A dozen uploads/unysonplus-* folders, or one uploads/unysonplus/ parent?

The question: UnysonPlus had grown a scatter of sibling upload folders in the WordPress uploads root — unysonplus-icon-packs, unysonplus-asset-optimizer, unysonplus-lottie, unysonplus-rive, unysonplus-templates, unysonplus-designs, unysonplus-shortcodes, unysonplus-presets, plus a plain unysonplus/ for generated CSS. Should each keep its own top-level folder, or move under a single uploads/unysonplus/ parent?

"Overlay on last section" as a Footer Layout toggle — positioning only, JS-gated

The question: on a cinematic reference site the footer isn't a band below the page — its closing tagline sits on the bottom of the last full-height scene, overlaid. That also removes the blank gap a pinned last section leaves after it fades out. Should this be a one-off per-site hack, or a first-class Footer option — and if an option, how do we make it generic and safe?

Per-batch scatter with synced text: one Stage of scenes, not five separate galleries

The question: a reference site's scroll section plays as a sequence of batches — each batch is a set of photos that scatters onto the surface, holds around a centered line of text, then scatters away as the next batch (with different photos and a different line) arrives. How do we build that so each batch has its own images, its own text, and its own entrance/exit — and stays editable in the builder?

Is the Animated Heading shortcode redundant now that the Animation Engine has text effects?

The question: The Animation Engine → Text Effects module already ships rotating_words and typewriter (among ~40 effects) that can be applied to any text element. Does the standalone animated_heading shortcode still earn its place, or should it be deprecated in favor of "special_heading + a text effect"?
