Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add tooltips to RoomsListHeader sync status indicators

This commit adds hover tooltips to the three icon/spinner indicators
(loading_spinner, offline_icon, synced_icon) in the RoomsListHeader
to explain what each icon means ("Syncing...", "Offline", "Fully synced").
Hit testing is carefully managed to ensure tooltips do not appear on
hidden elements and properly clear when the element visibility changes
while hovered.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix tooltips in RoomsListHeader

- Add `cx` argument to `self.view.view(cx, ids!(...))` calls in `RoomsListHeader` to resolve `WidgetRef` derive error.
- Remove extraneous `&scope.path` argument from `cx.widget_action` calls in `RoomsListHeader::handle_event` to fix `widget_action` method signature mismatch.

-# Makepad Project Guide
-
-## Important: When Converting Syntax
-
-**Always search for existing usage patterns in the NEW crates (widgets, code_editor, studio) before making syntax changes.** The old `widgets` and `live_design!` syntax is deprecated. When unsure about the correct syntax for something, grep for similar usage in `widgets/src/` to find the correct pattern.
-
-```bash
-# Example: find how texture declarations work in new system
-grep -r "texture_2d" widgets/src/
-```
-
-**Critical: Always use `Name: value` syntax, never `Name = value`.** The old `Key = Value` syntax no longer works. For named widget instances, use `name := Type{...}` syntax.
-
-## Running UI Programs
-
-```bash
-RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo run -p makepad-example-splash --release & PID=$!; sleep 15; kill $PID 2>/dev/null; echo "Process $PID killed"
-```
-
-## Cargo.toml Setup
-
-```toml
-[package]
-name = "makepad-example-myapp"
-version = "0.1.0"
-edition = "2021"
-
-[dependencies]
-makepad-widgets = { path = "../../widgets" }
-```
-
-
-## Widgets DSL (script_mod!)
-
-The new DSL uses `script_mod!` macro with runtime script evaluation instead of the old `live_design!` compile-time macros.
-
-### Imports and App Setup
-
-```rust
-use makepad_widgets::*;
-
-app_main!(App);
-
-script_mod!{
-    use mod.prelude.widgets.*
-    
-    load_all_resources() do #(App::script_component(vm)){
-        ui: Root{
-            main_window := Window{
-                window.inner_size: vec2(800, 600)
-                body +: {
-                    // UI content here
-                }
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-impl App {
-    fn run(vm: &mut ScriptVm) -> Self {
-        crate::makepad_widgets::script_mod(vm);  // Register all widgets
-        // Platform-specific initialization goes here (e.g., vm.cx().start_stdin_service() for macos)
-        App::from_script_mod(vm, self::script_mod)
-    }
-}
-
-#[derive(Script, ScriptHook)]
-pub struct App {
-    #[live] ui: WidgetRef,
-}
-
-impl MatchEvent for App {
-    fn handle_actions(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, actions: &Actions) {
-        // Handle widget actions
-    }
-}
-
-impl AppMain for App {
-    fn handle_event(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, event: &Event) {
-        self.match_event(cx, event);
-        self.ui.handle_event(cx, event, &mut Scope::empty());
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Available Widgets (widgets/src/lib.rs)
-
-Core: `View`, `SolidView`, `RoundedView`, `ScrollXView`, `ScrollYView`, `ScrollXYView`
-Text: `Label`, `H1`, `H2`, `H3`, `LinkLabel`, `TextInput`
-Buttons: `Button`, `ButtonFlat`, `ButtonFlatter`
-Toggles: `CheckBox`, `Toggle`, `RadioButton`
-Input: `Slider`, `DropDown`
-Layout: `Splitter`, `FoldButton`, `FoldHeader`, `Hr`
-Lists: `PortalList`
-Navigation: `StackNavigation`, `ExpandablePanel`
-Overlays: `Modal`, `Tooltip`, `PopupNotification`
-Dock: `Dock`, `DockSplitter`, `DockTabs`, `DockTab`
-Media: `Image`, `Icon`, `LoadingSpinner`
-Special: `FileTree`, `PageFlip`, `CachedWidget`
-Window: `Window`, `Root`
-Markup: `Html`, `Markdown` (feature-gated)
-
-### Widget Definition Pattern
-
-```rust
-// Rust struct
-#[derive(Script, ScriptHook, Widget)]
-pub struct MyWidget {
-    #[source] source: ScriptObjectRef,  // Required for script integration
-    #[walk] walk: Walk,
-    #[layout] layout: Layout,
-    #[redraw] #[live] draw_bg: DrawQuad,
-    #[live] draw_text: DrawText,
-    #[rust] my_state: i32,  // Runtime-only field
-}
-
-// For widgets with animations, add Animator derive:
-#[derive(Script, ScriptHook, Widget, Animator)]
-pub struct AnimatedWidget {
-    #[source] source: ScriptObjectRef,
-    #[apply_default] animator: Animator,
-    // ...
