Pulsing scrolling triangle outline with scanlines

A picture built in steps: zoom in and out, then scroll, then draw triangle outline, then color it, then finish with scanlines. Every step is listed below with its exact numbers.

The target picture for the shader challenge "Pulsing scrolling triangle outline with scanlines"
Recreate this picture. You pass at a 99% match, then try to write it in fewer characters than the par.

How this challenge works

You write a fragment shader that draws the picture above, live in your browser. A match bar shows how close you are, and the score combines accuracy, code size (the par is 387 characters in Unity (Built-in)) and GPU speed. Work in HLSL, GLSL, WGSL, Metal or Godot and export the result when you are done.

The numbers you need

Space
p = (uv - 0.5) * float2(aspect, 1.0)
Step 1: Zoom in and out
p *= 1.0 + 0.35 * sin(time * 2.5)
Step 2: Scroll
p.x += time * -0.25
Step 3: Pattern
d = max(abs(p.x) * 0.866 + p.y * 0.5, -p.y) - 0.27 * 0.5; m = 1.0 - smoothstep(0.012, 0.02, abs(d))
Step 4: Colors
lerp(float3(0.9, 0.89, 0.94), float3(0.77, 0.26, 0.83), m)
Step 5: Finish
col *= 0.8 + 0.2 * step(0.5, frac(uv.y * 80.0))
