Recoordinate spent Sunday refactoring the reasciiary ASCII art generator across rendering, parametrization, and a complete identity change to Reasciiary.

The day split into three coherent threads across latent-9/reasciiary-ascii-art-generator. First came rendering fixes: the canvas now gives pictures room to display at their full size [1], and animated loops draw at a consistent scale [2]. Recoordinate updated the README to document that loop frames have a minimum size constraint [3].

The spiral controls came next. Recoordinate made the spiral's wave and turn parameters user-configurable [4], then surfaced them on the control panel [5]. The wave itself got refinements: it can now report its own height [6], the underlying disc lifts into a dome shape [7], and the dome appears in the UI beside the wave controls [8]. A drift parameter lets the surface wander from the wave it traces [9], with its own slider control [10]. Row counting updated to account for the new geometry [12], and Recoordinate documented what constrains the wave from being a pure sine diagram [11].

The final and largest piece was the project rename from reasciiary to Reasciiary. This touched the window and bundle names [13], the crate and its shipped command [14], package metadata [15], the frontend package structure [16], the ffmpeg override [17], test scratch files [19], and editor recommendations in the project root [21]. Most of the rename work landed; a few documentation updates remain in development [18] [20].