-}
-```
-
-### Script Module Structure
-
-```rust
-script_mod!{
-    use mod.prelude.widgets_internal.*  // For internal widget definitions
-    use mod.widgets.*                    // Access other widgets
-    
-    // Register base widget (connects Rust struct to script)
-    mod.widgets.MyWidgetBase = #(MyWidget::register_widget(vm))
-    
-    // Create styled variant with defaults
-    mod.widgets.MyWidget = set_type_default() do mod.widgets.MyWidgetBase{
-        width: Fill
-        height: Fit
-        padding: theme.space_2
-        
-        draw_bg +: {
-            color: theme.color_bg_app
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Key Syntax Differences (Old vs New)
-
-| Old (live_design!) | New (script_mod!) |
-|-------------------|-------------------|
-| `<BaseWidget>` | `mod.widgets.BaseWidget{ }` |
-| `{{StructName}}` | `#(Struct::register_widget(vm))` |
-| `(THEME_COLOR_X)` | `theme.color_x` |
-| `<THEME_FONT>` | `theme.font_regular` |
-| `instance hover: 0.0` | `hover: instance(0.0)` |
-| `uniform color: #fff` | `color: uniform(#fff)` |
-| `draw_bg: { }` (replace) | `draw_bg +: { }` (merge) |
-| `default: off` | `default: @off` |
-| `fn pixel(self)` | `pixel: fn()` |
-| `item.apply_over(cx, live!{...})` | `script_apply_eval!(cx, item, {...})` |
-
-### Runtime Property Updates with script_apply_eval!
-
-Use `script_apply_eval!` macro to dynamically update widget properties at runtime:
-```rust
-// Old system (live! macro with apply_over)
-item.apply_over(cx, live!{
-    height: (height)
-    draw_bg: {is_even: (if is_even {1.0} else {0.0})}
-});
-
-// New system (script_apply_eval! macro)
-script_apply_eval!(cx, item, {
-    height: #(height)
-    draw_bg +: {is_even: #(if is_even {1.0} else {0.0})}
-});
-
-// For colors, use #(color) syntax
-let color = self.color_focus;
-script_apply_eval!(cx, item, {
-    draw_bg +: {
-        color: #(color)
-    }
-});
-```
-
-Note: In `script_apply_eval!`, use `#(expr)` for Rust expression interpolation instead of `(expr)`.
-
-### Theme Access
-
-Always use `theme.` prefix:
-```rust
-color: theme.color_bg_app
-padding: theme.space_2
-font_size: theme.font_size_p
-text_style: theme.font_regular
-```
-
-### Property Merging with `+:`
-
-The `+:` operator merges with parent instead of replacing:
-```rust
-mod.widgets.MyButton = mod.widgets.Button{
-    draw_bg +: {
-        color: #f00  // Only overrides color, keeps other draw_bg properties
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Shader Instance vs Uniform
-
-- `instance(value)` - Per-draw-call value (can vary per widget instance)
-- `uniform(value)` - Shared across all instances using same shader
-
-```rust
-draw_bg +: {
-    hover: instance(0.0)           // Each button has its own hover state
-    color: uniform(theme.color_x)  // Shared base color
-    color_hover: instance(theme.color_y)  // Per-instance if color varies
-}
-```
-
-### Animator Definition
-
-```rust
-animator: Animator{
-    hover: {
-        default: @off
-        off: AnimatorState{
-            from: {all: Forward {duration: 0.1}}
-            apply: {
-                draw_bg: {hover: 0.0}
-                draw_text: {hover: 0.0}
-            }
-        }
-        on: AnimatorState{
-            from: {all: Snap}  // Instant transition
-            apply: {
-                draw_bg: {hover: 1.0}
-                draw_text: {hover: 1.0}
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Shader Functions
-
-```rust
-draw_bg +: {
-    pixel: fn() {
-        let sdf = Sdf2d.viewport(self.pos * self.rect_size)
-        sdf.box(0.0, 0.0, self.rect_size.x, self.rect_size.y, 4.0)
-        sdf.fill(self.color.mix(self.color_hover, self.hover))
-        return sdf.result
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Note: Use `.method()` not `::method()` in shaders.
