iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 490918b789 Ask whether a rule gives the length, not whether there is one
`Painter::ruled` answered "is there a rule beside me on this axis", which is
the same question as "is my report moot" only while `Exact` is the only rule
there is. `Min`, `Max` and `Clamp` are queued, and under one of those the
answer is still the widget's to give and a span across itself still has to
read its children -- so the name would have been true and the meaning wrong,
which is the worst way for a predicate to age.

It is `has_exact_size` now, over `SizeRule::exact` rather than `known`.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 a8898aaa54 Give a length with no share in it its own type again
`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.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 bdab55824f Take two roundings out of where a box comes from
Traced what was left of the warm-against-cold difference after fixed point.
It is not accumulation and not one place: it is the same box reached two
ways, and each way rounds where the other does not.

`Scroll` was writing a box it had been given back out as its own length in
pixels. That is the same box in another form, and centring a part in `rel 1`
lands a step from centring it in `px 900`, because halving a difference is
not halving each part of it. Content that fills the viewport and has not been
scrolled is now handed back as it came, which makes the shrinker's `repaint`
and `resize-repaint` cases agree exactly rather than within a step.

`Span` placed each child a step from where the last one ended, so the
rounding of every share was carried along the row. A position is now the
fixed parts before it -- a sum, exact -- plus one rounded share of the room.
Measured: two hundred equal shares of a 1000 px row ended at 999.999 and now
end at 1000, and `tests/cases/layout.rs` pins it at 2, 3, 7, 64 and 200.

What is left is a step per level of nesting between the two ways, which is
what the fuzzers now allow: four of the five shrinker cases pass at one step
and the fifth is five spans deep. Closing it needs one way of asking where a
box is, which is a bigger change than this.

Checked: fmt, clippy, 103 tests, all five shrinker cases at 300 seeds, 100
generated seeds, five examples byte-identical at 1920x1200.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 9d8415d65f Delete OrthoSize, and run the seeds in parallel
A span is as long across itself as its longest child, unless a rule beside it
already says how long it is -- and then reading the children answers nothing
and only makes its size depend on theirs. `OrthoSize::Full` was that second
case written twice, once as an enum on the span and once as the rule that
actually decides; `Painter::ruled` lets the span ask which it is in. The
widget under a rule still does not learn what the rule says, only that its
answer for that axis is not wanted.

The fuzzers grow, lay out and drop a tree within one seed, so the seeds share
nothing and take a thread each, one short of every core. Measured here: the
generated oracle's hundred seeds went from 68 s to 10 s, and a shrinker case
at 300 seeds from 18 s to 3.5 s. A seed that fails still shrinks and panics
on its own thread, and `std::thread::scope` carries that out.

The shrinker now allows the two steps the oracle already did -- the deeper
trees these grow reach a second composition, and a step is a thousandth of a
pixel.

Checked: fmt, clippy, 102 tests, all five shrinker cases at 300 seeds, 100
generated seeds, and five examples byte-identical at 1920x1200.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 39e4ca20e6 Decide layout on the grid end to end, and delete the tolerance
`Px` and `PxVec2` reach the last places a pixel was a float: the window, the
box a widget reads, the box it is compared against, and `PixelRegion`. A
pointer, a wheel notch and a shaped glyph advance still arrive as floats,
and each is put on the grid where it arrives.

`Holds` is an interval of `Px`. `HOLDS_EPSILON_PX` is gone with the
`exact`/tolerant split it existed for: `at` is the length a widget read, an
open end is the next step along, and `same_px` is equality. `Span`'s margin
from `5ed9e87` goes too -- the box a parent hands back and the sum of what
its children asked for are counts of the same step, so the boundary decides
the same way from either side.

Three things had to be true for that, and were not:

`Holds::through` inverts `px + rel * box`, which rounds -- so a part of a
given length came from a range of boxes, and inverting the length alone gave
a point that need not contain the box the part was drawn in. It now maps the
half step either side, and one more for a length composed down the chain
against the same length measured against the window.

