+  like `abs`/`rel`/`rest` — `dp(16)` instead of a bare `16` wherever a

+- **`UiRenderState`/`Painter` gained `density()`/`set_density()`** (physical

+## Density: `Len::dp`, resolved at `apply_rest` time (2026-09-06)
+
+Iris asked for a third length kind beside `abs` (physical pixels) and
+`rel`/`rest` (a fraction of the parent) — IRIS_TODO.md's "density-
+independent length unit" — after the P0 phone pass found 16px text
+drawing at roughly a third size on a real phone. The fix that shipped
+first (RUST.md's P0 box) was a global stopgap: divide the whole window
+into a "logical" coordinate space (physical ÷ `content_scale`) and let
+the shader's NDC mapping stretch it back up onto the real framebuffer.
+That fixed the *size* but not the *sharpness* — a glyph rasterised at the
+small, pre-stretch size and then stretched onto more physical pixels than
+it has texels for is blurry, which is exactly what Iris's next report
+said.
+
+**The fix**: `Len` gained a `dp` field, resolved against a `density: f32`
+(physical pixels per dp) at the one place a `Len` becomes a `UiScalar`
+(`Len::apply_rest`) — `abs + dp * density`. `density` lives on
+`UiRenderState` (`set_density`/`density()`) and `Painter` (`density()`),
+set once from `DisplayMetrics.density` in `android::view::new_peer`; the
+desktop backend has no per-monitor density wired up yet and stays at
+`1.0`. Every layout call site that used to call `.apply_rest()`/
+`.to_uivec2()` now passes `painter.density()` (nine call sites — `Span`,
+`Sized`, `MaxSize`, `Aligned`, `Scroll`, `List::place`, and
+`UiRenderState::reposition` itself). This also meant the Android
+boundary's global logical-space stopgap could come out entirely: window
+size, touch coordinates and insets are physical pixels again, matching
+`AndroidRenderer`'s own swapchain resolution, with `dp` doing the
+per-length work the global divide used to do for everything at once.
+
+**Text is the case that needed more than the `Len` plumbing.** A widget's
+`font_size`/`line_height` are plain `f32`, not routed through `Len` at
+all (there is no sensible `rel`/`rest` for a font size). `TextBuffer::
+shape` now takes `density` directly and multiplies `font_size`/
+`line_height` (and any span override) by it before handing them to
+parley — so the size that reaches both the line-breaker and the
+rasteriser (`TextData::place`, which reads back whatever `shape` set) is
+the display's *physical* size, and the glyph atlas holds a bitmap at the
+resolution it is actually shown at. `GlyphKey.size` already keys on the
+resolved size, so a cache entry is naturally per-physical-size with no
+further change. The one caller with no `Painter` to read density from
+(`TextEditCtx::layout`, cursor movement and hit-testing) reads a second
+copy kept directly on `TextData` (`TextData::density`) instead — an
+accepted duplication rather than threading a `Painter` into every input
+handler for one field, the same tradeoff `AndroidRenderer::content_scale`
+already makes for the Diagnostics page.
+
+**What did not change**: `rel`/`rest` are unaffected (already
+resolution-independent, a fraction of the parent). `Span::gap` and
+`Padding`'s four sides moved from bare `f32` to `Len` so `dp(...)` works
+on them the same as any other size; a bare number is still `abs`,
+physical pixels, unchanged.