-
-### Color Mixing (Method Chaining)
-
-```rust
-// Old nested style (avoid)
-mix(mix(mix(color1, color2, hover), color3, down), color4, focus)
-
-// New chained style (preferred)
-color1.mix(color2, hover).mix(color3, down).mix(color4, focus)
-```
-
-### App Structure Pattern
-
-```rust
-script_mod!{
-    use mod.prelude.widgets.*
-    
-    load_all_resources() do #(App::script_component(vm)){
-        ui: Root{
-            main_window := Window{
-                window.inner_size: vec2(1000, 700)
-                body +: {
-                    // Your UI here
-                    MyWidget{}
-                }
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-impl App {
-    fn run(vm: &mut ScriptVm) -> Self {
-        crate::makepad_widgets::script_mod(vm);
-        // Platform-specific initialization (e.g., vm.cx().start_stdin_service() for macos)
-        App::from_script_mod(vm, self::script_mod)
-    }
-}
-
-#[derive(Script, ScriptHook)]
-pub struct App {
-    #[live] ui: WidgetRef,
-}
-
-impl MatchEvent for App {
-    fn handle_actions(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, actions: &Actions) {
-        if self.ui.button(ids!(my_button)).clicked(actions) {
-            log!("Button clicked!");
-        }
-    }
-}
-
-impl AppMain for App {
-    fn handle_event(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx, event: &Event) {
-        self.match_event(cx, event);
-        self.ui.handle_event(cx, event, &mut Scope::empty());
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Widget ID References
-
-Use `:=` for named widget instances:
-```rust
-// In DSL
-my_button := Button{text: "Click"}
-
-// In Rust code
-self.ui.button(ids!(my_button)).clicked(actions)
-```
-
-### Template Definitions in Dock
-
-Templates inside Dock are local; use `let` bindings at script level for reusable components:
-```rust
-script_mod!{
-    // Reusable at script level
-    let MyPanel = SolidView{
-        width: Fill
-        height: Fill
-        // ...
-    }
-    
-    // Use directly
-    body +: {
-        MyPanel{}  // Works because it's a let binding
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Custom Draw Widget Example
-
-```rust
-#[derive(Script, ScriptHook, Widget)]
-pub struct CustomDraw {
-    #[walk] walk: Walk,
-    #[layout] layout: Layout,
-    #[redraw] #[live] draw_quad: DrawQuad,
-    #[rust] area: Area,
-}
-
-impl Widget for CustomDraw {
-    fn draw_walk(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx2d, _scope: &mut Scope, walk: Walk) -> DrawStep {
-        cx.begin_turtle(walk, self.layout);
-        let rect = cx.turtle().rect();
-        self.draw_quad.draw_abs(cx, rect);
-        cx.end_turtle_with_area(&mut self.area);
-        DrawStep::done()
-    }
-    
-    fn handle_event(&mut self, _cx: &mut Cx, _event: &Event, _scope: &mut Scope) {}
-}
-```
-
-### Script Object Storage: map vs vec
-
-In script objects, properties are stored in two different places:
-- **`map`**: Contains `key: value` pairs (regular properties)
-- **`vec`**: Contains named template items (via `:=` syntax)
-
-This distinction is important when working with `on_after_apply` or inspecting script objects directly.
-
-### Templates in List Widgets (PortalList, FlatList)
-
-In list widgets, named IDs (using `:=`) define **templates** that are stored in the widget's `templates` HashMap. These are NOT regular properties - they go into the script object's vec and are collected via `on_after_apply`.
-
-```rust
-// In script_mod! - defining templates for a list
-my_list := PortalList {
-    // Regular properties (go into struct fields)
-    width: Fill
-    height: Fill
-    scroll_bar: mod.widgets.ScrollBar {}
-    
-    // Templates (named with :=) - stored in templates HashMap, NOT struct fields
-    Item := View {
-        height: 40
-        title := Label { text: "Default" }
-    }
-    Header := View {
-        draw_bg: { color: #333 }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-The templates are collected in `on_after_apply`:
-```rust
-impl ScriptHook for PortalList {
-    fn on_after_apply(&mut self, vm: &mut ScriptVm, apply: &Apply, scope: &mut Scope, value: ScriptValue) {
-        if let Some(obj) = value.as_object() {
-            vm.vec_with(obj, |_vm, vec| {
-                for kv in vec {
-                    if let Some(id) = kv.key.as_id() {
-                        self.templates.insert(id, kv.value);
-                    }
-                }
-            });
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Then used during drawing:
-```rust
-while let Some(item_id) = list.next_visible_item(cx) {
-    let item = list.item(cx, item_id, id!(Item));
-    item.label(ids!(title)).set_text(cx, &format!("Item {}", item_id));
-    item.draw_all(cx, &mut Scope::empty());
-}
-```
-
-**Key distinction**: Regular properties like `scroll_bar: mod.widgets.ScrollBar {}` are applied directly to struct fields. Template definitions like `Item := View {...}` are stored separately for dynamic instantiation.
