The third pipeline primitive kind, review-hardened (5 verified findings fixed
pre-commit). A `Curve` (four control points, mirroring `Stroke`) threads
through all three IR stages, the canonical-encode fingerprint (a 5th u32 count
prefix; width-lock 4→5), the round-trip provenance chains and count identity,
`to_render`, the stub solver, engrave remap + casting, SVG path emission, and
hit-testing.
Slurs draw as one cubic bézier per slur carrying the slur's exact provenance
(no synthesis). LayoutContent::Slur resolves each endpoint event to a Note
column at to_logical (SlurEndpoint At/Unresolved — E1's honest-placement
discipline); a symmetric arc whose apex sits `height` from the endpoint line;
curvature_override direction+height honored, style.line (dashed) deferred to
Push 3. Honest non-drawing (traced anchor kept) for an unresolved endpoint, a
non-left-to-right span, or a cross-staff slur (no single staff — would float
at yo=0). Authored height/thickness sanitized to defaults when non-positive
(a negative thickness would else fail validation and blank the layout).
Hit-test: HitShape::Curve (Copy) flattens the cubic to a 16-segment capsule
inside contains/intersects (one region per curve); a slur click resolves to
Slur generically (no editor arm; edit ops refuse it). render-svg: stroked
unfilled <path C> after strokes/before glyphs + curve_count + content-hull
bounds. engrave: HorizontalRemap::curves; casting curve_system = Rigid-to-
start-system (no de Casteljau split — deferred; break-spanning slur draws
whole in its start system, kept for the source surjection); ENGRAVER_VERSION
4→5; slur_shape_penalty now 0.0 by construction (Minimal draws the ideal arc).
Existing SVG goldens changed only in the provenance-note comment (curves now
enumerated) — geometry byte-identical; 6 snapshots gained curve_count; new
ten_measure_with_slurs goldens. 929 tests, conformance 8/8.
