Subject: [PATCH] feat: add Pomodoro Timer Prototype

Single HTML page with embedded CSS/JS implementing:
- Configurable timer input (minutes only)
- MM:SS countdown display
- Start/Pause/Resume/Reset controls
- Web Audio API chime notification (works in background tabs)
- Graceful permission handling and error states
- ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, screen reader support
- Input validation (1-999 minutes, integers only)
- Visual state indication (running/paused/completed)

+# Pomodoro Timer — Testing and Browser Limitations
+
+## Background Audio Testing
+
+### How it works
+The timer uses the **Web Audio API** (`AudioContext` + `OscillatorNode`) for notification sounds. This is the recommended approach because:
+
+- Chrome **does NOT throttle** Web Audio API in background tabs (unlike `HTMLAudioElement` / `<audio>` tags)
+- Audio timing is handled by the system audio clock, not the JS event loop
+- OscillatorNode produces a clean chime without needing external audio files
+
+### Test Scenarios
+
+1. **Background audio** — Set 30 seconds, start timer, switch to another tab. Sound should play clearly when timer hits 0.
+2. **Permission denied** — Block sound in Chrome Site Settings → the timer still works visually with guidance text
+3. **Permission granted later** — AudioContext initializes on first Start click per Chrome autoplay policy
+4. **Tab inactive** — `setInterval` continues counting in background; tested with 30s timer and 60s of switching tabs
+
+### Known Browser Limitations
+
+| Behavior | Chrome | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Background Web Audio | ✅ Works | OscillatorNode not throttled |
+| Background `<audio>` | ❌ Paused | Do not use HTMLAudioElement |
+| AudioContext suspend | Resumed on interaction | First Start click initializes |
+| Notification API | ✅ Works | Requires permission |
+| Timer accuracy | ±100ms | Standard setInterval drift |
+
+## Key Technical Decisions
+
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|---|---|
+| Web Audio API over HTMLAudioElement | Only reliable way to play sound in background tabs |
+| OscillatorNode over audio files | Zero dependencies, works offline, simple chime |
+| setInterval over Web Workers | Sufficient accuracy for a pomodoro timer (±100ms acceptable) |
+| Single HTML file | Meets bounty requirement exactly |
+| No external deps | Self-contained, works offline |
