compiler: carry rubber lengths on Block::VSpace (GH-VSKIP-GLUE-STRETCH slice 1) by d-q222 · Pull Request #606 · flash-tex/flashtex

Scope

Compiler-only slice 1 of GH-VSKIP-GLUE-STRETCH, per daniel-parent's split-PR requirement (the render-pipeline half is a separate follow-up draft, since it builds against the frozen vendor/compiler pin).

Block::VSpace (crates/compiler/src/parser.rs) now carries stretch_pt/shrink_pt alongside pt; anything that doesn't specify rubber gets 0.0/0.0 (matching real TeX — a bare \vspace{1in} has no rubber length). \bigskip/\medskip/\smallskip now emit real LaTeX's glue: (12, 4, 4), (6, 2, 2), (3, 1, 1) pt. New parse_glue_pt_at parses TeX glue syntax for \vspace: a natural dimension followed by optional plus <dimen>/minus <dimen> in either order; repeated keywords, trailing garbage, and unrecognised components are rejected. Finite dimensions only — infinite (fil/fill/filll) stretch is an explicit non-goal, rejected with the existing \vspace requires a recognised dimension diagnostic.

The stale "this layout model has no rubber lengths" comment on the skip constants was corrected — the compiler's own layout.rs still applies only the natural length (no page-stretch model there); threading the rubber into actual page-break glue is the render-pipeline follow-up's job.

Cross-crate check: crates/render-pipeline/Cargo.toml depends on the compiler via the frozen vendor/compiler copy (still the old flat VSpace shape), and this diff touches nothing under crates/render-pipeline/, so no break occurs in the real build — confirmed via a clean cargo check in render-pipeline, bridge, and paragraph-layout (the two crates besides render-pipeline that consume the live ../compiler; neither matches on VSpace).

No crates/render-pipeline/ touch at all (including vendor/), per daniel-parent's split-PR instruction.

Overlap check

coord.py claims — no other claim. Checked against #568/#583/#504 (page/paragraph-control node types) and the amsthm Sep stretch/shrink precedent — no overlap, different node types.

Test results

Focused (crates/compiler):

test parser::tests::skips_carry_their_plus_minus_rubber_lengths ... ok
test parser::tests::vspace_reads_plus_and_minus_in_either_order ... ok
test parser::tests::bare_vspace_has_no_rubber_length ... ok
test result: ok. 3 passed; 0 failed

Independent mutation check (supervisor-run, fresh CARGO_TARGET_DIR): zeroed all six skip stretch/shrink constants → skips_carry_their_plus_minus_rubber_lengths FAILED (left: (12.0, 0.0, 0.0), right: (12.0, 4.0, 4.0)), the other two unaffected as expected (they don't depend on the skip constants); restored → all 3 pass.

Full cargo test in crates/compiler (supervisor-run independently, fresh CARGO_TARGET_DIR): every suite ok, 0 failures.

Entry-point repro (flashtex_compiler::protocol::handle_line, temporary test file, deleted after; independently re-run by the supervisor with the same result): a\bigskip b and a\vspace{1em plus 1pt minus 1pt} b both return "diagnostics":[], "status":"ok".

Not done

Slice 2 (separate render-pipeline draft PR, to be marked "needs re-pin past this PR"): thread stretch/shrink only through Block::VSpace → style::Skip in adapter.rs, per daniel-parent's explicit scope limit — not touching pagebuild.rs or typeset/floatpage.rs, which are daniel-parent's own stacked drafts #569/#584/#599. Also filed as future work: infinite (fil/fill/filll) stretch in parse_glue_pt_at (currently rejected), and consuming the recorded rubber in the compiler's own layout.rs page model if one is ever added.

…H slice 1) Block::VSpace gains stretch_pt/shrink_pt alongside pt. bigskip/medskip/ smallskip now carry real LaTeX's glue (12/4/4, 6/2/2, 3/1/1 pt), and \vspace{<dimen> plus <dimen> minus <dimen>} parses the optional plus/minus components in either order via parse_glue_pt_at (finite dimensions only; fil/fill/filll rejected). A bare dimension keeps 0.0/0.0. The compiler's own layout still sets only the natural length; threading the rubber into page breaking is the render-pipeline slice.

