## [0.2.2] - 2026-08-18

### Fixed
- Current download/upload speed always displaying `0 B/s` — the spring animation in `animate.Spring` was numerically unstable at the UI tick interval (130ms), since `1 - damping*dt` evaluated to a negative damping factor. Velocity flipped sign and grew every tick, driving the animated value deeply negative, where `FormatBpsExt` clamped it to `0 B/s`. Damping now uses an exponential factor (`exp(-damping*dt)`), keeping the spring stable and convergent at any step size. The sparkline and peak values were unaffected because they read raw history samples directly.

Limit and correct the stability claim.

Exponential damping keeps the damping multiplier positive, but Spring still performs explicit force integration without a dt bound or substepping. This change does not establish convergence at every possible step size. Limit the claim to the tested 130 ms UI interval unless a timestep contract is added. Also change evaluated to evaluates.

In `@CHANGELOG.md` at line 4, Update the changelog entry’s stability claim to
state that exponential damping keeps the spring stable and convergent at the
tested 130 ms UI interval, rather than at any step size. Also correct
“evaluated” to “evaluates.”

Reject non-finite values explicitly.

If Spring returns NaN, both math.Abs(val-target) > ... and val < minVal are false. The regression test can then pass incorrectly. Check for NaN and infinity immediately after each spring update.

Proposed test fix 
 	for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
 		val = Spring(val, target, &vel, 0.13)
+		if math.IsNaN(val) || math.IsInf(val, 0) {
+			t.Fatalf("Spring returned a non-finite value at tick %d: %f", i, val)
+		}
 		if val < minVal {
 			minVal = val
 		}

In `@internal/animate/ease_test.go` around lines 57 - 67, Update the Spring
convergence test loop after each Spring call to explicitly fail when val is NaN
or infinite, before the minVal and convergence checks; retain the existing
oscillation and convergence assertions for finite values.
