Bryan's call, 2026-09-16: a length and an alignment are properties of one
widget, so a widget cannot both be 100 wide and take two shares of a row --
that needs two widgets, and the second one should do as little as possible.
`WidgetPtr` already was that widget: it draws its child in the whole of its
box and reports what the child said. It only lacked a name that says so and
a way to make one around an existing widget.
`Wrapper` rather than `Wrap` so it cannot be read as the text setting, and
`.wrapper()` rather than `.wrapped()` for the same reason. Its child stays
optional, since being a swappable slot is what it was written for and what
the tab bar still uses it as.
`set_ptr` is deleted rather than renamed. It had no caller, and putting a
widget into an existing wrapper is what `Wrapper::set` already does.
`tabs` draws its centred square again: `.sized((100, 100)).center()
.wrapper().width(leftover(2))` is two widgets where the chain without
`.wrapper()` was one, and `.width` was overwriting what `.sized` set. That
was the last of the three ways `tabs` had drifted from canonical `main`
unnoticed; what is left between them is the truncated multiply's antialiased
edges and the widget count itself.
`widget_trait!` takes no attributes, so `.wrapper()` carries an ordinary
comment and the explanation lives on `Wrapper`.
Checked: fmt, clippy, 83 suite tests, 17 core unit tests, the release oracle
at 100 seeds, and `tabs` rendered at 1920x1200 against `main`'s own.

`UiScalar` was `Len` without the `leftover` weight, which is the separation
canonical `main` already had as `Len` beside `LayoutLen` and this branch
collapsed. It is needed back for the queued clamp: a cap may not contain a
share, because a cap has to read the report a rule otherwise makes moot, and
a share puts the container's division into the same equation -- two
self-consistent assignments, which is the multiple-fixed-point failure
generated seed 13 punished for orthogonal sizing. `min(report, cap)` is not
a `LayoutLen` either: it is a sum of parts, and the smaller of two of them
is not one.
So `UiScalar` is `Len`, what was `Len` is `LayoutLen`, and the two say in
their docs which is which: a `Len` is pixels plus a fraction of a box -- a
position being the length from the box's start, which is why a span is two
of them -- and a `LayoutLen` is a `Len` plus a claim only a container
dividing its room can answer. `From<Len> for LayoutLen` is the one-way step
between them.
Names only; the shader's `UiScalar` is renamed with them. Checked: fmt,
clippy, 105 tests, and `tabs`, `minimal`, `view`, `text` and `random`
byte-identical at 1920x1200.

`.width()` built a `SetSize` whose whole job was to answer `size_hint`, so
every declared length cost a widget, an `ActiveData` and a link of chain to
say one number. It is now a `SizeRule` per axis on `WidgetData`, beside
`region_node`, resolved by `Painter` where the widget is drawn. `SetSize`
and `MaxSize` are gone; `MaxSize` had no caller but its own builders.
That settles which of two answers is the size. A rule wins on the axis it
names and the `Size` returned by `draw` answers the rest, applied once in
`draw_inner` rather than by each widget that could carry one -- so the
widget under a rule never learns of it. `Painter::size_hint` reads the rule
first for the same reason: a rule that beats what a widget would draw has
to beat what it says about itself.
`declared_lens` still falls back to a non-leftover `size_hint`, which is
how an image or a gap gets its own pixel size rather than the whole offer.
That is the offer's business rather than a declaration's, and it falls away
when a widget occupies its reported size inside the box it was offered.
`known` and `declared` are separate because a share is a length to whoever
divides one and not to whoever composes a box: `.width(leftover(3))` is
known without drawing but cannot narrow anything.
Checked: fmt, clippy, 85 tests, and 100 generated seeds agreeing warm
against cold in 67.6 s. `minimal`, `text` and `view` render byte-identical
at 1920x1200; `tabs` differs only in the widget count it prints about
itself, which is two wrapper types smaller.
`Sized` shadowed the marker trait, so a `?Sized` bound in any crate that imports the prelude failed to resolve -- a compile error in someone else's code that nothing here would have caught. It was already biting inside iris: `default/mod.rs`, `widget/ptr.rs` and `widget/text/build.rs` all imported `std::marker::Sized` explicitly to get out from under it, which they no longer need.
`SetSize` rather than `FixedSize` because the size it sets need not be fixed -- `width(rest(2))` (a flex weight) and `width(rel(0.5))` (half the parent) build the same widget, and both are more common than `sized((100, 100))`. It also pairs with the `MaxSize` beside it in that module: one sets a length, the other caps it. The builders are unchanged.
`tests/prelude_bounds.rs` is a compile-level guard -- it fails to build if the prelude shadows `Sized` again, which I checked by reverting `src/` under it:
```
error[E0404]: expected trait, found struct `Sized`
--> tests/prelude_bounds.rs:8:22
|
8 | fn takes_unsized<T: ?Sized>(_: &T) {}
| ^^^^^ not a trait
```
The pad tab of the tabs example -- the one built out of `sized` and the flexible widths -- renders pixel-identical to before the rename.
