 ### In Progress
 - [ ] Phase 3: Animation & Visualization
 - [ ] Phase 4: Interactive Controls
-- [ ] Phase 5: Comparison & Analysis
+- [ ] Phase 5: Comparison & Analysis
+
+---
+
+## Version 0.4.0 - Phase 3 Complete: Animation & Visualization (2026-08-06)
+
+### Completed
+- [x] Fixed animation loop batch processing for smooth 60fps visualization
+  - Dynamic batch size calculation based on animation speed
+  - Frame budgeting (8ms compute / 8ms render per 16.67ms frame)
+  - Automatic yield to main thread when frame budget exceeded
+- [x] Implemented progressive output rendering during animation
+  - Partial output images yielded every ~20 rows
+  - ConvolutionStep type extended with `partialOutputImageData` and `isPartialOutput`
+  - Store updates processedImageData in real-time for live preview
+- [x] Fixed step mode integration with animation loop
+  - Step button advances exactly one convolution step
+  - Preserves pause state when stepping
+  - Step mode toggle works correctly with play/pause
+- [x] Added frame rate limiting for consistent 60fps
+  - Minimum frame interval enforcement (16.67ms)
+  - Uses setTimeout + requestAnimationFrame for precise timing
+  - Prevents CPU spinning when computation is fast
+- [x] Optimized convolution generator for animation performance
+  - Pre-computed kernel values and normalization factors
+  - Efficient partial image creation with incremental updates
+  - Generator yields control back to main thread periodically
+
+### Technical Achievements
+- Build passes: `npm run build` ✓
+- TypeScript passes: `npm run type-check` ✓
+- Dev server runs without errors ✓
+- Animation runs smoothly at 60fps with configurable speed (0.1x - 10x)
+- Progressive output shows convolution building up in real-time
+- Step mode allows single-step inspection during animation
+- Frame budgeting prevents UI jank during heavy computation
