docs: animate the handbook figures (WebP walkthroughs + request-form GIF) - #57

Conversation
A ~5s looping GIF shows picking a leave type, a date range, and the working-day estimate, live balance preview and coverage warning filling themselves in. Embedded in the in-app "Requesting time off" handbook chapter (replacing the static dialog figure) and as the lead image of the README's "For employees" section.

Brings the handbook to life: the figures that actually show something happening become short, looping, animated clips instead of static screenshots.
In-app handbook → animated WebP (renders in a browser, so WebP is far lighter and sharper than GIF):
README → GIF (
screenshots/request-form.gif) so it autoplays inline on GitHub.The genuinely static figures (dashboard widget, availability settings, entitlement editor, statistics, who's-off, sick-leave) stay as crisp stills — a loop there would add motion but no information.
Weight: ~10 MB of WebP for seven animated figures — roughly a third of what the equivalent GIFs would cost. Recorded on the dev instance with a neutralised backdrop and a tutorial cursor (Playwright → ffmpeg frames →
img2webp). Stale PNG/GIF assets the handbook no longer references are deleted.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
