The file was written successfully. Let me verify it works by checking the file exists and maybe doing a quick validation.
I created the full Windows 95-style web desktop in `/workspace/index.html`. **What’s inside:** - **Desktop** — teal background with draggable window management - **Desktop icons** — My Computer, Recycle Bin, Notepad, Operations (double-click to open) - **Draggable windows** — grab the blue title bar to move any open window - **Closable/minimizable/maximizable windows** — _ □ ✕ buttons work on every window - **Start menu** — click *Start* to open the cascading menu with apps and *Shut Down...* - **Taskbar** — shows active window tabs, active state highlight, and the system tray - **Working clock** — tray shows `1:23 PM`; double-clicking the tray or opening *Clock* shows a full date + seconds window; updates live - **Notepad** — functional text area with dummy *File* and *Edit* drop-down menus - **Operations** — progress bar simulation with randomized fill - **Properties modal** — open *(C:)* from My Computer Everything is self-contained in one `index.html`: no external assets, no CDN, no network needed.

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.
