Part of #1379, a follow-up to #1494 (a publication legend in up to three columns). It codes the proposal posted on #1379 (comment). No maintainer has answered it yet, so this is a draft: it changes what layout.publication draws and returns by default, which docs/maintaining.md puts with the changes that need two maintainers. I'd like your view before it goes further.

The problem

#1494 picks the fewest columns that fit the largest rectangle the map leaves free. When there is no such rectangle, the legend still lands on the data, however many columns it takes, and the other surrounds come with a "move by hand" warning.

What changes

The move, the veil and the scale step (1, 3 and 4) run only when no shape of the legend fits. Two changes reach every map: the one-colour context (2) and the cost of a cut legend (6). In the 18 maps below, every one where a shape fits comes out pixel for pixel as on 0.6.0.

1. The map moves within the frame. The frame usually shows more than the extent asked for. Moving the map toward one edge, with the extent still inside, joins the slack from both sides into one band. The answer gives the move as mapShift, in mm right and down, and a warning gives its distance and side.
2. A one-colour fill running past the frame is context. A polygon layer in one colour with no labels whose extent runs on past the frame, beside a layer drawn by classes or a raster, doesn't count as what the map draws, in the same way feat(layout): a legend in up to three columns, and publication layouts use them for long legends (#1379) #1494 sets aside layers that only outline. A surround can then sit on the neighbouring states. A one-colour layer inside the frame, such as a study area, still counts.
3. On a continuous map with a long legend, what lies outside the extent is veiled. It gets a white veil at about 60% opacity, with an outline around the extent, and counts as free. The veil stops at the graticule's labels, so they stay as dark as on an unveiled map; the strip of map under them stays unveiled. The surrounds then go there as one group: the locator with the north arrow beside it, the scale bar under them, and the legend beside or under that, depending on the band's shape. The answer gives "veiled": true and "arrangement": "veil", plus a warning that says what is veiled and how to turn it off.
4. A sheet may go to a smaller scale under the veil. When the veil at the asked scale still leaves too little room, a sheet may go to up to half that scale (steps of 1.25, 1.5 and 2), and a warning gives the scale drawn. Figures keep theirs: their size is fixed, and a smaller scale costs them the most.
5. "veil": false keeps the map unveiled and at its scale. The map can still move aside.
6. A legend cut short of its neighbours costs more than any move, so an arrangement that keeps all its rows wins, also by moving the legend itself.

The veil is four ordinary rectangles (Veil Above, Below, Left, Right) and an outline, so it needs nothing new in the renderer or the file format and can be restyled or deleted by hand. The surrounds stay ordinary layout elements.

Results

Geology of Minas Gerais (6 to 25 classes, IBGE BDiA), the states of Brazil and of the Northeast, in an Albers projection centred on each, A4/A3 and a two-column figure: 18 maps. "Before" is RustGIS 0.6.0, which has #1494; the layout changes on main since then (#1682, #1585) don't touch these maps.

• 10 maps come out pixel for pixel the same: every one where a shape of the legend fits, including all the Northeast maps and two of the Brazil maps. These are the maps I have; they show the two changes that reach every map leave these alone, not that they leave every map alone.
• 8 change, all of them maps where no shape fit:

Choices in this PR

• On by default, and only when nothing else fits. What the move and the veil replace is a legend over the data.
• The cut cost and the one-colour context reach every map. A cut legend loses rows, which the result warns about, so an arrangement that keeps them should win, also by moving another surround. The one-colour context only frees the neighbours' area.
• "Continuous" is measured, not asked for: drawn data in at least 80% of the extent and 30% of the rest of the frame, with the legend taller than a quarter of the frame. I chose those thresholds and have only tried them on these maps.
• The veil is said. It covers what the map draws outside the extent, so a warning names it and "veil": false, as AGENTS.md's "Never silent" asks. The proposal's table showed no warning there.
• "veil": false turns off the veil and the scale step, not the move aside. The move changes where the map sits, not what it draws, and the extent stays whole. The proposal said "untouched"; if you'd rather the switch stop the move too, it's one condition.
• One PR, not the two the proposal named. The move and the veil share one search (each pass tries the moves, with and without the veil), so splitting them would mean writing that loop twice. The diff adds about 530 lines, about a third of them tests and docs. I can still split it if you prefer: the first PR would have the move, the one-colour context and the cut cost; the second the veil, the grouped surrounds, the scale step and "veil".

Limits

• The extent's outline is its bounding box in the map's projection, so it can be a little larger than the extent.
• The locator's red box shows the whole frame, not the extent.
• The legend still lists the context layer ("Outros estados"). The legend's "exclude" removes it by hand.
• The search draws the map once more per scale it tries, at most four times, wide enough for every move; each move's coverage is cut from that drawing. On the geology of Minas Gerais (25 multipolygons, a 14 MB GeoJSON), continuous extent, A4 landscape, a dev build of rustgis-cli, layout.publication takes about 0.7 s with the veil and 0.5 s with "veil": false; with the same layers read in place ("stream": true), 0.9 s and 0.83 s. Each drawing's view, wider than the frame, is read for streamed layers first, the asked scale included, and the command waits for that read. Like main, it runs on the UI thread, with no Cancel. A scale at which a layer is still reading, or a smaller one at which a legend picture is still loading or the legend can't be measured (a source that can't be read through), isn't tried, and the result says so.
• A frame is drawn at its own centre's ground scale, which a move changes where the projection stretches (Web Mercator's, with the latitude; a conic's, a little). Each move places the extent at the moved centre's scale, a move that leaves it out of its margins there isn't made, and a move whose scale would shift a corner of the frame by more than one cell of the coverage grid (about 0.7 mm on A4) has its coverage drawn on its own, once, rather than cut from the wide drawing. On the Minas Gerais map in Web Mercator that keeps layout.publication at about 0.65 s; the Albers maps never take that path.
• A one-colour layer larger than the frame still counts as context, so a surround can sit on it with no warning. Whether a layer runs past the frame is judged on the frame asked for, also for the moves.
• The strips under the graticule's labels stay unveiled, a band of the map's full colours around the veil; the warning says so. Veiling them and drawing the labels over the veil would need the graticule as an element of its own.
• On the 18-class map the legend's box comes within a few millimetres of the state's western tip, and the scale bar sits between the locator and the legend, clear of both.
• On the Brazil portrait map, the locator moved from the top left to the middle left, over the neighbouring countries (the basemap, which isn't counted).
• Tried through rustgis-cli and tests only, not in a window.

Tests

• a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room: a short legend keeps the map centred; a long one moves it sideways into one column; a map running past the extent is veiled, at the asked scale when a band is wide enough and at a smaller one when not; the veil's warning comes only with the veil; "veil": false gives no veil and the asked scale; "veil": "no" is refused; "moved" names the surrounds grouped in the veil's band; on veiled figures the extent's outline and the veil stay off the graticule's labels.
• a_publication_says_a_smaller_scale_whose_legend_cant_be_measured: a smaller scale whose legend can't be measured (a Shapefile drawn by classes, shown only there, whose files are gone) isn't tried, and the warning says so and why.
• a_publication_map_moved_off_its_latitude_draws_the_extent_where_it_was_placed: in Web Mercator at 57–61°N and at 23–19°S, a map moved about 85 mm up or down draws the extent whole in the frame and under its outline.
• a_publication_reads_streamed_layers_for_the_move_searchs_wide_drawing: in Web Mercator at 60°N, a streamed point the frame's own read leaves out, inside the wide drawing, is read before the search draws it.
• a_veil_panel_groups_the_surrounds_by_the_bands_shape: the group goes side by side in a wide band, stacked in a tall one, nowhere when it doesn't fit.
• frame_coverage_leaves_out_one_colour_fills_beside_classes: a one-colour layer running past the frame is context, one inside it is counted; and plain_fill cases in the outline test.
• a_moved_frames_coverage_is_cut_from_the_wide_one: a moved frame's coverage cut from the wide drawing matches the moved frame drawn on its own.

cargo fmt and cargo clippy -D warnings are clean, and the map, render and engine tests pass locally, except two that fail on this PC whatever the branch: gdal_formats_open_when_gdal_is_installed, whose GDAL is older than the 3.8 the test asks for, and reload::wrong_geometry_missing_file_and_missing_chosen_table_leave_the_layer_unchanged, which looks for "file" in an error that a Portuguese Windows words as "arquivo".

