irisandClaude Fable 5.1 ba2afbaedb iris: a cleared glyph atlas must un-cache every RenderedText, not just empty itself
Iris's phone, 2026-09-06 22:16: after leaving the app and returning,
every glyph drawn *before* the resume came back as fragments of other
letters, while the diagnostics text drawn after it was perfect.

The renderer rebuild does force a full redraw -- `surface_changed` calls
`render.resize(...)`, which sets `UiRenderState::resized`, which makes
the next `update` take `redraw_all`. What survives that is one cache
further in: `TextView::render` returns its cached `RenderedText`
whenever the wrap width, buffer and attrs are unchanged, so
`TextData::place` is never reached, nothing is re-rasterised into the
fresh atlas, and the *previous* atlas's uv_min/uv_max/layer go straight
back to the GPU. Only text whose content changed after the resume
re-shapes -- exactly the split in the screenshot.

One mechanism rather than a per-holder invalidation path: `GlyphAtlas`
carries a `generation`, bumped by `clear`; a `RenderedText` records the
one it was placed against; and `TextView::render`'s cache key includes
it, so clearing the atlas makes every cached render un-reusable at once.
`Painter::glyphs` debug-asserts that a submitted quad's generation is
the live one, catching the fault at the submission instead of on screen.

Test `clearing_the_atlas_re_renders_cached_text_instead_of_reusing_it`
(iris/src/widget/text/mod.rs): draw, clear the atlas, resize, draw
again, and assert the atlas holds the same glyph count. Confirmed to
fail without the cache-key line -- it trips the new debug_assert with
"glyphs placed against atlas generation 0 submitted against 1".
