The length kind that asks for a part of what is left once the fixed
lengths are taken is called leftover: Len::leftover(2), Len::LEFTOVER,
Size::LEFTOVER, Len::leftover the field, and apply_leftover. It says
what it is where "rest" reads as "the remainder of the list" as often as
"the remaining space", and every agent who has touched this has reached
for a third word for it.
Locals called rest that meant a region or a widget are renamed with it,
since the word now names something else.

SetSize took its declared length out of UiRegion::FULL, which is the box
it was already given, so a span that had sized that box from the same
hint had the fraction taken twice: .width(rel(0.5)) in a 400-wide span
drew its child 100 wide. It held under a Pad or the root, which do not
honour a hint, and hid under px, where 200 of a 200-wide box is all of
it. The text example was 111,923 pixels from upstream/main because of
it.
Whoever draws a widget now takes its declared length, in its own box,
which is what a fraction of one means, and is the identity for a caller
that already reserved the space. rest is not taken: a share of what is
left over is only a length to the widget dividing one, so it passes up
in the size as it does out of a span. SetSize keeps only what it
declares.
A declared length is then part of the box its parent decided, so
changing one has to redraw the parent; the lengths resolved into a box
are kept beside it and compared. Assuming instead that any dirty widget
which declares a length needs its parent costs 17% of a frame that
dirties 130 of 260 widgets, and buys nothing.
All five reference renders, the resize render and the image replay are
byte-identical to upstream/main, the 100-seed sweep passes, and the
resize fixture is 1.286 ms against 1.289 before.

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.

`SetSize` drew its child in whatever box it had been given and then
reported its declared length, so the child answered about a box it was
never going to have -- and the answer on the *other* axis was taken under
that. A wrapping text under `SetSize(x: 76px)` was measured in the whole
640 available, reported one line, and the parent sized itself to one line.
The text was then drawn again at 76 and reported two, but by then its box
was settled and nothing revisited it. A repaint put it right, which is why
the first frame and the second disagreed.
So the layout was not a function of the state, and "cold" was not a fixed
point -- which means the warm-against-cold oracle has been measuring
against a tree that had not settled, and some of what it reported as a
retained-layout defect was the cold side being wrong. Nothing about
retained state is involved in this: it reproduces in six widgets on a
first frame.
The declared length is what the child gets, so that is where it is
measured. `apply_rest` carries `rel` and `rest` through unchanged, and a
`px` length composes as an offset, so the child's box does not move again
when this widget's own box shrinks to what it declared.
`tests/unsettled.rs` passes, and the generated sweep now passes at depth 5
where it failed. Depth 6 and 7 still fail; there is more than one of these.

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.

A span reporting `Len::default()` whenever a child had a share threw away
how many shares it was holding, so each level of nesting re-divided a
share rather than dividing the same space. One span of a rect beside a
span of three gave 1/2 and 1/6 each, where the same four rects directly
in one span get a quarter.
A span that sizes from its children does not resolve `rest`, it passes
the weight up; resolution belongs at the nearest ancestor with a length,
and since the output became a box there is always one. The placement loop
already divides by `len.rest / total.rest`, so it consumes carried
weights unchanged -- only what the span reported was wrong.
The uneven nesting is the case that fails without this; the even one
passes either way and is here as the statement of intent.

`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.

A container measures a child by drawing it in a box it may not keep, so
one layout asks a text for a dozen widths and comes back to widths it
has already had -- the hottest text in the depth-8 tree draws 32 times.
Each ask re-ran the shaper, because the two caches in front of it held
one entry each and a trial width alternating with a final width evicts
the answer about to be wanted again. `perf record` put 63% of a resize
frame in text and 0.9% in `draw_inner`.
So keep more than one: a bounded store of shapings on `TextData`, keyed
by the text, the attrs and the width, holding the parley layout and the
glyphs placed from it. Bounding the store rather than each buffer is
what keeps it a fixed cost -- +4 MB on a tree of 4,000 texts, which is
19 MB less than the code before #16 holds after the same resizes.
`TextBuffer` now holds the glyphs of the shaping it is drawn as, which
is where `TextView::tex` was. That leaves one place to invalidate rather
than two, so the `MutDetect` flags on a view's text and attrs have no
reader and go, along with the `buf.changed = true` after every edit.
On a 40-row tree of distinct random paragraphs, 500 resize frames:
124.2M instructions per frame before, 17.7M after, and 45.9M when the
width never repeats. The five reference renders and the resize render
are byte-identical, and the 100-seed sweep passes.
`tests/revision_cost.rs` is that tree, written in the API subset
`43ce8c7` shares so the same source measures the code this replaced.
Report the worst frame and p99 beside the median, since a stutter is
what somebody sees. Count glyph placements, and count a text render per
ask rather than per shaping, so the store cannot hide how many times a
layout drew the same text.

