The overhaul: 290 memes, arena, packs, TV, lab, dex and more

[SaltKing0]

The overhaul: 60 → 290 memes plus a whole universe around them

This started as "have some fun with it" and turned into a full second life for the archive. One PR because everything builds on everything — happy to split it if you'd rather review in slices.

Content (+230 memes, 24 → 31 templates)

• 230 new caption remixes in the same voice (60 → 290 total), still balanced across the six moods
• 7 new community templates, downloaded and bundled for offline: Heavy Breathing Cat, Persian Cat Room Guardian, Ceiling Cat, Shrek Cat, I Can Has Cheezburger, Woman Yelling At Cat (two-panel), Burn Kitty
• Every entry keeps its Imgflip source page; THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md updated (24 → 31 files, same honest framing)
• Every template got lore: origin year, status (immortal / classic / alive), one-liner — shown in the viewer
• 3 CC-licensed cat clips (Wikimedia Commons, attributed in notices) as TV bumpers, ~566 KB total

Features

• Battle Arena — head-to-head voting, streaks, local leaderboard → podium with dethrone drama, monthly seasons + hall of fame
• Daily Drop (replaces Saved) — one loot pack per 24h, rarities, shiny dupes, streaks, dupe Forge → bonus packs, branded share cards
• Cat TV — lean-back cinema mode grown into a real broadcast: mood channels, clock-based programming, Biscuit VJ, fake ad breaks, real clip interstitials (+ your own uploads), remote volume, sleep timer with test-pattern sign-off
• Frankenmeme Lab + local Markov caption engine ("Inspire me", no AI service, trained on the archive itself)
• Custom collections with JSON export/import (files are the social network — no accounts needed)
• Pro studio — fonts, caption styles, stickers, PNG + motion (WebM) export
• Cat Album dex — 290 slots, silhouettes, per-mood progress
• 12 trophies, synthesized WebAudio SFX + Biscuit meows (mutable), dark mode, offline service worker, first-run tour
• Biscuit — reactive cat companion (the chimp retired), now with 3D tilt and opinions
• Red thread + declutter — nav grouped PLAY / MAKE / KEEP, one Keep hub, hero journey, ticker, grain, count-ups

Ground rules kept

• Zero runtime dependencies, still npm start / npm run check (now enforced by CI + a smoke test that validates all 290 memes, assets, lore, and every element ID)
• Keyboard nav, 320px mobile layout, prefers-reduced-motion respected throughout
• Images stay third-party with provenance; MIT covers code/captions/brand only

Testing

npm run check green; exercised locally: every page, voting/streaks/reset, pack open/skip/reset, lab save, editor save/PNG/motion, viewer/TV/channels/ads/sleep, sets export/import, dark mode, 320px widths.