-
-### PortalList Usage
-
-```rust
-#[derive(Script, ScriptHook, Widget)]
-pub struct MyList {
-    #[deref] view: View,
-}
-
-impl Widget for MyList {
-    fn draw_walk(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx2d, scope: &mut Scope, walk: Walk) -> DrawStep {
-        while let Some(item) = self.view.draw_walk(cx, scope, walk).step() {
-            if let Some(mut list) = item.borrow_mut::<PortalList>() {
-                list.set_item_range(cx, 0, 100);  // 100 items
-                
-                while let Some(item_id) = list.next_visible_item(cx) {
-                    let item = list.item(cx, item_id, id!(Item));
-                    item.label(ids!(title)).set_text(cx, &format!("Item {}", item_id));
-                    item.draw_all(cx, &mut Scope::empty());
-                }
-            }
-        }
-        DrawStep::done()
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### FileTree Usage
-
-```rust
-impl Widget for FileTreeDemo {
-    fn draw_walk(&mut self, cx: &mut Cx2d, scope: &mut Scope, walk: Walk) -> DrawStep {
-        while self.file_tree.draw_walk(cx, scope, walk).is_step() {
-            self.file_tree.set_folder_is_open(cx, live_id!(root), true, Animate::No);
-            // Draw nodes recursively
-            self.draw_node(cx, live_id!(root));
-        }
-        DrawStep::done()
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Registering Custom Draw Shaders
-
-For custom draw types with shader fields, use `script_shader`:
-
-```rust
-script_mod!{
-    use mod.prelude.widgets_internal.*
-    
-    // Register custom draw shader
-    set_type_default() do #(DrawMyShader::script_shader(vm)){
-        ..mod.draw.DrawQuad  // Inherit from DrawQuad
-    }
-    
-    // Register widget that uses it
-    mod.widgets.MyWidgetBase = #(MyWidget::register_widget(vm))
-}
-
-#[derive(Script, ScriptHook)]
-#[repr(C)]
-struct DrawMyShader {
-    #[deref] draw_super: DrawQuad,
-    #[live] my_param: f32,
-}
-```
-
-### Registering Components (non-Widget)
-
-For structs that aren't full widgets but need script registration:
-
-```rust
-script_mod!{
-    // For components (not widgets)
-    mod.widgets.MyComponentBase = #(MyComponent::script_component(vm))
-    
-    // For widgets (implements Widget trait)
-    mod.widgets.MyWidgetBase = #(MyWidget::register_widget(vm))
-}
-```
-
-### Script Prelude Modules
-
-Two prelude modules available:
-- `mod.prelude.widgets_internal.*` - For internal widget library development
-- `mod.prelude.widgets.*` - For app development (includes all widgets)
-
-```rust
-script_mod!{
-    // App development - use widgets prelude
-    use mod.prelude.widgets.*
-    
-    // Or for widget library internals
-    use mod.prelude.widgets_internal.*
-    use mod.widgets.*
-}
-```
-
-### Default Enum Values
-
-For enums with a `None` variant that need `Default`, use standard Rust `#[default]` attribute instead of `DefaultNone` derive:
-
-```rust
-// Correct - use #[default] attribute on the None variant
-#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Default)]
-pub enum MyAction {
-    SomeAction,
-    AnotherAction,
-    #[default]
-    None,
-}
-
-// Wrong - don't use DefaultNone derive
-#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, DefaultNone)]  // Don't do this
-pub enum MyAction {
-    SomeAction,
-    None,
-}
-```
-
-### Multi-Module Script Registration Pattern
-
-When refactoring a multi-file project (like studio) from `live_design!` to `script_mod!`:
-
-1. **Each widget module** defines its own `script_mod!` that registers to `mod.widgets.*`:
-```rust
-// In studio_editor.rs
-script_mod! {
-    use mod.prelude.widgets_internal.*
-    use mod.widgets.*
-    
-    mod.widgets.StudioCodeEditorBase = #(StudioCodeEditor::register_widget(vm))
-    mod.widgets.StudioCodeEditor = set_type_default() do mod.widgets.StudioCodeEditorBase {
-        editor := CodeEditor {}
-    }
-}
-```
-
-2. **The lib.rs** aggregates all widget script_mods:
-```rust
-pub fn script_mod(vm: &mut ScriptVm) {
-    crate::module1::script_mod(vm);
-    crate::module2::script_mod(vm);
-    // ... all widget modules
-}
-```
-
-3. **The app.rs** calls them in correct order:
-```rust
-impl App {
-    fn run(vm: &mut ScriptVm) -> Self {
-        crate::makepad_widgets::script_mod(vm);  // Base widgets first
-        crate::script_mod(vm);                    // Your widget modules
-        crate::app_ui::script_mod(vm);            // UI that uses the widgets
-        App::from_script_mod(vm, self::script_mod)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-4. **The app_ui.rs** can then use registered widgets:
-```rust
-script_mod! {
-    use mod.prelude.widgets.*
-    // Now StudioCodeEditor is available from mod.widgets
-    
-    let EditorContent = View {
-        editor := StudioCodeEditor {}
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Cross-Module Sharing via `mod` Object
-
-**IMPORTANT**: `use crate.module.*` does NOT work in script_mod. The `crate.` prefix is not available.
