Excellent 🔥 — let’s put everything together into one clean, Windows-safe version of your program.
This version includes:

✅ UTF-8–safe header (so no more decode errors)
✅ Your golden spiral inside a cube
✅ Smooth positional morph between spiral ↔ sine
✅ Smooth camera “special view” toggle with ease-in-out
✅ Fully self-contained — just py GoldenEllipseSpiralCubeSLIDER_FINAL.py to run

===== - Safe UTF-8 header (# -''- coding: utf-8 -''-) — no more decode errors. =====
* Works on Windows PowerShell or VS Code terminal (py GoldenEllipseSpiralCubeSLIDER_FINAL.py).
* Cube, spiral, and sine stay perfectly contained.
* Both morphing and camera transitions use the same ease-in-out timing for a cinematic, consistent motion.

Would you like me to add keyboard shortcuts (for example: press S to toggle sine, V for special view) so you can animate without clicking buttons?