+      **Redelivered again, 2026-09-06, a later pass.** Iris's report on
+      build a9232ac, with screenshots: text now the right size but
+      **blurry**; opening the keyboard still **wipes every glyph**
+      (rects stay, only text disappears); the **header buttons have
+      nothing behind them and overlap the transcript text**.
+
+      **1. The keyboard wipe.** Hypothesis (given in the task, confirmed
+      by reading the path before changing anything, per AGENTS.md):
+      `android::view::IrisViewPeer::surface_changed` fires on *every*
+      `SurfaceView` size/format change, not only a genuinely new
+      `Surface` -- showing the IME under `adjustResize` resizes the same
+      surface through this exact callback. The handler unconditionally
+      set `renderer = None` and called `AndroidRenderer::new`, which
+      builds a fresh, empty glyph atlas and fresh GPU buffers via
+      `UiRenderNode::new`, while `iris_core`'s CPU-side glyph cache
+      (`primitive/text.rs`) kept the atlas UV coordinates it had already
+      handed out against the *old* atlas -- every glyph then drew from a
+      rectangle pointing into a texture that had just been recreated
+      empty. Confirmed by reading `AndroidRenderer::resize` (already
+      existed, already did none of that -- only `surface.configure` and
+      the window uniform) against what `surface_changed` was actually
+      calling instead. **Fix**: `surface_changed` now calls
+      `AndroidRenderer::resize` when a renderer is already live, and only
+      builds a new one when `surface_changed` finds `renderer` still
+      `None` (a genuinely new surface -- after `surface_destroyed`, e.g.
+      backgrounding). Not independently re-verified against a forced IME
+      resize on this pass's emulator (no display keyboard exercised
+      end-to-end here); the reasoning is a direct code read plus the
+      existing `resize` path already being surface-only, not a
+      screenshot diff -- **the next agent with emulator time should do
+      the before/after screenshot this box originally asked for.**
+
+      **2. The blur.** Root cause: the P0 fix that made text the right
+      *size* (dividing the whole window into a "logical" space, then
+      letting the shader's NDC mapping stretch it back onto the real
+      framebuffer) rasterised each glyph at the small, pre-stretch size
+      and then displayed it stretched onto more physical pixels than it
+      had texels for. **Fix, and the density-independent length unit
+      Iris asked for the same day (IRIS_TODO.md) turned out to be the
+      same fix**: `Len::dp`, resolved against a `density` now carried on
+      `UiRenderState`/`Painter`, replaces the global stretch -- window
+      size, touch and insets are physical pixels throughout again
+      (`WindowInsets`, renamed from `LogicalInsets`), and
+      `TextBuffer::shape` multiplies `font_size`/`line_height` by density
+      before handing them to parley, so the atlas rasterises at the
+      display's real physical resolution. Full design in docs/LAYOUT.md's
+      "Density: `Len::dp`" section and the public-API summary in
+      docs/IRIS.md's 2026-09-06 entry.
+
+      **3. The header.** Only each button's own `rect(...)` painted
+      anything, so the gaps between/around them and the status-bar strip
+      above showed `CLEAR_COLOR` (black) one layer back, and the row's
+      reserved height was three `abs` (now-physical-pixel) button boxes
+      -- smaller than the dp-correct size the transcript below uses,
+      which is what read as "overlap" once the two disagreed. Fixed with
+      a `HEADER_SURFACE` rect stacked behind the whole row and every
+      header size moved onto `dp(...)`.
+
+      **4. Keyboard diagnostics, so Iris can report back even if a
+      keyboard-triggered regression persists.** `on_insets_changed` now
+      edge-triggers ~500ms after `ime_bottom` becomes non-zero, capturing
+      the same report the on-screen Diagnostics button produces, logging
+      it, copying it to the clipboard unprompted, and showing it in a new
+      plain-view overlay (`IrisView.showDiagnosticsOverlay`, Copy/Close)
+      that draws independently of iris's own renderer.
+
+      **Verified this pass**: `cargo fmt --all`, `cargo clippy --workspace
+      --all-targets` and `cargo clippy` on `android-app` (both `-D
+      warnings`, zero beyond the pre-existing `tabs-ui` unused-dependency
+      and wgpu future-incompat notices), `cargo test --workspace` (all
+      passing), `cargo ndk -t arm64-v8a check`/`clippy` for both the
+      `transcript-screen bench` feature set.
+
+      **Then run on this checkout's own emulator** (x86_64 debug,
+      `--features "transcript-screen force-gles bench"` -- this AVD has no
+      Vulkan adapter under a plain `-gpu host` boot, matching every prior
+      emulator finding in this file): `run-bench.sh` end to end, no crash,
+      `frames=534 janky%=79.03 ... cpu_p50=1.3ms`, 24/24 swipes, 400/400
+      streamed events -- unchanged in shape from prior readings, so the
+      diff cost nothing on the success path. **Header background**:
+      screenshot confirms the `HEADER_SURFACE` panel now sits behind all
+      three buttons (`/tmp/bench-after-run.png` this pass). **Keyboard
+      wipe**: forced a real `surface_changed` two ways -- `adb shell wm
+      size 1080x1900` (screenshot before/after, text intact) and actually
+      opening the soft keyboard via `settings put secure
+      show_ime_with_hard_keyboard 1` + tapping the message field
+      (ui-trace confirmed a real resize, elements moved -547px; keyboard
+      visible in the screenshot, text still fully rendered, not wiped).
+      Both are real evidence the reuse-renderer fix works, though neither
+      is the literal before/after diff this box originally asked for --
+      **still worth a deliberate side-by-side screenshot pair in a future
+      pass.**
+
+      **Found during this same verification, not fixed, needs a follow-up
+      pass**: after the keyboard-triggered resize, the top button row
+      appeared to render a **second time**, well below its real position,
+      inside the transcript's scroll area (same colours/text, unmistakably
+      the same three buttons) -- and a tap aimed at the composer's
+      "Message" field landed on "Run benchmark" instead (a second
+      benchmark run started, visible in logcat as two `iris bench report:`
+      lines from one session). Only seen after a resize with the keyboard
+      genuinely open; the plain `wm size` resize screenshot pair did not
+      show it, nor did the fresh-install screenshot before either resize.
+      **Not root-caused this pass** -- time ran out before isolating
+      whether this is the `Span::DOWN` two-phase draw (LAYOUT.md's
+      provisional-then-real placement) leaving a phase-1 primitive
+      retained somewhere it should have been moved from, something
+      specific to the keyboard's `on_insets_changed` rebuild racing a
+      redraw, or unrelated to this pass's changes entirely (not verified
+      against a build predating this session's commits, so do not treat
+      "caused by this pass" as established -- MACHINE.md's pinned rule
+      about not attributing without measuring applies here too). Also
+      noteworthy: `capture_keyboard_diagnostics` never fired in this
+      session (no "iris keyboard diagnostics" log line) despite the
+      keyboard visibly opening -- `on_insets_changed`'s `ime_bottom` may
+      not be populated the way expected on this emulator/API level, or
+      the duplicate-row state above interfered; **also needs a follow-up
+      pass** before relying on the auto-capture on a real phone.
+
+      **Not verified this pass**: anything on Iris's real phone, the
+      two-density crispness check IRIS_TODO.md's unit item asks for, and
+      the two open items just above.
+

       phone" items this box's own text names as follow-ups are fixed --
