Why

Implements the owner-approved bounded pilot from gridaco/nothing#140. The audience is an engine contributor who needs a repeatable answer to a described SVG claim, without mistaking image similarity for feature support.

One claim receives PASS, FAIL, or UNRESOLVED. Undescribed inputs remain observations. Expected refusals have a separate assertion kind and never count as rendered support. Required missing/unresolved cases fail the job; there is no percentage, ranking, best-of-oracles selection, or conformance aggregate.

What changes

  • Isolated developer runner/viewer in packages/grida-reftest/svg-assertions, using existing dependencies but no legacy scoring or renderer-routing code.
  • Actual cargo run -p n0_cli --bin n0 in strict and best-effort modes, twice each; fresh Chromium through the unchanged sole hash-pinned capture module. New-only output directories, input/tool hashes, bounded processes, original PNGs, exact decoded-RGBA comparisons, diagnostics and repeated output.
  • Optional fresh pinned resvg and historical upstream PNG observations remain distinct; neither can rescue a failed Chromium assertion.
  • Two registered 500×500 primitive cells: unchanged upstream sharp rectangle and a derivative changing only green fill to blue. MIT provenance retained. The third pilot assertion reuses the existing geometry-unit refusal witness.
  • CI executes the pilot in the existing seam job and retains the static report. Existing fixture gates stay independent.

Measured verdict

The fresh Chromium green/blue control changes 160,000 pixels at maximum channel delta 255. Eight scratch actual-CLI renders (two admissions × two repeats × two sources) match their own Chromium capture exactly. This proves two scene assertions, not the full rectangle grammar.

Sensitivity was tested in the real renderer: temporarily mapping CSS green to blue at the solid-paint boundary made just gate fail on the upstream rectangle, with the same 160,000-pixel / delta-255 difference. The new pilot failed that assertion while the blue and expected-refusal assertions remained passing. The renderer source was restored byte-for-byte and the original gates/status rerun green. No engine mutation is in the PR.

An accidental concurrent Cargo test run caused a render timeout in one exploratory run; it was preserved as FAIL, not passed or overwritten. A preliminary run also caught tool-file drift and became UNRESOLVED. These are failed instrument runs, not positive compatibility evidence.

Verification

Completed locally: full relevant Rust tests (websem, n0_cli, n0, n0-model,
rframe, cg, animation-sampling, textlayout, including doctests), cargo fmt --all, strict cargo clippy --no-deps -- -D warnings, Node formatting/lint,
both TypeScript projects, and 40 assertion-tool contract tests. A deliberately
empty test selection exits 1 with the required CI invocation.

The independent reproducer renewed the shared-harness probe (eight CLI renders
exact; green/blue 160,000 pixels / delta 255), reran every just gate component
and just status green without further STATUS diff, checked all source/oracle
hashes, and confirmed all 1,537 old oracle bytes and records unchanged.

Review found two API-contract defects in this new instrument: pngjs normalizes
hidden RGB for non-palette tRNS and accepts a replacement IHDR after our first
dimension check. Both are fixed at the decoder boundary, with direct PNG-byte
regressions: full bounded framing/CRC/header validation precedes allocation;
lossy or unbounded encodings explicitly refuse; indexed-palette transparency
remains exact. Review also prompted case-local decoded buffers and bounded
control reloads, root/test-config CI scope, and failure on zero discovered tests.
This stops at the decoder/API boundary because it is the shared cause, not a
pixel-tolerance workaround. A follow-up review also exposed permissive
decompression (missing/checksum-bad streams or short rows could invent pixels)
and blocking FIFO opens: native bounded strict decompression, exact stream/row
length checks, and nonblocking descriptor validation now guard those cases.
No dependency implementation was patched.

The renewed actual-CLI run after review fixes exits 0 on the current tool identities: both
render-exact assertions and the separate expected-refusal assertion PASS, with
no integrity failures. The reproducer checked image records and named pairs
against original bytes. Stored green PNG matches Chromium/n0; fresh resvg's
rectangle difference remains 990 pixels at maximum channel delta 1, visibly
recorded without a tolerance or alternate-oracle pass. No existing oracle was
changed. This is per-assertion evidence, not an aggregate conformance result.

The local browser policy blocked opening the HTML viewer, so no interactive
browser UI verification is claimed. The static report data, images and escaping
tests were verified separately.