-
-To share definitions between script_mod blocks in different files, store them in the `mod` object:
-
-```rust
-// In app_ui.rs - export to mod.widgets namespace
-script_mod! {
-    use mod.prelude.widgets.*
-    
-    // This makes AppUI available as mod.widgets.AppUI
-    mod.widgets.AppUI = Window{
-        // ...
-    }
-}
-
-// In app.rs - import via mod.widgets
-script_mod! {
-    use mod.prelude.widgets.*
-    use mod.widgets.*  // Now AppUI is in scope
-    
-    load_all_resources() do #(App::script_component(vm)){
-        ui: Root{ AppUI{} }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-The `mod` object is the only way to share data between script_mod blocks.
-
-### Prelude Alias Syntax
-
-When defining a prelude, use `name:mod.path` to create an alias:
-```rust
-mod.prelude.widgets = {
-    ..mod.std,           // Spread all of mod.std into scope
-    theme:mod.theme,     // Create 'theme' as alias for mod.theme
-    draw:mod.draw,       // Create 'draw' as alias for mod.draw
-}
-```
-
-Without the alias (just `mod.theme,`), the module is included but has no name - you can't access it!
-
-### Let Bindings are Local
-
-`let` bindings in script_mod are LOCAL to that script_mod block. They cannot be:
-- Accessed from other script_mod blocks
-- Used as property values directly (e.g., `content +: MyLetBinding` won't work)
-
-To use a `let` binding, instantiate it: `MyLetBinding{}` or store it in `mod.*` for cross-module access.
-
-### Debug Logging with `~`
-
-Use `~expression` to log the value of an expression during script evaluation:
-```rust
-script_mod! {
-    ~mod.theme           // Logs the theme object
-    ~mod.prelude.widgets // Logs what's in the prelude
-    ~some_variable       // Logs a variable's value (or "not found" error)
-}
-```
-
-### Common Pitfalls
-
-**Widget ID references**: Named widget instances use `:=` in the DSL and plain names in Rust id macros:
-- DSL defines `code_block := View { ... }` → Rust uses `id!(code_block)`
-- DSL defines `my_button := Button { ... }` → Rust uses `ids!(my_button)`
-
-1. **Missing `#[source]`**: All Script-derived structs need `#[source] source: ScriptObjectRef`
-
-2. **Template scope**: Templates defined inside Dock aren't available outside; use `let` at script level
-
-3. **Uniform vs Instance**: Use `instance()` for per-widget varying colors (like hover states on backgrounds)
-
-4. **Forgot `+:`**: Without `+:`, you replace the entire property instead of merging
-
-5. **Theme access**: Always `theme.color_x`, never `THEME_COLOR_X` or `(theme.color_x)`
-
-6. **Missing widget registration**: Call `crate::makepad_widgets::script_mod(vm)` in `App::run()` before your own `script_mod`. Note: the old `live_design!` system and its crates are archived under `old/`
-
-7. **Draw shader repr**: Custom draw shaders need `#[repr(C)]` for correct memory layout
-
-8. **DefaultNone derive**: Don't use `DefaultNone` derive - use standard `#[derive(Default)]` with `#[default]` attribute on the `None` variant
-
-9. **Script_mod call order**: Widget modules must be registered BEFORE UI modules that use them. Always call `lib.rs::script_mod` before `app_ui::script_mod`
-
-10. **`pub` keyword invalid in script_mod**: Don't use `pub mod.widgets.X = ...`, just use `mod.widgets.X = ...`. Visibility is controlled by the Rust module system, not script_mod.
-
-11. **Syntax for Inset/Align/Walk**: Use constructor syntax - `margin: Inset{left: 10}` not `margin: {left: 10}`, `align: Align{x: 0.5 y: 0.5}` not `align: {x: 0.5, y: 0.5}`
-
-12. **Cursor values**: Use `cursor: MouseCursor.Hand` not `cursor: Hand` or `cursor: @Hand`
-
-13. **Resource paths**: Use `crate_resource("self://path")` not `dep("crate://self/path")`
-
-14. **Texture declarations in shaders**: Use `tex: texture_2d(float)` not `tex: texture2d`
-
-15. **Enums not exposed to script**: Some Rust enums like `PopupMenuPosition::BelowInput` may not be exposed to script. If you get "not found" errors on enum variants, just remove the property and use the default
-
-17. **Shader `mod` vs `modf`**: The Makepad shader language uses `modf(a, b)` for float modulo, NOT `mod(a, b)`. Similarly, use `atan2(y, x)` not `atan(y, x)` for two-argument arctangent. `atan(x)` (single arg) is also available. `fract(x)` works as expected.
