Fireworks · hy4

Let me build a self-contained index.html with a full-screen canvas fireworks display. Need to verify via browser tools: trigger shell at chosen location, sample ascent, burst, early particle fall, check click affects launch target, particles spread and fade, Clear empties scene.

I should design the app with introspection hooks perhaps via window.__fireworks state so browser inspect can query state. Let me plan implementation.

Requirements:
- Full-screen canvas, procedural drawing only, no external assets.
- Click sky launches shell upward from bottom toward clicked location. Shell explodes into radial burst of colored particles.
- Particles gravity, fade, removed after lifetime. Multiple overlapping shells/bursts.
- One demo shell automatically on initial load.
- Clear button removes active shells, particles, trails. Controls usable after resizing.
- Trails: maybe draw with alpha rect each frame (motion blur) or store trail history. Clear should remove trails too: if using fade overlay, clearing canvas with solid fill removes trails. Could also have explicit trail arrays.

Design: canvas fixed fullscreen, device pixel ratio handling, resize listener. Background: dark gradient with stars (procedural, deterministic maybe). Could draw static background each frame plus trail fade overlay? Simpler robust approach: maintain a separate trail canvas or use per-object trail arrays + long-lived ghost sparks. Let's do explicit trails: shells have trail points; particles have trail points; also embers. Draw everything from arrays each frame after clearing with opaque background (night sky gradient + stars). That makes Clear trivially empty. Fading trails via alpha based on age.

Physics:
- Shell start: x near bottom center-ish with slight offset based on target x, y = height + some. Target = click (tx,ty). Compute flight duration based on distance, e.g. 0.9-1.3 s. Use velocity with gravity? Easiest: compute initial velocity such that shell reaches target at time T under gravity: vy = (ty - y0 - 0.5*g*T^2)/T; vx = (tx-x0)/T. Then at t>=T explode at current position (which should be near target). This ensures launch-to-burst visible. Need cap T to keep target reachable and ensure ascent visible. T = clamp based on distance: maybe 0.75 + distance factor 0.0005 (max 1.5s). g for shell = 220 px/s^2 maybe. Use dt capped.

Actually fixed target with gravity formula might have vy negative (upward) if target is near bottom: ty ~ h-50, y0=h+20. Need launch to still go upward from bottom toward clicked location—if clicking near bottom, shell would arc? Requirement "launches a visible shell upward from the bottom of the scene toward the clicked location". If click near bottom, trajectory could dip. We can enforce apex at/near target by using a parametric ease-out trajectory instead of ballistic: x = lerp(x0,tx,u), y = lerp(y0,ty, easeOut(u)) with a slight arc? This is simple and visually clear: shell rises quickly then slows near target. Actually easeOut makes fast at start, slow near end—typical rocket. Explode at u=1 exactly at target. Trails show ascent. That's robust. But "ascent" will be visible. Let's use physics-like with vertical velocity decelerating: y = y0 + (ty-y0)*(1-(1-u)^2), x linear. Good.

Could add slight jitter/arc: x = x0 + (tx-x0)*u + sin(u*pi)*sway small.

- Explosion: N particles (60-110) with speeds radial distribution, palette per burst chosen randomly (hue base + variations), with particle types: core sparkle, ring, comet. Each particle: x,y,vx,vy,life,maxLife,color/hue,size,trail array, drag, gravity, twinkle. Fade alpha = (1 - age/maxLife)^? Draw glow via radial gradients? Gradients per particle each frame may be expensive but manageable with ~few hundred. Use shadowBlur/globalCompositeOperation 'lighter' with small circles and line trails. Maybe use cached radial gradient sprites per hue for glow: offscreen canvases generated procedurally. Simpler: use ctx.shadowColor/shadowBlur on arcs—but expensive. Could use 'lighter' with two draws: big low-alpha circle and small bright core. That's fine.

- Trails: each particle stores last up to 8 positions, drawn as line segments with decreasing alpha. Shell stores trail points too. Clear removes all arrays and repaints background.

- Also add secondary sparks/embers that spawn from burst? Not necessary but nice.

Controls: overlay UI top-left or bottom-center with title, buttons: "Launch random", "Clear", maybe "Auto show" toggle? Required Clear. Keep controls usable after resizing: CSS fixed position, pointer events, z-index; canvas resize handler. Note clicks on controls should not launch shell (stopPropagation / check target). Add pointerdown handler on canvas only, controls are separate DOM overlay so canvas click won't fire from buttons anyway (unless overlay covers). Use canvas addEventListener('pointerdown'), so buttons won't trigger. Good.

Need verify with browser tools. Browser tool supports click coords, inspect, screenshot, motion, key, type, scroll. Inspect likely returns DOM/console with ability to evaluate JS? Let's see. In these harnesses, browser inspect often runs JS snippet? Need check. We can use `action: inspect` with maybe text as JS? Let's first run to find out. Typically pi browser tool: "inspect" returns DOM/console info; there may be ability to evaluate via `text` param? Let's examine by trying. Could also expose state in DOM via a hidden element text (debug readout) updated each frame, so inspect can read DOM. That's a clever way to verify state: add a `#stats` element showing shell count, particle count, trail count, avg spread etc maybe hidden-ish but visible small HUD. Then browser inspect DOM can read it. Also expose `window.__fw` with state for potential JS eval. Let's include a small HUD showing "Shells: N • Sparks: M • Trails: K" plus last click target, and maybe stats like burst id. That also helps verification. But need HUD not intrusive.

To verify precise click target and sample ascent/burst/fall: I can use browser motion frames maybe screenshots at intervals. Need tool capabilities. Let's plan to use `browser` tool with actions:
- reload
- inspect (maybe returns console and DOM text)
- screenshot
- motion (frames over time)
- click at coords
- etc.

Maybe the browser tool's `inspect` can take `text` as JS to evaluate? We need discover. Let's run a quick probe after writing initial file. Could also use bash to run headless browser? Maybe playwright installed? Let's check environment; but browser tool is intended. We can use both: browser tool for screenshots, and node + playwright for scripted checks if available. Check with bash `ls /app/pipeline/node_modules | head` etc. But likely no network needed; playwright maybe installed in pi? Let's inspect quickly.

First write index.html. Need thorough design.

Let's sketch code:

HTML:
```
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1,maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no">
<title>Nightfall — Interactive Fireworks</title>
<style> ... </style>
</head>
<body>
<canvas id="sky" aria-label="..."></canvas>
<div class="vignette"></div> maybe CSS pointer-events none
<header class="hud"> title, subtitle </header>
<div class="controls">
  <button id="launch">Launch a shell</button>
  <button id="clear">Clear</button>
  <button id="auto">Auto show: on/off</button>? optional
</div>
<div id="readout" ...> ... </div>
<div class="hint">Click anywhere in the sky ...</div>
<script> ... </script>
</body>
</html>
```

CSS: html,body { margin:0; height:100%; overflow:hidden; background:#030615; } canvas fixed inset 0 width 100% height 100%; display:block; touch-action:none; cursor:crosshair. UI with fixed positions, flex, responsive wrapping, backdrop blur, subtle border, buttons with hover; media queries for small widths. Ensure controls stay usable after resize (fixed and pointer-events auto). `#ui { pointer-events: none }` container with children pointer-events auto. Maybe use a top bar with title left and controls right, and bottom hint centered. On narrow width, wrap.

JS:
```
(() => {
 const canvas = ..., ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
 let W=0,H=0,DPR=1;
 let shells=[], particles=[], sparks=[], stars=[];
 let last=performance.now(), time=0, burstCount=0, lastTarget=null;
 let autoTimer = 0; maybe auto show every ~2.8s toggled? Requirement demo shell automatically on initial load; subsequent shells respond to clicks. Could disable auto after demo to keep "subsequent shells respond to clicks". Better: only one demo shell on load; optional "Auto show" toggle default off. Actually demo shell should be visible before interaction—launch initial shell ~250ms after load toward a nice target (e.g., 0.5W, 0.32H). Then no more automatic shells. Maybe also a few tiny ambient stars twinkle (not shells). Good.
```
Background: draw gradient each frame:
```
const bg = ctx.createLinearGradient(0,0,0,H); bg.addColorStop(0,'#030617'); ... 
```
Cache gradient on resize. Stars generated on resize with seeded PRNG deterministic: 140 stars with x,y,r,alpha,phase. Draw with twinkle alpha = base*(0.65+0.35*sin(time*speed+phase)). Also add horizon glow near bottom, silhouette skyline? Procedural city skyline could look nice but might distract; maybe add subtle horizon gradient. Also a moon? Maybe not needed. Could add faint skyline silhouette drawn from seeded rectangles at bottom, drawn each frame; it gives scene depth. Nice but need ensure canvas click near bottom still works. Fine.

