Description
Describe the bug
After upload of program to Metro M0 Express, when program does not include any mention of control of on-board neopixel (green- the one that shines when re-set button is pressed prior to flashing code) then glows very brilliant green while code is running for the duration of program.
To Reproduce
https://makecode.com/_fbCPM0Hz79E5
Do not expect to see brilliant green LED pixel during entire running of the code.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: [e.g. iOS]
- Browser [e.g. chrome, safari]
- Version [e.g. 22]
Microsoft Surface; Windows 10 , Chrome Browser
Also note that simulator does not alter the string as programmed when resistance is changed ; expected the string to update message as resistance increases as in code.

Research direction
Start by running the linked MakeCode program on an Adafruit Metro M0 Express and compare the onboard neopixel with the simulator. Reproduce both the continuously bright green pixel and the simulator's unchanged string when resistance changes, then define separate expected results for each behavior before locating the relevant pxt-maker entry points.
