Lovely little project. I saw a few little discrepancies too - I guess that's fine, but when I read "functional recreation" on the project site, my mind registered "fully functional recreation".
It's been a while since I used a classic Mac, having defected to Windows in the 90s and not returning until the 2010s, but I'm pretty sure (?) I could:
* drag the bottom right corner to resize the window
* drag the scrollbar thumb to scroll
* drag a rectangle inside a finder window to select multiple items (see below)
* click the top right corner to "maximise" (kind of) the window
Regarding dragging rectangles, I remember my awe as a kid when I first saw a GUI system (a Lisa being demoed at an Apple expo in the early 80s) and I rushed home to write a "drag a rectangle" program on the Apple 2 (a ][ or a //e - my Dad was a dealer for a while) with game paddles :) Hence why I think you could do that in the old Mac finder.