Add water reflection? too much. Keep moderate.

Physics details:
```
const G = 165; // px/s^2 for particles
function launch(tx,ty, opts={}) {
  const x0 = clamp(tx + (Math.random()-0.5)*W*0.24, 30, W-30); // near target x but from bottom. Actually "from the bottom of the scene" maybe x0 near bottom under target with offset. use tx*0.75 + W*0.5*0.25? Let's make x0 = clamp(tx + (Math.random()-.5)*W*.16, 20, W-20)
  const y0 = H + 12;
  const dist = Math.hypot(tx-x0, y0-ty);
  const T = clamp(0.72 + dist/Math.max(W,H)*0.55, 0.75, 1.45);
  const shell = {x0,y0,x:x0,y:y0,tx,ty,T,t:0, hue:..., trail:[], sparks timer,...}
  shells.push(shell); lastTarget = {x: tx,y:ty}; ...
}
```
Could include `launchFrom` with start x maybe W*0.5 + random offset if click far; but target should be click. If we randomize start x relative to target, diagonal ascent visible. Need burst at target exactly: interpolate to tx,ty. Good.

Shell update:
```
s.t += dt;
const u = Math.min(s.t/s.T,1);
const e = 1 - Math.pow(1-u, 2.1); // ease-out
s.x = s.x0 + (s.tx - s.x0)*u + Math.sin(u*Math.PI)*s.sway;
s.y = s.y0 + (s.ty - s.y0)*e;
s.trail.push({x:s.x,y:s.y,age:0}); trim 16
// emit trailing embers every ~0.02s
if (s.t >= s.T) { explode(s.tx, s.ty, s.hue); remove; }
```
Potential issue: with sway, at u=1 sin(pi)=0 so ends at tx,ty. Good.

Trail age: store t and compute based on time rather than increment each per object. Use `born: time` maybe. Simpler store `{x,y,t:time}` and alpha = 1-(time-p.t)/trailLife. Trim by age. For shell trail life 0.42s; particles 0.28s.

Particle update:
```
p.age += dt;
p.vx *= Math.pow(0.985, dt*60) // drag
p.vy = p.vy*drag + G*dt
p.x += p.vx*dt; p.y += p.vy*dt;
p.trail.push({x,y,t:time}); while old shift
p.alpha = Math.pow(1 - p.age/p.life, 1.35);
p.r = p.baseR * (0.4 + 0.6*(1-p.age/p.life));
if (p.age>=p.life || p.y>H+80) remove
// optionally spawn tiny glitter every few frames? skip
```
Explosion:
```
function explode(x,y,hue) {
  const count = 90 + Math.floor(Math.random()*50);
  const baseSpeed = 120 + Math.random()*90;
  const ringSpeed = ...
  for i: angle = i/count*TAU + jitter; speed = baseSpeed*(0.45+Math.random()*0.8) etc.
  hue = (hue + (Math.random()*50-25))%360; sat 90-100; light 55-75
  p = {x,y,vx:cos*speed,vy:sin*speed,life:1.3+Math.random()*1.1, age:0, hue, size:1.2+Math.random()*2.3, trail:[], twinkle...}
  // some "comet" particles with longer trails and slower fade
```
Add a flash at burst: `flashes.push({x,y,t:0,life:0.24,hue})`, drawn as radial gradient. Also maybe a shockwave ring with expanding radius and fade. Clear removes these too. Need readout show active shells, particles, trails, flashes maybe.

Maybe create `bursts` log with last burst center for verification, and `window.__fireworks = { state, launch, clear, ... }`. Also a DOM `#readout` with data attributes: `data-shells`, `data-particles`, `data-trails`, `data-last-target`, `data-last-burst`, `data-bursts`, `data-spread`, `data-avg-alpha`, `data-flashes`. That's very useful for browser inspect via DOM. Keep HUD subtle with monospace text showing counts and last target. Maybe include debug info in hidden element plus visible minimal HUD:
```
<div id="stats" class="stats" aria-live="off">
  <span>shells <b id="sCount">0</b></span> ...
</div>
<div id="debug" hidden data-shells="0" ...></div>
```
But `hidden` element still in DOM; inspect DOM may include attributes. Could keep visible stats with counts and last target. Add `data-*` attributes on `#stats` for automated checks. Good.

Spread metric: compute max distance from last burst center among current particles from that burst id, and count. Fade metric: average alpha of particles in that burst. Sample over time to see spread increases and alpha decreases. Great for verification. Use attribute values rounded.

Need avoid excessive DOM updates each frame? Update every ~100ms. Fine.

Drawing:
```
function draw() {
 ctx.setTransform(DPR,0,0,DPR,0,0);
 ctx.globalCompositeOperation='source-over';
 ctx.fillStyle = bgGradient; ctx.fillRect(0,0,W,H);
 drawStars();
 drawHorizon();
 ctx.globalCompositeOperation='lighter';
 drawFlashes();
 drawTrails();
 drawParticles();
 drawShells();
 ctx.globalCompositeOperation='source-over';
}
```
Background gradient cached on resize; horizon glow radial gradient cached maybe. Stars drawn with fillRect/arc. Skyline silhouettes: draw with rgba(2,5,14,.9) rectangles with tiny lit windows (tiny dots) maybe deterministic. Draw after stars before fireworks. Might be pretty. But `source-over` skyline could obscure bottom launch start; okay.

For glow sprites: create offscreen canvases for each hue bucket (e.g., 24 hues) with radial gradient from white-ish center to transparent. Then draw scaled at particle position. But no external assets; offscreen canvas procedural is fine. Actually simpler to draw circles with `ctx.shadowBlur` maybe heavy. Let's use cached sprites:
```
const sprites = [];
for (let i=0;i<36;i++){
 const c=document.createElement('canvas'); c.width=c.height=64;
 const g=c.getContext('2d'); const grad=g.createRadialGradient(32,32,0,32,32,32);
 grad.addColorStop(0,`hsla(${h},100%,85%,1)`); ... 
 g.fillStyle=grad; g.fillRect(0,0,64,64);
 sprites.push(c);
}
```
Drawing with `drawImage(sprite, x-r, y-r, 2r, 2r)` with globalAlpha = alpha. Then small bright core `ctx.fillStyle='#fff'; ctx.globalAlpha=alpha*0.9; ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(x,y,size*0.35,..); ctx.fill();` But drawing a core for each particle requires beginPath; fine. Could batch cores by color? not necessary.

Trails: for each particle trail points, draw lines with alpha proportional to age and particle alpha:
```
ctx.lineCap='round'; 
for(let i=1;i<t.length;i++){
 const a = ...;
 ctx.strokeStyle = `hsla(${p.hue},100%,65%,${a})`;
 ctx.lineWidth = p.size * (0.5+...) 
 ctx.beginPath(); moveTo(prev); lineTo(cur); stroke();
}
```
With 'lighter' composite, trails glow. Several hundred particles × 8 segments = maybe 2000 strokes per frame; acceptable but could be heavy in headless screenshot. Let's keep trail length <= 6 and particle count ~80 per burst, with max particles maybe 700. Good.

Shell drawing: trail as bright gold/white line taper, head as glowing dot with sprite. Shell trail points from consecutive positions; draw gradient strokes. Could draw multiple segments with alpha fade. Add small flicker sparks around shell. Good.

Flashes: radial gradient circle with alpha decreasing; shockwave ring stroke.

Clear:
```
function clearAll(){
 shells.length=0; particles.length=0; flashes.length=0; trails implicitly in objects removed; lastBurst=null? maybe keep stats? Requirement remove active shells, particles, and trails. Could also reset burst stats but keep lastTarget maybe. To confirm scene emptied, stats should show 0 shells, 0 particles, 0 trails, 0 flashes. Keep lastBurst info maybe not needed; set `lastBurst = null; burstCount=0?` Hmm automated check may want history: clicking after clear works. Clear should stop auto? Since only demo auto on load, no issue. Keep `burstCount` cumulative maybe readout show empty. Set lastBurst=null; spread=0.
 draw background immediately (clear trails from canvas). Since we redraw opaque background every frame, trails vanish next frame; call render once synchronously for immediate visual clear.
}
```
Need ensure "Keep controls usable after resizing" — resize handler updates W/H/DPR, cached gradients, star positions, skyline; controls fixed by CSS. Ensure existing particles positions maybe scale? Could keep them; if resized, maybe clamp target. Fine. Also reset canvas transform each draw.

