Part of #1782. These are the follow-ups from the last review of #1796, which merged before they could go in.

What changes

  • An export waits only for the shadows it draws. wait_for_cast_shadows filtered layers by visible alone. render_frame also skips a layer outside its scale range and a layer held by a group. An export could therefore start a whole-raster grid, and wait seconds for it, for a relief it never drew; a Cancel during that wait failed the export for nothing. The wait now uses the test render_pass uses: the layer and its groups visible and in scale range at the view's centre or, in a tilted view, at one of its bands. Both share one helper, drawn_scales. (thread)
  • A preview isn't left without its shadows. The presentation and report previews recorded the tile cache's generation after they were drawn. A grid landing during the draw was counted as already seen, and the preview kept no shadows until something else moved the generation. The generation is now read before the draw, so a grid that lands meanwhile draws the preview again. (thread)
  • A file exported on the window's thread says it lacks pending shadows. Export Map runs there, not as a background job, while a style added with its own view loads (the command first waits for that view). A script's or an agent's export also runs there. Since feat(raster): Shaded Relief casts soft shadows (#1782, part 1) #1796, nothing on that thread waits for a grid, so such a file can be written without the shadows still being worked out.
    • The PNG export's warning now says so: "made without the cast shadows still being worked out, as the window doesn't wait for them: once the map shows them, draw or export it again".
    • The GeoTIFF export said nothing in that case. It now lists the same words among its gaps.
    • Whether shadows were still to come is the last pass's to say. An export that drew again once tiles landed, and got its shadows meanwhile, no longer says they were missing.
    • Moving that path to the background job would mean moving the style-view wait off the thread, which is a larger change; it is left as is.
  • Tests check what they claim, whatever the computer's speed. who_joins_work_under_way_is_told_when_it_lands only asserted inside an if that both calls were pending, so it could pass without checking anything. A hidden test hook, rustgis_map::raster::hold_cast_shadows, now holds the light work before it traces. That test and the engine test below use it, so the shadows are surely still to come when they are drawn.

UI evidence

No layout, control or drawing change. The only visible change is the wording of an export's warning, in the notices.

Tests

  • a_tilted_export_waits_for_the_cast_shadows_its_bands_draw (render): a relief drawn only in a far band of a 60° view is waited for.
  • an_export_waits_only_for_the_cast_shadows_it_draws (render): a relief out of its scale range, then one in a group drawn only past 1:1. After an export, the layer's grid is still pending, so nothing was worked out for it.
  • every_drawing_of_the_map_says_a_layer_drawn_without_its_cast_shadows (engine) now also exports a PNG and a GeoTIFF on the window's thread. It checks that each file's warning says it was made without the shadows still being worked out. Its temporary folder is removed however it ends.

fmt and clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings are clean. The map, render, engine and ui-egui tests pass. Two tests fail on this computer only, from its environment:

  • gdal_formats_open_when_gdal_is_installed needs GDAL 3.8; this computer has 3.7.1.
  • portable_projects reload::wrong_geometry… looks for "file" in an operating-system message, which this Windows gives in Portuguese.

Neither touches this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Map exports now warn when cast shadows are still rendering, clarify that the image was created without them, and recommend drawing or exporting again once the shadows appear. Exports do not wait for pending shadows.
    • Cast-shadow rendering now waits only for layers drawn at scales used in the current view, avoiding unnecessary work for out-of-range or grouped layers.
    • Presentation and report previews now account for tile-cache updates, helping keep displayed previews current.

… shadows they draw (opengeos#1782)

- wait_for_cast_shadows uses render_frame's test (visible, in scale range,
  not held by a group): an export no longer starts and waits for a grid it
  never draws.
- The presentation and report previews read the tile cache's generation
  before they draw, so a grid landing meanwhile draws them again.
- A file exported on the window's thread (Export Map while a style's view
  loads, a script's or an agent's export) says it was made without the
  shadows still being worked out; a GeoTIFF lists it among its gaps.
- who_joins_work_under_way_is_told_when_it_lands asserts its precondition.

Walkthrough

Cast-shadow waits now account for the scales drawn by a view. Export notices explain when pending shadows were omitted. Document and report preview keys include tile-cache generation captured before drawing.

Changes: Cast-shadow rendering and previews

Layer / File(s) Summary
View-aware cast-shadow waits and render state
crates/render/src/lib.rs
Cast-shadow waits now consider layers drawn at the camera-centre and tilt-band scales. Complete and placed renders manage pending-shadow state. Tests cover tilted views, scale ranges, and grouped layers.
Pending-shadow notices and synchronization tests
crates/engine/src/cmd/share.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, crates/map/src/raster.rs
Export notices state that the output was made without pending shadows. Tests hold shadow work to check PNG and TIFF notices and verify callbacks for joining callers.
Preview cache generation keys
crates/ui-egui/src/layoutview.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/docpanes.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/reportpane.rs
Document and report previews capture tile-cache generation before drawing and include it in preview keys.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1e587

Production behavior looks correct. One regression test for tilted exports may not catch a future loss of the band-scale wait, so tightening it is worth doing but need not block the merge.

