Research direction

Reproduce the report in the p5.js Web Editor using preload() with loadStrings(), followed by noCanvas() in setup(), and capture the exact error and browser details. Trace the editor behavior around this sketch execution; done means the reported example runs without an error while still producing no canvas.
