Added vibe coded markdown to html script since it is useful for me. Updated Dowa so that it can be compiled without dirnet for windows.

# Bank Account

You are given a simplified multi-threaded “bank account” implementation used by one of our infrastructure teams. The current code processes deposits concurrently but produces incorrect results.

```
class BankAccount:
    def __init__(self, balance):
        self.balance = balance

    def deposit(self, amount):
        new_balance = self.balance + amount  # read
        time.sleep(0.1)                      # simulate delay
        self.balance = new_balance           # write

account = BankAccount(0)

with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=2) as executor:
    futures = [
        executor.submit(account.deposit, 500),
        executor.submit(account.deposit, 700),
    ]
```

Task

Identify the concurrency bugs in the implementation.

Explain why these bugs occur.

Fix the implementation without modifying the existing BankAccount class directly.

You may use subclassing (Python) or embedding (Go-style composition), depending on the language you choose.

Ensure your solution is thread-safe and produces the correct final balance (1200).
