GradientText

Fills text with a continuously animated linear gradient that flows through the glyphs, driven by a moving 300% background-position. Takes two stops (from/to) or three (from/via/to) using any CSS colour, including build69 tokens like var(--b69-accent). It is the lightest member of the AnimatedText family — it has no motion/react dependency and no reduced-motion branch, since the animation is pure CSS.
