The file is already in place at `/tmp/ws/index.html`. Here's what it does: - **Full-screen black canvas** that resizes with the window - **Columns of falling glyphs** — each column has a drop position, and every frame the leading character is drawn in bright white-green (`#afffaf`) - **Trailing fade** — 24 characters behind the leader are drawn with decreasing alpha and green intensity, creating the signature fading trail - **Semi-transparent black overlay** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.05)`) each frame so old frames slowly fade out, producing the smooth trail effect - **Randomized charset** — Katakana (all 50 basic + `ン`) plus Latin and digits, matching the movie's aesthetic - **Variable speed** — each column falls at a slightly different rate, and drops reset to the top randomly after exiting the screen

EVALUATION
Classic Matrix digital rain with fading green katakana columns and bright leading chars, animates continuously and looks polished.
Vision grade · anthropic/claude-sonnet-5
MEASUREMENTS
Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