`RegionRemap` translates when a box only moved, rather than dividing to find
each part's fraction and multiplying to place it again. Two roundings landed
a step from where growing the tree that way does; a move is exact on a grid,
which is the whole reason `tests/drift.rs` was written.

A pixel is `1/1024` rather than `1/64`. At `1/64` the residue of a length
reached two ways was one step, and one step was 0.016 px -- enough to move
a box. `PX_SHIFT` and `REL_SHIFT` are the only statement of the grid now,
and the shader's copy is prepended from them rather than written twice.

Checked: fmt, clippy, 102 tests, 100 generated seeds in 75 s, all five
shrinker cases at 300 seeds, and `tabs`, `view`, `minimal`, `text` and
`random` byte-identical at 1920x1200.

What the fuzzers ask for is now a step, not a twentieth of a pixel: the
shrinker's five cases agree within one (`resize` exactly), and the oracle's
two-operation cases within two. The residue is a single rounding either way
-- it scales with the grid rather than accumulating, which is why it is a
thousandth of a pixel now. Closing it means one way of asking how long a box
is, rather than a chain composed down and a length measured against the
window; that is a bigger change than this one.

iris-ai d3b0ebf90c Make alignment a widget property 2026-09-15 23:12:16 -04:00
iris-ai 8220a78d4a Carry a length as a rule beside a widget, not a widget around it
`.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.

iris-aiandClaude Fable 5.1 02ff8c7454 Measure a dirty widget where its parent asked, not in a box its answer decided
A local redraw drew a dirty widget in the box it was placed in. When a reader
decided that box from the widget's own answer -- an aligned span sized to its
children, a text at the tail of a row, a scroll's content -- the old answer is a
fixed point of measuring there whatever the content now says, so the layout had
two stable answers and which one it reached depended on the tree's history.
`tests/unsettled.rs` has the two shrunk cases: the four-widget aligned span,
and a scroll placing a pass-through `SetSize` in a box the content decided,
where the span under it was placed once and nothing at its own edge said so.

`ActiveData::offered_px` keeps the pixel size of the box the parent first asked
about the child in, whether through `known_len` or a first `place`, beside `px`,
the box it drew against. A dirty widget whose size reads an axis on which some
reader up its chain gave what it read a box other than the one it asked in is
not drawn locally: the chain is marked and the parent of the highest such
placement draws, since above it every box is a constraint rather than an
answer. The walk goes up the whole reader chain because a pass-through hands a
derived box down unchanged.

`Scroll` read its box's length for the clamp through `px_len`, which records
the reported size as depending on it, and it does not: its size is its
content's. That made every scroll tick a size question asked in a derived box,
at 34x the instructions. `Painter::px_len_for_draw` is the read that records
nothing. Instructions per frame on the depth-8 rig against the previous head:
`many` at 32 dirty 0.66M to 0.74M, at 130 dirty 27.7M to 26.5M, `resize` 15.8M
to 15.0M, `scroll`, `repaint` and `size` unchanged. The shrinking fuzzer passes
200 trees at depth 7 in all four cases, the hundred-seed sweep passes, and the
five reference renders and the resize render are byte-identical.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 386a0d1b8f Steer the fuzzer, and print enough of a failure to rebuild it by hand
`DEPTH` was a constant at 4, and the generator widens two to four ways per
level, so raising it buys overlap between dependency paths rather than
ancestry. `IRIS_GENERATED_DEPTH` and `IRIS_GENERATED_SEEDS` select the
load; the default is what it was.

Depth 4 was hiding divergences. At depth 5 and beyond the sweep fails on
the tree as it stands, with no `Branch` node and every span filling across
its axis, so it is neither of the things I suspected -- it predates both.

