glitch passes in cyan/magenta, then settles to the clean lime. -->

/* ── Glitch Button ───────────────────────────────────────────
A solid lime CTA (dark label, 4.5:1+ contrast). On hover it lifts
slightly and runs two short cyan/magenta clip-path glitch bursts,
then rests on the clean lime fill. No idle/looping flash.
Customize:
--nuda-gbtn-a / --nuda-gbtn-b : glitch pass colors

}How to use Glitch Button
Paste the HTML where you need it and the CSS into a global stylesheet (or a <style> tag). Every class is prefixed nuda- so it never collides with Tailwind or your own styles. Tweak the CSS custom properties to match your design system.
Works in React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Next.js, Nuxt, Laravel Blade, Django, Rails — or a single .html file. No npm install, no build step.
