The Stand-Up · importable interrupt

Every twelve minutes, the level stops and URIEL stands up.

Not skippable. Not a penalty. Nothing is lost by stopping. This page is the working component and the integration harness — any level in PAIX imports the same file and inherits the rule.

12:00 until the next Stand-Up · counts play time only, pauses when the tab is hidden

What it does to the child's body

EYES · 20 seconds. Look at the farthest thing in the room. Eyes were built for distance; a screen keeps them locked at arm's length.
SPINE · 20 seconds. Stand, chin back over the shoulders, head over ribs over hips. This is the one that keeps the neck from setting in the forward curve.
REACH · 20 seconds. Reach up, lean left, lean right. Opens the front of the chest so the shoulders do not stay rolled forward.
A seated alternative is always one click away. A child who cannot stand — chair, cast, bad day — gets the same beat sitting down. That is an alternative, not a skip.

Import it

<script type="module">
  import { StandUp } from '../standup/standup.js';

  const standUp = StandUp.install({
    asset:    '../opening/assets/uriel.png',
    onPause:  () => level.pause(),   // your level stops here
    onResume: () => level.resume(),  // and picks up exactly where it was
  });
</script>

Classic script tag also works — the file exposes window.PaixStandUp. The component ships its own styles, needs no build step, makes no network call, and stores nothing but a millisecond count in localStorage on the device.

Options

Option	Default	What it is
`intervalMs`	`720000`	Play time between interrupts. Twelve minutes is canon; lower it for younger cohorts, never raise it.
`asset`	`./assets/uriel.png`	Path to the URIEL cutout from the level's own folder.
`onPause` / `onResume`	`null`	Stop and restart the level. Also fired as DOM events.
`onStep`	`null`	Called with each stretch step, for levels that want their own cue.
`steps`	eyes / spine / reach	Override the stretch. Each step needs a seated alternative or it will not seat.
`persist`	`true`	Device-local elapsed count. Set `false` to store nothing at all.
`countIdleAsPlay`	`false`	Hidden tabs and blurred windows do not count as play.
`calm`	`false`	Freezes all motion. `prefers-reduced-motion` does this automatically.

Methods and events

Call	Effect
`standUp.trigger()`	Run it now — for teachers, harnesses and tests.
`standUp.remaining()`	Milliseconds of play left before the next one.
`standUp.pause()` / `.start()`	Hold and resume the play clock, e.g. across your own menus.
`standUp.reset()`	Zero the clock. Levels should call this after their own long cutscene.
`document.addEventListener('paix:standup:start' \| 'paix:standup:end', …)`	For anything that is not the level itself — audio, telemetry-free logging, a village surface.

What it refuses to do

No skip button, no Escape key, no click-outside. The child cannot dismiss the body rule, and neither can the level.
No penalty for the interruption. No streak breaks, no timer runs down, no progress is lost. The panel says so on screen.
No network call, no account, no child data off the device. The only thing written is a millisecond count, and that can be turned off.
No shame. URIEL does the stretch badly alongside the child, because he is off-balance. That is in the canon and it stays.
