Scroll-drawn path
A path draws itself as its container scrolls (scroll-driven animation)
⚠ Browser support Scroll-driven animations need Chrome/Edge 115+ (Firefox behind a flag); unsupported browsers show the path fully drawn, static.
Techniques: animation-timeline: scroll() · @supports · pathLength · stroke-dashoffset
