Note

Medium Risk
Updates the onboarding welcome animation sequence and timing (including when notification permission is requested) behind a new remote toggle, which could impact first-run UX if misconfigured. Changes are isolated to onboarding UI/resources with no security-sensitive logic.

Overview
Adds a new remote-config feature customDuckAiOnboarding with an introAnimation toggle (default off) to control whether a Duck.ai subtitle animation is shown during onboarding.

When enabled, the Brand Design Update welcome page now plays an additional Lottie “+ Duck.ai” intro after the title settles, themes its font/color dynamically, includes it in outro/snap states, and cleans it up on view teardown. Layouts (phone/landscape/tablet) and a new raw Lottie JSON resource are updated accordingly, and the view model/test are extended to fetch and expose the toggle state.
