Accessibility
- The portal image is inside a native button with `aria-label` set to `primaryLabel` and is disabled while traveling.
- The portal image uses the fixed alt text `Portal`.
- Destination CTAs use links when rendered with `asChild`; the image and button-based primary action use native buttons.
- Hover, scale, and pulse motion include reduced-motion overrides.