  • Layout results report map shifts and veiling, including when surrounds are grouped in the veil area.
  • Veil and surround elements can be edited. If shifting or veiling cannot make room, layouts use a centered, unveiled fallback.
• Improvements
  • Legend placement better accounts for visible map content and coverage.
• Documentation
  • Updated the layout guide with details on veiling, coverage, legend placement, and scale behavior.

Walkthrough

Publication layouts now use frame coverage to assess legend placement. When the legend does not fit, the layout can shift the map and, under specified coverage conditions, veil areas outside the requested extent. Results include the map shift, veil state, and effective arrangement.

Changes: Publication layout

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Frame coverage judgment crates/render/src/layout.rs	Coverage can be judged against a separate frame size. Certain one-colour polygon fills that extend beyond the judged frame are excluded when other rendered content is present.
Map shifting and veil placement crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs	When the legend does not fit, the layout tries centered and shifted placements. Sheet layouts can also try larger scales. If the veiling conditions are met, surrounds can be grouped in a veil band. The result reports mapShift, veiled, and the effective arrangement.
Placement validation and documentation crates/engine/src/tests.rs, docs/user-guide/layouts.md	Tests cover coverage judgment, shifted extents, veil placement, streamed-layer reads, and figure margins. The user guide describes the coverage rules and shift-and-veil behavior.

[github-actions]

Never hold the window (AGENTS.md), performance. layout.publication runs through app.run on the UI thread (crates/ui-egui/src/ribbon.rs:1053), and frame_coverage draws the whole map through crate::render with no control::check, so none of these renders can be cancelled. This loop adds up to 5 passes × 5 places of extra full-map renders (up to 24 more), where the old code did one. The PR body says the cost is unmeasured. Please either move the search onto a background path with Cancel and progress, or measure it on a heavy layer and document the result in the doc comment. Confidence: high that the renders are uncancellable. Severity depends on layer weight.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Measured on the geology of Minas Gerais (25 multipolygons, a 14 MB GeoJSON), continuous extent, A4 landscape, dev build of rustgis-cli. Each coverage drawing took about 0.2 s, and layout.publication with the veil took 2.5 s in all.

Fixed in c15c1d8. A move is a translation on the page, so each scale is now drawn once, wide enough for every move, and each move's coverage is cut from that drawing (crop_cells). The search now draws at most four more times, one per scale, instead of 24. The same map takes 0.68 s with the veil and 0.51 s with "veil": false. The 18 maps in the description come out pixel for pixel as before this round. a_moved_frames_coverage_is_cut_from_the_wide_one checks that the cut matches the moved frame drawn on its own.

layout.publication still runs on the UI thread, with no Cancel, as on main. Moving the whole command to a background path is a change of its own, so I left it out of this PR and named it in the description's limits.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Round 2: no change in this thread. Since c15c1d8 the description says at most four more drawings (one per scale), with the timings measured on the 14 MB map; it no longer says 24. The command itself still runs on the UI thread, with no Cancel, as on main.

[github-actions]

Bug (medium confidence, not run). legend_at comes from best and is not updated by the veil branch above (lines 2126–2141). If best dropped the legend (legend_at is None) but grouped then places it in the veil band, the legend is drawn at legend_place and this check still pushes "the frame leaves the legend no room … so it is left out". The output then both draws the legend and says it was left out. A veil test where the corner arrangement drops the legend but the band takes it would show this. The fix is to carry the veil's legend placement into legend_at, or to base the warning on whether a legend rect was actually added.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Checked in the code: that symptom can't happen. When best leaves the legend out, lay_out puts no legend entry in spots, and the veil branch only rewrote the entries already there. So the legend wasn't drawn, and the warning was true.

There was a real defect next to it, though: the group was laid out with room for a legend that then wasn't drawn. Fixed in c15c1d8. The veil branch now places each grouped surround and adds the legend when the corners left it out. The "left out" warning now checks whether a legend was placed, not best's corner.

I couldn't build a real map that reaches this case. Eight figure and locator combinations on the continuous extent never veil, because their bands are too small for the group. So there's no test for it.

[github-actions]

Bug (medium-low confidence). The search at lines 1932–1960 checks grouped(clip, n, &known) against the sizes measured before the scale step. Here grouped runs again against sizes, which the scale step (around line 1966–1996 legend_sizes_mm(..., render_scale, ...)) may have re-measured at the smaller scale. If the row sizes change, grouped(..., legend_cols - 1, ...) can return None. The if let then falls through and the output still says "veiled": true and draws the veil bands, but the surrounds stay at their corner spots, which can lie over the extent. The search and the final placement should use the same sizes, or the None case should drop the veil.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Fixed in c15c1d8: the search and the final placement now use the same sizes. The search measures the legend once per scale it tries, uses those sizes for the room and for the group, and keeps the chosen pass's sizes for the layout. Before, it measured once afterwards, at the chosen move. The final grouping now searches from one column up with those same sizes, band and surrounds, so it finds the group the search found.

The scale-step case in a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room checks that arrangement is "veil" exactly when veiled is true. I didn't reproduce the mismatch before the fix: it needs a smaller scale that draws a class the asked scale doesn't. This change removes the path to it.

[github-actions]

Behaviour change outside the no-fit path (medium confidence). The PR says "a map where one fits comes out as it does on main", but this cost change applies to every arrangement comparison. On main a cut legend cost 10 × lost. Now it costs fw·fh/2 + 10 × lost. A map where a legend fits and the corner arrangement cuts it slightly can now lose to an arrangement that moves another surround, which picks a different arrangement than before. The one-colour plain_fill change in frame_coverage also alters the free room on maps where a shape already fits, so fits can pick fewer columns there. Please either gate both changes on the no-fit path, or name the maps that change in the PR and show before/after for them.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Right, the claim was too broad. Two changes reach every map: the cost of a cut legend and the one-colour context. I kept both and corrected the description. The move, the veil and the scale step run only when nothing fits; these two reach every map.

• The cut cost. A cut legend loses rows, which the result warns about. Preferring an arrangement that keeps them, even by moving another surround, is the point of the change.
• The one-colour context is now narrower (see the plain_fill thread): it only covers a layer that runs on past the frame.

I reran the 18 maps after this round. Every one where a shape fits still comes out pixel for pixel as on 0.6.0. Those are the maps I have, so they show these cases come out the same, not every map. The description now says so.

[github-actions]

Design risk (low-medium confidence). plain_fill treats any unlabelled one-colour polygon layer as context whenever some other visible layer is classed or a raster. That includes the user's main data. A one-colour study-area or parcel layer drawn over a DEM or a classed layer gets left out of frame_coverage, so the legend and the surrounds can sit on top of it with no warning. The PR's "neighbouring states" case would be covered by a narrower test, for example a layer whose features lie outside the extent, or a layer the user has marked as context. At minimum, add a test for the main-data case, or call it out in the docs.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Agreed, it was too broad. In c15c1d8, a one-colour layer counts as context only when its extent runs on past the frame, as neighbouring states do. A study area or parcel layer inside the frame is what the map shows again.

frame_coverage_leaves_out_one_colour_fills_beside_classes now covers that case: a small one-colour square inside the frame is counted, beside a larger one that runs past it and isn't. A one-colour layer larger than the frame still counts as context, so a surround can sit on it with no warning. The description lists that as a limit, and the docs say "that run on past the frame".

[github-actions]

Code review

I read the full diff (about 625 lines), the staged metadata and stats, and the surrounding code that the veil path depends on. I did not build or run the tests, because this environment has no shell. The prior-review list is empty, so nothing was skipped as already raised. Five inline comments are posted.

Bugs

• Legend warning contradicts the drawn legend (medium confidence). In the veil branch, legend_at stays as best chose it. If best dropped the legend but the veil band takes it, the legend is drawn and the "left out" warning is still pushed. crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2167
• Veil can be reported without the grouping (medium-low confidence). The search checks grouped against sizes measured before the scale step. The final placement reruns it against sizes re-measured at the smaller scale. If that returns None, the output still says "veiled": true with no grouping. crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2127

Security

• None found.

