What this changes

Fixes #3591. A background added to a page that already has one is now painted over the old one. Every mark behind the page content used to go in at the start of /Contents, so the new background landed under the old one. Behind the content, backgrounds now come first, in the order added, and then behind-content watermarks, so a watermark added after a background no longer disappears either. On a page with no content of its own, a watermark added behind still goes under one already on top.

How you verified it

• cargo fmt --check
• clippy with -D warnings on pdfcraft-edit
• cargo test -p pdfcraft-edit (198 passed), plus the background, watermark and mark tests in pdfcraft-engine and pdfcraft-automation

The three new tests in crates/edit/src/tests.rs each fail without the fix. The first two fail on main, with the marks in the order [green, blue, content] and [green, watermark, blue, content]. The third, a_watermark_behind_goes_under_one_on_top_of_a_page_without_content, covers the case CodeRabbit found in the first commit. I also checked end to end with pdfcraft-cli run --script: a second Add now renders the new colour, and a behind-content watermark added after a background is visible.

Never-crash

• No new unwrap/expect/panic!/unreachable!/todo! outside tests
• No indexing or slicing with input-derived positions (the insert position is at most the list length)
• No unsafe

Provenance

• No asset from an Adobe product
• No font files
• No GPL/AGPL code copied in
• Behaviour comes from the specification or black-box observation, not from reading another implementation's source

Anything a reviewer should look at first

The question from the issue: should Add also remove the existing background, the way Update does? This PR only fixes the order, so after a second Add the old fill is still in the file, hidden under the new one. If you want Add to replace, that's a small follow-up in add_background.

#2633 and #2815 change background placement in the same function. I'll rebase on whichever lands first.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved page layering so backgrounds render in insertion order behind page content.
  • Ensured behind-content watermarks remain visible above backgrounds while staying below on-top watermarks.
  • Corrected watermark placement on pages with and without existing content.

• Documentation

  • Documented the ordering rules for backgrounds and behind-page marks.
  • Added coverage for background and watermark layering scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

The change updates how backgrounds and behind-content watermarks are ordered when placed on a page. It adjusts insertion and isolation positions, adds regression tests for paint order, and records the behavior in the roadmap.

Changes: Behind-mark ordering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Placement logic and regression coverage crates/edit/src/lib.rs, crates/edit/src/tests.rs, ROADMAP.md	place_tagged counts leading background and watermark streams and uses that boundary for insertion and unknown isolation. Regression tests verify background order, background-to-watermark order, and watermark order without original content. The roadmap records the behavior.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — crates (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
• observed — ROADMAP.md (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in ROADMAP.md: Added a progress-log entry for M7 documenting ordered background painting and subsequent behind-content watermark painting, plus synthetic regression coverage.
• observed — Modified behavior in crates/edit/src/lib.rs: Updated the storage documentation to state that behind-page marks are inserted after existing backgrounds at the start of /Contents, rather than prepended.
• observed — Modified behavior in crates/edit/src/lib.rs: Updated the place documentation to describe behind-mark placement after existing leading marks.
• observed — Modified behavior in crates/edit/src/lib.rs: place_tagged now counts the leading background and watermark streams before determining placement and fallback isolation boundaries.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the behavior change, linked issue, verification steps, regression tests, safety checks, scope, and reviewer focus. Some template sections are omitted, but they appear non-critical or not applicable to this change.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#3591] requires a changed background color to become visible. add_background now places a new background after existing backgrounds and before page content. The regression test a_second_background_is_drawn_over_the_first verifies blue then green stream order. The old background remains in the file, but it is no longer visibly active. The tests also cover the linked ordering interactions with behind-content watermarks.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within background and behind-content mark ordering. The place_tagged implementation change and the three regression tests support the stated behavior. The ROADMAP.md entry documents the same behavior. No unrelated implementation or test change is identified.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 87.50% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 8 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

- Around line 521-523: Update the leading-mark scan using behind_kinds and
behind_marks so a Watermark is counted as a leading behind mark only when its
stored metadata indicates behind: true; continue recognizing backgrounds as
behind marks and preserve the existing ordering for valid leading marks. Ensure
an on-top watermark remains outside the behind-mark prefix so later behind
watermarks are inserted before it.