-
-16. **Draw shader struct field ordering**: In `#[repr(C)]` draw shader structs that extend another draw shader via `#[deref]`, NEVER place `#[rust]` or other non-instance data AFTER `DrawVars` and the instance fields. The system uses an unsafe pointer trick in `DrawVars::as_slice()` that reads contiguously past the end of `dyn_instances` into the subsequent `#[live]` fields. Any non-instance data between `DrawVars` and the instance fields will corrupt the GPU instance buffer. Put all extra data (like `#[rust]`, `#[live]` non-instance fields such as resource handles, booleans, etc.) BEFORE the `#[deref]` field, and only `#[live]` instance fields (the ones that map to shader inputs) AFTER.
-    ```rust
-    // CORRECT - non-instance data before deref, instance fields after
-    #[derive(Script, ScriptHook)]
-    #[repr(C)]
-    pub struct MyDrawShader {
-        #[live] pub svg: Option<ScriptHandleRef>,  // non-instance, BEFORE deref
-        #[rust] my_state: bool,                     // non-instance, BEFORE deref
-        #[deref] pub draw_super: DrawVector,        // contains DrawVars + base instance fields
-        #[live] pub tint: Vec4f,                    // instance field, AFTER deref - OK
-    }
-
-    // WRONG - rust data after instance fields breaks the memory layout
-    #[derive(Script, ScriptHook)]
-    #[repr(C)]
-    pub struct MyDrawShader {
-        #[deref] pub draw_super: DrawVector,
-        #[live] pub tint: Vec4f,      // instance field
-        #[rust] my_state: bool,       // BAD: sits between tint and the next shader's fields
-    }
-    ```
-
-18. **Don't put comments or blank lines before the first real code in `script!`/`script_mod!`**: Rust's proc macro token stream strips comments entirely — they produce no tokens. This shifts error column/line info because the span tracking starts from the first actual token. Always start with real code (e.g., `use mod.std.assert`) immediately after the opening brace.
-
-19. **WARNING: Hex colors containing the letter `e` in `script_mod!`**: The Rust tokenizer interprets `e` or `E` in hex color literals as a scientific notation exponent, causing parse errors like `expected at least one digit in exponent`. For example, `#2ecc71` fails because `2e` looks like the start of `2e<exponent>`. **Use the `#x` prefix** to escape this: write `#x2ecc71` instead of `#x2ecc71`. This applies to any hex color where a digit is immediately followed by `e`/`E` (e.g., `#1e1e2e`, `#4466ee`, `#7799ee`, `#bb99ee`). Colors without `e` (like `#ff4444`, `#44cc44`) work fine with plain `#`.
-
-20. **Shader enums**: Prefer `match` on enum values with `_ =>` as the catch-all arm, not `if/else` chains over integer-like values. If enum `match` fails in shader compilation, treat it as a compiler bug: add or extend a `platform/script/test` case and fix the shader compiler path instead of rewriting shader logic to `if/else`.

-# Splash Script Manual (Terse AI Reference)
-
-Splash is Makepad's UI scripting language. It is whitespace-delimited, but Robrix prefers either newlines or commas to separate properties, for readability's sake. 
-**Please always use newlines or commas to separate properties, not just whitespace.**
-
-**Do NOT use `Root{}` or `Window{}`** — those are host-level wrappers handled externally. Your output is the content inside a body/splash widget.
-
----
-
-## NAMING CHILDREN: Use `:=` for dynamic/list properties
-
-In Splash, when you declare a named child widget inside a `let` template (or any container), you use the `:=` operator. This marks the child as a **named/dynamic** property — addressable and overridable per-instance.
-
-- To declare: `label := Label{text: "default"}`
-- To override: `MyTemplate{label.text: "new value"}`
-
-If you write `label:` (colon) instead of `label :=` (colon-equals), the child is a **static** property — not addressable, and overrides fail silently (text becomes invisible).
-
-**Use `:=` for any child you want to reference or override later:** `check :=`, `label :=`, `tag :=`, `title :=`, `body :=`, `icon :=`, `content :=`, etc.

-## 🚫 DO NOT INVENT SYNTAX OR PROPERTIES 🚫
-
-**ONLY use widgets, properties, and syntax documented in this manual.** This code must compile and run — do not:
-
-- Invent new properties (e.g., don't write `background_color:` — use `draw_bg.color:`)
-- Guess at property names (e.g., don't write `font_size:` — use `draw_text.text_style.font_size:`)
-- Make up new widgets that aren't listed here
-- Suggest hypothetical features or syntax that "might work"
-- Use CSS-like property names (no `border-radius`, use `draw_bg.border_radius`)
-
-If you're unsure whether a property exists, **don't use it**. Stick to the exact syntax shown in the examples.
-
----
-
-## 📝 OUTPUT FORMAT: CODE ONLY 📝
-
-**When generating UI, output ONLY the Splash code.** Do not add:
-
-- Explanatory text before or after the code
-- "Here's the UI:" or "This creates..." preambles
-- Suggestions for improvements or alternatives
-- Commentary about what the code does
-
-Just output the raw Splash script starting with `use mod.prelude.widgets.*` — nothing else.

