### Public API

- **A DOCX export's table text cells grow with their text where they are as tall as their faces' own.**
- A table's text cell was written at an exact line, which Word keeps whatever its text holds, and
its row's margins, its lines' heights or its text's position moved it onto the page's baseline.
- A text cell's lines are now written at a least height where each of its paragraphs is at least
as tall as its runs' own line, by the rule a paragraph's line grows by, and Word then stands its
text within a quarter point of the page's. In the faces the document ships a least line stands
its text where the page does, so the row keeps the cells' padding as its margins and no line is
traded for the space after it. A cell tighter than its face's own, as Poppins' are, in a face
the document does not ship, or set right to left stays exact and is moved as before, except
beside a least cell: that cell calls for no more than its rounding, so the row's margins move
by as little and the exact cell is left the rest of its call, for its position and its lines'
heights. No row of the corpus holds both.
- The corpus writes 138 more paragraphs of text at a least height, in five documents. In Word,
two points more on `Normal` leaves 1041 of the 1832 paragraphs it grows on lines shorter than
1.1 times their letters, from 1138, and 13 documents pass, from 10. Of the five documents'
638 lines, 51 stand nearer the page in LibreOffice 24.2 and none further. Of their 334 steps
from a line to the next, 27 differ from the page's by more than 0.2pt in Word, from 34.

- **A DOCX export's lines grow with their text where they are as tall as their faces' own.**
- Every paragraph's lines were written at an exact height, which Word keeps whatever its text
holds: a reader making the body larger in Word — the `Normal` style two points up — got letters

a composed cell is written by the same writers that write its node anywhere, so one built from an image, a list or a table carries it — a nested table is a real `w:tbl` taking the width of the column it sits in, less its own margins and padding, which is the column's rather than the one the page gives it, since the layout reports a composed cell's content under the owner's path; the paragraph Word requires after a nested table is hidden where it ends its cell holding nothing and no space; a translucent fill is flattened against the colour the page paints under the cell, and a translucent rule against the cell's fill where it has one, since `w:shd` and `w:tcBorders` are opaque, and the table's report note names it (`translucency`); Word re-paginates, so the export states where the layout breaks: every row the layout placed is `w:cantSplit`, `repeatHeader(n)` rows are `w:tblHeader` and keep with the row under them, and a row of blocks is kept whole the same way; the paragraph Word requires after a document's closing table is an ordinary one where the last page has room for two lines below it, so a reader can type below the table, and otherwise a point tall with its mark hidden, so it opens no blank page, reported `APPROXIMATED` since text typed at the end then goes into the table's last cell; a column sized to its content gives its text the editor's point out of its text cells' side margins, on the side their text does not lean on, so the column keeps the page's width, and what its cells do not hold — a composed cell's, padding too thin — widens it, reported `APPROXIMATED` (`right end`)) |

| Clip region open/close (`ShapeClipBegin/EndPayload`) | ✅ `PdfShapeClipBegin/EndRenderHandler` (CLIP_BOUNDS + CLIP_PATH) | ✅ `PptxClipSafety` + raster fallback in `PptxFixedLayoutBackend` — a provably no-op clip (padded content that cannot be cut) skips the fallback entirely and stays native, editable shapes; a clip that can cut ink renders through the PDF backend into one transparent picture on the clip bounds (pixel-exact, not editable as shapes; run-level link hotspots are not emitted and custom fragment handlers do not apply inside the picture; `Builder.clipRasterFallback(false)` restores unclipped vectors + warning; the raster targets a 2048px long edge, clamped to between native size and 4x, so a region larger than that is rendered at native resolution rather than downscaled — which also means its transient memory grows with the clip instead of stopping at the target (a 3370pt A0-landscape region costs ~45MB while rendering, against ~17MB for anything up to 2048pt); a true vector clip is tracked in [#413](https://github.com/DemchaAV/GraphCompose/issues/413)) | ⚠️ inline fallback + one-time capability warning; the report names a clip that cuts what its layers paint, measured from the layout's fragments by `DocxClipInk` — a clip that cuts nothing (an icon inside its box, a disc's initials, a photo filling its circle) is not named; a picture that fills a container clipped to an ellipse takes the ellipse as its geometry, which both editors crop it to; a badge's glyph — a smaller picture in a painted container that clips it to its outline (`CLIP_PATH`) and holds nothing else but drawing — is drawn by `DocxDrawings` as a floating picture over the outline, where the layout places it, reported `APPROXIMATED` — inside a filled panel the badge and its glyph are drawn in front of the shading; an icon picture beside its text in an unpainted container or a layer stack is drawn the same way; a filled or outlined rectangle or rounded rectangle holding text, composed in a table cell, which has no place in the layout to be drawn at, is written as a panel — a one-cell table in its fill and outline, its corners squared and reported, its row held at least the outline's height less its borders and margins, which keep inside it, and a one-line label the shape centres top to bottom on a line taller than the room Word leaves its content cut alike on both sides to that room, no closer to its letters than three quarters of a point, and seated where the page sets it, from the shape's top where the line is taller than its outline and Word sets it on the shape's middle, and a label it holds whole written at the line height that stands its text on the page's baseline, as far as its letters and the room allow, by a tenth of a point or more and not in a standard face the export does not embed — its row held and its label cut in whole twips rounded down, as the row the cell is in holds the page's height rounded once, and what its letters keep the label past that room taken out of the margins of the cell it is in, where it is all that cell holds and the cell all its row holds; the rest of what a composed cell draws (an icon, a tile, a disc) is the table's own drawing and is drawn by `drawCellDrawing` where the layout puts it, anchored as a rectangle is |
| Timeline rail — one logical connector line resolved from marker and entry anchors after layout (`ShapeFragmentPayload` per page) | ✅ `PdfShapeFragmentRenderHandler` — one fragment per page, spliced beneath the markers | ✅ `PptxShapeFragmentRenderHandler` — same payload, same per-page fragments | ⚠️ `DocxDrawings` — the rail is read from the resolved layout's pass fragments and drawn per page as a `line` shape, and the markers as the shapes they are, anchored as a rectangle is: beside an entry's text they move with it when the text above is edited |
| Transform open/close — rotate/scale about fragment centre (`TransformBegin/EndPayload`) | ✅ `PdfTransformBegin/EndRenderHandler` | ✅ `PptxTransformBegin/EndRenderHandler` (group shape; rotation and centre-pivot scaling via the exterior/interior frame ratio) | ⚠️ inline fallback + one-time capability warning; a turned shape container is written upright, and the report names its transform — in its drawn outline's note, or on its own where the outline draws nothing |
