## FAQ

### Can I pause the Alert octagon loop?

It pauses by itself while scrolled out of view and stays on its first frame when reduced motion is preferred or autoplay={false} is set. To show it only while something is pending, render it conditionally.

### Is Alert octagon decorative?

By default it is aria-hidden. Pass aria-label="Alert octagon" to announce it as an image, or leave it hidden when the link or button it sits in has its own text.

### Can Alert octagon loop only while hovered instead?

Yes: pass interaction="hover-loop". It then loops while hovered, finishes the current cycle after mouseleave and stays static when reduced motion is preferred.
