Making a single-file HTML using canvas animation: synthwave sunset — sun with gradient, scanlines (Venetian blind effect), scrolling perspective grid, stars, horizon reflection. Alright, let's write it.

Confirmed existence. Simple sanity check — there might be an unused variable warning, but no problem. Done.
Created `/tmp/ws/index.html` — a fully self-contained synthwave sunset with zero external resources. Everything renders on a single `<canvas>`: **Features:** - 🌅 **Glowing gradient sun** — yellow core fading into magenta, with a soft radial halo, classic retro **scanline bands** that widen toward the bottom and slowly crawl downward - 🌇 **Setting animation** — the sun drifts down toward the horizon on a smooth 40-second loop - 🔷 **Infinite neon grid** — perspective-correct horizon lines that scroll toward the viewer (`y = horizon + k/z` projection), glowing cyan verticals radiating from the vanishing point, magenta horizontals with distance-based brightness/blur - ✨ **Starfield** — twinkling stars that fade out near the bright horizon glow - 💫 **Reflected horizon** — a mirrored sun glow column on the grid with shimmering, wobbling reflection slats, plus a hot pink horizon glow line - 📺 **CRT overlay** — repeating scanline pattern and a radial vignette for that retro monitor feel - Neon flickering "SYNTHWAVE SUNSET" title in CSS It handles window resizing and devicePixelRatio scaling, and runs entirely offline.

EVALUATION
Static synthwave sunset scene with retro grid and glowing text; visuals don't respond to click, drag, wheel, or keys.
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.
