Verdict

T6 is ADMIT / SPLIT, with no checklist closure.

textlayout-v8 resolves missing-glyph fallback once per complete shaping cluster across the ordered host-declared family list. The first available static match remains the primary vertical-metrics face. Each cluster restarts the family walk; every reached named family repeats T5c nearest-face selection, and its single winner is accepted only when whole-cluster shaping produces no missing glyph. Fallback never searches a second descriptor in the same family and never splits a base from its combining mark. Adjacent clusters choosing the same exact face are coalesced before final shaping.

The artifact now records the primary face, every used face, contiguous source/cluster/glyph face runs, and each glyph's exact face. Websem still lowers only outlines to ordinary paths, so no font, text, fallback, or resource identity enters rframe.

Chromium measurement

Chromium 149.0.7827.55 establishes the policy independently:

  • Ahem's missing x + U+0301 cluster followed by Bungee is exact to Bungee-only and differs from Ahem-only by 631 pixels at maximum channel delta 255.
  • Canonical A + U+0301 stays in Ahem and differs from Bungee by 1,114 pixels at maximum delta 255.
  • An apostrophe missing from Ahem falls exactly to Bungee.
  • Separate controls establish family-not-face advancement, repeated nearest matching in each fallback family, a terminal reached generic, fallback synthesis behavior, and primary-face vertical metrics when all outlines fallback.

That complete real-Ahem/Bungee bank is probe-only (measured, not celled). document.fonts.check() varied across equivalent probes and was not used as geometry evidence.

The committed derived-font cell's independent control differs by 700 pixels at maximum delta 247. Actual strict and best-effort n0 CLI RGBA both differ from Chromium by 0 pixels / maximum delta 0.

Evidence and records

  • Added one exact 100×100 Chromium cell spanning presentation and inline declarations, inheritance and unset, canonical composition, precomposed and decomposed fallback, paint-only <tspan>, positioned chunks, transform, and <use>.
  • Added a deterministic public-domain Ahem derivative, SHA-256 5c5bae141120698a28040408774fecffbdae863791d7df870fc05c7f52daf12d, whose narrowed cmap exposes face selection without changing the integer Ahem lattice.
  • Graduated svg-text-family-missing-glyph-fallback; exhaustion remains named. Existing patrols now cross a real miss before reached-generic, supporting-face synthesis, and SVG query-grid refusals.
  • Corpus remains 1,051 primitive Chromium cells plus 16 sampled frames; exact text cells move 14 → 15, text-geometry witnesses remain 8, and named refusals move 224 → 223.
  • Updated the text oracle, engine-of-record register, checklist evidence, admitted CLI slice, and fixture records. No checkbox changed. No score was produced and FLIP was untouched.

Gate sensitivity

I deliberately restored the pre-T6 terminal failure at the first incomplete face. All 1,051 primitive cells remained green, then just gate failed loudly on the new exact text cell. Restoring family-list continuation returned the primitive, text-pixel, text-geometry, and refusal gates to green. No oracle was overwritten and no tolerance was added.

Independent rung review

No Workflow runner accepting .agents/workflows/verify-rung.js by scriptPath is exposed in this environment. I reproduced its independent roles manually:

  • TICK/LAW: pass. The pass found and fixed stale reached-boundary wording, strengthened every new face-run range/origin/advance contract assertion, added same-face fallback coalescing coverage, and proved fallback outline geometry can match a direct fallback while primary metrics remain distinct.
  • REPRO: pass. The pass added a host-level exact Chromium-cell test through the real n0_cli admission and corrected the CLI's stale single-face contract wording.

No must-fix or should-fix remains.

Walkthrough

The text layout oracle advances to v8. It adds per-cluster declared-family fallback, multi-face layout artifacts, face-run tracking, a pinned fallback font, exact rendering coverage, and updated refusal and evidence records.

Changes

Text layout oracle v8

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multi-face layout artifact contract
crates/textlayout/src/artifact.rs, crates/textlayout/src/lib.rs, crates/textlayout/src/environment.rs, crates/textlayout/Cargo.toml
ResolvedTextLayout now stores multiple faces, font buffers, face runs, and per-glyph face indices. The face() accessor becomes primary_face().
Per-cluster family resolution
crates/textlayout/src/resolve.rs
Each complete cluster tries declared families in order. The resolver preserves primary metrics, prevents partial cluster splitting, merges adjacent same-face clusters, and emits typed refusals.
Resolver behavior validation
crates/textlayout/tests/oracle_v8.rs, crates/textlayout/tests/oracle_v8_face_selection.rs
Tests cover fallback selection, canonical composition, face-run metadata, metrics preservation, static matching, generic boundaries, synthesis refusal, and exhausted family lists.
Websem fallback fixture integration
crates/n0/src/text_join_spike.rs, crates/n0_cli/src/main.rs, crates/websem/tests/*
CLI and websem tests use the new layout accessor, embed the pinned fallback font, add an exact Chromium rendering cell, and update refusal expectations.
Oracle evidence and status updates
crates/n0_cli/README.md, docs/wg/consolidation/*, fixtures/web-first/*
Documentation records Oracle v8, T6 cluster fallback, fifteen exact text cells, and 223 named refusal rows. Fixture metadata adds the fallback font and case.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 53665

Long text can incur avoidable repeated font parsing and render more slowly. The change is otherwise mergeable, with a localized cache recommended.

727-727: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cache parsed faces during resolve. rustybuzz::Face::from_slice reparses font bytes through ttf-parser. The per-cluster family probe and ink_union loop repeat this work for each cluster and glyph, so long admitted text can make resolution cost grow with input size. Use one resolve-local cache keyed by (FontKey, face_index) for the cluster probe, run-shaping loop, and ink_union; use the cached face's raw ttf_parser::Face for outline bounds.

Addressed the review performance finding in 94535c95.

The finding was valid: resolution parsed a selected face during each cluster probe, again during final face-run shaping, and once per glyph while computing ink bounds. resolve now owns one local cache keyed by verified (FontKey, face_index); cluster probes and run shaping reuse its Rustybuzz face, and ink bounds use the cached face's ttf_parser::Face. The cache does not survive resolution, does not enter the artifact, and changes no pixel or refusal meaning.

Verification after the fix: cargo test -p textlayout -p websem -p n0_cli, exact just gate, formatting, the textlayout architecture locks, and workspace clippy with warnings denied are green.
