Concept

When an ingredient enters secondary-state and becomes available as an alt-use item, play a cooking transformation animation reminiscent of the Breath of the Wild cooking animation — specifically the variation where a raw item (e.g. apple) gets roasted: glowing embers, item darkening, steam rising.

Trigger

Fires when inventory status transitions to secondary_state (either at scan time or when the user views the secondary-use items section in InventoryList)
Could also fire in RecipesView when a secondary-state item is the key match for a recipe suggestion

Notes

Keep it brief (~1.5s) and skippable — should feel like a delightful discovery, not blocking
Canvas-based preferred (consistent with GPU card animations in cf-orch dashboard)
Calm aesthetic: warm embers/glow, not alarm/urgency
Related: #83 (secondary use window backend), UX review issue for alt-use ingredient labels
