Components embedded in rich text were missing their initial animation CSS because generateInitialAnimationCSS only walks the page-level layer tree. Rich-text component layers are namespaced differently and excluded from that traversal, causing a flash before GSAP initializes. Generate and inject initial animation CSS per embedded component block in both the React client path and the SSR HTML path. Made-with: Cursor

Summary
Fix components embedded in rich text losing their initial animation state on
the published website. The initial animation CSS (opacity, transforms, hidden
state) was not generated for these components because their layer IDs are
namespaced differently and excluded from the page-level CSS traversal.