Demo shell on load: after resize, `setTimeout(()=>launch(W*0.5,H*0.28), 350)`. In headless browser, initial screenshot might be taken before burst; maybe make demo launch quickly and flight ~1s. Could also make demo burst visible with enough particles. Maybe launch at 200ms with T~1.0s. Screenshot after reload likely at some time; motion tool can capture frames. We can also seed a "welcome" faint prompt. Requirement says launch one demonstration shell automatically on initial load so effect visible before interaction. We'll launch at 250ms. Maybe ensure it's visible by also having a small static "preview" glow? Not necessary.

Potential verification: click at chosen location via browser click with x,y. Need sample ascent, burst, early fall. With browser tool, maybe `motion` captures frames after clicking? Let's understand tool. Let's write file and then inspect. Also perhaps use Playwright via node to script our own detailed checks. Let's check available packages first in parallel with writing? Tools can run in parallel if independent. I'll check environment first quickly.

Interesting: `browser inspect` says no index.html yet. Playwright available at /app/pipeline/node_modules/playwright (global path) but not resolvable from cwd; can require absolute path. We can use it for detailed verification if browser tool doesn't provide JS eval. Need maybe browser tool runs its own server/sandbox. Playwright with file:// path may work and no network. Let's use both.

First write index.html. Need be careful with code correctness. Let's construct full file.

Detailed JS design:

```
<script>
(() => {
'use strict';
const canvas = document.getElementById('sky');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d', {alpha:false});
const statsEl = document.getElementById('stats');
const TAU = Math.PI*2;
const clamp=(v,a,b)=>Math.max(a,Math.min(b,v));
const rand=(a,b)=>a+Math.random()*(b-a);
let W=innerWidth, H=innerHeight, DPR=1;
let bg, horizon, stars=[], skyline=[], sprites=[];
const shells=[], particles=[], flashes=[];
let last=performance.now(), clock=0, statsTimer=0;
let lastTarget=null, lastBurst=null, burstSerial=0;
let seed=12345;
function rnd(){ seed = (seed*1664525+1013904223)>>>0; return seed/4294967296; }
```

Maybe use separate seeded function for background on resize so consistent; call `seed=...` reset each resize.

`makeSprites()`:
```
for(let i=0;i<36;i++){
 const h=i*10; const c=document.createElement('canvas'); c.width=c.height=64;
 const g=c.getContext('2d');
 const gr=g.createRadialGradient(32,32,0,32,32,32);
 gr.addColorStop(0,'hsla('+h+',100%,92%,1)');
 gr.addColorStop(.18,'hsla('+h+',100%,72%,.82)');
 gr.addColorStop(.55,'hsla('+h+',100%,55%,.22)');
 gr.addColorStop(1,'hsla('+h+',100%,50%,0)');
 g.fillStyle=gr; g.fillRect(0,0,64,64);
 sprites.push(c);
}
```
`pickSprite(hue)`: `sprites[((Math.round(hue/10)%36)+36)%36]`.

Resize:
```
function resize(){
 W=Math.max(1,window.innerWidth); H=Math.max(1,window.innerHeight);
 DPR=Math.min(window.devicePixelRatio||1,2);
 canvas.width=Math.round(W*DPR); canvas.height=Math.round(H*DPR);
 canvas.style.width=W+'px'; canvas.style.height=H+'px';
 ctx.setTransform(DPR,0,0,DPR,0,0);
 bg=ctx.createLinearGradient(0,0,0,H);
 bg.addColorStop(0,'#02030d'); bg.addColorStop(.5,'#080b26'); bg.addColorStop(.82,'#101634'); bg.addColorStop(1,'#1a1730');
 horizon=ctx.createRadialGradient(W*.5,H,0,W*.5,H,Math.max(W*.75,H*.6)); ... maybe with alpha to transparent
 star generation 150 stars: x=rnd()*W, y=rnd()*H*.78, r=.35+rnd()*1.15, a=.18+rnd()*.55, phase=rnd()*TAU, speed=.4+rnd()*1.3
 skyline generation: blocks from x=0 to W with width 20-70, height 15-75 with random windows stored. Use rnd. Then draw skyline as dark blue rect with tiny windows.
 render(); // immediate clear/redraw
}
```
Need `render()` defined before `resize()` call at end; function declarations hoisted, fine.

Background draw:
```
function drawBackground(){
 ctx.globalCompositeOperation='source-over'; ctx.globalAlpha=1;
 ctx.fillStyle=bg; ctx.fillRect(0,0,W,H);
 ctx.fillStyle=horizon; ctx.fillRect(0,0,W,H);
 for star ... ctx.globalAlpha = s.a*(0.72+0.28*Math.sin(clock*s.speed+s.phase)); ctx.fillStyle='#dfe8ff'; ctx.fillRect(s.x,s.y,s.r,s.r); 
 ctx.globalAlpha=1;
 // skyline
 for b: ctx.fillStyle='#050817'; ctx.fillRect(b.x,H-b.h,b.w,b.h); windows...
}
```
Star twinkle uses `clock` seconds.

`drawSkyline`: windows with alpha .18, color warm. Keep few.

`drawTrails`: paths for particle trails. Need compute `age=clock-p.t`; fade = clamp(1-age/p.trailLife,0,1); alpha = fade*fade*p.alpha*0.55. Use `hsla(${p.hue}, 100%, 68%, ${alpha})`. `ctx.lineWidth=Math.max(.5,p.size*(0.35+fade*.5))`. Might be many string interpolations; fine.

Maybe draw all trails in one loop with `ctx.beginPath` per segment. Could batch by color? Not necessary.

Shell trails: separate loop before particles:
```
for (const s of shells){
  for (let i=1;i<s.trail.length;i++){
    const a=...
    ctx.strokeStyle=`rgba(255,${180+...},120,${a})`;
...
```
Also draw head with sprite white/gold.

Particle draw:
```
for (const p of particles) {
 const a=p.alpha * (p.twinkle ? .75+.25*Math.sin(clock*p.tw+p.phase) : 1);
 ctx.globalAlpha=a;
 const r=p.size*6.5; // glow radius
 ctx.drawImage(p.sprite,p.x-r,p.y-r,r*2,r*2);
 ctx.globalAlpha=Math.min(1,a*1.1);
 ctx.fillStyle=`hsl(${p.hue},100%,${p.light}%)`;
 ctx.beginPath(); ctx.arc(p.x,p.y,Math.max(.5,p.size*.55),0,TAU); ctx.fill();
}
ctx.globalAlpha=1;
```
Using `'lighter'` composite gives glow. Use `p.sprite` from pickSprite.

Flashes:
```
for f: 
 const u=f.t/f.life; const a=(1-u)*(1-u);
 const gr=ctx.createRadialGradient(f.x,f.y,0,f.x,f.y,80+u*90);
 gr.addColorStop(0,`hsla(${f.hue},100%,90%,${a*.9})`); ... 
 ctx.fillStyle=gr; ctx.beginPath(); arc(...); fill();
 ctx.strokeStyle=`hsla(...)`; lineWidth=1.5*(1-u)+.5; arc radius=20+u*120; stroke
```
Creating radial gradients per flash per frame is okay.

Update:
```
function update(dt){
 clock += dt; // absolute-ish time from load
 for (let i=shells.length-1;i>=0;i--){
  const s=shells[i]; s.t+=dt; const u=clamp(s.t/s.T,0,1);
  const e=1-Math.pow(1-u,2.05);
  s.x=...; s.y=...;
  s.trail.push({x:s.x,y:s.y,t:clock});
  while(s.trail.length && clock-s.trail[0].t>s.trailLife) s.trail.shift();
  if(u>=1){ explode(s.tx,s.ty,s.hue); shells.splice(i,1); }
 }
 for flashes ... t+=dt, remove if >=life
 for particles ...
}
```
Important: `clock` should be consistent with trail t; yes increment each frame.

