What

Checklist-loop iteration 4 — the stroke-width twin rows, continuing #77/#78's family. What began as the loop's expected measurement-only shape grew a patrol: the probes and the pre-landing ritual found five spellings through which a stroke-width painted silently wrong in both admissions, and each is now a named, registered, guarded refusal.

The cells (suite 206 → 217, all byte-exact)

Ten twins whose oracles are bytes-identical to existing cells — the strongest identity the corpus can state:

  • Attribute grammar closed: svg-stroke-width-px (8px), svg-stroke-width-rem (0.5rem), svg-stroke-width-calc (calc(4px + 4px)) — each shares svg-stroke-rect-centred's exact hash. 6pt and 12.5vw measure identical too (measured, not celled).
  • The CSS twin: svg-stroke-width-css (8px), -css-unitless (8), -css-calc, -css-min (min(8px, 12px)) on the same shared hash; -css-percent on svg-percent-stroke-width's.
  • Precedence and fallback: -css-over-attr (author 8px beats attribute 2) and -css-invalid-falls-back (a negative declaration ceases to exist; the attribute survives). A negative declaration alone leaves the initial 1, and context-value — no part of the standard-track grammar — drops the same way (both measured, neither celled).
  • The em basis: svg-stroke-width-em-font-sizefont-size: 8px × 1em bakes the same 8-wide oracle; a render still reading the default 16px basis paints double and fails the raster.

Percentage-inside-math resolves in Chromium (calc(10% + 0.8px) ≡ authored 7.2; min(10%, 12px)6.4, both spellings, measured) and refuses here at resolve — the pre-existing refusal had zero guarding tests; it now has an inline four-spelling guard and a register fixture.

The five silent spellings, made refusals

Class Measured wrongness Found by
rex/rch/ric/rcap absent from the basis-less unit list 1rex painted 8.0; Chromium paints the root ex-height (~7.18) verify ritual, pass 1
cqw/cqh/cqi/cqb/cqmin/cqmax absent pinned Stylo drops what Chromium resolves: 1 painted where 8 belongs verify ritual, pass 1
var() indirection --w: 1vw through a sheet painted 12.8; Chromium paints 0.64 (and substitutes var() in all four spellings, the presentation attribute included — measured) session probes
a poisoned em basis font-size: 2vw × 1em painted ~25.6; Chromium paints 1.28 session probes
CSS escapes 1\76 w is 1vw to the tokenizer, nothing to a text scan — leaked in all three ingresses session probes

The patrol (crates/websem/src/svg.rs) now: completes LENGTH_UNITS_WITHOUT_A_BASIS; refuses any var( or escape in stroke-width-bearing text; and, when a width in scope is em/rem, requires every authored font-size — attribute, font-bearing style attribute, ancestor, or sheet (all four cross-ingress combinations) — to pass poisons_font_basis. Over-refusal is the contract: a benign var(--w: 8px) refuses, because which declaration feeds a substitution is a resolver question, not a patrol question. Three register fixtures (svg-stroke-width-calc-mixed, -var, -font-basis) land beside the cells; guards cover every spelling, plus the admitted halves (fs:8px/32px × 1em; poison with no font-relative width in scope stays inert).

Ticks

Both stroke-width twin rows tick — the attribute row on the attribute cells, the CSS row on the seven CSS-spelling cells. The reading is #75's rx/ry precedent, stated in the open: remaining value-space mechanisms (vw…, cq*, var(), calc() as a row, --*) live in their own still-unticked rows, and every one of them is a registered refusal here, not a silent divergence — which is more than the precedent required. The verify ritual's tick-law audit confirmed the two flips and that no other row is owed a tick or untick.