Performance

• Uncancellable full-map renders on the UI thread (high confidence on the facts, severity depends on layer weight). layout.publication runs on the UI thread through app.run, and frame_coverage has no cancellation check. The search adds up to 24 full-map renders where the old code did one. This goes against the "Never hold the window" rule in AGENTS.md. The PR body already says this cost is unmeasured. crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:1929

Quality

• Some of the notes below are about the size of the change and the docs, not defects:
  • publication has grown by roughly 200 lines of nested closures. Splitting out the veil search would make it reviewable.
  • The docs/user-guide/layouts.md paragraph around line 621 is one very long unwrapped line.
  • moved.clear() in the veil branch drops the record of surrounds that were relocated. The veil warning covers this, so it is minor.
  • Under AGENTS.md these can wait for the release quality pass.

AGENTS.md

• The "maps where a shape fits are unchanged" claim does not hold for all code paths (medium confidence). The cut cost change at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2070 applies to every arrangement comparison, not just the no-fit path. The one-colour plain_fill change in frame_coverage also changes free room on maps where a shape already fits, and that can change the column count. The PR's own tests and screenshots cover only the 18 maps it lists.
• One-colour main data is excluded from coverage (low-medium confidence). plain_fill treats an unlabelled one-colour polygon layer as context whenever another layer is classed or raster. A one-colour study-area layer over a DEM is therefore left out, and the surrounds can sit on it without a warning. crates/render/src/layout.rs:2068
• The new tests (a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room, a_veil_panel_groups_the_surrounds_by_the_bands_shape, frame_coverage_leaves_out_one_colour_fills_beside_classes) cover the main paths. None covers the dropped-legend veil case in the first bug, or the main-data case above.

Confidence: findings above are rated individually. The PR is a draft and asks for a maintainer view, so the bugs are worth fixing before it moves on.

[elpidioassinaturas]

On the review's quality notes, all in c15c1d8 or answered here:

• layouts.md: the long paragraph is rewrapped at 100 columns.
• publication's size: this round made it smaller, not larger. The search now draws once per scale and cuts each move from that drawing, and the re-measuring after the loop is gone. Moving the search out into a function of its own would take about a dozen of publication's values and closures as arguments (the frame, the margins, whole, free_room, grouped, the coverage). I'd rather do that once a maintainer has said whether the veil stays, so a split doesn't have to be redone.
• moved.clear() in the veil branch: kept. Under the veil every surround is placed in the group, not moved from a corner, and the veil's warning says so.

The five line threads are answered: four were fixed, and in the fifth the reported symptom couldn't happen, but a defect next to it was fixed.

[github-actions]

Never silent (AGENTS.md), medium confidence. The map can now move off its asked centre (mapShift in the answer) with no warning. The veil and the scale step both warn, but a move only shows up as a number in the JSON, so a user who sees the map shifted in the app gets no notice. Suggest one notice for the move, next to the scale warning:

	warnings.push(format!("the map is drawn at 1:{scale:.0}, not 1:{asked_scale:.0}, to leave the legend room"));
	if scale != asked_scale {
	warnings.push(format!("the map is drawn at 1:{scale:.0}, not 1:{asked_scale:.0}, to leave the legend room"));

and, after that block, a notice for the shift (dx positive is east, dy positive is south, both in mm):

if map_shift != (0.0, 0.0) {
    warnings.push(format!(
        "the map is moved {:.1} mm east and {:.1} mm south (\"mapShift\", negative for west and north), to leave the legend room",
        map_shift.0, map_shift.1
    ));
}

A test should check that a moved map gives this notice and a centred one gives none.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Confirmed in the code: a move changes what the frame shows past the extent, and it only showed up as mapShift. Fixed in 7fd85a8. A move now gives a notice: "the map is moved 47 mm right in its frame ("mapShift"), the extent still whole, for the legend's room". The side is right, left, up or down, since a move is along one axis. The docs now give mapShift's directions (right and down).

a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room checks that a moved map gives the notice with its distance and side, and that a centred one gives none. This also showed up in publication_layouts_fit_their_pages: its A4 portrait map moves 16 mm down, which was silent before, and that test now accepts the move's notice. Of the 18 maps in the description, the 5 that move now say so; the images are unchanged.

[github-actions]

Possible silent undersizing, low confidence. At the asked scale, the legend path checks sync_sources' return value and tile_legends_pending, and falls back to a fixed legend size with a warning. This branch, which measures the legend at a smaller scale, drops the return value and skips the pending check. If a layer is still reading or a WMS legend is still loading, legend_sizes_mm may list only the classes it has, and the chosen legend box is then laid out with no warning. Suggest either the same checks here (with a continue to skip that scale), or a comment saying why they don't apply at a smaller scale.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Confirmed in the code. At the asked scale, a read still running or a legend picture still loading gives the legend a fixed size and stops the search (sizes is None); at a smaller scale, both were ignored. Fixed in 7fd85a8. When either holds at a smaller scale, that scale is neither tried nor drawn, and the result says "the map isn't tried at 1:N for the legend's room: a layer there is still reading, or a legend picture still loading".

Not reproduced, and so there's no test: it needs a streamed layer whose read at the wider view outlasts sync_sources' wait.

Code review

Bugs

• Possible silent undersizing of the legend when a smaller scale is tried (crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:1957). The sync_sources result and tile_legends_pending are not checked here, unlike the asked-scale path. Low confidence; inline comment posted.
• The earlier "legend_at" concern (veiled legend still warned as left out) looks fixed: the warning now checks spots. The earlier "grouped vs. re-measured sizes" concern also looks fixed, since the search and final placement use the same chosen sizes. I did not run the code, so this is from reading only.

Security

• None found in the changed code. Inputs are validated (publication_veil rejects non-bool), and the new indexing is guarded by get/min/clamp or by loop bounds.

Performance

• The veil search can run up to four extra wide frame draws (asked scale, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0), plus legend measurements, on the UI thread with no Cancel. The code comment says "at most four times"; the PR body's "up to 24" is now too high. Already raised in an existing thread, and the problem remains. Left alone.

Quality

• Nit, left for the release quality pass: in the final placement block, if let Some(ElementKind::MapFrame { center: at, ... }) shadows the at corner closure.

AGENTS.md

• Never silent, medium confidence: a map shifted by mapShift gets no warning. The veil and scale steps do warn. Inline comment posted at layout.rs:2011 with a suggested notice and a test idea.
• The render-side plain_fill change still lacks a notice or narrower test for the main-data case. Already raised, left alone.

Already raised, left alone (4): the arrangement cost change applying outside the no-fit path (layout.rs:2108), the UI-thread renders without Cancel (layout.rs:1929), the plain_fill design risk (render/src/layout.rs:2068), and the earlier "legend_at" and "grouped vs. sizes" threads, which the head appears to have addressed. The first and last of these may still be worth a reply from the author.

Not verified: I could not build, run tests, or run cargo fmt/clippy (no shell in this session). The "fmt clean" claim in the PR body is unchecked.

Bug (medium-low confidence, about 50%, from reading the arithmetic; not run). The move bound uses the sum of both margins. The centred frame puts the extent's middle at fw/2, so with a slack of (fw - left - right - W)/2 the extent's edges end up at (left + right)/2 and fw - (left + right)/2. When the margins are unequal, that goes past the area's own edge: left is e + 9 mm when the left edge carries labels and right is e, so a move towards that side puts the extent's left edge 4.5 mm into the label room. With "veil" on, that strip is then white-veiled, which can cover part of the graticule labels. Suggested fix: one slack per direction, east = fw/2 - right - W/2 and west = fw/2 - left - W/2, both clamped at 0, and wide built from the two sums, so each move stays within the area's own edges. A test with a labelled left edge only, asserting the extent's edges stay inside area, would cover it.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Reproduced, and fixed in 5c78096. A figure labels only its left and bottom edges, so its margins differ: left is e + 9 and right is e, while bottom is e + 6 and top is e. A new case in a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room failed on 7fd85a8: in a two-column figure the map moved 16 mm down, and the extent's outline ended about 3 mm inside the bottom labels' room, as your arithmetic gives (half of 6).

The search now has one limit per direction: how far the centred extent can go each way and stay inside that side's own margin. The wide drawing is centred like the frame, so it reaches the farther of the two ways on each axis, and each move is cut from it at its own distance. The case lays out two-column and thesis-half figures, and in each one that's veiled it checks that the extent's outline stays clear of the left and bottom labels.