Particle drag: `const drag=Math.pow(p.drag,dt*60)` where p.drag ~0.982. gravity per dt: `p.vy += 205*dt`, plus `p.vx *= drag; p.vy *= drag;`. Then x/y update. This yields outward spread then fall.

Particle lifetime ~1.4-2.4s. Fade: `p.alpha = Math.pow(1-p.age/p.life, 1.25)`; and maybe initial fade-in quickly: `p.alpha *= clamp(p.age/0.06,0,1)`. Good.

Explosion spread: Need radial distribution. Use mostly ring speeds 130-260 px/s; with drag 0.982, over 1s distance ~100-150px. That's visible. Need maybe larger for big screen: speed scale = clamp(Math.min(W,H)/800,0.75,1.5). Let's set `const scale = clamp(Math.min(W,H)/760,0.7,1.6);` base speed = 210*scale. On 1200x800, min=800 => scale=1.05, speed ~220. Good.

`explode(x,y,hue)`:
```
const id=++burstSerial;
lastBurst={id,x,y,t:clock,count:0};
flashes.push({x,y,t:0,life:.45,hue});
const count=Math.round(78+Math.random()*36);
const scale=clamp(Math.min(W,H)/760,.7,1.55);
const tilt=rand(0,TAU);
for(let i=0;i<count;i++){
 let angle = (i/count)*TAU + rand(-.09,.09) + tilt;
 let speed = (120+Math.random()*150)*scale;
 if(i%9===0) speed*=.45; // inner cluster
 if(i%13===0) speed*=1.35; // outer streaks
 const h=(hue + rand(-24,26)+360)%360;
 const life=rand(1.25,2.15);
 particles.push({...});
}
// Add a handful of slow golden "embers" with longer life and stronger gravity? optional
```
Maybe add 20 chrysanthemum glitter particles with high drag. Fine.

Need hue palette e.g. `[8, 28, 45, 190, 210, 275, 320]`; random. Could also use multi-color: choose base hue and complementary accent for 20% particles, e.g. hue+160. Nice.

Shell color: choose hue from palette; shell head gold/white with hue tint.

`launch(tx,ty)`:
```
tx=clamp(tx,18,W-18); ty=clamp(ty,18,H-40);
const x0=clamp(tx + rand(-.12,.12)*W, 18, W-18);
const y0=H+14;
const dist=Math.hypot(tx-x0,y0-ty);
const T=clamp(.66+dist/(Math.max(W,H))*0.72,.72,1.35);
const hue=palette[Math.floor(Math.random()*palette.length)];
shells.push({x0,y0,x:x0,y:y0,tx,ty,T,t:0,hue,sway:rand(-28,28)*(W/1200),trail:[{x:x0,y:y0,t:clock}],trailLife:.5,spark:0});
lastTarget={x:Math.round(tx),y:Math.round(ty)};
updateStats(true);
```
If H small, y0-ty positive. T around 0.66+ (800/1200)*.72=1.14s. Good. To make ascent visible, shell starts at bottom; trajectory ease-out means it covers most distance in first half; visible ~1 sec. Good.

Need "visible shell upward from bottom toward clicked location": head with glow and trail. Could also add rising whistle? no audio needed.

`spawnShellEmbers`: during shell update, every 0.025s add a tiny short-lived particle at shell position with low velocity and warm hue. But these count as particles and might interfere with Clear verification? Clear removes them too, fine. They could inflate particle count during ascent, which is okay for verification (ascent sample may show particles >0). But to verify burst spread/fade, `lastBurst` particles have `burstId`; embers could have `burstId=0` and be excluded from metrics. Let's add embers with `burstId=0`, life .35-.65, size .5-1, hue 35, velocities small; they fade quickly. This makes launch trail visible. Need count capped to avoid too many: each shell emits ~40 over 1s. Fine. Implement `emitEmber(s)`.

Could simplify: draw shell trail only, no ember particles. But visual is nicer with embers. Let's include.

`explode` sets `burstId=id` on each particle. Metrics:
```
function burstMetrics(){
 if(!lastBurst) return {spread:0, alpha:0, count:0, fall:0};
 let max=0, sumA=0, sumDy=0,n=0;
 for(const p of particles) if(p.burstId===lastBurst.id){
   const d=Math.hypot(p.x-lastBurst.x,p.y-lastBurst.y); max=Math.max(max,d);
   sumA+=p.alpha; sumDy+=p.y-lastBurst.y; n++;
 }
 return {spread:max, alpha:n?sumA/n:0, count:n, fall:n?sumDy/n:0};
}
```
`fall` average y offset from burst; initially ~0, then positive as gravity acts (though particles spread up and down, average initially ~0 then positive). Early fall can be observed via average vy? Also can compute `avgVy` metric. Add `data-vy` (average vertical velocity) and `data-fall`. Good.

Stats element:
```
<div id="stats" class="stats" data-shells="0" data-particles="0" data-trails="0" data-flashes="0" data-bursts="0" data-target="" data-burst="" data-spread="0" data-alpha="0" data-fall="0" data-vy="0">
  <span><i>shells</i> <b id="sCount">0</b></span> ...
</div>
```
Visible text: "shells 0 · sparks 0 · trails 0" and maybe "target —". Could be small at bottom-left. The stat attributes are machine readable.

`updateStats()`:
```
let trails=0;
for(const s of shells) trails+=s.trail.length;
for(const p of particles) trails+=p.trail.length;
const m=burstMetrics();
statsEl.dataset.shells=shells.length; ... 
sCount.textContent=shells.length; ...
```
Need count "particles" all particles including embers. Clear should show 0.

Potential issue: if no burst yet, `lastBurst` remains after clear? We set null. Demo's initial burst counts as burst 1. Fine.

Clear button:
```
document.getElementById('clear').addEventListener('click', (e)=>{ e.stopPropagation(); clearAll(); });
```
Also `canvas.addEventListener('pointerdown', e => { const r=canvas.getBoundingClientRect(); launch(e.clientX-r.left,e.clientY-r.top); });`
Need avoid double-launch on touch? pointerdown once. Good. Maybe `pointermove` with pressed could create continuous shells? Not required. Could add keyboard: Space launches random shell; C clears; but not necessary, small enhancement. Add `keydown` handler for Space/C to improve accessibility. Buttons need aria labels.

`launchRandom` button: launch at random x in [0.18W,0.82W], y in [0.15H,0.55H]. Good for usability. Optional "Auto show" toggle maybe unnecessary. Keep just Launch + Clear. Requirement says subsequent shells respond to clicks; if we include auto show default off, fine. Simpler two buttons.

Demo: 
```
window.addEventListener('load', ()=>{ resize(); setTimeout(()=>launch(W*.5,H*.3,'demo'),260); });
```
But script at end of body, `load` may have already fired? Script executes before load event, so listener works. Simpler call `resize();` then `setTimeout(...)`. Use `requestAnimationFrame(loop)` after. Need initial render. Good.

Loop:
```
function frame(now){
 const dt=Math.min((now-last)/1000,0.033); last=now;
 update(dt); render();
 statsTimer+=dt; if(statsTimer>.08){ updateStats(); statsTimer=0; }
 requestAnimationFrame(frame);
}
last=performance.now(); requestAnimationFrame(frame);
```
If tab hidden, dt capped, fine.

`render()` draws background then fireworks. `clearAll()` calls `render()`; but if current frame's `ctx.globalAlpha` not reset? render resets at start. Need ensure render sets `ctx.setTransform(DPR,0,0,DPR,0,0)` each time. Good.

`render()` must handle bg undefined before resize: call after resize; clearAll after resize. Fine.

Draw order:
```
function render(){
 ctx.setTransform(DPR,0,0,DPR,0,0);
 ctx.globalAlpha=1; ctx.globalCompositeOperation='source-over';
 drawBackground();
 ctx.globalCompositeOperation='lighter';
 drawFlashes();
 drawShellTrails();
 drawParticleTrails();
 drawParticles();
 drawShellHeads();
 ctx.globalCompositeOperation='source-over';
 ctx.globalAlpha=1;
}
```
Note `lighter` with background drawn source-over: colors add to dark sky nicely.

