This component no longer exists. It was in ns-ui’s manifest when we first indexed it and is not there now — the registry served its inventory on 2026-08-07 and this item was not on it. The install command below will fail. It is kept here because a tutorial somewhere still tells people to run it.
Autosave Ratchet
ns-ui/autosave-ratchetRemovedComponent
Autosave status as a mechanical ratchet — a 10-tooth gear advances one notch per saved change and tallies the session in its rotation, while a failed save kicks the wheel back half a tooth and holds that broken pose until the next save resolves it.

A 10-tooth gear (9 teeth in --muted, one index tooth in17// --foreground so a one-tooth-width rotation is actually visible against the18// gear's own 10-fold symmetry) sits under a fixed pawl triangle. Every19// SUCCESSFUL save advances the gear exactly one tooth-width and folds into a20// silent running tally; the position is cosmetic (it wraps every 10 saves),21// the count and timestamp are the real record and live in the tooltip text.22//23// Motion is three distinct, non-looping events, all direct-DOM CSS-transform24// writes on two SVG refs (no React state on the hot path):25// - save-start ("saving"): a small anticipation backswing, winding the26// wheel back against the pawl before the outcome is known.27// - ack ("saved"): a 200ms ease-out-expo spring settle forward past the28// wind-up to the next tooth. Count++, timestamp stamped, wind-up cleared.29// - failure ("error"): the pawl slips — the wheel kicks back half a tooth30// from its last good seat (not from wherever the wind-up left it, so31// repeated failures hold the same broken pose rather than unraveling32// further) and the pawl itself lifts off and thickens to 2px33// --foreground. That pose holds — no loop — until the next successful34// save resolves it.35//36// Accessibility: a dedicated sr-only span (not the whole wrapper) is the37// status live region — role=status/aria-live=polite/aria-atomic=true on38// just that span, so re-reading it atomically never picks up the button's39// label or an open tooltip's duplicated text, and hovering the tooltip40// (marked aria-live=off) can never itself trigger a spurious announcement.41// "Saving"/"Saved" chatter is throttled to at most one shared announcement42// per 30s so a bursty autosave doesn't spam a screen reader; "Save failed"43// always announces and resets that throttle window so the next resolution44// is guaranteed to announce too. The gear is aria-hidden; the only focusable45// element is the button that doubles as the tooltip trigger (hover or focus46// reveals a Geist Mono panel that duplicates every fact as text — status,47// … truncated