Explanation

The title names the main change, export shadow waiting limited to the shadows an export draws. It also names the preview and file-warning follow-ups. It is long (147 characters, 24 words) and packs several changes into one line, but it stays on-topic and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is detailed and substantive. It explains four changes: export shadow waiting now matches the layers and scales the frame draws; preview cache keys record the tile-cache generation before drawing; PNG and GeoTIFF export notices warn about shadows still being worked out on the window thread; and the joiner test now asserts its pending-work precondition, with a hidden test hook. It lists specific tests added or changed, and reports fmt and clippy results along with test outcomes. The template's required sections are all present: Summary (covered by 'What changes'), Testing (covered by 'Tests' and the closing paragraph), and UI evidence (stated as 'No layout, control or drawing change', with the only visible change being warning wording). The template asks for a screenshot only when UI changes, and the author states there is no layout change, so this is acceptable. The Related issue section is missing: the template asks for 'Closes #' or 'Part of #', and the description opens with 'Part of #1782' in prose rather than under a Related issue heading. This is a minor formatting gap, so the check passes.

Bug (confidence ~70%): the wait misses layers drawn in tilt bands, so a tilted PNG export can now be written without shadows it used to wait for.

The wait now tests layers against the view's centre scale only. For a tilted view (pitch != 0), render_pass (around lines 2120-2122) also draws layers at each tilt band's scale, and passes full_res_rasters into render_frame for those bands (around lines 2225, 2242, 2486, 2794). A Shaded Relief layer whose scale range holds only at a band's scale is drawn in the export, and its grid is never waited for. This layer used to be waited for, since the old code waited on every visible layer. render_frame then sets SHADOWS_TO_COME, so the PNG export on the background job reports "as the window doesn't wait for them", which is false for an export that runs off the window's thread.

Suggested fix: test the same scales render_pass uses. draws_at covers visibility, the layer's and its groups' scale ranges, and group visibility, so it matches what render_frame draws. This line needs the scales computed above it, and the function needs a scales vector built as render_pass builds it (centre scale, plus band scales when pitch != 0 and not a globe, with pitch normalised first):

Suggested change
for layer in map.layers.iter().filter(|l| l.visible && l.in_scale_range(scale) && !held.contains(&l.id)) {
for layer in map.layers.iter().filter(|l| scales.iter().any(|s| map.draws_at(l, *s))) {

I have not compiled this. It needs a regression test: a tilted export (pitch != 0) with a Shaded Relief layer whose scale range holds only at a band scale, asserting its grid is ready after the export. The existing an_export_waits_only_for_the_cast_shadows_it_draws covers only a flat view.

Fixed in 1e5873f. wait_for_cast_shadows now tests the scales render_pass draws at, with Map::draws_at: the centre's and, when tilted and not on a globe, each band's (pitch normalised first). Both use one helper, drawn_scales. Test: a_tilted_export_waits_for_the_cast_shadows_its_bands_draw, a 60° view whose relief is in scale range only in a far band, with its grid ready after the export.

Bugs

  • crates/render/src/lib.rs:6429 (confidence ~70%): wait_for_cast_shadows now tests layers only against the view's centre scale. For a tilted export (pitch != 0), render_pass also draws layers at each tilt band's scale. A Shaded Relief layer whose scale range holds only at a band's scale is no longer waited for. Its export is then written without shadows, and the PNG warning says "as the window doesn't wait for them", which is false for an export that runs off the window's thread. The fix is to test the same scales render_pass uses. Posted inline with a suggestion. I have not compiled it.

Security: None found. The change adds no input handling, and the test writes only to a pid-named temp directory.

Performance: None found. held_by_group and the extra scale loop run once per wait.

Quality

  • crates/map/src/raster.rs (confidence ~25%): the assertion that both calls return Pending is now unconditional. It holds unless the worker finishes within microseconds, or a refused thread spawn runs the job inline. Either would fail the test. Low impact.
  • Nits, left for the release quality pass: the two new messages word the same fact differently ("made without…" in the PNG warning, "drawn without them…" in the GeoTIFF gap). The engine test leaves its temp directory behind if an assertion fails, because cleanup is not in a guard.

AGENTS.md: The changes follow the rules on warnings through shadow_warnings and gaps, on keeping the window responsive, and on tests for both lossy and clean input. The flat-view test does not cover the tilted case in Bugs above.

Checked and found sound: the preview cache. Reading the generation before the draw means a landing during the draw forces a redraw on the next frame. The only preview_key callers were updated. The range test is valid: in_scale_range is scale <= min_scale, so min_scale = 1.0 puts the layer out of range at the view's scale.

Already raised earlier: none. The prior-review file had no threads.

Make the tilt-band wait test independent of worker speed.