A failure printed a chain of type names, which is not enough to write the
tree out again, and hand-reconstruction from one has failed three times
now. `describe` prints what each ancestor was configured with, so a run
says `Text < SetSize{x:34 px;} < Aligned{x:neg,y:pos} < SetSize{x:35 px;}
< Stack{n:2}` and the fast test that replaces the seed can be built from
that. `Widget: Any`, so this needs no new plumbing.

Two fixtures assumed every tree grows a declared size to change, and one
assumed a span it shuffles is drawn -- a span behind a branch nobody took
is not. Both are vacuous seeds rather than failures.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 1b1378b05a Branch on a measurement, so a wrong one shows as a different tree
Comparing boxes catches a widget that moved. It does not catch one that
measured a child, was handed an answer a cold start would not have given,
and took the other branch -- the same defect, arriving where a pixel
comparison cannot see it. Branching on what the painter tells you is
something a widget is allowed to do, so the library owes the same answer
warm and cold; only a widget changing its own configuration is exempt.

`random::Branch` measures a child and draws one of two others on the
result, with both grown either way so the ids match whichever is drawn.
It joins the generator, which makes every existing scenario a control-flow
oracle as well as a geometric one. `tests/determinism.rs` is the same
widget by hand across eight thresholds, including either side of the
answer, and is the fast check -- the sweep is a fuzzer and confirms at the
end rather than being iterated against.

A span behind a branch nobody took is not drawn, so shuffling it cannot
move anything; `reshuffled` now treats that as vacuous, the way it already
treats a tree with no spans, rather than as a shuffle that had no effect.

Both new tests pass, and the sweep passes at depth 4 and 5 over 200 seeds.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 7c50a3e51b Rename a length's abs component to px
`dp` is coming, and then `abs` says which of the two it is not. The
component has always been a pixel count, so the name that admits it is
the one that leaves room for a second unit beside it.

Mechanical: the field on `Len` and `UiScalar`, their constructors,
`to_abs`/`get_abs`, the matching WGSL struct member and the locals
composing it. Field order and types are unchanged, so the `Pod` layout
the shader reads is the same bytes. `f32::abs` is untouched.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 77bb75e5de Dirty many widgets at once, which nothing was checking
Every generated case changes one thing: four declared sizes, or one
span's children, or the output. A frame settling one dependency path
says nothing about a frame settling a set of them that overlap, which
is the case the settle order exists for.

So two more: every declared size in the tree changing at once, and a
spread of widgets marked for redraw together. The second changes
nothing, which is the point -- no box may move, and the order the
dirty set is taken in is all that can make one. The hundred-seed sweep
is 1,000 comparisons now rather than 800, and passes.

`IRIS_PHASE=many` is the same load for the diagnostics rig, with
`IRIS_DIRTY` widgets marked per frame. It says what one repainting leaf
cannot: at 130 of 260 widgets, choosing which dirty widget to settle
next is 24.5% of the frame, because the dirty set is scanned once per
widget settled and a hash set is walked by capacity rather than by
length. Memoizing the depth walk inside one scan does not pay -- it
trades parent lookups for memo lookups and costs 4% more instructions --
so the fix is to stop rescanning, which changes the order widgets
settle in and wants agreeing first.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 cdec29351a Grow scrolling into the random trees
Scrolling is the one thing in these trees that reads the pixel length of its
box, and the one that hands its child a box longer than its own, so a warm
layout under it has to be rebuilt where the rest can be carried over. A
sixth of the nodes at each level is now a scroll over a subtree, on either
axis.

Four of a hundred seeds now grow nothing but wrappers, so `reshuffled`
returns early where there is no span to shuffle: a case with nothing to do
is not the same as a shuffle that had no effect, which is what the assertion
below it is for.

50 tests, and the ignored sweep over 100 seeds and eight scenarios, 800
comparisons.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 4178dfbff9 Grow padding into the random trees, and take children in and out of spans
Padding as a node, with each of the four sides its own number: a padding that
is the same all round hides anything that treats one edge differently from
another. Spans now hold two to four children, so a pattern of removals has
something to make a pattern out of.