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.

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::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.

A widget's region is now held in the coordinates of the slot it draws in
rather than the window's, and `Painter::place` is how a container asks for a
slot: it draws a child it decides the box of and may decide again. Everything
under that slot is a fraction of its box, so placing the child a second time
is one entry to write whether it moved or changed length. A child drawn any
other way has no slot and shares its nearest ancestor's.
That is what keeps the chain short. `chain_cost` measured depth as the cost
-- free to 8, +42.6% at 16 -- and a slot per widget put a transcript's glyphs
past that for nothing, since almost every slot was zero. `Span`, `Aligned`
and `Scroll` are the containers that re-place a child after drawing it, and
`tests/layout.rs` pins that four widgets between a span and a leaf leave the
leaf's chain one deep.
`UiRegion::stretch`, `UiRegion::stretchable` and `UiScalar::stretch` are
gone. Nothing is inverted any more: a box that changed length is written to
its slot, and the descendants recompose against it in the shader. That also
retires the case the guard existed for, where a fixed length has no fraction
to recover -- `tests/layout.rs` now stretches a 40-tall row on its other
axis, which `stretchable` refused outright.
What still walks the CPU is deciding who must draw again, which no chain can
answer: `mark_resized` descends from the widget whose box changed and marks
anything whose own box changed length and whose drawing reads it. A part of
a box with no relative extent on an axis is a fixed length, and composing
into it leaves none either, so the walk stops where a length did not change
-- an 80-wide child in a widened row is not redrawn though it says `Redraw`.
`Span`, `Pad`, `Stack`, `Offset`, `Aligned`, `SetSize` and `LayerOffset` say
`Scale`: each places in fractions and offsets of its own box and none reads
the box's pixel length. `Scroll` and `MaxSize` do read pixels and stay
`Redraw`.
45 tests pass, five of them new. Render verification comes after the CPU
side, per the owner.

Small, and disjoint from #12 — this touches `task.rs`, `harness.rs` and `render_state.rs`, none of which #12 goes near.
`Tasks` held an `Arc<Window>` only to call `request_redraw` when a task finished, which made the task queue, and so `DefaultRsc`, impossible to build without a window. It now takes an `Arc<dyn WakeTaskQueue>`, and `Window` implements it.
Waking also moves from *the task ended* to *an update was sent*, which is when there is actually something for the host to apply. A task that keeps running after sending one no longer holds it until it finishes, and a task that sends none no longer asks for a frame nothing needs.
`iris::harness` is what that buys. `UiRenderState` already does layout, hit testing and primitive building with no surface, so a test can build a tree, run frames, move a pointer and read back where widgets landed. `tests/harness.rs` covers span layout, resize relayout, press routing, hover start and end, wheel scrolling with its clamp, and a task update reaching the tree. None of them could be written before, since the only way into layout was a window.
It does not draw. A claim about pixels still needs a real surface — I checked this one against the rig rather than asserting it: `examples/task` under headless sway, centre pixel `ff0000` before the click and `0000ff` after, so the windowed path still applies task updates under the new wake.
The only core change is `UiRenderState::output_size()`, so that a host reading back the size it set does not have to keep a second copy.

`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`

|
8 | fn takes_unsized<T: ?Sized>(_: &T) {}

The pad tab of the tabs example -- the one built out of `sized` and the flexible widths -- renders pixel-identical to before the rename.

Two majors, and the renderer is under everything else left to extract -- so it goes before the slices that would otherwise be written against wgpu 28 and then again against 30. `image` 0.25.6 -> 0.25.10 rides along. `winit` stays on 0.30.12, since 0.31 is only a prerelease and nothing here needs it; `parley` 0.11.1 is current.
What the API asked for, beyond the version:
- **An instance takes the display it will present on**, and GLES on Wayland needs it, so the window the surface is made from is handed over with it. That one matters for Android rather than for this machine.
- **`get_current_texture` returns a status rather than a `Result`**, which replaced an `unwrap` that would have panicked on a resize or an occluded window: reconfigure when the surface is outdated, lost or suboptimal, and skip the frame when there is nothing to draw into.
- **Presenting moved to the queue**, still after `pre_present_notify`.
- **Bind group and vertex buffer layouts are sparse**, so each slot states `Some(layout)`.
Verified the same way as #11: the tabs example with two runtime-added images, an image alone in a layer, and glyphs from a four-page atlas all render identically. `tests/draw_cost.rs` gives 33.6/167/587/2855 us per frame at 8/64/256/1024 layers, against 33.3/161/588/2903 on wgpu 28 -- no change.

