Twelve words in a fog: hold to wipe it away word by word, and watch it return as the time runs out.

Add the "Recovery" component from notboring to my project.
It is licensed for use in my projects — notboring.dev/license. Please:
1. Create the component at a sensible path for this
project, named Recovery, from the source below.
2. Install what it needs: npm i framer-motion lucide-react
3. Add the CSS to the project's stylesheet.
4. THE PART THAT NEEDS YOUR JUDGMENT. The CSS reads
these custom properties and does not define them:
--card
--font-code
--font-ui
--ink
--ink-2
--ink-4
--ink-5
--ink-rgb
--on-ink
They are notboring's design tokens. Map each one to
whatever this project already uses for the same
job — its own ink, ground, surface and UI font —
rather than defining them as new globals. If the
project has no equivalent, define it locally on
the component's own root so nothing leaks out.
Anything ending -rgb wants three bare numbers,
because the CSS builds rgba() from it.
5. IF YOU CHANGE IT, GO ALL THE WAY. This block is
built for every state its object can really be
in — empty, one, full, refused, undone, pressed
twice, interrupted halfway — and not only the one
the demo opens on. Adapt it and the same standard
holds: work out that list before you write, and
build the whole of it. Never settle for the
minimum that makes the screenshot right. A
component somebody has to come back and finish is
the thing this was written to replace.
Keep the comments. They say why the numbers are what
they are, and they are most of what makes this worth
copying rather than rewriting.

/* ══ Recovery ═════════════════════════════════════════════
Twelve words that are the keys to everything, shown only
while you hold the button — and taken back, word by word,
when you let the time run out.
ONE NUMBER IS THE WHOLE REVEAL. Hold, and a fraction climbs
from nought to one over a second and a bit; every word's
blur is read off it, each a thirteenth later than the one
before, so the phrase comes into focus as a wave from the
first word to the last — the way a hand wipes a fogged
window. Let go early and the number springs back and the
fog returns the same way, in reverse. Nothing is a class
toggled on twelve chips.
IT HIDES ITSELF, BUT IT GIVES YOU TIME FIRST. Revealed, the
phrase stands clear for five whole seconds — long enough to
write twelve words down, or to reach the Copy — and only
then does the fog come back, over three and a half, the
last word first because that is the end the reveal reached
last. It used to drain from the instant it opened, which
The rest — the source and its comments — is what the plan opens.