-## ⛔⛔⛔ CRITICAL: YOU MUST SET `height: Fit` ON EVERY CONTAINER ⛔⛔⛔
-
-**STOP. READ THIS. THE #1 MISTAKE IS FORGETTING `height: Fit`.**
-
-```
-┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│  EVERY View, SolidView, RoundedView MUST HAVE height: Fit      │
-│                                                                 │
-│  ✅ View{ flow: Down height: Fit padding: 10 ... }              │
-│                                                                 │
-│  If you forget height: Fit, your UI will be INVISIBLE (0px)    │
-└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-**Why?** The default is `height: Fill`. Your output renders in a `Fit` container. `Fill` inside `Fit` = circular dependency = **0 height**.
-
-**ALWAYS write `height: Fit` immediately after the opening brace:**
-
-```
-View{ height: Fit flow: Down padding: 10
-    Label{text: "Visible!"}
-}
-
-SolidView{ height: Fit width: Fill draw_bg.color: #333
-    Label{text: "Also visible!"}
-}
-
-RoundedView{ height: Fit width: Fill flow: Down spacing: 8
-    Label{text: "Card content"}
-}
-```
-
-**Exceptions:**
-1. Inside a fixed-height parent, `height: Fill` is OK:
-```
-View{ height: 300  // Fixed parent
-    View{ height: Fill  // OK here - fills the 300px
-        Label{text: "I fill the fixed 300px"}
-    }
-}
-```
-2. **MapView** — has no intrinsic height, so `height: Fit` also gives 0px. Use a **fixed pixel height**: `MapView{width: Fill height: 500}`
-
-**TEMPLATE: Copy this pattern for every container:**
-```
-View{ height: Fit ...rest of properties...
-    ...children...
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## ⛔⛔⛔ CRITICAL: USE `width: Fill` ON THE ROOT CONTAINER ⛔⛔⛔
-
-**NEVER use a fixed pixel width (e.g., `width: 400`) on your outermost container.** Your output renders inside a container that provides available width — use `width: Fill` to fill it.
-
-```
-┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
-│  The ROOT container MUST use  width: Fill                       │
-│                                                                 │
-│  ✅ RoundedView{ width: Fill height: Fit ... }                  │
-│  ❌ RoundedView{ width: 400 height: Fit ... }                   │
-│                                                                 │
-│  Fixed widths make your UI a narrow sliver or completely broken │
-└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
-```
-
-**Why?** A fixed width like `width: 400` does not adapt to the available space. Worse, if the parent container is narrower than 400, your content gets clipped. If a parse error occurs anywhere in the code, the entire layout can collapse to near-zero width.
-
-**ALWAYS use `width: Fill` on the root element:**
-```
-RoundedView{ width: Fill height: Fit flow: Down
-    // your content
-}
-```
-
-Fixed pixel widths are fine for **inner elements** like icons, avatars, or specific components — just never on the outermost container.
-
----
-
-## ⛔ CRITICAL: `draw_bg.border_radius` TAKES A FLOAT, NOT AN INSET ⛔
-
-```
-✅ draw_bg.border_radius: 16.0
-❌ draw_bg.border_radius: Inset{top: 0 bottom: 16 left: 0 right: 0}
-```
-
-`border_radius` is a single `f32` value applied uniformly to all corners. Passing an `Inset` or object will cause a parse error that can **silently break your entire layout**.
-
----
-
-## ⚠️ USE STYLED VIEWS, NOT RAW `View{}` ⚠️
-
-**Do NOT use `View{ show_bg: true ... }`** — the raw View has an ugly green test color as its background.
-
-Instead, use these pre-styled container widgets that have proper backgrounds:
-
-| Widget | Use for |
-|--------|---------|
-| `SolidView` | Simple solid color background |
-| `RoundedView` | Rounded corners with optional border |
-| `RectView` | Rectangle with optional border |
-| `RoundedShadowView` | Rounded corners with drop shadow |
-| `RectShadowView` | Rectangle with drop shadow |
-| `CircleView` | Circular shape |
-| `GradientXView` | Horizontal gradient |
-| `GradientYView` | Vertical gradient |
-
-All have `show_bg: true` already set. Set color via `draw_bg.color`:
-
-```
-SolidView{ width: Fill height: Fit draw_bg.color: #334
-    Label{text: "Content here"}
-}
-
-RoundedView{ width: Fill height: Fit draw_bg.color: #445 draw_bg.border_radius: 8.0
-    Label{text: "Rounded card"}
-}
-
-RoundedShadowView{ width: Fill height: Fit draw_bg.color: #556 draw_bg.shadow_radius: 10.0
-    Label{text: "Card with shadow"}
-}
-```
-
-**Use raw `View{}` only when you need no background** (invisible layout container).