Sheets label all four edges, with equal margins on each axis, so they don't change. Of the 18 maps in the description, one changed: the two-column figure of Brazil. No shape of its legend fit there before either, but the shared limit left no move that freed one. Now the map moves 15 mm right, which is said, and its two columns come off São Paulo, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. The description's table has it.

[github-actions]

AGENTS.md, re-raised with new content. The earlier thread (answered by the author) left this for a separate PR and named it only in the PR description. AGENTS.md asks a command that must run on the UI thread to say why in its doc comment. layout.publication (fn publication, line 966, whose doc comment doesn't say this) still runs there, and this PR adds up to four more full-map renders per call, with no Cancel. Suggest one doc line above fn publication stating that it runs on the UI thread, why, and that the extra renders are bounded at four. Confidence: high that the doc comment lacks it.

[elpidioassinaturas]

I chose the doc line and the measurement over a Cancel check in frame_coverage. On this path, a check would have nothing to answer: layout.publication runs through app.run on the UI thread, where there's no Cancel to press. A check there would only be real once the command moves to a background path with progress, and that is a change to the whole command, not to this search.

So, in 5c78096, fn publication's doc comment now says what AGENTS.md asks. It runs on the UI thread with no Cancel, as on main before the veil. It adds a layout (and may add a locator map) to the project the window shows. Its work is a bounded number of coarse drawings of the map: once to place the surrounds, and at most four more in the search, one per scale tried.

Measured on the 14 MB Minas Gerais geology map, continuous extent, A4 landscape, dev build: the whole command takes about 0.7 s with the veil and 0.5 s with "veil": false. The same map took 0.2 s on the 0.6.0 release build, which is a different build, so that's only a rough comparison.

You're right that #1726 doesn't cover this. If you'd like layout.publication moved to a background path with Cancel, I'd open that as an issue of its own.

[github-actions]

Code review

Bugs

• The move bound in slack_x uses the sum of both margins. With unequal margins (only the left edge labelled, so left = e + 9 mm and right = e), a move towards the labelled side puts the extent's edge about 4.5 mm into the graticule-label room. With "veil" on, that strip is white-veiled and can cover labels. Inline comment posted at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:1940. Confidence: medium-low (about 50%), from reading the arithmetic; not run.

Security

• None found in the changed code. The new veil parameter is parsed with a strict bool check, and crop_cells and veil_panel have no indexing that can panic on junk input.

Performance

• Already raised, and the author measured it (0.68 s with the veil, 0.51 s without, on the Minas Gerais geology). Left alone. The remaining concern is UI-thread blocking without Cancel, which the next finding covers.

Quality

• None new beyond the AGENTS.md item below.

AGENTS.md

• layout.publication still runs on the UI thread and this PR adds up to four full-map renders per call. AGENTS.md asks such a command to say why in its doc comment, and the doc comment doesn't. Re-raised with new content, since the earlier thread was answered only in the PR description. Inline comment posted at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:1005 (anchored there because line 966 isn't in the diff). Confidence: high that the doc comment lacks it.

Already raised, left alone: 9 earlier concerns. Those cover the cut-legend cost reaching every map, the unannounced mapShift, UI-thread render cost, the legend_at and grouping mismatch, the plain_fill scope, and the unchecked sizes at a smaller scale. The author's answers cover them, and I checked the current code for each.

Bug (medium-low confidence, about 55%). The context test (past_the_frame) uses frame, which is the view that frame_coverage was given. The move search calls this with the wide drawing (wide.0 × wide.1, crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs around 1997), so for a moved frame a one-colour neighbour is judged against the wide frame, not the frame the user sees. A neighbour that runs past the moved frame but not past the wide one is counted as drawn, and the cut coverage then disagrees with the frame drawn alone.

Nothing catches this: the test a_moved_frames_coverage_is_cut_from_the_wide_one uses one black L-shape with no context layer, and frame_coverage_leaves_out_one_colour_fills_beside_classes tests only the centred frame. The result is that the free room at a moved position is underestimated. Fix: decide the context set once, against the nominal frame, and pass it into the drawing (or a variant of frame_coverage that takes the context frame), so every cut uses the same set. Add a test with a neighbour that runs past the moved frame but not the wide one.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Confirmed in the code, and fixed in e578770. frame_coverage_judged_on draws one frame and judges which one-colour layers run on past the frame on another frame with the same centre. The search draws the wide frame and judges on the frame asked for, so every move's cut leaves out the same layers. frame_coverage keeps its signature and judges on itself.

frame_coverage_leaves_out_one_colour_fills_beside_classes now has your case. A neighbour runs past the frame but not past a drawing three times as wide. Judged on the frame, it's context; judged on the drawing, it's counted.

The judgement is made on the centred frame, not on each moved one. A layer that runs past the centred frame but fits inside a moved one is still context there. I didn't reproduce the original effect on a whole map, and none of the 18 maps changed because of this part.

[github-actions]

AGENTS.md, re-raised with new content (medium confidence). The doc line now exists, so the earlier thread's request is met in form. But the reason it gives ("its work is a bounded number of coarse drawings... not a loop over files or requests") does not show that the command must run on the UI thread. Each drawing scales with the map's features, and this PR raises the stall on heavy layers from one drawing to up to five. The author's measurement (0.7 s on a 14 MB map) shows the cost is real and grows with the input. Either move the search onto a background path with Cancel, or state the real reason it cannot move, and say what a heavy input costs.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Agreed, the first wording gave the cost, not the reason. In e578770 the doc comment says why: none of the background paths in AGENTS.md (tools, exports, commands that make a raster, models and scripts on a copy) takes a command that adds a layout, and a locator map, to the project yet. It also says the cost grows with the map's features. The surrounds draw the frame once, and the search adds at most four drawings: about 0.7 s on the 14 MB geology map, against 0.2 s before the search.

Moving layout.publication itself onto a background path, with progress and Cancel, would change the whole command, which runs on the UI thread on main too. I'd keep that out of this PR and open it as an issue of its own if you agree.

[github-actions]

Bug (medium-high confidence). The veil bands run to the frame's edges (fx, fy, fw, fh), so they also cover the graticule's label strips (LABEL_ROOM_SIDE / LABEL_ROOM_END, inside the frame). draw_grid draws those labels into the frame's own pixmap (crates/render/src/layout.rs:251), and the veil elements are added after the frame, so on a veiled map the left and bottom labels sit under 60% white. This is not fixed by the per-side move bound: the strip is outside the extent, so it is veiled whatever the move.

Suggested fix: keep the veil inside the label-free area, so the labels stay on top of the map. The cost is that a thin strip of map data behind the labels stays unveiled, which the warning should then say.

A test with a labelled left edge should assert that the label strip is not veiled, or that the labels are drawn after the veil.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Reproduced and fixed in e578770. In the exported PNG of the continuous-extent map, the labels under the veil ("49°W", "48°W", "18°S") came out light grey; with "veil": false they were black. The figure case in a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room now checks that no veil band reaches into the left or bottom label room. It failed on 5c78096 with "Veil Above over the labels".

The veil and the extent's outline now stop at the label-free area, as you suggested. The strips under the labels stay unveiled, and both the warning and the docs say so. The test also turned up a 0.05 mm band from rounding (the frame came out at 191 mm against an fh of 191.05), so bands thinner than half a millimetre are left out.

Only the two veiled maps among the 18 change, and the description has their new captures. The labels are dark again, and a band of the map's full colours now runs around the veil. Veiling that band too and drawing the labels over the veil would need the graticule as an element of its own, which I left out.

[github-actions]

Code review

Bugs

• Veil covers graticule labels (medium-high confidence). The veil bands run to the frame edges, so they sit over the label strips inside the frame. Graticule labels are drawn into the frame's own pixmap, and the veil elements are composited after it, so on a veiled map the left and bottom labels are washed out at about 60% white. Posted inline with a suggestion to clip the veil to area. That keeps labels readable but leaves a thin strip of map data unveiled, which the warning should then say.
• Moved-frame context uses the wide drawing (medium-low, about 55%). frame_coverage judges one-colour context against the frame it is handed. The move search hands it the wide drawing, so a neighbour that runs past the moved frame but not the wide one is counted, and free room at moved positions is underestimated. No test covers this. Posted inline.

Security

• None found. The new code takes no external input beyond the validated veil flag, and the new paths use get, min, and clamp, with no unwrap, expect, or unsafe.