…fields (#636) #606 gave `Block::VSpace` `stretch_pt` and `shrink_pt`. `tests/kernel_untested_b.rs` still destructured the two-field form, so that test target stopped compiling the moment #606 landed: error[E0027]: pattern does not mention fields `stretch_pt`, `shrink_pt` main has been in that state since #606 merged. `{ pt, .. }` restores it. Worth noting how it hid: a target that fails to COMPILE emits no `test result:` line at all, so a summary that sums those lines reports a clean run while silently omitting the whole target. The count goes 762 -> 776 with this fix -- those 14 tests were not running. Implementation-Agent: orchestrator-astra Commit-Executor: orchestrator-astra (direct; Cursor usage limit)

Values are latex.ltx's \@getpen 0/51/151/301/10000. - Parsed::parameters: \tolerance, \pretolerance, \looseness, \widowpenalty, \clubpenalty, \interlinepenalty, \emergencystretch (also \setlength), \sloppy, \fussy, sloppypar, \samepage (and its environment), \raggedbottom, \flushbottom, \enlargethispage(*), each with the group end that restores it. Parsed::hyphenation: \hyphenation words. - \- is a command in the lexer and the expansion pass, so it is never typeset as a hyphen; \penalty's number and parameter values no longer leak as text. - Core 14 layout: forced penalties break lines/pages; \pagebreak in a paragraph ends the page after its line (FlowState carries the pending eject). - Inventory, vocabulary and generated supported-LaTeX artefacts regenerated.

A file \includeonly skips keeps only the first; a missing file keeps both. \input is unchanged. - A vertical-mode \pagebreak (priority 4) is Block::Penalty { value: -10000 } instead of Block::PageBreak: latex.ltx has no \vfil before it, unlike \newpage, so a \flushbottom page it ends is stretched. - amsmath \nobreakdash: the following -, -- or --- as text, then Inline::Penalty 10000 (\setboxz@h{--\nobreak}\unhbox\z@).

The merge with main dropped \addvspace from the outer dispatch list that routes bigskip/medskip/vspace/etc. into vertical_command (main had reorganized this list independently), so \addvspace fell through to the generic unsupported() catch-all and tripped its own debug_assert(!BUILT_INS.contains(name)) sanity check. Add it back alongside vspace. Also update Block::VSpace construction/pattern sites for the stretch_pt/shrink_pt fields GH-VSKIP-GLUE-STRETCH (#606) added to main during the wind-down.

What changed: - `crates/render-pipeline/Cargo.toml` declares a new off-by-default feature `compiler-node-surface`. It carries no behaviour of its own: every arm it adds is the inert answer the pipeline already gave for a compiler node the current pin (`c95977d6`) cannot produce. - The pipeline's exhaustive matches and node constructors now cover main's compiler surface behind that feature: `parser::Block::Penalty`/`Tabbing`, `parser::Inline::ThePage`/`PageNumbering`/`TabStop`/`TabJump`/`Marginpar`/ `Penalty`/`PagePenalty`/`Discretionary`, `VSpace`/`HSpace` glue components, `math::Nucleus::TextRun`/`SideSet`/`Lap` and `math::Accent::Mathring` (compiler flash-tex#549, flash-tex#551, flash-tex#555, flash-tex#568, flash-tex#581, flash-tex#583, flash-tex#587, flash-tex#606, flash-tex#616). `adapter::vspace_block` is a new cfg'd constructor beside the existing `line_break_inline`; the one open-coded `Inline::LineBreak { .. }` left in the `\opening` lowering now goes through `line_break_inline` too. - `tabbing` is lowered to flush-left paragraphs with one `unsupported_block` limitation, the way `LetterBlock` is, so no row is dropped by the re-pin. - `docs/integration/repin-runbook.md`: the exact re-pin commands, the three vendor directories that must move (`compiler`, `tex-expansion`, and a new `bibliography`), the lockfile and `#[ignore]` edits `--locked` CI needs, the measured test deltas and the PRs the pin unblocks. No file under `vendor/` is touched: the vendor swap used to measure all of this was scratch-only and reverted. `git diff --stat origin/main...HEAD` contains zero `vendor/` paths. What was run: Whole `crates/render-pipeline` suite, CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=4, --no-fail-fast: origin/main, pinned vendor, feature off: 469 passed, 13 failed this branch, pinned vendor, feature off: 469 passed, 13 failed (same 13) this branch, vendor re-pinned, feature on: 485 passed, 0 failed The 13 red-on-main tests (letter_class_geometry x5, frame_env, underline_sout x4, uline x2, xcolor_oracle) all pass after the re-pin. Two re-pin-gated #[ignore]s also pass against the re-pinned vendor: test frame_draws_a_rule_border_around_its_content ... ok test coloneqq_decomposes_like_mathtools ... ok crates/flashtex-cli against the same re-pinned vendor: test result: ok. 58 passed; 0 failed cargo check --all-targets on this branch at the current pin: 0 errors. Next step: The integration lane applies docs/integration/repin-runbook.md section 3 -- swap the three vendor trees, move `compiler-node-surface` (and `linebreak-skip`) into `default`, refresh both Cargo.locks, drop the two `#[ignore]`s, update vendor/VENDORING.md.
