THE EXACT RULES
Pressing a square flips that square and its four orthogonal neighbours (fewer at an edge). Pressing is never blocked. WIN = every light off. FAIL = the move budget runs out with lights still on. The budget is 14 / 18 / 28 moves for 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5, which the prover measures against the true minimum-solution length of every board the generator emits (worst case seen: 8, 11 and 22). Boards are built by pressing random cells on a solved board, so a solution always exists; the generator additionally rejects any board whose GF(2) solve says it cannot be cleared.