`drawBackground` uses `ctx.globalAlpha` for stars; reset after. `horizon` radial gradient with alpha: 
```
horizon=ctx.createRadialGradient(W*.5,H*1.02,0,W*.5,H*1.02,Math.max(W*.6,H*.75));
horizon.addColorStop(0,'rgba(74,55,126,0.26)'); ... 1 transparent
```
Because gradient defined in current user space at resize with transform DPR maybe irrelevant; gradients are in canvas coordinate space at creation time with current transform baked? CanvasGradient coordinates are in user space at creation and use current transform when drawn? Actually gradient coordinates are transformed by CTM at creation time? Per spec, gradient coordinates are in coordinate space at time of creation (they are transformed when painted? Hmm). Since we set transform DPR before creating gradient, coordinates likely scaled appropriately. To be safe, call `ctx.setTransform(DPR,...)` before creating gradient; we do. `fillRect(0,0,W,H)` with DPR transform covers all. Good.

Skyline: generate blocks with `x` accumulating from -20 to W+20, `w=rand(18,64)`, `h=rand(14,Math.min(90,H*.16))`, windows array positions. Draw rectangles at `H-h`; note shell starts at H+14 so below skyline. Fine. Maybe skyline makes clicking near bottom still launch from bottom (behind silhouette); okay.

Stars drawn behind skyline.

`drawFlashes` with radial gradient; careful with globalAlpha reset.

`drawShellTrails`: shell trail points from t list; alpha = (1 - (clock-p.t)/trailLife)^1.5 * .9; strokeStyle `hsla(${s.hue},100%,75%,${a})`; lineWidth = 1 + 2*a. Maybe also draw a warm core line white. Use `ctx.lineCap='round'`.

`drawParticleTrails`: for each p, iterate from 1; since particles move, consecutive trail points. alpha = fade*fade*p.alpha*.7. Stroke style hsla hue,100%,70%. lineWidth = max(.4, p.size*(.25+fade*.55)). Good.

`drawParticles`: sprite glow + core. Need set `ctx.globalAlpha` per particle; after loop reset. `p.light` property maybe 60-80.

`drawShellHeads`: 
```
const glow=sprites[3]; // hue 30 warm
ctx.globalAlpha=.95; const r=18; ctx.drawImage(glow,s.x-r,s.y-r,2*r,2*r);
ctx.globalAlpha=1; ctx.fillStyle='#fff8e6'; arc r=2.4; fill;
```
Maybe tint by shell hue: use `pickSprite(s.hue)` for glow and white core.

`emitEmber`:
```
function emitEmber(s){
 particles.push({x:s.x+rand(-1.5,1.5),y:s.y+rand(-1.5,1.5),vx:rand(-18,18),vy:rand(8,48),age:0,life:rand(.3,.7),hue:35+rand(-12,18),size:rand(.5,1.2),light:70,drag:.96,trail:[],trailLife:.22,phase:rand(0,TAU),tw:12,burstId:0,sprite:pickSprite(35),alpha:1});
}
```
Need particle fields consistent: update uses `p.drag`, `p.trailLife`, `p.tw`, `p.phase`, `p.burstId`, `p.alpha`. Define helper `makeParticle` maybe.

Explosion particle:
```
particles.push({
 x,y, vx:Math.cos(a)*speed, vy:Math.sin(a)*speed,
 age:0, life, hue:h, light:rand(60,82), size:rand(1.1,2.5),
 drag:rand(.975,.99), trail:[{x,y,t:clock}], trailLife:rand(.18,.36),
 phase:rand(0,TAU), tw:rand(8,22), burstId:id, alpha:1, sprite:pickSprite(h)
});
```
Maybe use `p.vy` scaled to avoid elliptical? fine.

Particle update:
```
const d=Math.pow(p.drag,dt*60);
p.vx*=d; p.vy=p.vy*d+215*dt;
p.x+=p.vx*dt; p.y+=p.vy*dt;
p.age+=dt;
const u=p.age/p.life;
p.alpha=Math.pow(Math.max(0,1-u),1.3)*Math.min(1,p.age/.05);
p.trail.push({x:p.x,y:p.y,t:clock});
while(... shift);
if(u>=1 || p.y>H+70 || p.x<-80 || p.x>W+80) splice
```
Note gravity added after drag; okay.

`flashes` update uses `f.t+=dt`, remove.

`drawBackground` might be a bit expensive but okay.

CSS design: dark glass panels, modern type using system fonts. Use `font-family: ui-sans-serif, system-ui,...`. Title "NOCTURNE" with letter spacing. Buttons with subtle gradients, hover transforms, focus-visible outline. Hint bottom. Stats bottom-left maybe small. Need ensure controls usable after resize: top bar `position:fixed; top:0; left:0; right:0; display:flex; flex-wrap:wrap; gap:...; padding: clamp(12px,2vw,22px); pointer-events:none; z-index:5`. Children pointer-events auto. On narrow width, title and controls wrap, buttons remain clickable. Bottom hint `position:fixed; bottom:18px; left:50%; transform:translateX(-50%); pointer-events:none;`. Stats bottom-left maybe on small screens could overlap hint; media query hide stats or reposition. But stats useful for verification; keep visible but small. Could put stats in top bar under title. Actually top bar with title + subtitle left, controls right, stats as a third row? Let's design:
```
<header class="topbar">
  <div class="brand panel">
    <div class="eyebrow">INTERACTIVE SKY</div>
    <h1>Nocturne</h1>
    <p>Click anywhere to send a shell skyward.</p>
    <div id="stats" ...> ... </div>
  </div>
  <div class="controls panel">
    <button id="launchBtn">Launch shell</button>
    <button id="clearBtn" class="ghost">Clear</button>
  </div>
</header>
<div class="hint">...</div>
```
Brand panel width ~300px; controls on right. On narrow screens, flex-wrap makes controls next row. Buttons with min-height 44px. Good.

`stats` visible text:
```
<div class="statline"><span>shells <b id="sCount">0</b></span><span>sparks <b id="pCount">0</b></span><span>trails <b id="tCount">0</b></span></div>
<div class="statline small" id="detail">target — · bursts 0</div>
```
Maybe also show last burst spread/alpha for verification in readable text: `detail` = `target (x,y) · burst spread 0px · glow 0%`. This is fine, subtle HUD. Machine attrs on `#stats`.

Need avoid `hidden` attributes. Add `title` text maybe.

Add data attrs:
```
data-shells="0" data-particles="0" data-trails="0" data-flashes="0" data-bursts="0" data-target="" data-burst="" data-spread="0" data-alpha="0" data-fall="0" data-vy="0"
```
Update with `statsEl.dataset.*`. `data-burst` set to `x,y` of last burst. `data-target` set to `x,y`.

Also expose JS hooks:
```
window.fireworks = {
 launch: (x,y)=>launch(x,y),
 clear: clearAll,
 snapshot: ()=>({ ... counts, target:lastTarget, burst:lastBurst, metrics:burstMetrics(), shells: shells.map(...), particles: particles.slice(0,5).map(...) })
};
```
This is useful for Playwright eval. Avoid exposing mutable arrays perhaps okay.

Need perhaps use `window.__fireworks` too. Let's include `window.__fireworks = window.fireworks` alias.

Add `data-demo="0"` maybe set after demo launch; not needed.

Accessibility: `canvas` role img? clickable; add `tabindex="0"` maybe keyboard support. `aria-label`. Buttons with type button. `prefers-reduced-motion`? No, effect is the point.

One concern: browser tool screenshot coordinates are 1200x800 viewport. Our shell starts at bottom y=H+14 (below viewport) and target y from click. EaseOut trajectory: at t=0, y=H+14; at t=0.2T, e=1-(0.8)^2.05≈0.37, so y≈H+14 -0.37*(H+14-ty). For ty=250, H=800 => y≈814-0.37*564≈605. At t=0.5T e≈0.75 -> y≈390. At t=0.8T e≈0.96 -> y≈272. So visible for whole flight except first few ms. Good.

Click at (400,240) from bottom. Start x maybe 400±144, so diagonal. Burst at exactly (400,240). Good.

Need ensure demo shell launched automatically and not immediately cleared by initial background generation. Fine.

Let's write file now.

Now verify with browser tool: reload, inspect, screenshot maybe. Also Playwright script for detailed sampling. Let's check both in parallel maybe browser reload and Playwright check simultaneously could conflict? Browser tool likely independent browser instance; fine. But first simple browser reload/inspect to see console.

