Verdict

SPLIT the shared SVG x1/y1/x2/y2 attribute rung. Six Chromium-gated cells admit the measured subset on <line> and <linearGradient>, but all four rows remain open: valid long-decimal values and CSS comments still need source provenance/tokenization that the raw attribute routes cannot recover, and neither gap has an independent checklist row.

The required instance audit also found a pre-existing silent wrong pixel in partial element opacity on anti-aliased lines. That class now refuses by stable name, and both opacity checklist spellings reopen.

What landed

  • Admit line defaults, explicit zero, signed SVG numbers, negative coordinates, independent x/y percentages in root and viewBox units, transforms, stroke geometry, and same-document <use>.
  • Admit linear-gradient defaults, signed fractions and out-of-box percentages, degenerate vectors, object-box/user-space units, case-insensitive px, transformed gradient stroke, and independent coordinate inheritance through template chains.
  • Classify two Chromium/Rust binary32 source-loss classes without substituting a shadow value into a resolved fact; guard precision, percentage overflow, used range, comments, units, CSS math, custom properties, and CSS-wide values by exact coordinate.
  • Reject only a live user-space gradient on zero-area geometry before the current unit-box paint contract can receive a non-finite inverse transform.
  • Preserve Chromium's zero-area precedence with two companion cells: every object-box ramp is nothing before one-stop/degenerate classification; user-space one-stop and concentric degenerate ramps keep their source-neutral results.
  • Reject partial element opacity on a stroked <line> through attribute, inline/stylesheet CSS, inherited-container, and <use> routes before it can alias stroke opacity.
  • Add eight Chromium-baked cells total, nine coordinate/resource refusal rows, and one opacity refusal row; update the checklist, engine-of-record record, CLI statement of record, fixture catalog, and generated status.

Measured boundary

Chromium 149.0.7827.55 and both actual n0 admissions agree at zero differing pixels on all eight committed cells. Every source/control candidate was also rendered through both n0 admissions; a clean process exit was not treated as pixel proof.

Two valid source-number classes reproduce on every coordinate and both consumers:

  • A decimal just above the exact midpoint following 8388608.5 selects Chromium's lower adjacent binary32 value while the former direct parse selected the higher. Higher controls differ by 187–202 line pixels at maximum channel delta 170–185, and 1,840–2,008 gradient pixels at delta 6–7.
  • 57384.267578125007 also selects Chromium's lower neighbour. Higher controls differ by 111–132 line pixels at delta 100–103 and 1,725–2,273 gradient pixels at delta 2–9. Its percentage spelling differs by 189–194 line pixels at delta 211 and 3,584 gradient pixels at delta 20–21.

Every source was twice deterministic and exact to its lower control. On a ten-unit axis, .5% separately value-measures Chromium's multiply-before-divide result; adjacent arithmetic controls are pixel-identical at this probe size, so no pixel claim is made for that sub-probe. These facts are recorded as measured, not celled.

Exponent overflow does not silently default. Chromium maps 1e999/-1e999 through its finite SVG-number extremes and fixed used-value clamps; under a discriminating transform each is exact to its clamp control and differs from default by 3,136 pixels at delta 202 and 1,568 pixels at delta 89. Current n0 already refused both by the exact used-range name; executable contracts now pin that behavior.

The consumer split is explicit: case-insensitive px is admitted on gradients but remains a line-unit refusal. Wider units, CSS math, var(), CSS-wide values, comments, finite percentage overflow, and fixed used-range values all leave through focused stable names in strict and best-effort paths.

The zero-area matrix found a unit-dependent precedence. A live user-space ramp differs from nothing by 384 pixels at delta 209 and remains a named contract refusal. User-space linear pad/repeat, a concentric non-positive radial, and a one-stop ramp are exact to source-neutral controls. Object-box live, degenerate, and one-stop ramps are exact nothing; each tempting solid differs by 384 pixels at delta 211–226. A zero-radius off-center focal radial is measured nothing, while positive focal radius remains a live focal result under the existing focal-radial refusal.

The opacity witness shows why the reopen is necessary. Chromium element opacity differs from stroke opacity by 62 pixels at maximum channel delta 11; the former n0 output matched the wrong control. A mapped <use> instance reproduced 113–124 wrong pixels at delta 1–2. The refusal is deliberately line-specific and does not absorb the separately tracked fill-only or pattern-source boundaries.

Gate sensitivity

  • Swapping the x/y percentage bases made the line/viewBox cell fail by 416 pixels at maximum delta 221, the user-space-gradient cell by 2,900 pixels at delta 226, and the older percentage-line cell by 383 pixels at delta 218.
  • Restoring the premature zero-area guard made svg-gradient-zero-area-degenerate-solid fail at its first stroke.
  • Bypassing the object-box early-nothing branch made svg-gradient-zero-area-unit-split fail by 864 pixels at maximum delta 226.

