⚡ Bolt: Optimize GradientBlinds render loop

- Reuse array/object references for pointer coordinates to reduce GC.
- Remove getBoundingClientRect() from animation loop to prevent layout thrashing.

 **Vulnerability:** Allowing users to register or submit forms with disposable email addresses (e.g., mailinator.com) can lead to spam, abuse, and polluted data.
 **Learning:** While true email verification requires a backend or API, a simple client-side blocklist of common disposable domains is a highly effective, low-cost first line of defense.
 **Prevention:** Maintain a list of known disposable domains (e.g., `BLOCKED_DOMAINS`) and check the domain part of the email address during validation.

-## 2026-02-14 - Backtick Injection in Template Strings
-**Vulnerability:** Standard HTML sanitization often ignores backticks (` `), which can be dangerous if the sanitized string is injected into a JavaScript template literal context.
-**Learning:** While HTML entities (`<`, `"`) protect HTML contexts, modern JS uses backticks for strings. Failing to escape them allows attackers to break out of the string boundary if the data is used in a JS context.
-**Prevention:** Explicitly replace backticks with ``` in sanitization routines intended for general-purpose use.
