Every non-final system of a multi-system region now stretches its horizontal
slack so its ink fills the content width, instead of sitting at its natural
left-aligned width. ENGRAVER_VERSION 7 → 8 (any wrapping score's baked geometry
differs; a single-system score is unchanged — its only system is ragged-right).
Casting bakes each system by a Placement: a vertical dy plus a horizontal affine
world_x = a·x + b (rigid = a:1, b:dx). A justified system spreads the slack
linearly (a = 1 + extra/span). The map is CLAMPED to the slot-source range: affine
within it, rigid slope-1 beyond it (bearing overhangs, staff lines drawn to the
ink edge), so the mapped ink extremes agree exactly with the per-slot deltas and
the ink spans exactly [left_margin, left_margin + content_width] (no over/under-
shoot). Slot-relative like the E1 remap: glyphs translate by the map at their
SLOT's source (intra-slot offsets survive), spanning strokes map endpoints through
the affine (they stretch), rigid-width strokes (stems/ledgers, via owning_glyph)
track their slot, slur control points map through the affine.
Not justified: a region's last system (ragged-right by convention), a degenerate
span, or a system already at/over width (never compressed into overlap).
Quality consequences (honest): system_break_penalty collapses to ~0 (the point);
the width-uniformity axes rise as the full non-final system contrasts with the
ragged last line (ten-measure casting_off ~0.45 → ~0.80) — a metric-semantics
follow-up noted in DECISIONS. Tests retargeted: the widow rebalance now shows in
measure distribution not baked widths; the floor-column test moved to a synthetic
vector (robust to fixture values). Goldens regenerated (view_box widens to the
content width; same 147 primitives, no collisions). 939 tests, clippy 0, docs
-D warnings, conformance 8/8.
