Goal

Render a live countdown on the strip itself — a progress bar filling toward a moment (New Year's Eve midnight being the headline case), culminating in a celebratory burst.

Why it's valuable

A showpiece feature that's perfectly on-theme for holiday lighting and demos beautifully. Reusable for any "moment" — a countdown to any event's opening phase.

Sketch

A special scheme/render mode that maps remaining time to LED fill along the configured segments.
Scheduler drives frequent state pushes over the countdown window; a final "burst" scheme at zero.
Configurable per event (enable countdown + target moment + burst scheme).
Bounded push frequency to avoid hammering the device.

Acceptance criteria

A configured countdown fills the strip toward the target moment
A burst/celebration scheme fires at zero
Works for NYE and generalizes to any event moment
Push frequency is bounded and configurable

Proposed enhancement (brainstorm follow-up).
