Rename the existing Angle control to Angle XY (the in-plane spiral/swirl) and add Angle Z, which tilts each cell's offset into depth and projects it orthographically back to 2D. The tool is flat — Figma, Penpot, and SVG have no depth axis — so the math is 3D internally but the output is plain 2D positions, keeping export and round-trip behavior intact. angleZ=0 reproduces the prior pure-XY output exactly, and the field is optional for back-compat with saved configs and library entries. https://claude.ai/code/session_013Gbz4nk3D9f6H16U1jrbMY
Add a Depth control (0-100%) that uses each cell's projected depth from the Angle Z tilt as a near/far cue: cells leaning toward the viewer grow and stay bright, cells leaning away shrink and fade. The angle engine now returns the normalized depth alongside the projected offset, and the shading folds into the per-cell scale/opacity in the shared evaluateCell, so both the browser preview and the Figma/Penpot orchestrator pick it up with no render-path changes. depthShade defaults to 0 (pure projection) and is a no-op without a nonzero angleZ. The diff layer re-applies scale/opacity when shading is active and position or tilt changes. Library entries can declare an optional depthShade. https://claude.ai/code/session_013Gbz4nk3D9f6H16U1jrbMY

Code-review follow-ups (#3, #6): - Add cellCount() with a MAX_CELLS (10000) cap, used by the orchestrator and preview render loop, so a 50×50×50 config renders a truncated result instead of cloning 125k host nodes and freezing. - Library "every formula evaluates" test now iterates layers (passing l), so 3D presets like Cube are exercised at every depth, not just layer 0.
