iris-aiandClaude Opus 5 1442443e78 Move the round detail out of the handoff, and say when a scan is owed
The handoff said "three rounds" over four bullets and carried the detail of
each, which belongs in the findings log. It now names the four and their
commit ranges and points at `LAYOUT_LOG.md`, which gains the naming and
sweep round in full.

The check section split in two: the cheap gate runs on every change
including a rename, because the cold dump is the only thing that catches two
same-typed values being swapped; the seed scans run only when the change can
alter what layout computes, and never with the tree still moving under them.

# Handoff
Where the work in flight stands. The settled layout design, the vocabulary
and the measurement method are in `docs/LAYOUT.md`; what the review of #19
found is in `docs/LAYOUT_LOG.md`.
## The Iris layout repair is submitted
**Iris PR #19** (`layout/one-ask`) replaces closed #18. The tip is `6c84b6f`,
and past the reviewed `cadfba0` it is four rounds, each described in
`docs/LAYOUT_LOG.md`:
- **The repair**, `add6774` and `84dad21` -- collapsed-share placement,
retained mask ownership, a redraw-on-reparent defect, and repeated work in
the test harness.
- **The vocabulary and the container API**, `5642f20` through `58ce74d`.
- **Naming**, `55df32a` through `40b89c1`.
- **A sweep over the logic those names exposed**, `8d2b7a5` and `6c84b6f`.
The settled design of the last three is in `docs/LAYOUT.md` under "Three
names, and the one argument that says them". Bryan settled the API over
2026-09-17 to 19; it is current, not frozen.
The core design remains sound. Round-to-nearest is still unchanged.
Two checkouts share one Git storage: `/home/bob/repos/iris` is the active
`layout/one-ask` worktree, and `ai-app-2/iris` stays on `main` at the app's
`32f6ad8` pin until the integration below is ready.
### How to check a round
**Always**, because they cost nothing: format, workspace clippy under
`-D warnings` with and without `layout-diagnostics`, the workspace tests, and
the **cold dump**. `layout_dump` over 400 depth-5 trees is 34,492 boxes, and
it is the only thing that catches two same-typed values being swapped, which
is the failure mode of a rename or a move. The repair moved 650 of those
boxes, all from the collapsed-share correction; every commit since has been
byte-identical to `84dad21`.
**Only when the change can alter what layout computes**: the three seed scans
-- 400 at depth 5, 1,000 at depth 6, 2,000 at depth 4. They cost about a
quarter of an hour and they exist to find logic that is wrong on some tree
shape, so a rename has nothing for them to find (Bryan, 2026-09-19). Never
start one and then edit the tree: cargo rebuilds mid-flight and exits 1 from
a compile error, which reads exactly like a fuzzer failure.
## What is next, in order
1. **Bryan's review of #19.** Fixes are themselves unreviewed code: repeat
`pre-submit-review` over each round's changes, and apply the gate above to
whatever each one touched. The ordinary oracle does not replace absolute
geometry and retained-primitive expectations.
2. **Integrate the app's Iris capabilities before changing its pin.**
`32f6ad8` has 45 commits not reachable from the review branch; shared UI
ownership, richer masks, Android support, and app-side performance work
must survive the integration. The app then absorbs the branch's
vocabulary and container API, all of it already upstream: `rest` ->
`leftover`, `SizeRule` beside widgets, alignment properties, the removal
of `OrthoSize`, region/placement/rel_base, and `PlaceDesc`.
3. **Round-to-nearest**, CPU and shader together as one verified change.
Bryan approved it on 2026-09-17 and neither half has landed; the
derivation, the form to use and what to re-check are in `docs/LAYOUT.md`
under "Rendering the grid (pending)".
Wanted but not started, recorded in `iris/TODO`: transforms on a move entry,
so a whole subtree scales or rotates with one buffer write and no redraw.
Compose-style stretch at the end of a scroll area is the use that prompted
it. A move entry only translates today, and composing through one scales the
`rel` part while `px` passes through untouched, so fixed-size content and
glyphs do not follow a shortened entry.
## Smaller layout items, none urgent
- Nested spans pass `leftover` weight up, so three leftover children in one
inner span beside one in another get three quarters to one quarter. No
other layout system does that; confirm it is wanted.
- A span can overflow itself without bound, so boxes of negative length reach
children and nothing states what a widget may assume about one.
- `Fixed::div` by zero answers `MIN`/`MAX` while `ratio` answers `ZERO`; both
are caller bugs under `debug_assert`, but the fallbacks differ.
- `docs/LAYOUT.md` §4, §5 and the density section name `Painter::place`,
`Painter::region()`, `SetSize`, `desired_width`, `apply_rest`, `Len::dp`,
`Aligned` and `MaxSize`, none of which exist. Do not restore
`OnResize::Translate` or `OrthoSize`.
- `LazySpan`, then `SizeRule::{Min, Max, Clamp}`. A cap may not contain
`leftover`; whether `Max` narrows the child's drawing box is a product
decision.
- `Scroll` taking a direction rather than one axis.
Other product work is in `docs/PLAN.md` and the focused documents it links.
Do not mix it into the Iris layout branch.
