Summary

T1 of the SVG text epic is a safety split, not a grammar admission.

  • patrol authored font-size provenance before the pinned cascade can erase its basis or quantize its value;
  • enforce the ratified first numeric profile on the completely composed text CTM: identity linear mapping plus integer device translation;
  • refuse browser-consumed font/text declarations that the v0 run artifact does not carry;
  • add three exact Ahem cells, nine named refusal rows, and closed/hash-pinned text add/bake/gate tooling.

The primitive corpus remains 1,051 Chromium-baked cells plus 16 sampled frames. The separate exact text suite moves from 6 to 9 cells, and the named refusal register moves from 197 to 206 rows.

Closes #82. Part of #69.

Measured verdict

Before this fence, both strict and best-effort rendering could emit clean but wrong text:

  • authored 5119px became 5120px in pinned Stylo and differed from Chromium by 149 pixels at maximum channel delta 255; percentage, em, and absolute-unit routes reproduced the class;
  • a quoted custom-property string containing /* hid a later 5119px declaration from the coarse source patrol and reproduced the same 149-pixel / delta-255 alias;
  • 3.125vw differed by 1,591 pixels / delta 255, while sampled vmin, calc()/vw, ex, ch, and cqw routes differed by 391, 398, 624, 1,200, and 225 pixels;
  • fractional text/group/<use> translation differed by 40 pixels / delta 128; scale 1.1, rotate 45°, and skew differed by 44/103, 107/255, and 40/64;
  • italic font, letter-spacing, vertical writing mode, and dominant baseline differed by 68, 200, 1,520, and 320 pixels, all at delta 255;
  • inherited text-anchor="end" was identical to the admitted direct spelling in Chromium, but the old direct-only read silently used start, changing 1,400 pixels at delta 255.

Every candidate was captured twice under Chromium 149.0.7827.55 and rendered through the actual strict and best-effort n0 commands. A final amplified near-identity transform control was pixel-identical in Chromium and both admissions, so it did not expose a second transform-source class.

Evidence and doctrine

The three admitted cells cover the size-source cascade crossing, integer root/text/group/<use> translations, and exact final-CTM cancellation. All nine text cells are byte-exact with Chromium under the pinned Ahem identity. The text baker now imports the same hash-pinned chromium_capture.ts used by primitive bakes and probes, verifies every existing oracle, and creates a missing oracle with exclusive-create semantics.

No checklist box moves. Full CSS/SVG font, text, value, and transform grammars remain open. Attribute and property rows remain separate, the patrol never supplies a value or adds a matcher around Stylo, and no conformance score was produced. FLIP records, rules, and baselines are untouched.

Gate sensitivity was proved before trusting the green result in two passes. I temporarily bypassed the final-CTM predicate, and just gate failed loudly because the fractional-translation contract admitted a frame. I then independently bypassed the quoted-comment and ancestor-attribute guards; their focused source-contract tests both failed loudly. Restoring all three predicates returned every primitive cell, 9 text cells, and 206 refusal rows to green.

No Workflow runner was exposed in this environment, so .agents/workflows/verify-rung.js could not be invoked through its scriptPath. I reproduced its independent roles manually:

  • TICK/LAW: no row is eligible; the full listed grammars remain incomplete, CSS/property twins stay distinct, and the implementation is a one-way refusal patrol rather than a second cascade. No must-fix or should-fix finding remained.
  • REPRO: closed/sorted enumeration, source/oracle/baker/shared-capture hashes, two Chromium captures, strict/best admission identity, never-overwrite behavior, mutation discrimination, and count freshness were independently checked. No must-fix or should-fix finding remained.

Verification

  • just bake (verified all 1,051 existing primitive oracles; no overwrite)
  • just text-bake
  • just gate
  • just status
  • cargo test -p websem -p n0_cli -p textlayout

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The SVG text compiler now guards authored font-size and text-layout semantics before shaping and validates the final composed CTM. Tests, deterministic text fixtures, bake provenance, unsupported-corpus entries, tooling, and documentation now cover the expanded nine-cell text suite and seven new refusal rows.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compiler authored-source and final-CTM fences

The suite adds registration and focused gate commands, shared deterministic capture, manifest validation, three fixtures, and hash-pinned oracle metadata.

Documentation records the narrowed text profile, nine exact cells, and refusal register growth from 197 to 204 rows.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 764c8

The PR strengthens SVG text handling, but current code can still accept certain inherited or stylesheet text-anchor settings and valid CSS declarations that should be refused, producing incorrect text placement or sizing instead of a clear fallback. These correctness gaps should be fixed before merge.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The implementation addresses the #82 font-size audit with authored-source patrols, coverage for relative units, var() and CSS escapes, named refusals, cascade tests, Chromium-backed cells, and unchanged checklist status. Verification of the committed fixture contents is incomplete because relevant SVG and PNG files were excluded by path filters.

Resolution

Inspect the excluded font-size fixture files, including fixtures/web-first/text/svg-text-font-size-cascade.svg and its Chromium PNG, plus the related unsupported SVG fixtures excluded by !/*.svg and !/*.png. Confirm that the fixtures provide the required discriminating rasters and accurately support the #82 record update.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The PR includes changes beyond linked issue #82, including final CTM enforcement and refusals for font and text-layout declarations such as font shorthand, letter-spacing, writing-mode, and dominant-baseline.

Docstring coverage is 45.45% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 22 functions across 4 files. (11 skipped: 10 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Inline comments:
In `@crates/websem/src/svg.rs`:
- Line 1128: Update text-anchor handling in compile_text and
patrol_text_authored_semantics so inherited ancestor attributes and stylesheet
declarations are either rejected or their computed value is consumed before
shaping. Exclude the text element itself from the ancestor-attribute validation
because compile_text already consumes its direct attribute, while preserving the
existing Anchor::Start fallback.
- Around line 1660-1665: Update text_css_source_refusal to tokenize CSS
declarations and property identifiers with cssparser before checking refused
properties, so quoted comment markers and escaped names such as font-\73 ize
cannot bypass detection; alternatively reject any fragment the patrol cannot
parse. Add Chromium-gated coverage for both bypass forms, including the
oversized font-size value.

In `@docs/wg/consolidation/web-checklist.md`:
- Around line 710-718: Update the “2026-08-31 text safety split” note to state
that the supported CSS font-size declarations may be direct finite non-negative
unitless or px values, while preserving the existing quantizer and
integer-multiple-of-five constraints.

In `@fixtures/web-first/text/add_cell.py`:
- Line 38: Align source validation in the text-add flow with the root check used
by the baker: reject SVG bodies whose opening svg element is not before the
first closing angle bracket, including XML declarations or leading comments,
before writing the fixture or manifest row. Update the validation around the
visible "&lt;svg" and "&lt;text" checks, preserving valid root-form SVGs and
keeping add/bake behavior consistent.