Verification

The saved verify-rung ritual ran twice: pass 1 returned must_fix (the two unit-list classes — applied), pass 2 returned should_fix (the statement-of-record sentence outran committed evidence — applied: the absolute-unit family and CSS-spelled em are now pinned in the_stroke_width_is_a_cascaded_length, the sentence names what is baked vs contract-pinned, and the em cell was re-cut at a discriminating 8px before anything was committed). Repro agents reproduced all 28 probe pair verdicts on Chromium 149.0.7827.55 and re-verified bake/gate/status/manifest hygiene end-to-end. The stroke-cell count, stale at "30 of the 31" since #77, now reads its true 57-of-58.

Follow-up flagged (own session): the same font-size poison classes may reach the text estate's glyph metrics — out of this rung's scope, chip spawned.

…gs made refusals

Eleven new Chromium-149-baked cells (suite 206 -> 217). Ten are twins:
px, rem, calc(4px + 4px), and the CSS spelling of the value, the unitless
quirk, calc, min(), the precedence pair, and the invalid-negative fallback
all bake onto svg-stroke-rect-centred's exact oracle bytes, and the CSS
percent cell onto svg-percent-stroke-width's. The eleventh pins the em
basis to the *authored* font-size: font-size 8px x 1em shares the same
8-wide oracle, where a render still reading the default basis paints
double and fails.

The rung's real work was what the probes and the two-pass verify ritual
found: five spellings through which a stroke-width painted silently wrong
in both admissions -- rex/rch/ric/rcap missing from the basis-less unit
list (1rex painted 8.0 where Chromium paints the root ex-height), the six
container-query units (the pinned Stylo drops what Chromium resolves:
1 painted where 8 belongs), var() indirection (--w: 1vw through a sheet
painted 12.8 where Chromium paints 0.64), a poisoned em basis
(font-size: 2vw x 1em painted ~25.6 where Chromium paints 1.28), and CSS
escapes (1\76 w is 1vw to the tokenizer and nothing to a text scan, in
all three ingresses). Every one is now a named refusal with a guarding
test, across all four spellings each can arrive through; the
mixed-length-and-percentage calc() refusal that existed unguarded is
guarded and registered too. Three register fixtures land beside the
cells; over-refusal is the contract (a benign var(--w: 8px) refuses).

Records: both web-checklist stroke-width twin rows tick (the rx/ry
precedent from #75: remaining unit classes live in their own rows, all
still unticked, now as registered refusals); the n0_cli statement of
record names the admitted width grammar and every refusal class; the
stroke-cell count, stale since #77 at "30 of the 31", reads its true
57-of-58; STATUS regenerated (217 cells, register 47 -> 50 rows).

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The change expands SVG stroke-width cascade handling, adds refusals for unsupported units and indirection, and adds contract, corpus, fixture, and documentation coverage.

Changes

Stroke-width handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expand stroke-width patrols
crates/websem/src/svg.rs
The patrol now checks unsupported units, CSS escapes, var(), stylesheet declarations, and font-size bases before admitting em and rem.
Validate cascade and refusals
crates/websem/tests/strokes_contract.rs, crates/websem/tests/unsupported_corpus.rs
Tests cover admitted units and calculations, cascade fallback, unsupported font bases, var(), mixed calculations, and CSS escapes.
Update fixtures and capability records
fixtures/web-first/*, crates/n0_cli/README.md, docs/wg/consolidation/web-checklist.md
Fixture metadata, refusal records, README documentation, and checklist status now reflect the expanded coverage.

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

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 43a52

The PR expands stroke-width support and refusal handling, but it can currently reject or degrade valid SVGs when unrelated style declarations are present, and its conformance claims may need to wait for rule ratification. These concrete merge-readiness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Inspect only font-size and font declaration values.

Both sites pass a complete style attribute to poisons_font_basis when it merely contains "font". For example, style="font-weight: 2vw; stroke-width: 1em" has no font-size basis in vw, but it fails as UnsupportedStroke or creates a sheet-level degradation. Parse the declarations first, then inspect only font-size and font values.

Defer conformance reporting until FLIP ratification.