Performance

• The UI-thread concern is re-raised below under AGENTS.md. I found no separate performance issue. The per-scale drawing cache is keyed correctly, and the crop and wide-drawing sizes stay under the 1024 clamp.

Quality

• Nothing worth posting in this round. The publication function grows by about 300 lines of nested search. Per AGENTS.md that is for the release quality pass.

AGENTS.md

• Doc comment on the UI thread (medium confidence, re-raised with new content). The doc line now exists, so the earlier request is met in form. But its reason, "a bounded number of coarse drawings", doesn't show the command must run on the UI thread. Each drawing scales with features, and the PR raises the stall on heavy layers from one drawing to up to five. Posted inline.
• Behaviour changes need two maintainers (docs/maintaining.md). The PR body says it is a draft and asks for a maintainer view, so I did not treat that as blocking.

Earlier concerns left alone: 9 threads on this PR. I did not re-raise the cut-cost change outside the no-fit path (the author narrowed the claim and showed the 18 maps), the silent move (now a notice), the UI-thread and perf thread (answered, measured, documented), the legend-in-veil bug and the search/placement size mismatch (both fixed), the one-colour context design risk (narrowed and tested), the silent undersizing at a smaller scale (now checked), and the move bound with summed margins (now per side). The label-strip veil above is a new finding, not a repeat.

Never silent, medium-low confidence (about 70%, from reading the code; not run). At a smaller scale, legend_sizes_mm returns None when a complete source can't be read (its doc comment says so). here is then None, and whole_frame becomes None too, so the pass is skipped with no notice. unknown_at is only set on the reading || tile_legends_pending branch, so the "isn't tried at 1:N" warning doesn't cover this case. The asked-scale path does warn for the same failure ("a layer's source couldn't be read through"), so the smaller-scale skip is the silent one.

Suggested fix: record the scale whenever the legend can't be measured, so the existing warning (or a sibling one) fires for it too. For example, let sizes = crate::render::layout::legend_sizes_mm(...); if sizes.is_none() { unknown_at.get_or_insert(tried); } sizes in this branch, and reword the warning to cover both causes ("a layer there is still reading, a legend picture still loading, or a source can't be read through"). A test would need a source that reads at the wide view but not at the smaller scale, which may be hard to build; at minimum, a comment saying why it can't happen would also do.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Checked in the code, not reproduced. legend_sizes_mm returns None only through complete_shown_legends, which reads each streamed layer's whole source (visit_complete), not the view. So whether it fails doesn't depend on the wider view, only on which layers draw at that scale.

A source that fails at the asked scale already leaves sizes at None, with the "couldn't be read through" warning, and then the search doesn't run at all. So the silent skip needs a streamed layer whose scale range hides it at the asked scale but shows it at 1.25 to 2 times that, and whose source then fails to read through. That's reachable in principle, but I couldn't build it in a test: it needs a chunk source that fails partway through a complete read, and the test sources here read through or not at all.

So, under the rule I'm following on this PR (a commit only for a defect I reproduce), I'm leaving it as is. If you'd rather have it covered anyway, it's the three lines you suggest: record unknown_at when the measure is None, and add "or a source can't be read through" to the warning. I'd add them on a maintainer's word.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Reproduced after all and fixed in 24d1528. A Shapefile drawn by classes, shown only below the asked scale, with its files gone, takes this path: only sources that stream chunks get their legend read whole. Details are in the re-raised thread on line 1987.

Code review

Bugs

• None confirmed in this round. I read the full diff and checked the move bounds, the crop_cells offsets, the veil z-order (veil is added before the surrounds), the removal of legend_at after the destructuring, and the sizes/reading gating at the asked scale. All of these hold.

Security

• None found. There are no unwrap/expect/panic or unsafe additions in non-test code, and the new veil parameter is refused unless it is a boolean.

Performance

• Nothing new beyond the UI-thread and no-Cancel concern already raised on this PR. The search now draws the map at most four more times. The author measured about 0.7 s on a 14 MB geology map.

Quality

• crates/engine/src/tests.rs:7683 (a_publication_map_moves_aside…): the bound a.0 + a.2 <= l.0 + 160.0 should be <= 160.0, the band's right edge. As written it is weaker than the intended check. Confidence high. Nit, for the release quality pass.
• publication has grown by roughly 350 lines, and most of the new search is inline in one function. Maintainability nit, confidence medium. Consider extracting the search once the behaviour settles.

AGENTS.md

• Never silent (new, inline comment posted at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:1977), confidence about 70%. When legend_sizes_mm returns None at a smaller scale, that scale is skipped without any notice. The asked-scale path does warn for the same failure.
• The publication doc comment states why it runs on the UI thread. Whether that reason is strong enough to require UI-thread execution is already raised (see below), so I left it alone.

Prior review threads: 12 threads were already on this PR. I did not repost any of them, because each is either answered, outdated and addressed in the current code, or the same open question as before. The one still open is the UI-thread justification at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:969. The code has changed since that comment, but the question still stands. That makes 12 earlier concerns left alone and 1 new finding posted.

Bug, medium confidence (about 65%). moved.clear() leaves the "moved" field of the answer empty when the veil groups the surrounds. The veil branch places the legend, locator, north arrow and scale bar in the band, all off their corners, but the output still reports none of them as moved. lay_out documents moved as "the ones moved", and the answer's "moved" is the machine-readable record of that. The warning text does say the surrounds sit in the veil, but a consumer reading "moved" gets the wrong answer. No test asserts moved on the veil path.

Suggested fix: report the four kinds that the group placed, and add an assertion on the veil path.

Suggested change

	moved.clear();
	moved = [Surround::Legend, Surround::Locator, Surround::Arrow, Surround::Scale]
	.into_iter()
	.filter(|kind| surrounds.iter().any(|x| x.0 == *kind))
	.map(|kind| named(kind))
	.collect();

[elpidioassinaturas]

Reproduced and fixed in 5371a1e. On a veiled map, the case in a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room now checks "moved". It failed on e578770 with "moved": [], even though the map had moved 55 mm right and the north arrow, legend and scale bar sat in the veil's band.

"moved" now names every surround that is off its corner after the group places it. Each place is compared with that surround's corner at the same size, the same check lay_out uses. A surround the group leaves at its corner isn't listed, and the order is the same as anywhere else. The docs say that moved comes with a veiled map too.

[github-actions]

Performance, medium-low confidence (about 50%; read, not run). The smaller-scale search calls sync_sources(&lonlat, render_scale, true) on a view wider than the frame, at each scale it tries (up to four times). block = true waits for every read to finish on the UI thread. The asked-scale path already does this, but on the frame only. The search now reads a window up to about twice the frame in each direction, at a smaller scale, so a streamed layer can read a larger area and more features than the 0.7 s measurement covers. That measurement used an in-memory GeoJSON, not a streamed source.

Suggested check: time the command on a streamed GeoPackage or FlatGeobuf with the continuous extent, or note the cost in the doc comment next to the existing "runs on the UI thread" note.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Measured, with one change. On the same 14 MB Minas Gerais geology map, I loaded every layer with "stream": true. The run uses the continuous extent and A4 landscape, on a dev build, and the search moves the map 41 mm left. The whole command took about 0.9 s with the veil and 0.83 s with "veil": false. With the layers in memory it took 0.67 s and 0.52 s.

sync_sources reads only the streamed vector layers and polls raster reloads that are already running. It requests no web tiles, and frame_coverage sets the basemap and tile layers aside while it draws.

CodeRabbit's thread on the asked scale led to a change in 5371a1e: the search now also reads the wide view at the asked scale (see that thread). So every scale it draws has one blocking read of a view up to about twice the frame. The doc comment on fn publication now says this, with the streamed figure next to the in-memory one.

Code review

Bugs

• The veil branch clears moved, so the "moved" output is empty even though the legend, locator, north arrow and scale bar all leave their corners for the veil band. Posted inline with a suggested fix. (crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2222, medium confidence, about 65%)

Performance

• The smaller-scale search calls sync_sources(..., true) on a view wider than the frame, up to four times, and blocks the UI thread while it reads. The 0.7 s timing was measured on an in-memory GeoJSON, not a streamed source. Posted inline. (crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:1972, medium-low confidence, about 50%; read, not run)

Security

• Nothing found. The new veil parameter rejects non-boolean values, and the coordinate arithmetic has no panic path I could find: crop_cells, veil_panel and the modulo uses all take sizes from pixmaps or clamps that are at least 1.

