Verdict

NV1 is CLOSE/SPLIT. Direct static non-root <svg> now establishes its viewport; only the SVG <svg> element row closes. The shared geometry/overflow rows, HTML <svg>, <symbol>, root host sizing, viewport animation, and instance-sized <use> remain open.

What changed

  • Resolve nested placement, dimensions, viewBox mapping, nearest-viewport percentage bases, and overflow clipping entirely in websem.
  • Thread current percentage bases through geometry/effect prepasses, paint servers, clips, masks, filters, markers, and ordinary <use>.
  • Add the scoped svg svg { overflow: hidden } UA rule and route the one- or two-value overflow presentation shorthand through the one Stylo cascade.
  • Lower the viewport clip to the existing antialiased rframe::ClipPath; no SVG/DOM/viewport/backend vocabulary crosses the frame contract.
  • Replace the blanket nested-SVG refusal with four narrower patrols: direct <use> targeting <svg>, and nested viewport sources in pattern, mask, and marker programs.

Chromium measurement

Chromium 149.0.7827.55 established the dimension/default table, transform order, child axis/diagonal bases, overflow cascade and edge mode, effect order, nesting, use-contained behavior, and standalone/inline parity before implementation.

A follow-up probe found a silent boundary: <use width="32" height="16"> targeting an <svg viewBox> uses an instance-sized viewport. Treating those dimensions as inert changes 2,880 pixels at maximum channel delta 233, so that route now refuses by stable name. Simple nested viewports in pattern/mask/marker sources measured exact, but those wider resource programs remain independently patrolled.

Twenty-eight new Chromium-baked cells are exact. The primitive corpus moves 1,051 → 1,079, sampled frames remain 16, and the named refusal register moves 223 → 226.

Gate sensitivity

I temporarily replaced mapped child viewBox bases with the parent bases. Ten new cells failed loudly by 15–800 pixels, up to maximum channel delta 233. Restoring the implementation returned the complete gate to green.

CodeRabbit then correctly found that the first implementation parsed the presentation attribute as two longhands and therefore dropped valid two-value shorthand syntax. A fresh pinned-Chromium probe confirmed overflow="visible hidden" equals the CSS shorthand and computed auto hidden; dropping it changes 768 pixels at maximum delta 233. The fix parses ShorthandId::Overflow once and tests both axis orders. Reverting only that call made just gate fail the dedicated new cell by the measured 768 pixels/Δ233; restoration regated green.

No tolerance was added.

Independent rung review

No Workflow runner is exposed in this environment, so I reproduced the repository verifier's TICK/LAW and REPRO roles manually. The law pass first found that the draft claimed explicit auto and zero extents without isolated committed cells; I added both cells and a focused dimension-table contract test before landing. The final review confirms only the SVG <svg> row changes, every unsupported route declares a stable strict/best-effort boundary, the capture module is unchanged, and no score or FLIP artifact was touched.

Verification

  • pinned Chromium bake: 1,079 oracles verified
  • just gate; just status
  • actual n0 strict and best-effort renders for every candidate, including all audit/review-added cells
  • focused viewport contract: 8 passed
  • affected full crates after review fix: cargo test -p csscascade -p websem -p n0_cli
  • cargo test (full workspace, before the narrow review fix)
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy --no-deps --workspace --exclude grida-canvas-wasm -- -D warnings
  • pnpm fmt:check; pnpm exec oxlint --deny-warnings
  • pnpm --filter www types:check
  • pnpm --filter @grida/reftest typecheck, build, and test (51 passed, 1 skipped)
  • manual relative-link and pre-PR OSS audits

Local pnpm --filter www build entered Next 16.3's optimized Turbopack build and then made no progress or emitted an error on two bounded attempts (the second ran 10 minutes). The first hosted build completed successfully; all refreshed hosted checks are still required before merge.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Direct non-root SVG elements now establish bounded viewports. The compiler resolves geometry, mappings, percentage bases, overflow clips, and effect ordering. Tests, Chromium fixtures, refusal records, and documentation cover the new behavior.

Changes

Nested SVG viewport support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Overflow cascade
crates/csscascade/*
Nested SVG elements receive overflow: hidden by default. SVG overflow presentation attributes now populate both overflow longhands.
Viewport geometry and compilation
crates/websem/src/svg.rs, crates/rframe/src/clip.rs
The compiler resolves nested viewport dimensions, transforms, viewBox, nearest percentage bases, antialiased clips, effects, and resource consumers. Pattern, mask, and marker sources retain nested viewport refusals.
Contract validation
crates/websem/tests/nested_viewport_contract.rs, crates/websem/tests/unsupported_corpus.rs, crates/csscascade/tests/svg_presentation_hints.rs
Tests cover cascade precedence, geometry, clipping, bases, effect order, invalid input, nesting limits, <use>, and refusal ownership.
Fixtures and records
fixtures/web-first/*, docs/wg/*, crates/n0_cli/README.md
The fixture corpus, oracle manifest, capability status, research notes, checklist, and engine-of-record documentation record the admitted viewport behavior and retained refusals.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 502d5

Valid two-value SVG overflow attributes can render nested viewports with incorrect clipping. This should be corrected before merge.

In `@crates/csscascade/src/dom.rs`:
- Around line 853-876: Update the overflow attribute handling around the
existing overflow_x and overflow_y parsing to parse attr.value once via
PropertyId::NonCustom(ShorthandId::Overflow.into()), then extend the expanded
declarations into block. Remove the separate longhand parse checks and add a
regression test covering overflow="visible hidden" on nested SVG, preserving the
expected computed overflow-x: auto behavior.