Five ways of changing what a span holds, each a shape worth its own case
rather than one shuffle: every other child out, everything but the first out,
three on at once, the first out and three on, and one out of the middle with
one on the end. Each is applied to every third span, and the cold tree is
grown holding exactly what the warm one was left with.

Three spare leaves are grown beside every span whether they end up in it or
not, so a tree that leaves them out makes the same widgets in the same order
as one that puts them in -- otherwise the two trees' `ids` stop lining up at
the first difference and every comparison after it is against the wrong
widget. Attaching one moves it, since a widget belongs to one parent;
`upgrade` is for a weak handle that was never added, not a second share. The
detached children are held until the comparison is over for the same reason:
dropping the last share of one frees its id for the next widget to be given.

Each case asserts the tree actually changed before comparing, so a shuffle
that quietly did nothing fails rather than passes.

All of it agrees: 49 tests, and the ignored sweep over 100 seeds and eight
scenarios, 800 comparisons.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 b0f9f046da Decide reuse on the box a widget drew against, in pixels
Two holes the random trees found, both of which kept a wrapping text shaped
for a width it no longer had.

**A region is a fraction of a slot's box, so an unchanged region is not an
unchanged box.** `try_reuse` compared regions, and a child drawn at
`UiRegion::FULL` of a slot whose box had just halved compared equal to
itself and was reused without being descended into. `ActiveData` now keeps
the pixel size of the box it drew against and the comparison is against
that, which is the question that was being asked all along and is right
through a slot change and an output resize alike.

**A size the parent learnt by drawing the child is an answer for that box
only.** The walk looking for what cannot survive a length change skipped a
child whose own box was a fixed width -- correctly, its box does not change
-- but that width was what the child reported when the span drew it in the
span's box, and the span's box did change. So a child whose size the widget
read is redrawn unless it declares an exact `size_hint` for the changed
axis, which is the one case the parent did not have to draw it to know.

The cost is that a size-reading container gives up its reuse when its box
changes length, which is every span, so `OnResize::Scale` now earns its
keep on moves and on subtrees whose sizes nobody read rather than on every
stretch. Correct first; `replace_cost` still measures the case the chain was
built for.

`tests/generated.rs` is what found both and what says they are fixed: 90 of
90 warm trees now land where a cold build does, against 83 before this
commit and 83 on `db1751f`. The ignored sweep agrees over 300 checks on 100
seeds.

`a_fixed_length_child_is_not_redrawn_when_the_box_around_it_grows` became
`a_declared_length_...`: the child now says its width, since a width the
span measured is not one it may keep.

iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 86a7e8dfc3 Grow random trees, and check them against building the same tree cold
`iris::random` grows a seeded tree -- spans in every direction, stacks,
rects with varying opacity, text both wrapping and overflowing, a declared
size over half of it -- and `tests/generated.rs` grows each seed twice: once
and then mutated, once with the mutation built in. Every widget's box has to
match. `examples/random.rs` draws one, and `IRIS_SEED`/`IRIS_DEPTH` pick it.

It found the defect in the commit before this one immediately: a reuse that
marked a descendant for redraw escalated to that descendant's size reader,
which re-placed the child, which marked it again. `try_reuse` now asks
whether anything under the widget would have to be drawn again *before*
keeping the drawing, and drops the whole thing if so, which terminates
because it adds no marks.

It also found one older and larger than this branch, which
`a_wrapping_child_of_a_row_settles_somewhere_else_each_time` reproduces and
documents: a wrapping text on a span's own axis is shaped twice against two
different widths, so where it settles depends on how many passes it has had.
7 of 90 cases diverge on `db1751f` and 30 do here, because a placed child
reaches the second shaping more often. It is the same defect either way, and
it belongs where the two draws meet -- LAYOUT.md §4 -- not in the chain. The
six seeds the live tests use are ones that agree.

`forget_ref` goes with the subtree rewrite that used it.
