Prompt for this run

Build an animated L-system tree using the provided p5.js library. 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. Use the provided `p5.min.js` (global `p5`) through a plain local script tag; the runner will inline it into the final artifact. Required behavior: - Define an axiom, explicit production rules, and an angle for a branching L-system. Expand the grammar and interpret it to draw a connected trunk and branches; an unrelated random-line drawing is not sufficient. - Show progressive growth from the trunk toward branch tips. Once grown, the tree sways gently in the wind while child branches remain attached to their parents. - Provide a generation control from 1 to 5 and Regrow. Changing generation or pressing Regrow restarts growth using the same chosen grammar. - Bound grammar expansion and keep the whole tree visible at every supported generation. - Use procedural graphics. Choose branch styling, leaves, colors, and the particular branching grammar freely. Verify: Sample branch growth and inspect visible parent-child connections. Change the generation setting and check that growth restarts with a different branching structure. If growth has completed during inspection, sample the wind motion as well.

I'll start by checking the current directory to confirm p5.min.js is present.

All checks done. Final file: `/tmp/job-OA6pBO/index.html` (single self-contained page, inline CSS/JS, local `p5.min.js` script tag, zero external resources/URLs). **What I implemented** - L-system: axiom `X`; rules `X → F[+X][-X]FX` (branching bud), `F → FF` (trunk growth); angle 25°. Grammar is expanded to the selected generation, then interpreted with a turtle (push/pop stack) into connected line segments; each `X` marks a leaf bud. - Progressive growth: segments are ordered depth-major (trunk first, then branch layers outward) and revealed over ~4.6s with eased progress; the leading segment grows in length so tips extend smoothly. Once progress reaches 1, growth stops and the tree keeps swaying. - Wind: a continuous displacement field applied per vertex (function of position + time only), so every parent/child joint is displaced identically — branches stay attached while the canopy sways (amplitude grows with height). - Controls: generation buttons 1–5, **Regrow** button (plus keyboard 1–5 / R). Any change rebuilds the grammar at the same generation and restarts growth from 0. - Fit: auto-computed bounding box → scale/translate so every generation (1–5) fits fully in the canvas with margin reserved for sway. Expansion is bounded (gen 5 = 1,391 symbols, 422 segments, 243 leaves). **Verified in-browser (console logs)** - Branch growth: gen 1→5 produce growing symbol/segment/leaf counts (2/3 → 422/243) — the growth progress animation restarts each time (`progress=0.000, growing=true`). - Parent-child connections: connectivity check reports every segment start equals the root or another segment's end — 38/38, 422/422, 2/2 attached joints, all OK. - Generation change: pressed gen 5 (key) and gen 1 (button) — each restarted growth with a different branching structure. - Regrow: clicked the button — growth restarted at the same generation. - Wind: sampled tip displacement after growth — moving ~1–9 px per 600 ms (continuous sway, OK). **Unverified / limitation** - Screenshots aren't supported by this model, so I could not visually eyeball the rendered frames; rendering correctness is inferred from the running p5 draw loop (no console errors) and the geometry/behavior checks above. - Button-coordinate clicks for gens 2 and 4 weren't individually exercised (gen 1 click and gen 5 key proved the same `setGeneration` path).
