Subject: [PATCH] theme: exempt status-indicator animations from anim-speed
 override
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Cursor blink, card-bar-pulse, sync spinner and the chat unread blink all
have deliberate cadences — letting body.anim-fast/anim-slow speed them up
turns them into unreadable strobes (or the sync icon spinning at 100ms).
Higher-specificity rules pin each one to its natural duration via
!important.
