Introduce a simple, show-don't-tell entry screen that lowers the "what
counts as a protocol" barrier and frames the activity as a short journey:
- Lead line "Examine the protocols around you" over a rotating, cross-fading
list of deliberately diverse examples (traffic, code, kitchens, ritual,
governance, play)
- Prominent "Begin" CTA above a three-step path: Describe / Understand / Share
- "About the Bicorder" link opens the existing help modal
Shown on first arrival; returning users with a reading in progress skip
straight to the diagnostic (computed synchronously, no flash). Remove the
now-redundant inline description from the focused flow.

The model (analysis/bicorder_model.json) maps a positive LDA score to
cluster 2 = Institutional/Bureaucratic = "formal", but ldaScoreToScale
added the score (5 + score*4/3), sending formal/institutional protocols
toward 9 (informal) and vice versa. bicorder.json defines this gradient
as 1 = formal, 9 = informal, so the score must be subtracted.
- Flip the sign: value = 5 - (ldaScore * 4/3); correct the doc comment to
state the model's actual sign convention
- Rename calculateBureaucratic -> calculateFormalInformal and update the
stale analysisOrder comment, matching bicorder.json's formal/informal terms

Replace the click-anywhere ASCII bar (whose hit-mapping was offset from
the displayed marker, so taps registered the wrong value) with a track of
nine discrete, exact tap targets that fill from the center outward to the
selection: [----==#--]. Direction and distance from center read at a glance.
- Exact per-position selection on touch and desktop; no more position math
- Keyboard support (arrows/Home/End), scoped so it doesn't trigger
the app-level screen navigation
- Center the bar and slim mobile padding so the full track fits narrow
viewports
- Apply the same control to the manual analysis gradient; render the
automated ones as a matching read-only, dimmed display
- Add a subtle gray "Value: #" indicator below the buttons on the
diagnostic gradients, matching the analysis screens
- Move the "auto-calculated" note under the ANALYSIS header instead of
after the value

Raise responsive layout breakpoints from 768px to 900px across all
components. This ensures narrow desktop browser windows (769–900px)
get the stacked, single-column layout rather than the three-column
grid that was too wide for those widths. The 768px breakpoint in
app.css is kept as-is since it only adjusts font sizes for iOS.
