I built the maze and solver in `/tmp/job-EcSJrm/index.html`. I confirmed the maze draws and that the A* search animates, but I never saw a solve finish. My last screenshot, mid-search, showed A* had explored 160 cells. The final yellow path and the "path length" readout were never on screen. I also didn't test BFS or the other maze sizes. - **Maze:** a 25×25 grid by default (15 and 40 are also selectable), carved with the recursive backtracker and drawn on a canvas. The start is the green square at top left and the finish is the red square at bottom right. - **Solver:** you pick A* or BFS from the dropdown and press Solve. Explored cells show in blue, and the current search frontier shows in teal. - **Finish:** a yellow path is meant to draw from start to finish once the search reaches the end. The readout is meant to show the cells explored and the path length. - **Controls:** "New maze" regenerates the maze, and the speed slider sets how many cells are explored per frame. Starting a new maze or a new solve cancels any search still running. The browser console showed only a sandbox warning about the preview iframe, with no script errors.