Quality

• The mapShift sign convention is not documented: left and up come out as negative values, but docs/user-guide/layouts.md only says "right and down". Left for the release quality pass.
• publication is now a very long function. Left for the release quality pass.

AGENTS.md

• No non-test unwrap, expect or panic in the diff. New user-visible text is plain engine warnings, consistent with the existing ones.
• The UI-thread note in the publication doc comment and the Cancel-less search were already raised in earlier threads, so I did not repeat them.

Checked and found consistent

• The move direction matches the frame arithmetic and the candidate order.
• The veil and the locator read the moved centre and scale, which is correct.
• The grouping in the search and in the final placement use the same sizes.
• shown_extent and view_lonlat are both in lon/lat, so the one-colour context test compares like with like.
• frame_coverage's new 1024 clamp only reaches the new judged-on path; the other callers are unaffected.

Prior threads: I left 12 earlier concerns alone because they were already raised and answered, or still open with no new evidence. Those cover the UI-thread and Cancel question, the cut cost, the one-colour context, the label veil, the notice for the move, and the legend-size fallback at smaller scales.

Code review

Reviewed the full diff (4 files: layout.rs, render/layout.rs, tests.rs, layouts.md) against AGENTS.md, the PR metadata, and the 19 existing review threads. I found no new defect I'm confident enough to post inline, so I posted no inline comments.

Bugs

• None new. I traced the move arithmetic (direction of dx/dy, the crop_cells offsets, the per-side slack), the veil clip, the search and final-placement consistency, and the scale-step path. I also checked the grouped fallback, the MapFrame update order, and the frame_coverage grid dimensions, which cannot be zero. Confidence in "no new bug": about 75%. Nothing here was compiled or run.
• Left alone: context is judged on the centred frame, not on each moved frame, so a one-colour layer that only comes into view after a move can be counted as empty room. The author raised this in an answered thread and disclosed it in the PR's Limits. Confidence it is real: about 50%.

Security

• None. The only new input is "veil", which is parsed as a bool and refused otherwise. Hostile extents are bounded: the slack is at most half a frame, so the wide drawing is at most about 2× the frame and the cell count stays under the 1024 clamp.

Performance

• Left alone, already raised: layout.publication stays on the UI thread with no Cancel, and the search adds up to four wide drawings plus blocking sync_sources reads per call. The doc comment now says why and gives the 0.7 s measurement. Confidence in the cost: high. The AGENTS.md "Never hold the window" rule asks for a background path; the author declined that for this PR.

Quality (nits; AGENTS.md defers these to the release quality pass)

• fn publication is now about 550 lines of nested closures, and the veil search is hard to follow. Confidence: high.
• tests.rs (publication_layouts_fit_their_pages) now accepts any warning containing "in its frame" (said.len() <= 2). That is looser than the original check. Tightening it to the expected warning would be better. Confidence: medium.
• frame_coverage's doc comment does not mention the clamp change from 512 to 1024. Confidence: high.

AGENTS.md

• "Test both ways": the new pending-read notice (unknown_at, "the map isn't moved or veiled at 1:N") and the smaller-scale legend_sizes_mm skip have no test that produces the notice. The author says the condition could not be reproduced in a test. Confidence this is a rule gap: about 60%.
• The "say why" doc requirement for the UI-thread command is met.
• Ribbon, layering, wasm, and asset rules: no changes that touch them.

Prior reviews: 19 threads exist on this PR. I did not re-raise any of them. Three are resolved and the rest are answered or outdated, with fixes in 5371a1e and earlier commits.

Bug (medium-high confidence): a vertical move is measured at one latitude but drawn at another.

The move converts page mm to projected units with mm = 1000 * ground_per_unit(asked.center()) * ratio / tried (lines 1948 and 1915), so there is found with the asked centre's scale. The moved frame is then drawn with frame_camera(map, there, tried, ..) (the MapFrame element at crates/render/src/layout.rs:704 and :1713). frame_camera sets cam.res = scale * PAPER_M_PER_PT / map.ground_per_unit(cam.center) (crates/map/src/layout.rs:1497). On Web Mercator, ground_per_unit is cos(lat) (crates/map/src/projection.rs:883), so the resolution follows the new centre's latitude.

A horizontal move keeps the latitude, so it is exact. A vertical move changes the latitude, so the frame that is drawn is not the frame that was analysed. The extent, the veil and the outline are then off by the ratio of the two cosines. Example: 1:16,000,000 near 60°N, a 40 mm move north is about 1280 km in projected units, which takes the centre to about 65°N. That is a scale change of roughly 16%. The mapShift warning and the claim that "the extent stays whole" can then be wrong. The same drift applies to any projection whose ground_per_unit varies across the map.

Suggested fix: check each candidate against the camera that will draw it. Build frame_camera(s.map(), there, tried, 0.0, 0.0), project the extent's corners into the frame, and test the margins and the clip with those numbers, or restrict the search to horizontal moves on Mercator-like projections.

Test gap: a_moved_frames_coverage_is_cut_from_the_wide_one only runs at (0, 0), where cos has a zero slope, so it cannot catch this. Add a case at about 60°N with a vertical move that asserts the cut matches the moved frame drawn on its own, and that the extent's outline sits on the extent's own page position.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Reproduced and fixed in 5612ff9. The new test a_publication_map_moved_off_its_latitude_draws_the_extent_where_it_was_placed runs two Web Mercator cases on A4 portrait:

• north: extent 57–61°N, 1:7,800,000
• south: extent 23–19°S, 1:8,500,000

Both are veiled, and both move about 85 mm up or down. The test builds frame_camera from the frame's own centre and scale, works out where the frame draws the extent, and checks that this rectangle is whole in the frame and lies under the Extent Outline. On 8bc10f8 it failed in the north case: the outline's left edge was at 31.6 mm, the drawn extent's at 43.4 mm.

The PNGs show the same thing, with the extent drawn as a red line. Before the fix, the line in the north sits well inside the unveiled hole and is smaller than it. In the south it is larger and runs past the frame's bottom edge, so "the extent still whole" was false.

After the fix:

The fix has three parts:

• Each candidate is placed with the moved centre's own scale, mm × ground_per_unit(there) / ground_per_unit(asked centre). The clip, the veil, the outline and the "whole" check all use that scale.
• A move that leaves the extent out of its margins at that scale isn't made.
• When the scale change would shift a corner of the frame by more than 0.5 mm, that move's coverage is drawn on its own, not cut from the wide drawing.

I didn't just drop vertical moves on such projections, because a conic changes too. Over its 35 mm move, the Brazil A4 portrait map (Albers) changes scale enough to move a corner of the frame by more than half a millimetre, which a strict rejection turned back into the centred, one-column layout. With the moved frame drawn on its own, it keeps the move and comes out pixel-identical to the description's capture.

Of the 18 maps, only the two veiled Minas Gerais ones change, by under a pixel: no pixel differs by more than 40 levels. On publication_layouts_fit_their_pages: its relaxed assertion only lets the move warning through and doesn't check placement. Its map is Piauí, near 7°S, so it couldn't show this drift; placement is now checked by the test above.

[github-actions]

Code review

Bugs

• Vertical moves are measured at one latitude and drawn at another (medium-high confidence). The move search converts page mm to projected units using the asked centre's ground_per_unit, but the moved frame is drawn with a camera built from the new centre (frame_camera sets res from ground_per_unit(cam.center), which is cos(lat) on Web Mercator). Horizontal moves keep the latitude and are exact. Vertical moves can drift by about 16% at 1:16,000,000 near 60°N, so the extent, veil and outline can be misplaced and the "extent still whole" claim can fail. Posted inline at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2001, with a suggested fix and a test gap. The existing cut test runs only at the equator, where the drift is zero.

Security

• Nothing found. The new veil parameter is type-checked, and the new code adds no unchecked indexing or unwrap calls.

Performance

• Nothing new beyond the already-raised UI-thread and extra-render concerns. Those are covered by earlier threads.

Quality

• Nits, left for the release quality pass: the veil warning text (layout.rs:2246) reads awkwardly ("but for the strips … and the surrounds sit there"). The relaxed assertion in publication_layouts_fit_their_pages (tests.rs around line 6690) now allows two warnings instead of one.

