        <HeroDitheringMobileVisual />
      </HeroDitheringRoot>
    </main>
  );
}
```

## What You Get

- Split hero layout with copy and CTA on the left and shader visual on the right.
- Memoized `Dithering` render path for stable re-renders.
- Desktop and mobile shader variants with different scale/speed tuning.
- Built-in badge row for highlighting stack metadata.
- Works as a full-width section and can be dropped into landing pages directly.

## Customization Patterns

### Tune Dithering Colors and Pixel Density

Use shader override props without forking the component:

```tsx
<HeroDitheringRoot
  desktopShaderProps={{
    colorFront: "#006CFF",
    speed: 0.8,
    scale: 0.75,
  }}
  mobileShaderProps={{
    colorFront: "#006CFF",
    speed: 0.7,
  }}
>
  {/* compose primitives */}
</HeroDitheringRoot>
```

### Swap Hero Copy and CTA

Replace copy and CTA target via props:

```tsx
<HeroDitheringRoot
  title="Composable Hero Dithering"
  subtitle="Ship branded launches faster"
  description="Reusable hero primitive with configurable visuals and slots."
  ctaProps={{
    label: "Explore workflows",
    href: "/workflows",
    target: "_self",
    rel: undefined,
  }}
>
  {/* compose primitives */}
</HeroDitheringRoot>
```

### Replace Badge Rendering

Use `techStack` + `renderBadge` for custom chips while preserving defaults:

```tsx
<HeroDitheringRoot
  techStack={[
    { name: "Next.js", version: "v16" },
    { name: "AI SDK", version: "v6" },
    { name: "Tailwind", version: "v4" },
  ]}
  renderBadge={(tech, _index, defaultBadge) =>
    tech.name === "AI SDK" ? (
      <span className="rounded-b-full border px-3 py-1 text-xs font-semibold">
        {tech.name} {tech.version}
      </span>
    ) : (
      defaultBadge
    )
  }
>
  {/* compose primitives */}
</HeroDitheringRoot>
```

### Compose with Slot Primitives

Use primitive exports for custom layout composition:

```tsx
<HeroDitheringRoot>
  <HeroDitheringContainer>
    <HeroDitheringContent>
      <HeroDitheringHeading />
      <HeroDitheringDescription />
      <HeroDitheringActions />
      <HeroDitheringBadges />
    </HeroDitheringContent>
    <HeroDitheringVisual desktopShaderProps={{ colorFront: "#00d2ff" }} />
  </HeroDitheringContainer>
  <HeroDitheringMobileVisual />
</HeroDitheringRoot>
```

## Performance Notes

- `Dithering` is wrapped with `memo` to avoid unnecessary rerenders.
- Mobile and desktop effects are rendered as separate sections so each layout can be tuned independently.
- Keep the hero in client-rendered regions only (`"use client"` is required).

## Accessibility Notes

- Includes a screen-reader-only heading (`sr-only`) so page structure remains meaningful.
- CTA link includes `rel="noopener noreferrer"` when opened in a new tab.
- Ensure visible contrast remains sufficient if you change shader colors or text opacity.

## Troubleshooting

### Shader does not render

- Confirm `@paper-design/shaders-react` is installed.
- Verify this component runs in a client context.
- Confirm parent containers are not clipping to zero height.

### Layout looks crowded on small screens

- Increase the mobile shader container height.
- Reduce heading size classes or copy length.
- Move badges under the fold for dense hero content.
