Levi Neuwirth 177bcdb43b Optimal-break review fix: restore an overflow safety net in walk_region
An adversarial review found a real regression: removing the greedy overflow
re-check left walk_region's has_note skip with no safety net. When a note-less
leading measure precedes a soft (or automatic) break at a barline, walk_region
skips the break — the closing system has no content — but the DP, which treated
that barline as a forced segment boundary, optimized each side independently and
could not foresee the skip. The following optimizer-filled measures then absorb
the furniture measure and silently overflow into a MULTI-measure overfull system
(forbidden by the module's own contract). The review verified the rest of the DP
sound (reachability can't yield a giant overfull system, determinism holds).

Fix: restore the greedy overflow check as a fallback net — walk_region also
breaks before a measure that would overflow the content width
(chunk_hi[i] - current_lo > width_limit, guarded by has_note). In the common
content-full case the DP's break fires first, so the net never triggers and the
geometry is the optimizer's (zero golden churn).

Regression: a_content_less_measure_before_a_soft_break_never_overflows (a wide
note-less M0 + a soft break + narrow-then-wide measures; verified to fail
without the net: "system 0 spans 5 measures at width 60 > 42"). 945 tests,
clippy 0, docs -D warnings, zero golden churn, conformance 8/8.

Agent I's engraving constraint solver (spec Chapter 9): turns a ConstrainedLayoutIR into a ResolvedLayoutIR with real geometry. It is the production-side replacement for epiphany-layout-ir's interface-only StubSolver; the two live in separate crates so the spec's core/product boundary stays sharp.

Status: Minimal tier, with casting-off

  • Engraver runs a deterministic horizontal spacing pass (the first axis of the two-pass spring layout): each spring slot is placed left-to-right by a collision-aware advance derived from real glyph bearings.
  • A casting-off pass (Phase 3's layout track) then breaks the spaced line into systems at measure boundaries (greedy first-fit against a PageGeometry — default A4 portrait at an 8 mm staff), stacks systems vertically at the vertical-band model's inter-system gap, assigns pages by content height, and populates the real ResolvedPage/ResolvedSystem tree. Every position is baked into a single y-up world frame (pages stacked vertically), so the SVG renderer and hit-testing consume the flat glyph/stroke lists unchanged.
  • The IR's declared constraints are evaluated — geometric families against the pre-casting spaced frame, break constraints against the final break structure (hard breaks are always honoured; a pathological soft break is skipped and recorded as an IrOverride decision). Chosen breaks are recorded as EngravingDecisions with SynthesisKind::EngravedBreak targets, attributed to the user override that requested them when one did.
  • It reports SolverTier::Minimal: hard constraints (break family included) satisfied, no optimality claim — the quality-metric vector stays the honest all-worst placeholder until the Quality Metric Catalog lands.

Deferred: the vertical soft-spring solve, per-system justification/stretch, optimal break search, widow/orphan control, and casting-off caching. See DECISIONS.md.
