Feature announcements have a brutal budget. Nobody opens an app to read release notes, so the whole explanation has to land in the moment between opening a screen and tapping the thing they came for.
This one shows the choice rather than describing it: the existing Overtime row, then the new Compensatory Time Off row arriving beside it with the outcome spelled out — overtime hours become leave credits. One sentence, one tap target, and the flow continues where it always did.
The animation doubles as the spec. Timing, easing and the order things settle in were handed to engineering as the reference, which removed the usual round of "is this the right bounce" during build.