AGENTS.md

• The new command-level doc comment says why layout.publication stays on the UI thread, which meets the rule. Its extra renders are not cancellable, which is the same concern already raised and answered on the thread.

Already raised (left alone)

• I left 21 earlier concerns alone: the UI-thread and cancel question, the cut-cost change, the one-colour context rule (including a main-data layer larger than the frame), the silent skip when a smaller-scale legend can't be measured, the locator and wide-read timing, and the test and docs threads. The author answered each one, and I found no new evidence against those answers.

Possible gap in the drift branch (confidence about 40%, read from the code, not run).

When a move's drift is over 0.5 mm, the moved frame is drawn on its own with frame_coverage(there, ...). That path differs from the cut path in two ways:

1. Context is judged on the moved frame. frame_coverage calls frame_coverage_judged_on with the same size for both, so a one-colour neighbour that runs past the centred frame but fits inside this moved one is counted as drawn. The cut moves judge on the centred frame, so the moves are compared on different coverage. The doc comment's "every move's cut leaves out the same layers" doesn't cover this branch.

2. Streamed features outside the wide read may be missing. The wide view is read (blocking) at its own lon/lat box. A vertical move toward higher latitude on Web Mercator gives the moved frame a larger ground resolution (gpu(centre)/gpu(there)), so its far edge can pass the wide frame's edge by roughly the drift. At 60°N, a 40 mm north move gives about 25 mm on a 243 mm frame. Those strips aren't read, and frame_coverage draws only what the map holds, so the legend can be placed on features that appear at export. The new streamed-layer test covers the cut path, not this one.

Possible fix: make the blocking read cover the moved frame's own lon/lat box before this draw, and judge context on the centred frame in both paths, or document the limit. A test with a streamed point in the overflow strip at high latitude would show it.

[elpidioassinaturas]

I tested point 2 and couldn't reproduce it. In 3ce8718, a_publication_map_moved_off_its_latitude_draws_the_extent_where_it_was_placed adds a streamed column of points to both cases, one every quarter degree down the middle of the polygon, through and well past the frame. Both cases take this branch:

• north: 57–61°N, moved 83 mm, 1:7,800,000
• south: 23–19°S, moved 86 mm, 1:8,500,000

After the command, every point the moved frame draws (its screen position from the frame's own camera) is among the features read. The search's blocking read is wanted(view), which pads the wide view by half its size on each side in degrees. That padding takes in the moved frame's overflow, about the 25 mm you estimate in the north case, because half the wide view is well over 100 mm on the page. A strip would go unread only where the overflow outgrows that padding.

On point 1, judging context on the moved frame is the intent, and the comment in that branch says so. On the final map the moved frame is the frame. A one-colour layer that runs past it is context there by the same rule that frame_coverage applies to any frame. A layer that fits inside it counts as drawn, which can only keep a surround off it. The cut path judges on the centred frame because it can't draw each move. Here the move is drawn, so its own frame is the better judge. The cost is that moves in the two paths aren't judged quite alike, so I've left it as is and noted it here.

[github-actions]

Code review

Bugs

• Medium-low confidence (about 40%, read from the code, not run): the drift branch at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2030 draws a moved frame on its own. That branch judges one-colour context on the moved frame, unlike the cut moves, and may miss streamed features beyond the wide read at high latitude. Posted as an inline comment.
• Nothing else found on the logic. I checked the move direction and sign, the cut offset, the veil clip and mask, the veil group placement, the scale step, the moved and arrangement outputs, panic paths on hostile extent and veil values, and the render context test.

Security

• None found. Input is validated (veil must be a bool), and the array indexing is bounded.

Performance

• Known and documented: the search adds up to four full-map draws plus blocking streamed reads per scale, on the UI thread with no Cancel. The doc comment now states the reason and the measured cost.

Quality (nits, left for the release quality pass)

• publication is now about 800 lines. The move search could move into a helper that returns the chosen centre, scale, coverage, shift and veil.
• The Renderer::Unique { … } literal is duplicated in two render tests. An eprintln! in a test is noise.
• The unknown_at warning reads "isn't moved or veiled at 1:N" even when "veil": false was requested.

AGENTS.md

• The UI-thread doc comment, the layouts guide, and the notices for shift, scale and veil all follow the repo rules.
• Warnings are plain English without tl!. This matches the rest of the function's warnings, which feed JSON results, so I left it.

Prior concerns: I left 22 earlier threads alone. The author answered 21 of them, and the open one (the vertical latitude bug) is fixed in code through here_mm and the drift check. The silent skip at a smaller scale when a legend can't be measured is still open. It was answered as not reproduced, and I have no new evidence.

Performance, medium confidence (about 60%, read from the code, not run). A move that changes the latitude takes this drift branch: drift is above 0.5 mm for most vertical moves at mid-latitudes. For Minas Gerais at about 18°S, a 40 mm move at 1:8M changes ground_per_unit by roughly 1.6%, so drift is about 2 mm. Each such candidate calls frame_coverage here, which is a full-map render with no control::check, on the UI thread. Each pass tries two vertical candidates, and the search can run four passes, so this is up to eight extra full-map renders on top of the wide drawings.

The timings in the doc comment and the PR description (0.7 s, 0.9 s streamed) come from runs whose move was horizontal (the streamed run moved 41 mm left). Those take the cut path (drift is 0), so the vertical worst case isn't covered by them.

Suggested: time a vertical move on the same map and state the result in this doc comment, or draw the moved frame from the wide drawing when drift is small. The doc comment's "up to four moved frames per scale" should also match the two vertical candidates per pass.

Measured. Part of the cost was real, and it's changed in 4123576.

Setup: layout.publication on the 14 MB Minas Gerais geology map, continuous extent, globe locator, dev build of rustgis-cli. Each figure is the best of five runs, with the load time taken out. "Own" is how many moved frames took this branch, counted with a temporary log. "Always cut" is a build with this branch turned off.

Map	3ce8718	own	always cut	4123576
Albers (the PR's map), A4 portrait, moved 52 mm down	0.61 s	0	0.58 s	0.61 s
Albers, A4 landscape, moved 58 mm right	0.68 s	0	0.67 s	0.81 s*
Web Mercator, A4 portrait, moved 53 mm up	0.79 s	2 (drift 1.49 mm, the same move twice)	0.87 s	0.63 s
Web Mercator, A4 landscape, moved 58 mm right	1.01 s	2 (drift 0.54 and 0.55 mm)	0.54 s	0.67 s

* Same code path as the column before it. Runs vary by about ±0.15 s.

On the conic the PR's maps use, a vertical move never took this branch: the MG-centred Albers barely changes its ground scale over 52 mm. Web Mercator did, and in landscape two moves whose drift barely passed 0.5 mm cost about 0.47 s. Two changes:

• The threshold is now one cell of the coverage grid, max(fw, fh) / 384, about 0.7 mm on A4. The cut is only exact to a cell anyway, and a_moved_frames_coverage_is_cut_from_the_wide_one allows the cells along the edges.
• A moved frame drawn on its own is kept by (scale, move). The veil pass tries the same moves as the pass before it, and that's why the portrait drew one move twice.

The doc comment says the extra drawings happen where the projection stretches, up to four moved frames per scale, in Web Mercator the two moved up and down. The four is an upper bound, because a projection whose scale changes with longitude can drift on a horizontal move too. The latitude test's moves still take this branch, since their drift is many cells, and it passes.

Code review

I read the full diff, the surrounding search and render code, and the 28 existing review threads. I posted one new inline comment. The rest are nits or already-covered points, listed below.

Bugs

• None found that I could confirm by reading. I checked the veil and move geometry (directions, clip placement, mapShift sign), the cut-from-wide-drawing logic, the Camera copy used in the struct update, the NaN and zero-division paths on hostile extents, and the arrangement and veil consistency (veiled and arrangement "veil" stay in step). The first coverage is drawn after the blocking frame read, so it is not stale.

Security

• None.

Performance

• Vertical moves are outside the measured cost (crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2030, posted inline). Vertical moves at mid-latitudes exceed the 0.5 mm drift threshold, so each candidate re-renders the whole map on the UI thread with no Cancel: up to eight extra full-map renders. The quoted timings came from horizontal moves. Confidence: medium, about 60%.

