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 d98969158f Give a slot to the children a container places, and nothing else
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.

iris-ai c8ec0866d4 Exercise the subtree remap, which no test reached
`mov` ran ten times across the suite and never once recursed: `Rect`,
`Image` and `()` are the only widgets claiming `OnResize::Scale` and all
three are childless, so the walk that remaps a subtree's children -- the
thing `Remap` exists for -- had no coverage at all.

`Stretchy` is a test widget that claims `Scale` and holds a child, which
is the shape no shipped container has. Removing the recursion leaves its
child behind at the old box and the test says so.
