Follow-up to #544. Boundedness was decided per fill: a fill with no shape and no clip was skipped, and the rest of the graph still rendered. The spec decides it for the whole graph — a bare solid makes the definition unbounded, and "applications must confirm that the color glyph definition is bounded, and must not render the color glyph if the defining graph is not bounded" — except inside a composite, where the format-32 table can bound a sub-graph whose own fills are unbounded (source-in needs only one bounded operand; destination-out only a bounded backdrop; clear is always bounded).

Implementation. The recorded step list is analyzed before painting:

  • Layer scopes come from the composite driver's backdrop/source pushes and their adjacent pops; each composite applies the format-32 table (composite_is_bounded).
  • Anything unbounded that reaches the root scope drops the glyph (graph_is_bounded).
  • A fill the table lets through paints the whole surface, in the space its paint was recorded in — which is what "unbounded" means once bounded content has given the surface its size. Previously such a fill was silently skipped, which could erase a composite's result (a source-in over a bare solid rendered nothing).

Verified. materializer 71/71, including new cases: the layer-list-with-a-bare-fill now drops the whole glyph; source-in over a bare solid keeps its ink at the source colour; clear over unbounded content measures empty; and the existing source-over/composite tests still hold. GUI colrv1_emoji green on a fresh release build + pdump, and the golden emoji sheet from #552 also passes against this binary — the rule moved no real pixels.

COLR glyph rasterization now checks paint-graph boundedness before rendering and replays certain unbounded fills across the raster surface. Synthetic tests cover bare fills and composite modes. The neomacs-image autoload prefix now recognizes symbols beginning with neomacs-.

Change: Bug fix



Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3b276

Some invalid COLR glyphs can pass the new boundedness gate and render instead of being rejected. Correct the atop rules before merging; the affected behavior is limited to these composite cases.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3b276

The changed rendering path retains raster-size limits and returns no color raster when validation fails. No introduced security vulnerability was established, but malformed-font scope handling and exact composite acceptance rules remain incompletely verified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — For a supplied font, the changed path affects color-glyph acceptance, rendering work, and returned pixels in the rendering process. The inspected path does not introduce a new identity or privileged operation; wider application exposure was not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Font-controlled graph recording precedes the new root-boundedness gate. Rejection occurs before raster allocation. Permitted bare fills are synthesized from the existing surface dimensions rather than supplying independent raster dimensions.
  • inferred — The Atop exceptions do not demonstrate a surface-containment escape: replay targets finite pixmaps, and Porter-Duff output alpha confines SourceAtop to its backdrop and DestinationAtop to its source. This counterevidence does not resolve specification conformance.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Recorder and raster state are local to each call, and explicit validation or replay failures return None without publishing a partial raster. However, the new boundedness check examines the root flag without requiring complete layer closure; existing replay rejects pop underflow but accepts leftover scopes at termination. Malformed-font reachability of that condition remains a producer-contract gap.

🔵 Needs a closer look

It is a subtle rendering-correctness change resting on non-obvious invariants (the adjacent-pop composite heuristic, measure/paint consistency) and I found one concrete format-32 gap (SourceAtop/DestinationAtop misclassification), so it warrants human review.

What changed in this PR

This PR refines COLRv1 color-glyph rendering (follow-up to #544) so that boundedness is decided for the whole paint graph rather than per individual fill. The engine now analyzes the recorded step list before painting: unbounded fills that escape to the root scope drop the glyph entirely (per the OpenType spec), while the format-32 composite table can bound a sub-graph whose own fills are unbounded — and in that permitted case, the previously-skipped unbounded fill now paints the whole surface in its recorded space, so a source-in over a bare solid keeps its ink instead of rendering nothing.

Changes:

  • Add graph_is_bounded (whole-graph scope folding over PushLayer/PopLayer with adjacent-pop composite detection) and composite_is_bounded (format-32 table) in colr.rs, gating the glyph before paint.
  • Rework the fill replay so an unbounded fill allowed through a composite paints a surface-covering rect (computed by inverse-mapping the pixmap corners into paint space), with no clip applied.
  • Update synthetic tests: the bare-layer-fill case now drops the whole glyph, plus new source-in-over-unbounded-backdrop and clear-over-unbounded cases.
File Description
crates/​neomacs-font-materializer/​src/​color_glyph/​colr.rs Adds whole-graph boundedness gate and format-32 composite table; reworks unbounded-fill replay to paint the full surface and restructures clip selection.
crates/​neomacs-font-materializer/​src/​color_glyph/​tests/​synthetic_colr_test.rs Updates the bare-fill test to expect the whole glyph to drop; adds source-in and clear composite boundedness cases.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep both atop modes under the format-32 boundedness rule.

If only one operand is bounded, these rows accept the composite. The OpenType COLR table instead requires both operands to be bounded for SourceAtop and DestinationAtop. Remove these rows so an invalid root graph falls through to the existing rejection path. The output-alpha calculation does not change the specification's boundedness rule. (learn.microsoft.com)

Boundedness was decided per fill: a fill with no shape and no clip was
skipped, and the rest of the graph still rendered.  The spec decides it
for the whole graph — a bare solid makes the definition unbounded and
"must not render" — except inside a composite, where the format-32 table
can bound a sub-graph whose own fills are unbounded (source-in needs
only one bounded operand, destination-out only a bounded backdrop).

The recorder's step list is now analyzed before painting: layer scopes
come from the composite driver's backdrop/source pushes with their
adjacent pops, each composite applies the table, and anything unbounded
that reaches the root drops the glyph.  A fill the table lets through
paints the whole surface in the space its paint was recorded in, which
is what an unbounded fill means once some bounded content has given the
surface its size.

Verified: materializer 71/71 — the layer-list case now drops the whole
glyph, a source-in over a bare solid keeps its ink, and clear over
unbounded content measures empty.
Review of the format-32 table: source-atop and destination-atop were
falling through to the both-operands rule.  Porter-Duff says their output
alpha is the backdrop's and the source's respectively, so a graph with
one bounded operand is bounded and must render — rejecting it would have
dropped valid color glyphs to the monochrome fallback.

Verified: materializer 85/85, the two new tests failing before the rows
existed.
