Implement spec-oriented paint phases for normal flow, floats, and
positioned descendants, including atomic stacking groups and applicable
z-index handling for flex and grid items.
Share cached ordering between drawing and hit testing, propagate
invalidation across stacking scopes, and preserve ancestor transforms
and clipping for promoted descendants.
Add regression coverage for paint order, hit testing, reparenting,
clipping, flex ordering, and the old Reddit layout. Document the
supported stacking model and remove the completed implementation plan.
Snap dotted and dashed border geometry to physical pixels so centered
patterns cannot begin on ambiguous half-pixel coordinates. This makes
rectangular dot placement deterministic across llvmpipe and macOS GPU
drivers.
Update the old Reddit golden image to use the snapped dot phase.
Optimize compile-time header dependencies
- Extract lightweight singleton declarations.
- Remove unnecessary core.hpp, stream, pack, and container includes.
- Add explicit direct dependencies across system, network, graphics, and syntax headers.
- Forward-declare stream and pack types where possible.
- Normalize selected network headers to LF.
- implement per-side CSS border styles and patterned rendering
- preserve rectangular rasterization for thin dotted borders
- separate CSS and native-widget border defaults
- correct inline atomic-box and vertical-align baseline layout
- collapse adjacent block margins in rich-text flow
- preserve forced line breaks and formatting margins
- size HTML text inputs from font ascent and descent
- expose replaced-control text baselines to inline layout
- enforce single-owner painting for inline backgrounds and borders
- enable and update the old Reddit visual regression golden
- add generic layout, border, and form-control regression tests
- document spec-first HTML work and project build conventions
