while it is
* capturing; once it is animating, superseding it is the better answer (waiting
* would strand the new update under a stale snapshot until the animation ends).
*
* **A scoping class.** `rootClass` is set on `<html>` for the life of the
* transition, so the stylesheet can tell a page swap from a day switch and pin
* the parts that are identical on both sides (see routes/layout.css).

/* Whole-document cross-fade, for both a page swap and a theme change (see

/* ── Cross-fades that do not dip ──────────────────────────────────────────
The default cross-fade is NOT opacity-neutral: both snapshots are opaque
and the browser fades one out while fading the other in, so at the
midpoint the pair covers only ~75% of the region and the page background
shows through both. That dip is the flash - over the whole viewport for a
page swap, and over the table, summary and charts (which between them are
the whole content column) for a day switch.
The default cross-fade is NOT opacity-neutral. Both snapshots are opaque
and the browser fades one out while fading the other in, so halfway
through, the two together cover only ~75% of the screen and the page
background shows through everything: the whole screen visibly dips, which
reads as a flash. Holding the outgoing snapshot at full opacity and fading
only the incoming one in on top of it (it is painted above) keeps every
