A widget reports a fraction of the box it was given. Span added that
fraction straight into a cursor that counts fractions of the row, and Pad
summed its padding onto it, both right only while the offer had the
parent's whole extent -- which a span's does not after a relative child.
DrawResult::size and known_len now compose the answer through the offer's
length, so a container reads lengths of its own box.
That exposed placed_box scaling a fractional answer against a box the
parent had already chosen from it, halving a nested span twice. The
near-edge alignment override becomes per-axis `decided` flags: a box the
parent chose from the answer is the answer, and is not placed again.
Span decides the row axis; Scroll and Stack's sizing child decide both.
Alignment is always the widget's own property now.
The window is no longer a move entry. Chains bottom out in MoveIdx::NONE
and the window is applied where a fraction becomes pixels, in to_px on the
CPU and by the uniform in the shader, which now snaps the summed coordinate
since a floor does not distribute over a sum. A resize rewrites no entry.
Verified: view, minimal, random, tabs and text render byte-identical at
1920x1200 against 5f16617, a live resize to 1280x800 is identical to a
cold render, and the 100-seed oracle, all fifteen shrinker cases at 400
seeds of depth 5, and 1000 seeds of depth 6 pass.

My experimental attempt at a rust ui library (also my first ui library).
It's currently designed around using retained data structures (widgets), rather than diffing generated trees from data like xilem or iced. This is an experiment and I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
Examples are in examples, eg. cargo run --example tabs.
Goals, in general order:
- does what I want it to (text, images, video, animations)
- very easy to use ignoring ergonomic ref counting
- reasonably fast / efficient (a lot faster than electron, save battery life, try to beat iced and xilem)
dev details
not targeting web rn cause wanna use actual nice gpu features & entire point of this is to make desktop apps / not need a web browser
general ideas trynna use rn / experiment with:
- retained mode
- specifically designed around wgpu so there's no translation
- postfix functions for most things to prevent unreadable indentation (going very well)
- events can be done directly where you draw the widgets
- almost no macros in user code & actual LSP typechecking (variadic generics if you can hear me please save us)
- relative anchor + absolute offset coord system (+ "rest" / leftover during widget layout)
- single threaded ui & pass context around to make non async usage straightforward (pretty unsure about this)
- widgets store outside of the actual rendering so they can be moved around and swapped easily (unsure about this but seems to work good for now)
under heavy initial development so not gonna try to explain status, maybe check TODO for that; sizable chance it gets a rewrite once I know everything I need and what seems to work best
it's called iris because it's the structure around what you actually want to display and colorful
