Once the LED in U4 is on, the opto-triac will fire and switch on thyristor U3, which will apply the rectified high-voltage to the pass tube (J4). Because the pass tube needs a heater voltage, I used that also to power the reference and control circuits through rectifier BR1

Capacitors on a voltage regulator? Or just in general

As more current is requested the voltage drops to compensate until the regulator can make the required adjustments. When less current is required the voltage rises, again until the regulator can adjust itself accordingly. If the capacitor is too big it can take too long to respond to high frequency demands for current.