The saved .agents/workflows/verify-rung.js Workflow runner is not exposed in
this environment. Independent TICK/LAW and REPRO roles ran by hand. Two TICK/LAW
audits found the issues addressed above; all must_fix/should_fix findings were
implemented with regressions. A final TICK/LAW attempt was blocked by a
tool-policy error, so no final independent TICK/LAW approval is claimed. The
ordinary independent REPRO verdict is PASS on the implementation before the three PR-review follow-ups below; those follow-ups have renewed local typechecks, all 40 contract tests, and an actual-CLI pilot PASS on their current tool identities.
This is not a claim that the Workflow ran.

PR review follow-ups

Commit 3e2233e addresses all three inline findings: partial Chromium captures retain positional repeat slots and guard decoded-image lookups, empty stderr cannot suppress signal/exit failure causes, and the parent TypeScript config preserves the node_modules exclusion. Three focused regressions cover these capture branches. The setup example now creates the output parent explicitly. No renderer, capture posture, oracle, or tolerance changed.

CI build diagnosis and corrections

Hosted failures were retained and diagnosed, not passed:

  • The first seam job exhausted its 45-minute budget during a cold native CLI build after the architecture and tool tests passed. Removing the upstream-checkout-only FORCE_SKIA_BINARIES_DOWNLOAD switch restores normal registry lookup, but does not by itself eliminate source compilation: Skia 0.99.0 publishes no Linux archive for n0's exact GL/SVG/WebP feature combination. The release asset list and captured Cargo feature set confirm that mismatch.
  • A later run reached the harness's ten-minute build limit with SIGKILL / execution-timeout; all three assertions became UNRESOLVED with n0-build-unavailable, and the report was uploaded. Earlier hosted native Skia compilation took over fourteen minutes. d60db34 therefore gives compilation a separate bounded twenty minutes, and the enclosing seam job its prior forty-five plus twenty. Each render/capture still has one minute. No build features, renderer semantics, or comparison rules change.
  • A new cache key lets the expanded job save the dev-profile CLI build, which the older immutable test-artifact cache did not contain. This is a build-cache update, not an engine frame cache.
  • Cargo cache restoration also exposed a report-path collision: immutable mkdir correctly refused EEXIST. Reports now live outside Cargo caches in runner temp, keyed by run ID and attempt; the uploader uses the same basename. No old directory is deleted or overwritten.
  • The initial temp-path edit used runner.temp at invalid job-env scope. The corrected workflow resolves it only in steps. Pinned actionlint 1.7.7 reproduces the invalid-scope failure and validates the correction, excluding only its stale cache-workspace-crates metadata warning (also present on base main; the current upstream v2 action defines that input). No repository linter dependency or CI suppression was added.

Local formatting/lint, typechecks, all 40 contract tests, and the actual-CLI pilot pass after the cold-build-budget change. The out-of-repository report placement was also exercised locally. Final-head hosted verification is now complete: all four GitHub Actions workflows pass on d60db34. The seam job records 40 passing contract tests, PASS for resvg-rect-green and resvg-rect-blue as render-exact assertions, PASS for geometry-unit-refusal as a refusal assertion, and a successfully uploaded immutable report. The active PR-check watcher exited 0; all three review threads remain resolved.

CodeRabbit reviewed the implementation fixes through 3e2233e without further actionable findings; all three earlier threads are resolved. Further automated review of the CI/build follow-ups was rate-limited, so no bot review of those final edits is claimed. The independent-role and interactive-viewer limitations above remain explicit.

Boundaries

The primitive corpus grows from 1,537 to 1,539. Refusal rows remain 351; sampled frames remain 16; exact text cells remain 16; artifact-geometry witnesses remain eight. No checklist tick, existing oracle overwrite, capture change, new tolerance, FLIP decision, renderer fix, or legacy-tool retirement. The broad scratch resvg survey remains measured, not celled, outside these promoted controls. Wider resource/font/export profiles and legacy succession remain follow-ups under the proposal.

In `@packages/grida-reftest/svg-assertions/runner.ts`:
- Around line 505-511: Update the pair comparison around observations[left] and
observations[right] to guard both images.get lookups before calling compare, so
missing decoded images are skipped without throwing. Also update the Chromium
sample-selection logic in image() to retain the first successful sample
consistently, while preserving the existing comparison and report-generation
flow.
- Line 450: Update the Chromium capture failure assignment around
execution.error, execution.stderr, execution.signal, and execution.exit so empty
stderr does not suppress later causes and nonzero exit codes are represented
when no error or signal is available. Preserve a meaningful failure message for
signal and exit-code failures, avoiding reports with empty or null causes.

In `@packages/grida-reftest/tsconfig.json`:
- Line 15: Update the tsconfig exclude setting to explicitly include both
"node_modules" and the existing "svg-assertions" entry, preserving the current
exclusion while preventing dependency sources from being discovered.
