Premium Welcome Banner Styling and Enhanced Content

Summary

This PR enhances the welcome banner with premium styling and engaging content to create a high-quality first impression for TimeCapsuleTV users. The changes transform the basic welcome banner into a polished, professional introduction that properly showcases the project's scope and functionality.

Key improvements:

• Fixed CSS syntax errors that prevented proper styling of #welcome-banner-panel and #wormhole-gif selectors
• Premium visual design with gradient backgrounds, glowing borders, and smooth animations
• Comprehensive welcome content introducing Jonny Solomon personally and highlighting the 222,219 video collection
• Detailed controls guide with keyboard shortcuts organized in an intuitive grid layout
• Enhanced button styling with gradient effects and hover animations
• Improved user experience with better visual hierarchy and content organization

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

⚠️ High Priority (3 items):

• Visual verification: Confirm the banner looks premium with proper green borders, gradients, and animations as intended
• Wormhole video functionality: Test that clicking "Begin Time Travel" button properly plays the wormhole video and transitions to main TV interface
• End-to-end user flow: Verify complete experience from banner appearance → button click → wormhole animation → main app loads and is fully functional

Test plan: Load tv.jonny.sh in a fresh browser session, interact with the welcome banner, verify all styling appears correctly, test the wormhole transition, and confirm the main TV interface works normally after the transition.

Notes

• Testing limitation: Unable to test locally due to Chrome WebDriver issues, so verification relies on live deployment
• CSS complexity: 150+ lines of new CSS with gradients, animations, and complex selectors - please verify cross-browser compatibility
• Content creation: Welcome content was crafted based on project documentation to be engaging and informative, but should be reviewed for tone and accuracy
• Performance: Added backdrop-filter and animations - monitor for any performance impact on lower-end devices

Bug: Missing CSS for Features Section

The features-section div in the welcome banner HTML (line 1680) is missing its corresponding CSS definition. Consequently, this section, intended for "Your Time Travel Controls", will not receive styling like background, padding, and border, unlike the intro-section and experience-section.
