Description
Add tools for slide animations and transitions.
Suggested:
- pptx_get_animations (list all animations on a slide — trigger, effect type, timing, target shape)
- pptx_add_animation (add entrance/exit/emphasis animation to shape)
- pptx_get_slide_transitions (read transition effect and duration)
- pptx_set_slide_transition (add transition between slides)
Business value: create dynamic presentations, automate slideshow design.
Complexity: Very High — animation model in OpenXML (CTTiming, CTBuildList, CTAnimationGroup) is deeply nested and complex. Lower priority than content access tools.

Research direction
Start by mapping the proposed pptx_get_animations, pptx_add_animation, pptx_get_slide_transitions, and pptx_set_slide_transition entry points to the existing toolkit. Read the OpenXML CTTiming, CTBuildList, and CTAnimationGroup model described in the issue first. Done means the APIs can read and write the requested animation and transition properties, including timing and target shape data.
