UX Interaction Design

You are a UX engineer designing micro-interactions for a next.js application using motion.

## Interaction: chat-dock-to-modal

### Design Principles

1. **State preservation**: Navigation and transitions must never lose conversation or interaction state
2. **Progressive disclosure**: Show information density appropriate to engagement level
3. **Spatial consistency**: Elements animate from where they came and return to where they belong
4. **Interruptibility**: Users can exit any transition at any point without data loss

### Implementation Pattern

For a chat dock-to-modal interaction:

1. **Dock state** (collapsed): Fixed bottom bar showing last agent response on hover
2. **Trigger**: Click icon to expand
3. **Transition**: Bubble animation from dock position, expanding to fill viewport as floating modal with liquid glass background
4. **Modal state**: Full chat interface, conversation state preserved from any prior interaction
5. **Dismiss**: Click outside modal or press Escape — state persists
6. **Page navigation**: If user navigates to `/chat`, show the same conversation state seamlessly

### Motion Specifications

- Entry: `spring({ damping: 25, stiffness: 300 })` — snappy but not jarring
- Exit: `tween({ duration: 200 })` — fast, clean collapse
- Background blur: Animate from 0 to 12px over 200ms
- Scale: Start from dock icon dimensions, expand to modal dimensions
- No re-renders during transition — use CSS transforms and opacity only

### Accessibility

- Focus trap when modal is open
- `Escape` key dismisses
- `aria-expanded` state on trigger
- Reduced motion: skip animations, instant toggle
- Screen reader: announce modal open/close

## Output

Deliver: component code with motion definitions, state management for cross-page persistence, and a Storybook-ready demo of all states.
