Button Cooldown Heat

button-cooldown-heat

A rate-limited button that heat-soaks: each press deposits heat into a visible bottom-up fill, dilates its letter-spacing, swells its surface and brightens its border, growing a heat-haze shimmer as it nears the limit and decaying exponentially (fill draining, haze fading) when idle. Hammered past its duty cycle it soaks into a distinct hazard-hatched dead state, going dead on a flat 1px dip until it visibly cools back below the re-arm mark.
