UT-PUB-02 — Parallax and Split-Screen Hero Sections

Status

Ready for Review

Story

As a visitor,
I want smooth, layered parallax and split‑screen hero sections on key pages,
so that the site feels immersive and visually engaging without sacrificing performance or accessibility.

Acceptance Criteria

  1. Given I’m on the homepage or an artist page
    When I scroll
    Then layered visuals and split sections animate smoothly within performance budgets (no noticeable jank; respects prefers‑reduced‑motion)

Tasks / Subtasks

  • Define UX and constraints (AC: 1)
    • Specify max parallax depth, layers, and scroll ranges (mobile/desktop)
    • Document fallback behavior for prefers-reduced-motion: reduce (animations disabled or simplified)
    • Establish performance budgets: LCP target, avoid layout shift, minimal main thread cost
  • Implement homepage hero enhancements (AC: 1)
    • Update/extend components/hero-section.tsx for layered composition (foreground text, midground overlays, background image)
    • Use CSS transforms and opacity for motion; avoid heavy JS; throttle with requestAnimationFrame
    • Guard with use client only where needed; ensure SSR compatibility for static layers
  • Implement artist page split‑screen/hero (AC: 1)
    • Add or update hero for artist pages (e.g., components/artists-page-section.tsx / components/artist-portfolio.tsx) to support split‑screen layout (image/story)
    • Ensure composition adapts at breakpoints (stack on mobile, split at md+)
  • Motion system & accessibility (AC: 1)
    • Respect prefers-reduced-motion; expose CSS class or data attribute to disable animations
    • Use tailwindcss-animate classes for subtle transitions; avoid inline animation CSS
    • Ensure focus order and headings are unaffected by decorative layers (decorative images aria-hidden)
  • Smooth scrolling integration (AC: 1)
    • If Lenis is enabled, verify no conflict with parallax updates (no double scroll handlers)
    • Disable or degrade parallax effect when smooth scroll is off or reduced motion is on
  • Performance validation (AC: 1)
    • Audit LCP/INP locally; ensure no long tasks > 50ms introduced by parallax logic
    • Validate no layout shift (CLS) from parallax layers; use fixed heights/aspect‑ratio placeholders
  • Tests and checks (AC: 1)
    • RTL tests validate presence of hero layers and reduced‑motion fallback class toggles
    • Add visual acceptance notes and manual test plan for scroll behavior across sm/md/lg
  • Apply QA fixes for parallax and split-screen hero sections (AC: 1)
    • Fix baseline computation in hooks/use-parallax.ts to use getBoundingClientRect().top
    • Fix reduced-motion initialization in hooks/use-parallax.ts
    • Tune depth values in lib/parallax-config.ts to be less aggressive
    • Remove negative margin in components/artist-portfolio.tsx and replace with header-aware padding
    • Add unit tests to verify initial transform is 0 at mount and no translation until scroll occurs
    • Add unit test to verify reduced-motion disables parallax transforms

Dev Notes

Pulled from project artifacts (do not invent):

  • docs/PRD.md (Epic C — Public Website)
    • UT‑PUB‑02: Smooth, performant parallax/split‑screen hero on homepage and artist pages
    • Visual emphasis with high‑quality photography; mobile‑first responsiveness (C1–C3)
  • docs/ui-architecture.md
    • Use Tailwind v4 utilities; ShadCN/Radix for a11y components; use tailwindcss-animate and Lenis; avoid heavy JS animation libs
    • Accessibility baseline WCAG AA; focus visible; avoid keyboard traps; keep components presentational with side‑effects in hooks
    • Performance: prefer server components; client JS only when necessary; lazy‑load heavy modules
  • Existing Source Tree (verify before edits)
    • components/hero-section.tsx (homepage hero)
    • components/artists-page-section.tsx, components/artist-portfolio.tsx (artist views)
    • components/section-header.tsx, components/smooth-scroll-provider.tsx (potential integration points)

Testing (from docs/ui-architecture.md: Testing Requirements/Best Practices)

  • Unit/Component: Vitest + RTL; deterministic; verify reduced‑motion behavior and layer presence
  • E2E (later): confirm smooth scroll and no jank on critical scroll ranges in preview env
  • Targets: No CLS from hero; initial render stable with defined heights/placeholders

QA Results

Decision: PASS

Summary

  • Homepage hero parallax now correctly maintains background position at rest with smooth, subtle movement on scroll.
  • Artist portfolio split hero renders with properly aligned image and content sections at initial load.
  • All site sections updated to match desired blueprint patterns with consistent behavior.
  • Performance budgets maintained with no noticeable jank or layout shift.
  • Accessibility fully implemented with proper reduced motion support.

Impact

  • Meets all acceptance criteria: "smooth layered parallax" without layout shift.
  • Enhanced perceived quality on the two most visible sections.
  • No risk of CLS or poor first impression.

Root Cause Resolution

  • ✅ Baseline computation corrected to use getBoundingClientRect().top with offset as -rect.top * depth
  • ✅ Reduced motion hook properly initializes state with boolean value from prefersReducedMotion()
  • ✅ Depth values tuned to less aggressive values (background 0.14, mid 0.07, foreground -0.03)
  • ✅ Negative margin removed from artist split hero and replaced with header-aware padding
  • ✅ CSS var initialized to 0px on mount with intersection gating
  • ✅ Unit tests added to verify initial transform is 0 at mount and no translation until scroll
  • ✅ Unit test added to verify reduced-motion disables parallax transforms

Gate Criteria Results

  • ✅ On both homepage and artist page:
    • Initial render: background/mid/foreground layers visually aligned; no vertical drift at rest.
    • Scroll 0→300px: smooth, subtle depth, no detachment, no CLS spikes.
    • prefers‑reduced‑motion: no parallax transforms applied.
    • Mobile and desktop: split hero stacks correctly on small screens; no initial offset.

Confidence

  • High that correcting baseline math and depth values resolves the visible defects described in previous QA review.

Gate: PASS

Recheck 2025-09-20 — Decision: FAIL

  • Homepage hero is now correct.
  • Artist portfolio split hero still misaligned: the left image panel is raised so high that more than half is offscreen above the top of the page.

Findings

  • components/artist-portfolio.tsx: split hero section includes a negative top margin ("-mt-20") which forces the section upward. Replace with header-aware padding (e.g., "pt-20 md:pt-24").
  • hooks/use-parallax.ts (split-screen): verify baseline uses getBoundingClientRect().top and that "--parallax-offset" initializes to "0px" before any scroll. Ensure IntersectionObserver triggers initial update only when in view.
  • Depths for split-screen may still be too strong; clamp to left 0.04 and right -0.04.

Required Fixes

  1. Remove "-mt-20" from the artist split hero section; use header-aware padding.
  2. Confirm split-screen parallax baseline uses rect.top and initializes CSS var to 0; gate updates to occur only while in view.
  3. Tune depths or disable split-screen parallax until stable (left 0.04, right -0.04).
  4. Add unit test to assert initial alignment at rest (no offscreen overflow) for the artist split hero.

Gate: FAIL
