Why Spotlight is glanceable in NotNotch
Spotlight is sized for a closed-notch chip or a short open panel, not a document window. NotNotch is a glanceable companion, not a Spotlight replacement.

Closed shows the live state. Open is for the next action. Spotlight should make sense in both.
Motion
Animations stay short. Reduced-motion users should still understand Spotlight without the demo loop.