Replaces the bindless `binding_array<texture_2d<f32>>` the renderer bound every texture through. That array needs `VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing`, which a real share of Android GPUs lack, so the old shape did not run there at all.
The two things being bound want opposite treatment, so they are now split:
- **Glyph atlas pages become layers of one `texture_2d_array`.** A glyph primitive carries a `layer` instead of a view/sampler index pair. A layer index is an ordinary sampling operand, so this needs nothing beyond plain Vulkan 1.0 / GLES. Growing the atlas recreates the array with headroom and `copy_texture_to_texture`s the old layers across, no readback.
- **A standalone image gets its own texture and its own bind group,** and draws in its own call. It no longer needs a per-instance entry in `PrimitiveData`: the bind group has already picked the texture.
`Primitives` keeps images in a list of their own as a result, with `PrimitiveChange::is_image` naming which list a renumbering belongs to -- the two have independent index spaces, so `(layer, inst_idx)` alone would collide between them.
Two notes on judgement calls, since this slice was rebuilt on top of `main` rather than transplanted:
- The source version renamed `GlyphEntry::is_colored` to `is_color` and added a second `IS_COLOR` flag constant beside the existing `GlyphEntry::IS_COLORED`. Both dropped: #10's naming and its `flags()` are kept, and UVs stay `Vec2` rather than going back to `[f32; 2]`.
- `ImageGpu` no longer holds the `Texture` behind its view, which removes an `#[allow(dead_code)]`. A `TextureView` keeps its own reference to the texture, checked by rendering rather than assumed -- see below.
### Verification
```
cargo fmt --all --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings
cargo test --workspace --locked
```
All clean; the 4 text-edit tests pass. The only clippy output is the pre-existing future-incompatibility notice about `naga`/`wgpu`/`winit`.
Because this is a rendering change, it was also run for real rather than only compiled. The `tabs` example was rendered on this machine's GPU -- Venus onto an RX 7900 XT, confirmed from the loaded ICD (`libvulkan_virtio.so` on `/dev/dri/renderD128`) rather than assumed, since a failed Vulkan init here silently falls back to llvmpipe and would make the screenshots meaningless.
Screenshots before and after the change are **byte-identical** (same md5) in two scenes: the default tab, which exercises text (the atlas path) and rects, and the image tab with a standalone image pushed at startup, which exercises the per-image bind group. The image-tab scene needed a temporary local edit to the example to push the image without a click; that edit is not part of this branch. The same comparison, re-run after dropping the `Texture` field, is still byte-identical -- which is the check that the view alone keeps it alive.

Replace the cosmic-text path with Parley layout and Swash rasterization, backed by shared glyph-atlas pages. Shaping, editing, rasterization, and glyph rendering move together because they share the text buffer and rendered-glyph types; splitting them further would require a temporary renderer that is immediately removed.
This is reconstructed rather than replayed from the extraction history. It also fixes issues found during review:
- texture binding changes remain set when an atlas patch follows a new page
- pressing an empty field places a caret and accepts input
- selection motion delegates collapse behavior to Parley
- character deletion follows logical clusters rather than visual neighbors
- the unused root-level Swash dependency is omitted
Four public-behavior integration tests live in `tests/text_edit.rs`: empty-field input, multibyte IME preedit replacement, UTF-8-safe backspace, and selection replacement. The old twelve-test inline block and implementation-restating cases are omitted.
Every added source comment was manually reviewed. Comments that narrated implementation or history were removed; retained comments document cache/rasterization keys, GPU upload constraints, focus representation, bidi geometry, or IME semantics.
Known limitation: atlas pages currently grow without eviction. Each page is 4 MiB on CPU and GPU. An arbitrary cap would leave cached rendered-text UVs pointing at reused glyph slots, so bounding this safely needs a later generation/invalidation change.
This changes public text types and signatures. GPU glyph rendering is covered by compilation rather than a live-surface test.
Verified with:
- `cargo fmt --all --check`
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
- `cargo test --workspace` (four integration tests pass)
Cargo still reports inherited future-incompatibility notices for existing wgpu/winit dependencies; there are no current clippy warnings.