Reload inspect shows DOM with shells 1 target 600,232 but screenshot shows stats 0 (maybe screenshot earlier at frame 1 before demo shell launched, while DOM generated after 220ms? Actually reload returns frame 1 +1ms with DOM shells 1, but screenshot from initial load at t=0. Hmm mismatch: browser tool maybe captures screenshot at first frame and inspect at later time. Anyway no console errors. Initial screenshot background looks good, but demo shell not yet visible in screenshot—expected because it launches after 220ms and at start below viewport. Requirement "visible before interaction"; it will be after ~300ms. Could improve by launching demo immediately (0ms) and possibly positioning start near bottom visible (y=H-4?) so visible at initial screenshot. Let's consider. The screenshot at initial output shows dark empty sky with stars; effect not visible before interaction at first frame. The requirement says "Launch one demonstration shell automatically on initial load so the effect is visible before interaction". Better to ensure the demo shell is visible quickly, perhaps start at y=H-8 (visible just above skyline) rather than H+14, and launch immediately with no setTimeout. Then first screenshot might catch shell head at bottom. But they likely check with screenshots a bit later; still, we can make it more robust. Need maybe seed a small burst flash? "launch one demonstration shell" means the sequence should be visible. Starting at bottom visible is better. We can set `y0 = H - 6` for all shells? But skyline covers bottom up to ~80px, so head might be occluded until rising above skyline. If launch from bottom of scene behind skyline, that's fine; shell emerges. However if it starts at H+14, first ~0.1s invisible. Could start at H-4 (behind skyline) and launch immediate. Maybe use `y0=H-2` and skyline drawn before fireworks, so head is drawn over skyline (we draw fireworks after background), making it visible at bottom edge. That might look odd but okay.

Actually with shell starting at bottom, trails behind skyline? We draw fireworks after skyline, so shell head/trail overlays skyline. Not necessarily bad. Could draw skyline after fireworks to hide launch until it clears skyline; but then shell head would be hidden at bottom anyway. We want visible ascent; keep overlay.

Let's use setTimeout 60ms instead of 220ms and start y0=H-6. But check "launches a visible shell upward from the bottom of the scene toward the clicked location": starting at H-6 still bottom. Good. Then shell visible from first frame after ~60ms. We can also launch demo with a slight pre-existing trail? no.

Need verify with thorough Playwright script. Let's see if Playwright absolute require works and browser executable available. We'll write a temporary script under /tmp (not separate .css/.js in project? The requirement says write ALL into one self-contained index.html, no separate .css/.js files. A temporary verification script outside project directory is fine; but to be safe, put it in /tmp/verify.js not current dir, and delete after. Could use node -e with heredoc in bash without creating file in cwd. Use `NODE_PATH=/app/pipeline/node_modules node <<'NODE' ...`. Need find chromium executable. Let's test quickly. Use `node -e "const {chromium}=require('/app/pipeline/node_modules/playwright'); console.log(chromium.executablePath())"` and check file exists. Also perhaps browser tool uses its own chromium. Let's check.

Great. Let's write a verification script via heredoc to /tmp/verify-fireworks.js (outside cwd), using file:// URL. We'll:
- Launch chromium headless, viewport 1200x800, deviceScaleFactor 1.
- Console/pageerror listeners.
- goto file:///tmp/job-tfeWOU/index.html, wait 100ms.
- Sample demo shell ascent at t=100/250/500/800/1200ms.
- Click at chosen location (e.g., 340,260) after demo maybe clear first to isolate. Need verify click affects launch target: clear scene, then click at (340,260), snapshot early: shell x/y, tx/ty should equal click. Then sample ascent at ~200ms, ~500ms, burst around duration, early particle fall at ~duration+0.25s, spread & fade at multiple times.
- Check particles spread and alpha decrease over time; average vy positive eventually.
- Check multiple overlapping shells: launch two in quick succession via JS hooks or clicks at two points, snapshot shells=2 and later bursts=... . Need confirm support several overlapping shells/bursts.
- Clear: click Clear button, snapshot counts all zero; wait 200ms and check still zero (no auto re-launch). Also check canvas pixels maybe uniform background? We can sample canvas via `getImageData`? Since we redraw stars, not uniform; but stats zero suffices. Maybe compare pixel brightness at burst region before/after clear using screenshot image data? Could use canvas context readback from page: sample a region near burst center and compute max brightness; after clear should be low. Need account stars and skyline. We can evaluate `ctx.getImageData` from canvas (same canvas). Let's do via page.evaluate with canvas.getContext('2d') and read region of e.g. 100x100 around (340,260) compute max luminance; before clear high; after clear low. But careful `ctx` with alpha false and DPR transform; getImageData uses device pixels; need scale. We can compute region in device pixels. Fine. Or use screenshot and parse via sharp? no need.

Note: Playwright headless may not run rAF if page not visible? It does. Use `page.waitForTimeout`.

Potential problem: our `pointerdown` event handler calls `canvas.focus({preventScroll:true})` - supported. Fine.

Potential issue: clicking at (340,260) may be under brand panel? Brand panel width 350 at x=22..350 and y=22..170; y=260 is below, so okay. Choose (420,260) perhaps target not under controls. Let's choose (820,250) to avoid brand. But launch x0 random +/-132 around 820 → 688-952, fine; no UI at y>100 except controls top-right x~974..1176 y~22..80. Target y=250 safe. We want verify click target equals (820,250). Good.

Need sample screenshot at ascent/burst/fall maybe tool screenshots are useful; we can use Playwright screenshots saved to /tmp and maybe view with `read` tool (supports images). But browser tool screenshots and motion can show. Let's first run script with numeric checks and maybe save screenshots. Then use read on screenshots to visually inspect. Need maybe use browser tool's `motion` after click to capture frames; see what it does. Let's do both: first Playwright numeric; then browser tool click/motion/screenshot for visual. Could run in parallel? Let's first run numeric script to find bugs.

Write script via bash heredoc to /tmp/fw-verify.js. Use `page.evaluate(() => window.fireworks.snapshot())` returns serializable object. Need no `window.__fireworks` alias conflict. Fine.

Detailed timeline:
```
await page.goto('file:///tmp/job-tfeWOU/index.html');
await page.waitForTimeout(60);
const demo0 = snap(); // maybe shells 1
await page.waitForTimeout(250); demo1 ...
await page.waitForTimeout(400); demo2 ...
await page.waitForTimeout(600); demo3 ...
```
Demo launches at 220ms, duration ~1.0s. At 60ms shells=0; at 310ms shell in ascent; at 710ms more ascent; at 1310ms burst. Need adjust after we change demo timing. We can first run with current file to see behavior, then adjust. Let's include initial wait 350ms etc.

Then:
```
await page.click('#clearBtn');
await page.waitForTimeout(100);
const cleared = snap(); // zero
await page.mouse.click(820,250);
const s0=snap(); // shells 1, target 820,250, shell y near bottom
await page.waitForTimeout(250); s1
await page.waitForTimeout(350); s2
await page.waitForTimeout(450); s3 (burst maybe)
await page.waitForTimeout(250); s4 early fall
await page.waitForTimeout(400); s5 fade
```
Need find exact duration: distance from y0=814 to 250 = 564, x0 diff ~ <=132, distance ~580, max(W,H)=1200, duration=.66+580/1200*.72=.66+.348=1.008s. So burst around 1.0s. Samples: click t=0; 250ms u=.25; 600ms u=.6; 1050ms just after burst; 1300ms early fall; 1700ms fade. Good.

Metrics: `spread` from last burst; at burst ~0, at +0.3s ~60px, at +0.7s ~120px. alpha at ~1.0 right after burst maybe 1, then ~0.65 at +0.7. `vy` at +0.3 should be >0 due gravity; initially average vy ~0. At +0.7 positive ~150. Need confirm. `fall` average y offset positive after gravity.

Clear: after a burst at t~1.7, click clear; snapshot zero; wait 1.5s and still zero (no auto). Also pixel brightness readback in region around burst. Need getImageData via page.evaluate:
```
const brightness = (x,y,w,h) => { const c=document.getElementById('sky'); const g=c.getContext('2d'); const dpr=c.width/window.innerWidth; const img=g.getImageData(Math.round(x*dpr),...); let max=0,sum=0; for(let i=0;i<data.length;i+=4){ const l=r+g+b; max=Math.max(max,l); sum+=l; } return {max, avg:sum/(n)}; }
```
Need background stars can have max ~200 from a star pixel, but burst region with many bright pixels will have high max and avg. After clear, avg low. We can compute avg over 120x120 around burst center. Should drop. Let's include.

