report-to-video: teaser rows that say several things in turn (replace), a line's own role, hold
A teaser line with "replace": true takes the row of the line before it: it
slams in where that one was and pushes it out (rises, shrinks, blurs, fades
over 0.3 s from the new pop). The frame holds 5 ROWS of up to 8 lines; roles
follow the row's position, a replacing line inherits its row's role. A line's
"role" (overline/title/kicker) overrides its size, fit and hit; "hold" waits
0-4 s after a line before the next. Lines sharing a row are stacked in one
grid cell so the layout never moves. A teaser using none of it composes the
same page byte for byte (pinned), so no existing cut re-renders.
Pilot for the ferret finale: his estimates pushing each other out under the
full title, then 2027?.

+- **Rows that say several things in turn: `replace`.** A line written
+ `{ "text": …, "replace": true }` takes the ROW of the line before it: it
+ slams in where that one was, and the one it replaces rises 64 px, shrinks
+ to 0.9×, blurs and fades over 0.3 s from its pop (`TEASER_MOTION.out*`),
+ gone before the new line's impact. So one row can step through a sequence
+ — his estimates, each pushing out the last — and a last line with
+ `replace` can resolve it (`"2027"` pushing out the last estimate). The
+ frame holds at most **5 rows** (`TEASER_LIMITS.rows`) of at most **8 lines**;
+ roles follow the ROW's position as they followed the line's, and a
+ replacing line takes the role of the line it replaces. The lines of a row
+ are stacked in one grid cell (`.slot`), so the row is as tall as its
+ tallest line and the layout never moves as they change. The first line
+ cannot replace.
+- **A line's own size: `role`.** `"overline"`, `"title"` or `"kicker"` on a
+ line overrides the role its row's position gives it — its type, its fit
+ and its hit. A row of estimates at `"kicker"` keeps the title above them
+ the biggest words on the card; `"2027"` at `"title"` makes the answer
+ outweigh them. A kicker-sized row above a title gets 44 px of air.
+- **`hold`** — 0 to 4 seconds on a line: held after its pop (after its
+ second tier's) before the next line pops, so a line about to be pushed out
+ — or the last before the kicker — can be read. On the last line it holds
+ the tail back as well.
