Lavaloid

Today's GAPP is a Hempuli genre -- Bunnyhop! It features two things I didn't know about Penpa before (Thanks Mender):
- You can rotate Tetrakis Square grids by 45 degrees.
- If you rotate a grid after removing some cells, the new width and height will be the smallest bounding box of the remaining cells.

Rules: Draw "elbows" in each unshaded cell, i.e. bent lines that connect two adjacent corners of the cell. Elbows must form a single non-branching loop.

Interface note: If the answer check doesn't work but you believe your solution is correct, try checking for accidental edges along shaded cells, as they might be easy to miss.

Finish the puzzle in 3:00 or less for a Speedy Sloth 🦥!

The rules have been edited as many have found them confusing. (Thanks @Vornicus)
