**Features:**
- 8 emotional states (happy, alert, confused, sleeping, excited, emergency, listening, talking)
- Real-time ROS2 subscriptions:
  - /saltybot/state (emotion triggers)
  - /saltybot/battery (status display)
  - /saltybot/target_track (EXCITED emotion)
  - /saltybot/obstacles (ALERT emotion)
  - /social/speech/is_speaking (TALKING emotion)
  - /social/speech/is_listening (LISTENING emotion)
- Tap-to-toggle status overlay
- 60fps Canvas animation on Wayland
- ~80MB total memory (Node.js + browser)

**Files:**
- public/index.html — Main page (1024×600 fullscreen)
- public/salty-face.js — Canvas rendering + ROS2 integration
- server.js — Node.js HTTP server with CORS support
- systemd/salty-face-server.service — Auto-start systemd service
- docs/SALTY_FACE_WEB_APP.md — Complete setup & API documentation

**Integration:**
- Runs in Chromium kiosk (Issue #374)

- Serves on localhost:3000 (configurable)

**Next:** Issue #371 (Accessibility enhancements)
