Summary

  • graduate the broad SVG pathLength refusal and carry the attribute's full Chromium-149 dash-calibration behavior on all seven admitted geometry routes
  • add a feature-local, source-blind SVG-number parser plus the pinned-Skia local contour metric, with complete BSD-3-Clause provenance and notices
  • keep rframe unchanged: websem still resolves calibration into final local-space dash intervals and phase
  • preserve absolute local coordinates for live dashed ellipses through n0's private painter route, including their positioned gradient/image paint box
  • add and tick the missing CSS path-length checklist row: Chromium 149 ships the experimental property disabled, and the committed inline/stylesheet drop cell applies the The stroke-join rung: the SVG2-only join values land as Chromium's own drop #77 browser-drop precedent

Measured verdict

Nine new Chromium-baked cells cover attribute grammar, algebra/caps, percentage and mixed resolution, all geometry routes, curves and summed contours, transforms/viewBox/use ownership, numeric range, the finite-cycle/non-finite-phase fallback, and the disabled CSS property.

The wider evidence includes:

  • 96 exact attribute pairs
  • 50 cell mutation controls: 44 pixel-discriminating differences and 6 exact identities
  • a 269-case numeric bank, captured twice per Chromium composite and once through n0; all five post-fix composites are exact with no degradation
  • exact oval metric pins with both adjacent f32 directions pixel-discriminating
  • a translated objectBoundingBox-gradient oval control; the wrong zero-origin route differs by 469 pixels / max delta 224

The numeric sweep found one real late edge: authored zero or malformed-present pathLength can leave a finite scaled dash cycle while overflowing the scaled phase. Chromium drops the dash effect and retains a solid stroke. svg-path-length-nonfinite-phase commits that branch; strict and best-effort now both admit it exactly.

All nine current n0 strict renders have 0 differing pixels and maximum channel delta 0 against Chromium. The primitive corpus moves 297 → 306 and the named refusal register 60 → 59. The stroke-prefixed inventory remains 115 / 114 exact. The CSS path-length and SVG pathLength rows tick; stroke-width/dashoffset SPLIT rows and marker/text-path/motion boundaries remain open.

Verification

  • just bake — pinned Chromium 149.0.7827.55 verified all 306 oracles without overwriting existing ones
  • just gate — 4/4
  • just status — fresh
  • cargo test -p n0 -p websem -p n0_cli -p csscascade
  • cargo clippy -p n0 -p websem -p n0_cli -p csscascade --all-targets --no-deps (passes; pre-existing warnings only)
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • independent TICK/LAW and REPRO reruns: no must-fix or should-fix findings
  • independent OSS/provenance/seam audit: no must-fix or should-fix findings

The saved verify-rung script had no Workflow runner exposed in this environment, so its independent TICK/LAW and REPRO roles were reproduced directly. No conformance score was produced or inspected, and no FLIP record, rule, or baseline was changed.

Walkthrough

This change implements SVG pathLength calibration across seven geometry types, adds compatible path metrics and tests, preserves absolute coordinates for dashed ellipses during rendering, and updates fixtures, documentation, capability records, and third-party licensing notices.

Changes

SVG pathLength calibration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Path metrics and parsing
crates/websem/src/svg_path_length.rs, crates/websem/src/svg_path_length_metric.rs
Adds SVG number parsing, pathLength scaling, and path, rectangle, ellipse, curve, contour, and conic length calculations.
Stroke resolution and contracts
crates/websem/src/svg.rs, crates/websem/tests/*, crates/csscascade/tests/svg_presentation_hints.rs
Scales dash intervals and phase from geometry-local lengths. Covers malformed, negative, zero, saturated, grouped, and <use> cases.
Absolute dashed ellipse rendering
crates/n0/src/drawlist.rs, crates/n0/src/glyphless.rs, crates/n0/src/paint.rs, crates/n0/tests/drawlist.rs
Adds AbsoluteDashedOvalStroke, preserves ellipse origins and paint boxes, and validates material, raster, drawlist, and damage behavior.
Fixtures and records
fixtures/web-first/*, docs/wg/consolidation/*, crates/n0_cli/README.md, crates/websem/README.md, README.md, crates/websem/NOTICE.md
Adds nine Chromium-backed fixtures, updates capability counts and checklists, documents behavior, and records Skia-derived licensing information.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90+ minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a9066

The PR expands SVG pathLength rendering support and adds source-number parsing, but the parser is placed in a layer reserved for semantic processing rather than parsing. Merge should wait for that code to move or for an explicit architecture exception; the remaining documentation and test follow-ups are bounded.

207-215: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Strengthen the non-leak assertion.

StrokeOpacity computes 1 on any element that declares no stroke-opacity. The assertion therefore passes even if pathLength populated some other longhand. Compare the element against a sibling that carries no pathLength, so the test detects a leak into any hint-reachable longhand.

♻️ Suggested stronger check

Add a control element to STANDALONE:

   <rect id="pathlength-not-cascaded" pathLength="100" width="8" height="8"/>
+  <rect id="pathlength-control" width="8" height="8"/>

Then compare the hint-reachable longhands:

     assert_eq!(
         property(root, "pathlength-not-cascaded", LonghandId::StrokeOpacity),
         "1",
         "pathLength must not leak into an unrelated computed longhand"
     );
+    for longhand in [
+        LonghandId::StrokeOpacity,
+        LonghandId::StrokeWidth,
+        LonghandId::StrokeDasharray,
+        LonghandId::StrokeDashoffset,
+        LonghandId::StrokeMiterlimit,
+    ] {
+        assert_eq!(
+            property(root, "pathlength-not-cascaded", longhand),
+            property(root, "pathlength-control", longhand),
+            "pathLength changed {longhand:?}"
+        );
+    }

As per coding guidelines: "csscascade must not add a matcher of its own."

hint-reachable computed longhands against that control rather than asserting
StrokeOpacity equals its default. Keep the existing cascade behavior and do not

Inline comments:
In `@crates/n0_cli/README.md`:
- Around line 168-171: Update the authored-zero wording in
crates/n0_cli/README.md lines 168-171 to state that saturation applies only to
non-empty geometry, while zero-length geometry returns a zero scale before
saturation; make the same documentation change in
docs/wg/consolidation/svg-engine-of-record.md lines 1805-1810, preserving both
pathLength contracts.

In `@crates/websem/README.md`:
- Around line 28-29: Remove parser ownership from the websem path by relocating
parse_svg_number and the pathLength source-grammar responsibility to the
established parser or cascade boundary; update svg_path_length integration and
documentation accordingly, or obtain and record an approved architecture
exception if relocation is not possible.

Apply the same fix in `@crates/websem/src/svg_path_length.rs` around lines 47 -
176.

In `@fixtures/web-first/README.md`:
- Line 79: Update the path-length grammar text in the table row to escape or
otherwise restructure the literal alternative separator so Markdown keeps the
content in one cell while preserving the documented grammar.