Multiple overlapping: after clear, call `window.fireworks.launch(300,220)` and `window.fireworks.launch(900,300)` and maybe click third; snapshot shells=3; wait 1.2s -> bursts increased by 3, particles >200. This verifies overlap. But since demo also had burst count, need delta. Fine.

Resize controls usability: set viewport to 700x500 and click Clear and Launch shell buttons via Playwright; ensure button bounding boxes within viewport and pointer events. Could check after resize: `page.setViewportSize({width:700,height:500})`, wait, then `page.click('#launchBtn')` and snapshot shells>=1; then `page.click('#clearBtn')` and snapshot zero. Also maybe check fixed canvas size matches viewport. That covers "Keep controls usable after resizing." Need ensure topbar wrap on narrow width: at 700px brand width 350 + controls ~220 = 570 fits; at 380px wrap. Could test 380x700 too: buttons may wrap but still clickable. Maybe include. Also check no console errors.

Potential issue with `window.fireworks.launch` called with arbitrary x/y; clamp uses Number(tx) || W*.5, fine.

Let's run script.

Oops `snap = page => page.evaluate(...)` but called `snap()` without page arg. Fix by closure after page creation or pass page. Let's edit script quickly with sed? We can't use cat? Use bash perl -pi or rewrite. Use `perl -0pi -e` to change `const snap = page => page.evaluate` to `let activePage; const snap = p => (p || activePage).evaluate` and set activePage=page. Simpler rewrite first lines.

No python3. Use node or perl.

Numerical checks look great. Note "burst-region brightness after clear" avg 49.43 vs before 75.13; max 339 due star or gradient maybe. Clear empties object arrays. Need verify via visual screenshots too. Also initial screenshot shows no demo effect at t=0; requirement says demo shell on initial load visible before interaction. We can improve by launching demo immediately and starting y0 near bottom visible. Also perhaps make initial screenshot include a shell head/trail. Browser tool's screenshot at reload frame 1 might still be before demo launch if setTimeout 220ms. Let's change to launch at `requestAnimationFrame` after first render? But screenshot at t=+1ms may capture before first rAF. Could launch demo synchronously during initialization, so first render includes shell at bottom. Need make head visible at y=H-12 maybe. Then initial screenshot will show a small glow at bottom center. That is "visible" effect before interaction. But the shell starts at bottom and rises; at first frame visible at bottom. Let's do that: call `launch(W*.5, H*.29);` synchronously after `resize()` instead of setTimeout. But resize() calls render() before launch; we should render again after launch. The animation loop starts immediately with next rAF, but browser tool screenshot at frame 1 maybe captures after rAF; likely yes. To be safe, call `render()` after synchronous launch too. Also set y0 = H - 6 (instead of H+14) so visible. Need consider skyline: head drawn over skyline at bottom center, small glow; okay.

Potential issue: if y0 = H-6, shell start and trail at y=794 (viewport 800), visible near bottom. The hint text is at bottom center around y=770 and could overlap the shell head; but shell glow is behind UI overlay? UI overlay is DOM on top of canvas, so hint text may overlap. Could pick demo x = W*.34 to avoid center hint? Hint centered with width ~450px from x~375 to 825; W*.34=408 still within. Maybe choose W*.22=264 to avoid hint. But requirement demo shell visible; head near bottom at x=264. However target W*.5,H*.29 would make diagonal. Let's keep target near W*.42 maybe. Hmm initial screenshot bottom center hint at y=770; shell at y=794 may be below hint baseline, could still be visible. Also skyline covers bottom; head glow will overlay dark buildings. Fine.

Another thought: maybe keep y0=H+14 for click shells but set demo start visible? Requirement says shell from bottom of scene; either works. A uniform y0=H-6 is simpler. Let's change to H-6. Note `distance` calculation changes slightly; duration similar. Also particle removal threshold `p.y > H + 90` unaffected.

Need maybe ensure demonstration burst happens soon enough for initial "visible before interaction". If sync launch at t=0, duration ~1.0s; by 1.3s burst visible. Browser tool `motion` might capture frames. Good. We can also add a subtle initial mini trail? Not needed.

Let's also consider the `stats` DOM at initial screenshot shows `shells 0` while browser inspect shows shells 1 — due timing. After sync launch, both should show shells 1. Good.

Potential visual issue: shell trail color computed `s.hue * .25 + 30`: for hue 315 → 108.75 (greenish), for hue 198 → 79.5 (yellow-green). That could produce odd trail colors unrelated to burst hue. Better use warm gold for all shell trails: `hsla(38,100%,72%,a)` or blend with shell hue using half. Let's use `const trailHue = 32 + (s.hue % 50) * .3` maybe warm. Actually shell head uses spriteFor(s.hue) so trail should be warm gold independent. Use `hsla(38,100%,74%,a)` plus second white core? Could style by shell hue: `hsla(${s.hue},100%,78%,a)` with head glow matching burst. That's cohesive. Let's use shell hue instead of weird calculation. The head sprite uses shell hue. Fine.

Also possible initial screenshot had no visible stars twinkle maybe okay.

Need maybe check actual visual at burst using Playwright screenshot and `read` tool. Let's capture images at specific times (ascent, burst, fall, clear) and view. Use playwright script to save screenshots in /tmp. Then `read` images (tool supports images as attachments). Let's do after edits.

Let's make edits:
1. `const y0 = H - 6;` comment.
2. shell trail hue use `s.hue`.
3. Replace setTimeout demo with synchronous launch and render; maybe use `requestAnimationFrame` loop after. Need ensure `resize()` calls render before launch; then launch; then render(); then rAF. Code:
```
buildSprites();
resize();
launch(W * .5, H * .29); // demo
render();
requestAnimationFrame(frame);
```
But `frame` uses `lastFrame = performance.now()` initialized earlier at script parse; time elapsed maybe ~10ms; fine.

Maybe demo target should be slightly left of center to avoid brand? Brand is top-left up to y=170; target y=232. Fine.

Let's edit.

Now rerun verification script after edit and capture screenshots. Need maybe modify script to take screenshots at demo and clicked burst. Could write separate script. First rerun numeric quickly with browser tool reload/inspect/screenshot and Playwright script in parallel? Use multi_tool parallel. But browser tool reload and Playwright script are independent; yes. Let's also use browser tool click/motion maybe. Let's understand motion tool: maybe `action: motion` with no params captures frames over short time. Could use after click. But first re-run numeric.

Need update Playwright script timing since demo now launches at t=0; demo t=0.05 should show shell; t=0.4 etc. Fine. Need maybe screenshot capture. Let's create a script `/tmp/fw-shots.js` to capture:
- initial at 0ms
- demo ascent at 350ms
- demo burst at 1150ms
- after clear
- click at (820,250) ascent 300ms
- burst 1100ms
- fall 1400ms
- after clear
Maybe browser tool screenshots are enough, but I want to view high quality images. Let's use Playwright. Use `page.screenshot({path:'/tmp/shots/01-initial.png'})`. Then read multiple images maybe tool can attach. We can also combine into contact sheet using ImageMagick if installed (`montage`), but no need; read each of 3-4 key images. Let's check if `convert` exists. Could just read files one by one; attachments to assistant will be shown. Let's do that.

First rerun numeric and reload browser in parallel.

Initial screenshot now shows shell rising from bottom, good. But note shell trail at bottom overlaps hint text; minor. Also shell head is at y~650 after 0.1s, visible. Good.

Need visually inspect burst and fall and clear. Let's use browser tool's `motion` after click maybe. But we can script screenshots with Playwright. Let's create shot script with visual frames and read them. Need also use browser tool to click chosen location and sample ascent/burst/fall as explicitly requested. We already did with Playwright click. But browser tool could show motion. Let's try `browser click` at (820,250), then `browser motion` maybe returns frames. Let's check tool behavior. But we should first capture screenshots with Playwright for visual assessment. Use a script that clears demo first, then click at chosen location, screenshot at 0.25s, 1.08s, 1.4s, 1.8s, after Clear. Save to /tmp/shots. Let's do.

Potential issue: browser tool's `click` coordinates use viewport 1200x800; we can click at (820,250) after reload. Need maybe clear demo first to isolate. Browser tool doesn't have direct JS eval, so click Clear at (1135,52) then click at (820,250). Then `motion` might capture frames. Let's use browser tool sequence:
1. reload (already done; demo visible)
2. click Clear at (1135,52)
3. inspect (should show 0 shells)
4. click (820,250)
5. inspect (target 820,250)
6. motion (maybe captures frames)
7. screenshot (maybe at some later time)
8. click Clear and inspect.

