Description

Description

Right now, the widget doesn't cover Windmills.

Add Windmill <-> Tidal link. Ideally, if you pressed C, it should go Windmill -> Tidal -> Windmill, and if you pressed X, Solar -> Tidal -> Solar.

Why?

I see Tidals as counterparts to both Windmills and Solars.

Research direction
Locate the Context Build Widget source file in the repository. Study the existing implementation for the Solar< >Tidal link, particularly how the C and X keys toggle between building types. Extend that logic to include Windmill as a counterpart to Tidal, ensuring the cycling order described in the issue is implemented. Check any existing comments or related widget files for context.
