feat: add pop, bounce, score float, and overlay fade animations (Stories 3.2-3.5)

Tile spawn pop (200ms scale 0→1), merge bounce (200ms scale 1→1.2→1),
score "+N" float (600ms rise+fade), overlay fade-in (800ms opacity).
All CSS @keyframes, all respect prefers-reduced-motion. Epic 3 complete.

+# Story 3.2: Tile Spawn Pop Animation
+
+Status: done
+
+## Story
+
+As a player,
+I want new tiles to pop into existence,
+so that I can easily spot where the new tile appeared.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. A new tile spawned after a move plays a pop animation scaling from 0 to 1.0 over 200ms using CSS @keyframes
+2. The pop animation begins after the slide animation completes (sequential: slide then spawn)
+3. When prefers-reduced-motion is enabled, the tile appears instantly at full size with no animation
+
+## Tasks / Subtasks
+
+- [x] Task 1: Add @keyframes tile-pop animation (AC: #1)
+  - [x] Added `@keyframes tile-pop { 0% { scale(0) } 100% { scale(1) } }` to app.css
+  - [x] Tile.svelte applies `animation: tile-pop 200ms` when `isNew` prop is true
+
+- [x] Task 2: Sequential timing (AC: #2)
+  - [x] Pop animation starts on DOM insertion — tile appears after slide completes naturally since spawned tiles are added with the new grid state
+
+- [x] Task 3: Reduced motion support (AC: #3)
+  - [x] Already handled by `@media (prefers-reduced-motion)` rule setting `animation-duration: 0s !important` from Story 3.1
+
+- [x] Task 4: Verify all tests pass
+  - [x] 59 tests passing, no regressions
+
+## Dev Notes
+
+- `isNew` flag already tracked by tile-tracker.js from Story 3.1
+- Animation CSS added to app.css (centralized @keyframes)
+- Tile.svelte conditionally applies animation based on `isNew` prop
+
+## Dev Agent Record
+
+### Agent Model Used
+Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context)
+
+### Completion Notes List
+- Added @keyframes tile-pop to app.css
+- Tile.svelte applies pop animation conditionally via $derived `animation` property
+- prefers-reduced-motion already handled from Story 3.1
+
+### File List
+- src/app.css (modified — @keyframes tile-pop)
+- src/components/Tile.svelte (modified — conditional animation)

+# Story 3.3: Tile Merge Bounce Animation
+
+Status: done
+
+## Story
+
+As a player,
+I want merged tiles to bounce briefly,
+so that I get satisfying visual feedback when tiles combine.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. When two tiles merge, the resulting tile plays a bounce animation scaling from 1.0 to 1.2 back to 1.0 over 200ms using CSS @keyframes
+2. The bounce animation can run concurrently with the score float animation
+3. When prefers-reduced-motion is enabled, the merged tile appears at normal scale with no animation
+
+## Tasks / Subtasks
+
+- [x] Task 1: Add @keyframes tile-merge animation (AC: #1)
+  - [x] Added `@keyframes tile-merge { 0% { scale(1) } 50% { scale(1.2) } 100% { scale(1) } }` to app.css
+  - [x] Tile.svelte applies `animation: tile-merge 200ms` when `isMerged` prop is true
+
+- [x] Task 2: Concurrent with score float (AC: #2)
+  - [x] Tile bounce and score float are independent CSS animations on different elements — naturally concurrent
+
+- [x] Task 3: Reduced motion support (AC: #3)
+  - [x] Already handled by `@media (prefers-reduced-motion)` rule from Story 3.1
+
+- [x] Task 4: Verify all tests pass
+  - [x] 59 tests passing, no regressions

+# Story 3.4: Score Float Animation
+
+Status: done
+
+## Story
+
+As a player,
+I want to see "+N" float up from the score when I earn points,
+so that I feel the immediate reward of each merge.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. When a merge occurs and the score increases, a "+N" text appears near the score box and animates upward, fading out over 600ms with ease-out timing
+2. Multiple merges in a single move show a single "+N" float with the total score delta
+3. When prefers-reduced-motion is enabled, no float animation appears (score value still updates)
+
+## Tasks / Subtasks
+
+- [x] Task 1: Add @keyframes score-float (AC: #1)
+  - [x] Added `@keyframes score-float` (translateY + opacity) to app.css
+  - [x] ScoreBoard.svelte renders float elements with 600ms animation, auto-removed after completion
+
+- [x] Task 2: Track score delta in App.svelte (AC: #2)
+  - [x] Added `scoreDelta` state, computed as `newState.score - gameState.score` before state update
+  - [x] Passed `scoreDelta` prop to ScoreBoard
+
+- [x] Task 3: Reduced motion support (AC: #3)
+  - [x] Already handled by `@media (prefers-reduced-motion)` rule from Story 3.1
+
+- [x] Task 4: Verify all tests pass
+  - [x] 59 tests passing, no regressions

+# Story 3.5: Win & Game Over Overlay Fade Animation
+
+Status: done
+
+## Story
+
+As a player,
+I want win and game over overlays to fade in smoothly,
+so that the transition feels polished rather than abrupt.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. When the game reaches a win or game over state, the overlay fades in with an 800ms opacity transition from 0 to 1
+2. When prefers-reduced-motion is enabled, the overlay appears instantly with no fade transition
+
+## Tasks / Subtasks
+
+- [x] Task 1: Add @keyframes overlay-fade (AC: #1)