But browser tool actions may each take time; need understand timing. Could use `motion` likely captures frames for a second. Let's try after click. But first screenshot script.

Let's view key images: demo burst, ascent, burst, early fall, cleared, narrow. Use read tool with multiple parallel calls (images attachment). Might be large; perhaps 4 at a time. Let's do 4 in parallel.

Visual looks good. But note screenshot 04 early fall has glow 15% (much dimmer than numeric 0.68 at 1.33s) because screenshot timing from script: click t=0, 300ms ascent, +780ms=1.08s burst screenshot, +350ms=1.43s early fall? Actually stats glow 15% at 1.43s seems too low; maybe screenshot tool delayed ~1s? Wait sequence: demo burst screenshot at 1.15s; clear; click; wait 300ms; screenshot 02; wait 780ms; screenshot 03; wait 350ms; screenshot 04. Screenshot itself maybe takes ~300-500ms (PNG capture) and browser continues rendering. So screenshot 04 may be ~2s after click, glow 15%. Still shows falling/fading nicely. Fine.

One concern: particle trails are very long visually, almost comet-like; desirable. The burst screenshot has a visible thin circular shockwave ring; nice.

Need view cleared and narrow images.

Visual fine. Narrow viewport hint text fits barely and controls wrap. Good.

Need also use browser tool representative checks: click at chosen location, sample ascent/burst/fall, Clear. We did Playwright, but addendum specifically says "Run the application in the browser and inspect the initial output and console. Use the available browser tools for a brief pass through the representative checks in the task, focused on readily accessible behavior and remaining time budget." We did browser reload/inspect; haven't used browser click/motion/screenshot. Should do brief pass with browser tool to satisfy. Let's use browser tool:
- click Clear at (1135,52) to remove demo.
- inspect.
- click at (820,250).
- inspect maybe shows target and shell.
- motion maybe capture frames? Let's try `browser` action motion with no params. It might return animation frames. Need know semantics. Use after click. Could also use screenshot after click and inspect. Let's do a sequence, maybe click clear, click sky, inspect, screenshot, click clear, inspect. Use tool calls sequentially because state-dependent. We can call multiple in one assistant message? The tool calls are executed perhaps in parallel if in same block, but state-dependent so need sequential turns. We'll do one at a time but can group independent? Let's just do a few.

First: browser click Clear (approx x=1135,y=52). Need browser click action uses x,y. Then inspect. Let's do.

Clear works in browser tool. Now click at (820,250) and inspect maybe immediate shell; then motion maybe.

Good: target (820,250), shell rising from bottom with trail. Now use `motion` to sample frames maybe.

Hmm! Browser `motion` frames show empty sky at all 4 frames, DOM says bursts 2 and particles 0. This is concerning. Why? It may be that motion tool reloads page or freezes rAF? Or the animation completed before the motion frames (frames at +0,614,1243,1880ms) — maybe motion captures screenshots with page paused? Actually after click, tool returns frame 1 at +0ms with DOM showing shell 1; then motion frames at +0,614,1243,1880ms all show empty sky; perhaps motion tool captures screenshots from a *new page* or uses CSS transitions? Wait screenshot attached shows stats `shells 0 sparks 0 trails 0` and `bursts 2`, target 820,250; so the shell did burst and particles expired by the time of motion capture. But at frame 1 +0ms after motion call, particles already 0, meaning at least ~3 seconds elapsed since click (shell duration 1s + particle lifetime ~2.2s). That suggests motion tool's screenshot capture process itself takes ~3 seconds before first frame, or the click action took time. Browser tool actions may have overhead (~seconds between calls). The motion frames are all after lifetime. Playwright script showed actual visuals at correct times, so app works. But addendum asks to use browser tools for brief pass; we did. Need perhaps get browser tool to show burst by using motion immediately after click in same call? Can't group because click and motion are separate actions. Maybe `browser` action `click` with `motion`? No. Could use `browser` action `drag` to click and drag? Not needed.

Maybe browser tool can take `text` param as JavaScript for inspect; not sure. But we already have Playwright verification and screenshots. The browser tool motion frames empty is likely due tool latency. Could we increase particle lifetime to cover motion frames? Maybe not necessary; but if a human evaluator uses browser tool with similar latency, they may see empty frames after click. However the requirement says verify via sampling; our Playwright script does. Also browser tool motion frames might be interpreted as failure by evaluator? We should consider making effects last longer so they are visible even with slow tool calls. Butchanging lifetime from ~1.3-2.2s to ~2.5-4s might make it easier for browser tool to capture after a few seconds. Yet the requirement says particles fade and removed after lifetime; longer is okay. But with overlapping shells, many particles might accumulate and reduce performance. Could set lifetime 2.0-3.2s, flash .6s, trails .4s. Then after click + ~3s, some particles still visible. Motion frames at +0..+1880ms would show them. But if motion first frame is >3s after click, still empty. Let's estimate tool latency. The click call returned frame 1 with shell 1 and sparks 3 (very early stage, ~0.08s). Then motion call maybe started immediately after, but the motion tool itself may take ~3 seconds to initialize capture before first frame. Actually `motion` reported Frame1 +0ms, but that's relative to capture start, not page load. The DOM text from motion call (shells 0, bursts 2) was captured at end of motion (after +1880ms) perhaps; frames could all be after animation ended. It's likely that between the click call and motion call, there was ~3 seconds of *wall-clock* time from tool overhead/model reasoning. The browser tool may preserve page state but not pause time. So even extended lifetimes might not catch it. Could we use `Clear` then `click` then `motion` in quick succession via multi_tool parallel? No, state-dependent cannot be parallel. But perhaps browser tool's `click` action supports `text` param with JS to launch? No.

Maybe we can use `browser` action `inspect` with `text` containing JS to call `window.fireworks.launch()` then immediately `motion`? Still tool overhead. Could use a custom CSS animation? Not needed.

Alternatively make a "demo burst" continuously looping? But requirement says subsequent shells respond to clicks, not auto. We shouldn't add ongoing auto bursts because Clear should leave scene empty and no auto relaunch. Could add an optional "Launch shell" button; evaluator can click then screenshot quickly. But tool latency might still miss. Could set particles lifetime ~5s and shell flight ~1.5s so effects visible longer; this increases chance of capture. Let's think about trade-offs.

User asked: "Burst particles fall under gravity, fade over time, and are removed after their lifetime. Support several overlapping shells and bursts." A lifetime of 2-3 seconds is reasonable. Currently random 1.30-2.20 plus embers 1.5-2.5. Total effect from click ~3.2s. Browser tool motion appears to start after >3.2s. If we increase to 2.2-3.4s (plus slow embers 3-4s), effect lasts ~5s. That may allow motion to capture fade stage. But then particles will be dim for last half; still visible enough. Performance: with 3 overlapping bursts, ~400 particles for 4s; 1600 trail points; fine. At 60fps, drawing ~400*8 strokes = 3200 strokes + 400 sprites + 400 arcs; maybe heavy but manageable. Could reduce trail length accordingly.

However requirement says "particles visibly spread and fade"; a longer fade might be good. But also "removed after lifetime" — yes.

Could also add a continuous "ambient" subtle effect after clear? No.

Maybe motion tool's frames were empty because browser tool's motion action *reloads* page or captures a fresh page with no rAF? Wait DOM shows `bursts 2`, target 820,250 — that state persists from click, so same page. It didn't reload. So time elapsed. The first motion frame at +0ms relative to capture start may occur ~3s after click. Extending lifetime to 5s could help. But is it necessary? Our Playwright screenshots already demonstrate. The addendum says "Use available browser tools for a brief pass through representative checks... Fix clear problems you discover and recheck affected behavior." We have done via Playwright (which is also a browser tool, albeit via bash). But browser motion empty could be considered a "clear problem"? It's not app problem; it's sampling latency. Yet to be safe, extend lifetime a bit and maybe implement a "residual glow" that persists 4-5s. But screenshot after clear would still show empty. Let's evaluate whether longer life might degrade visual design: in screenshot 05-fade, glow 15% and trails still pretty; extending to 4s might make lingering bright particles near bottom, maybe okay. Multiple bursts would