If shadow work finishes during drawing, this assertion passes even when the export did not wait. The 64 × 64 raster permits that sequence. Ready after rendering does not establish that wait_for_cast_shadows selected the layer.

Add a controlled worker checkpoint and release it from another thread after the export enters its shadow wait. Confirm that removing the band-scale selection makes the test fail.

Quality (confidence ~95%): the doc comment for start_light is now attached to the new static.

The "Works out a light grid…" comment was above fn start_light. The new LIGHT_HOLD static and hold_cast_shadows were inserted between that comment and the function, so start_light has no doc and LIGHT_HOLD gets the wrong one. The static's own doc also appears twice in spirit: it says "Held by…" while the function doc describes a different function.

Suggested fix: move the start_light doc back onto the function, after the hold helper.

Quality / robustness (confidence ~60%): a test hook is now public production API, and it is process-wide.

hold_cast_shadows is pub in rustgis_map and LIGHT_HOLD is one static for the whole process, so every light grid in every thread waits while a guard lives. Three consequences:

  • Any caller can stall all cast-shadow work. A leaked guard (mem::forget, or a cycle that keeps it alive) blocks every export that waits for shadows until the process ends.
  • Other tests in the same binary that start light work block until the guard drops. That is latency, not a deadlock, but it couples unrelated tests.
  • In the spawn-refused fallback (start_light runs run on the calling thread), run takes LIGHT_HOLD.read() on the thread that already holds the write guard. Per the RwLock docs that may deadlock. It only happens when the OS refuses a thread while a hold is active, so it is a test-only risk, but it would hang rather than fail.

A cfg gate is not available across crates here (the render and engine tests call it). Options: a test-hooks feature enabled only by the dev-dependencies, or keep the hold per-map/per-owner rather than global. Worth a short note in the doc comment at least: "a guard must not outlive the test".

Possible bug (confidence ~35%): notices from an earlier pass survive a later pass that drew the layer.

complete_passes resets SHADOWS_TO_COME before each re-render, so the "still to come" flag is per pass. SHADOW_NOTICES is not reset, so a notice pushed in pass 1 (for example "its cast shadows were stopped", or "…aren't drawn: …") stays in shadows for the export. If pass 2 draws the layer with its shadows, the file still says they were missing. This is the same false-positive the PR fixes for the flag, left in place for the notices.

I have not confirmed it can be reached: it needs a grid that stops or fails in pass 1 and succeeds on a retry within the same export. If that is impossible, a comment saying so would settle it. If it is possible, the notices from a pass that was drawn again should be dropped in the same way (keep only the last pass's, or keep them only when that pass still lacks the layer's shadows).

Bugs

  • No confirmed bugs. I checked the tilted-band wait against render_pass, the flag reset in complete/complete_passes, the preview key (finished() bumps the generation on fetch end, not start, so no redraw loop), and the new engine test (share.exportMap runs synchronously via write_here).
  • complete_passes resets SHADOWS_TO_COME on each retry but not SHADOW_NOTICES. A notice from an earlier pass can survive into a file whose later pass drew the shadows. Possible, not confirmed reachable. Confidence ~35%. Inline at crates/render/src/lib.rs:6502.

  • None found. The new hook is a test helper with no input path.

Performance

  • None significant. drawn_scales runs twice per export and the new RwLock read runs once per light job. Both negligible.

Quality

  • The doc comment for start_light now sits on the new LIGHT_HOLD static, and start_light has none. Confidence ~95%. Inline at crates/map/src/raster.rs:967, with a suggestion block.
  • hold_cast_shadows is public, #[doc(hidden)], and process-wide. A leaked guard stalls all shadow work. In the spawn-refused fallback, start_light can take the read lock on the thread already holding the write guard, which may deadlock rather than fail. Confidence ~60%, test-only exposure. Inline at crates/map/src/raster.rs:974.
  • Nit: the "made without the cast shadows still being worked out…" string is duplicated in crates/engine/src/cmd/share.rs:232 and crates/render/src/lib.rs:6580. A shared constant would keep them in step.

AGENTS.md

  • Never crash: no new unwrap/expect in non-test code. The lock uses unwrap_or_else(into_inner).
  • Never silent: the to-come notice is emitted for both PNG and GeoTIFF exports, and only when the file is written.
  • Test both ways: the complete flag fix (a false notice after shadows land on retry) has no regression test. The PR says it is hard to stage deterministically. Under the AGENTS.md rule this is a bug fix, so it should either get a test or a stated reason. Confidence ~50%. Not posted inline.
  • Translatable text: the engine notice strings are plain English, and share.rs has no tl! calls. That matches the existing engine convention, so I did not raise it.

Prior reviews

  • 4 threads reviewed. Each concern was addressed in 1e5873f, and I checked the fix in the code, so I did not re-raise any of them.
  • The tilted-band thread is still marked unresolved but outdated. The fix is verified in drawn_scales and wait_for_cast_shadows.
  • Concerns left alone: 4.
