Prompt for this run
Build a planar double-pendulum simulation on a canvas with a colorful fading trail at the lower bob. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Model two point masses connected by massless rigid rods under gravity, without damping or external driving. Use the coupled equations of motion rather than independent sine-wave animations. - Use equal masses and rod lengths, gravity of 9.81 in consistent simulation units, initial angles of 120 and -10 degrees measured from downward vertical, and zero initial angular velocities. - Draw a fixed pivot, both rods and bobs, and a bounded fading trail of the lower bob. Keep both rod lengths constant and the pendulum visible. - Provide Pause/Resume and Reset. Reset restores the stated initial conditions and clears the trail. - Use a numerically stable integration scheme and time step so ordinary playback does not explode or freeze. Verify: Sample the pendulum at several moments to inspect coupled motion, connected rods, and the lower-bob trail. Pause and resume to check the motion control, then reset and confirm that the starting pose and cleared trail return.

Built `index.html` — a self-contained, fully offline double-pendulum page. **Implementation highlights** - Coupled equations of motion for two equal masses/rods (m₁=m₂=1, L₁=L₂=1, g=9.81 — general formula with cos2(θ₁−θ₂) denominator, no driving/damping), integrated with RK4 at a 1/480 s substep with frame-delta clamping for stability. - Initial conditions θ₁=120°, θ₂=−10° from downward vertical, ω₁=ω₂=0. - Fixed pivot with mount, two rigid rods, distinct bobs; colorful hue-swept fading trail (bounded 900 points) of the lower bob; pivot/scale keeps the full reach visible (fixed an initial framing bug where the upper bob went off-screen at 120°). - Pause/Resume and Reset buttons (plus Space/R shortcuts); Reset restores initial angles/velocities and clears the trail. Live readouts of angles, angular velocities, trail length, and total energy. **What I actually checked in the browser** - Loaded the page multiple times: coupled motion observed with connected rods of constant length, colorful fading lower-bob trail, and total energy stable (~0.15) over many seconds with an empty console — no explosion or freezing. - Pause via Space (button toggles to Resume): consecutive inspections showed identical angles/trail count (frozen); resuming changed the angles again. - Reset via R: confirmed θ₁=120.0°, θ₂=−10.0°, ω=0.00 and trail cleared (0), with the start pose visible on the canvas. **Remains unverified:** exact Pause/Reset button mouse-click geometry (verified via the equivalent Space/R shortcuts), and long-term (minutes-scale) energy drift beyond the sampled playback interval.