Restoring all three semantics returned the complete 1,043-cell gate to green. No tolerance was added.

Checklist and counts

  • x1, y1, x2, y2: remain open.
  • opacity property and presentation attribute: [x][ ].
  • Chromium-baked cells: 1,035 → 1,043.
  • Sampled frames: unchanged at 16.
  • Named refusal rows: 188 → 198.
  • Filter estate: unchanged at 451 cells.
  • No conformance score was produced or inspected. FLIP's record, rule, and baseline are untouched.

Independent rung review

No Workflow runner is exposed in this environment, so .agents/workflows/verify-rung.js could not be invoked through its scriptPath. I reproduced its two independent roles by hand from a self-contained ignored brief:

  • TICK/LAW: re-read the checklist rules and SVG presentation-attribute section, audited the pinned grammar and both consumers, verified that the four target rows remain open and both opacity rows reopen, checked every claimed evidence/refusal boundary, and checked the no-score/FLIP laws.
  • REPRO: reran the complete Chromium value-family matrix and numeric-alias probes, rendered every candidate through both actual n0 admissions, verified manifest/bake projections and exact counts, proved all eight oracles are additions with zero tolerance, reran Chromium bake provenance, checked strict/best refusal coverage, and reran the exact pixel gate and generated status.

The skeptical pass corrected a documentation overclaim about line px, added a dedicated line-px contract/refusal witness, added the stylesheet opacity route, and clarified probe-only claims. PR review then found that the first zero-area guard preempted valid user-space degenerate solids. The follow-up Chromium matrix established the full object-box/user-space precedence, found the older object-box one-stop wrong pixel, added two external-oracle cells, and pinned overflow exponents to the already-correct range refusal. The requested product-location move did not apply: websem is the engine's semantic compiler, not product/editor code.

Add Chromium-gated x1/y1/x2/y2 coverage, quarantine raw-number and zero-area paint gaps, and reopen opacity for the discovered line-coverage alias.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change admits measured <line> and <linearGradient> coordinate subsets. It adds provenance, range, CSS-value, zero-area, and opacity-compositing refusals. Tests, Chromium fixtures, corpus counts, and SVG capability documentation are updated.

Changes

SVG coordinate and opacity contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Line endpoint geometry and opacity handling
crates/websem/src/svg.rs, crates/websem/tests/strokes_contract.rs, crates/n0_cli/README.md
x1/y1/x2/y2 now use provenance and used-range checks. Partial element opacity on stroked <line> elements now refuses. Contract tests cover numeric, percentage, range, and CSS-value cases.
Linear-gradient coordinate decoding
crates/websem/src/svg_paint_server.rs, crates/websem/tests/gradients_contract.rs, crates/n0_cli/README.md, fixtures/web-first/unsupported/README.md
Gradient coordinates use shared percentage and provenance logic. The decoder rejects unsupported CSS value families, invalid ranges, and live user-space gradients on zero-area geometry.
Line opacity refusal contract
crates/websem/tests/opacity_contract.rs, crates/websem/tests/unsupported_corpus.rs, docs/wg/consolidation/web-checklist.md, fixtures/web-first/STATUS.md
Tests and records cover direct, CSS, inherited, and <use> opacity routes for stroked lines. The opacity checklist rows are reopened.
Corpus, oracle, and status records
crates/websem/tests/unsupported_corpus.rs, docs/wg/consolidation/svg-engine-of-record.md, fixtures/web-first/*
Six Chromium-baked cells and ten named refusal rows are recorded. Fixture manifests, hashes, status counts, and refusal history are updated.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 59b1c

The PR expands SVG coordinate support but currently has bounded correctness issues: some valid degenerate gradients may be refused, overflowed coordinates may silently use defaults, and product resolution logic is placed in a disallowed source path. These should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

In `@crates/websem/src/svg_paint_server.rs`:
- Around line 373-387: Remove the product paint-resolution logic from the
zero-area handling in the gradient resolver, including the GradientUnits match
and ResolvedPaintServer results. Move this behavior to the approved
product-resolver location, or restrict this path to the permitted
contract-record changes only.
- Around line 373-387: The zero-area destination check currently rejects
user-space gradients before degenerate multi-stop ramps can resolve to
source-neutral solids. In the gradient resolution flow, including resolve_linear
and resolve_radial, perform degenerate endpoint or non-positive-radius
classification first, and apply the destination_box zero-area refusal only when
a live gradient still requires the inverse unit-box mapping; preserve
ObjectBoundingBox’s Nothing result and existing solid-resolution behavior.
- Around line 721-726: Update the numeric handling in gradient_length so
exponent-form tokens such as 1e999 and -1e999, which fail both f32 and f64
parsing but pass the existing unit validation, return the admitted Web
used-value range error. Ensure resolve_linear does not receive Ok(None) for
these overflowed values and apply the existing error message consistently.
