lottie-web renders vector animations from a JSON document at runtime. As
third-party JS it falls outside the declarative CSS path and the WAAPI / reveal /
marquee probes, so clones shipped the empty container and the animation was gone.
This adds a Lottie subset to Stage 5 motion: capture the deterministic part — the
source JSON (materialized local file, or inline animationData) plus playback
config — and emit a fixed DittoLottie client that re-mounts lottie-web on the
cid'd container.
Capture (compiler/src/capture/lottie.ts): in-page detector covering lottie-web's
registry (animationData in memory), <lottie-player>/<dotlottie-player>, Elementor
data-settings (source_json.url), and generic markup. Keyed by data-cid-cap.
motion.ts merges it into MotionCapture; capture.ts registers source URLs as assets
so the existing fallback fetch downloads + materializes them to /assets/cloned/lottie.
Generate (compiler/src/generate/lottie.ts): buildLottieSpec resolves cap->cid and
source URL->materialized local path (or embeds inline animationData), then emits
DittoLottie + wire/import helpers, mirroring DittoMotion. app.ts writes the
component, wires import+JSX, and injects lottie-web into the generated package.json.
Delivery (compiler/src/cli.ts): stripDeliveryDataCids now treats DittoLottie as a
runtime consumer, so its container keeps a semantic data-ditto-id anchor instead of
being stripped (without this the animation never finds its mount point).
Lottie-free clones stay byte-identical. Verified end-to-end: cloning a page with a
<lottie-player> scrapes the JSON, emits a wired DittoLottie, and lottie-web mounts
and plays the captured animation (rendered SVG viewBox matches the source JSON).
Unit tests cover buildLottieSpec resolution + drop rules.