Quality (nits; left for the release quality pass per AGENTS.md)

• The veil warning at crates/engine/src/cmd/layout.rs:2265 is hard to parse ("…is veiled, for the legend's room, but for the strips under the graticule's labels, and the surrounds sit there…"). Confidence: high.
• The plain_fill assertions sit inside frame_coverage_leaves_out_layers_that_only_outline (crates/render/src/layout.rs:2817), not in a test named for them. Confidence: high.
• crates/engine/src/tests.rs:6693 loosens publication_layouts_fit_their_pages, which now accepts any "in its frame" warning and so would not catch a wrong move. Confidence: high.
• publication grows by about 250 lines of inline search. Extracting the search into a helper would make it easier to review. Confidence: high.

AGENTS.md

• The UI-thread note and the Cancel gap are documented in the doc comment, as the earlier thread asked. The remaining cost is covered by the Performance finding above.
• The one-colour context still hides a layer larger than the frame from the free-room check, so a surround can sit over it with no notice. This is disclosed in the PR and in the docs, and an earlier thread raised it. I left it alone.

I left 28 existing threads alone because they were already raised, and several were answered. The Performance finding above is new, as the drift branch and its timing are not covered by any thread.

Never silent, medium-high confidence (~75%, re-raised). When legend_sizes_mm returns None at a smaller scale, here becomes None, so whole_frame is None and the pass is skipped by continue with no notice. unknown_at is set only for the reading / tile_legends_pending branch, so the "isn't moved or veiled at 1:N" warning never fires for this case.

The earlier reply says this can't be reproduced and gives no test. That is a reason not to fix it in a test-only way, not a reason the rule doesn't apply: AGENTS.md's "Never silent" asks that an unmeasurable scale be reported, and the author concedes the path is reachable in principle. The fix is small:

Suggested change

	crate::render::layout::legend_sizes_mm(s.map_mut(), render_scale, false, false, &[])
	let measured = crate::render::layout::legend_sizes_mm(s.map_mut(), render_scale, false, false, &[]);
	if measured.is_none() {
	unknown_at.get_or_insert(tried);
	}
	measured

The warning at the unknown_at site should then also name a source that can't be read through (its text covers only reading and legend pictures). Please add a test that makes this branch fail, or say why one can't be built.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Reproduced this time, and fixed in 24d1528 with your suggestion. My earlier try failed because only a source that streams chunks gets its whole legend read: complete_shown_legends reads through chunk_source(), which today only a Shapefile has. My streamed GeoJSON never took that path.

The new test, a_publication_says_a_smaller_scale_whose_legend_cant_be_measured, adds a Shapefile drawn by classes to the veiled-at-a-smaller-scale map from a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room. Its visibility range shows it only below the asked scale, and its files are deleted before the command. On 4123576 the result stayed at 1:1,900,000, unveiled, with "warnings": []. With that layer drawn in one symbol, which the legend doesn't read the source for, the same map was veiled at 1:2,400,000.

Now a None from legend_sizes_mm sets unknown_at, as a pending read does. The warning names this cause too: "…a layer there is still reading, a legend picture still loading, or a layer's source can't be read through (exporting says why)". complete_shown_legends already records the source's error on the layer, so the export reports it.

[github-actions]

Test strength, low-medium confidence (~60%). The outline check accepts any edge within margin (15 mm) of the frame's edge, so a misplaced outline near the frame's edge would pass. The outline is clipped to the label-free area, so the expected value is want.max(area edge) and the tolerance can be about 0.5 mm. Left as a nit for the release quality pass unless a misplacement reproduces.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Agreed that it's loose, and I'm leaving it for the quality pass, as you suggest. The expected edge is the drawn edge clamped to the label-free area. That area's margins depend on the profile's labelled edges (e + 9 beside and e + 6 along on figures, other values on sheets), and the test doesn't build them yet. The left / bottom assertions in a_publication_map_moves_aside_for_a_legend_with_no_room already pin the figure margins exactly. A misplaced outline away from the frame's edge would still fail here, as it did on 8bc10f8 (31.6 mm against 43.4 mm).

Code review

Bugs

• Silent skip when the legend can't be measured at a smaller scale. If legend_sizes_mm returns None there, the pass is dropped with no notice, and the "isn't moved or veiled" warning doesn't cover it. This is a re-raise of the thread on line 1987: the earlier reply rests on not reproducing it, which doesn't address AGENTS.md's "Never silent" rule. Medium-high confidence (~75%). Posted inline with a suggestion.

Security

• None found. The only new input is veil, which is type-checked, and the new slicing and indexing helpers (crop_cells, veil_panel, homes[home_slot]) are bounded or clamped.

Performance

• No new concerns beyond the earlier threads. The cost of the search on the UI thread without Cancel was raised and answered in the doc comment and measurements. The doc comment's draw counts (at most four wide drawings, plus up to four moved frames per scale in Web Mercator) match the code.

Quality

• publication now holds roughly 260 lines of nested closures for the move, veil and scale search. Extracting that search into a named function would make it reviewable and testable. Low confidence on urgency; this is a quality point for the release quality pass.
• The latitude test's outline check accepts up to 15 mm of error near the frame edge. Posted inline as a low-medium-confidence nit.

AGENTS.md

• The new silent-skip path breaks "Never silent" (finding above).
• The "Never hold the window" rule is satisfied by the doc comment's stated reason, and the earlier thread on it was answered, so I left it alone.

Earlier concerns left alone: 27 of the 28 existing review threads. I re-raised only the smaller-scale silent skip. Several of the others are fixed in the diff (the latitude fix, per-side move bounds, label-safe veil area, moved on the veil path, plain_fill narrowing), and I checked those in the code.

Checked and ruled out: the veil clip geometry (center is the inverse of the projected extent centre from fit_scale, so it matches asked.center()), the legend-size arguments at smaller scales (same as the asked-scale call), and the homes indexing.

Code review

I found no new defects that I'd post as inline comments. I posted no inline comments because every concern I could substantiate is already in the review threads. I could not build or run the tests (no shell in this session), so compile and test status is unverified. I checked the geometry by reading: the mapShift sign convention (right and down positive), the crop_cells offsets for moved frames, the per-direction margin limits, and the veil band placement all agree with each other.

Bugs

• None new at high confidence.

Security

• None found. The new "veil" parameter is validated and refused when it isn't a boolean. No new file or network input.

Performance

• Still open, and already raised (the UI-thread threads at layout.rs 969 and 1016, the drift-branch thread at 2043, and the sync_sources thread at 1972): layout.publication stays on the UI thread with no Cancel. The new code adds blocking wide-view reads at each scale tried, plus up to four uncancellable own-drawn frames per scale on the drift path. The doc comment now states the reason, and the author measured about 0.7 s on a 14 MB map. AGENTS.md's "Never hold the window" rule is still not met, and the answer addresses only the doc requirement. Confidence: medium, about 60%. Left alone as already raised.

Quality

• The veil search and grouping add roughly 300 lines inside fn publication, which is already very long. Quality point, so it can wait for the release quality pass. Confidence: high.
• The PR body says the search draws the map "at most four more times". The code's doc comment, and the drift path, allow up to four per scale on top of the wide drawings. The code comment is accurate; the PR description is not. Confidence: high. Quality pass.
• The lost > 1.0 threshold makes the cut-legend cost jump from 0 to half the frame. Sub-mm² trims are free, and anything larger is costly. The threshold is intentional, but it is a magic number. Confidence: low, about 30%. Quality pass.
• The docs/user-guide/layouts.md change is one bullet of about 25 lines. It would be easier to read split up. Confidence: high. Quality pass.

AGENTS.md

• Never silent, design (low confidence, about 35%): the one-colour context exclusion in frame_coverage_judged_on lets a surround sit over neighbouring states, and a one-colour layer larger than the frame is still excluded. The docs and limits describe this, but the result carries no warning. The rule is about dropped data, so this may be a deliberate design choice.
• The rest of the AGENTS.md checks pass on the changed lines: no unwrap, expect or indexing added in non-test code that I could find; the new tests cover both lossy and clean inputs; the warnings are English format! strings, consistent with the rest of the engine, which has no i18n calls.

Earlier review threads

• I left 30 earlier concerns alone because they were already raised: 20 from the github-actions reviewer and 10 from CodeRabbit. All 10 CodeRabbit threads are resolved. Of the 20 github-actions threads, 7 are still open or disputed (UI thread, drift path, latency, cut cost, the test-looseness nit deferred to the quality pass, and two others).
