1. Retro Teletype & E-Paper Display

• Typewriter Animation: Headlines type out character-by-character on screen, replicating vintage wire machines.
• Mechanical Acoustic Click: Optional audio clicks generated in-browser via the Web Audio API (starts muted; one-tap toggle on the speaker icon).
• Stable 5-Line Frame: The teletype display is locked to an exact 5-line height, preventing layout jumps or screen shifts as short or long headlines cycle through.
• Simulated E-Ink Flash: An authentic page-inversion flash mimics hardware waveform refreshes whenever you refresh feeds or switch palettes.
• Monochrome Themes: Instant switching between Paper, Dark Ink, and warm Sepia palettes.