-
----
-
-## Script Structure
-
-Every splash script must start with a `use` statement to bring widgets into scope:
-
-```
-use mod.prelude.widgets.*
-
-// Now all widgets (View, Label, Button, etc.) are available
-View{
-    flow: Down
-    height: Fit  // ← ALWAYS set height! Default is Fill which breaks in Fit containers
-    padding: 20
-    Label{text: "Hello world"}
-}
-```
-
-Without `use mod.prelude.widgets.*` at the top, widget names like `View`, `Label`, `Button` etc. will not be found.
-
-### Let bindings for reusable definitions
-
-Use `let` to define reusable widget templates. **`let` bindings must be defined ABOVE (before) the places where they are used.** They are local to the current scope.
-
-**When a template has children you want to customize per-instance, you MUST use `id :=` declarations.** See the critical rule below.
-
-```
-use mod.prelude.widgets.*
-
-// Simple template with NO per-instance children — just style overrides
-let MyHeader = Label{
-    draw_text.color: #fff
-    draw_text.text_style.font_size: 16
-}
-
-// Template WITH per-instance children — MUST use id := declarations
-let MyCard = RoundedView{
-    width: Fill height: Fit
-    padding: 15 flow: Down spacing: 8
-    draw_bg.color: #334
-    draw_bg.border_radius: 8.0
-    title := Label{text: "default" draw_text.color: #fff draw_text.text_style.font_size: 16}
-    body := Label{text: "" draw_text.color: #aaa}
-}
-
-// Override children using id.property syntax
-View{
-    flow: Down height: Fit
-    spacing: 12 padding: 20
-    MyCard{title.text: "First Card" body.text: "Content here"}
-    MyCard{title.text: "Second Card" body.text: "More content"}
-}
-```
-
-### Naming children in templates — the `:=` operator
-
-Children inside a `let` template that you want to override per-instance MUST be declared with `:=`. This is part of the syntax — `label :=` creates a named/dynamic child, `label:` does not.
-
-**Reusable todo/list item with multiple named children:**
-
-```
-let TodoItem = View{
-    width: Fill height: Fit
-    padding: Inset{top: 8 bottom: 8 left: 12 right: 12}
-    flow: Right spacing: 8
-    align: Align{y: 0.5}
-    check := CheckBox{text: ""}
-    label := Label{text: "task" draw_text.color: #ddd draw_text.text_style.font_size: 11}
-    Filler{}
-    tag := Label{text: "" draw_text.color: #888 draw_text.text_style.font_size: 9}
-}
-
-View{
-    flow: Down height: Fit spacing: 4
-    TodoItem{label.text: "Walk the dog" tag.text: "personal"}
-    TodoItem{label.text: "Fix login bug" tag.text: "urgent"}
-    TodoItem{label.text: "Buy groceries" tag.text: "errands"}
-}
-```
-
-You can override ANY property on an `id :=` child: `label.draw_text.color: #f00`, `icon.visible: false`, `subtitle.draw_text.text_style.font_size: 10`, etc.
-
-**⛔ Named children inside anonymous containers are UNREACHABLE.** If a `:=` child is nested inside an anonymous `View{}` (no `:=` on the View), the override path cannot find it. The override fails silently and the default text shows instead:
-
-Every container in the path from root to the child must have a `:=` name. Then use the full dot-path to override:
-```
-let Item = View{
-    flow: Right
-    texts := View{                           // named with :=
-        flow: Down
-        label := Label{text: "default"}
-    }
-}
-Item{texts.label.text: "new text"}           // full path through named containers
-```
-
-## Syntax Fundamentals
-
-```
-// Property assignment
-key: value
-
-// Nested object
-key: Type{ prop1: val1 prop2: val2 }
-
-// Merge (extend parent, don't replace)
-key +: { prop: val }
-
-// Dot-path shorthand
-draw_bg.color: #f00
-// equivalent to: draw_bg +: { color: #f00 }
-
-// Named child (:= declares a dynamic/addressable child)
-my_button := Button{ text: "Click" }
-
-// Anonymous child (no name)
-Label{ text: "hello" }
-
-// Let binding (define BEFORE use, local to current scope)
-let MyThing = View{ height: Fit width: Fill }
-
-// Instantiate let binding
-MyThing{}
-
-// Inherit from existing widget type
-MyView = RoundedView{ height: Fit draw_bg.color: #f00 }
-```
-

-### Draw Batching and `new_batch: true`
-
-In Makepad, widgets that use the same shader are automatically collected into the same GPU draw call for performance. This means if you draw `Label{} SolidView{ Label{} }`, the second Label's text can end up **behind** the SolidView's background — because both Labels are batched into the same text draw call, which executes before the SolidView's background draw call.
-
-**Set `new_batch: true` on any View that has `show_bg: true` AND contains text children.** This tells the View to start a new draw batch, ensuring its background is drawn before its children's text.
-
-**⛔ CRITICAL for hover effects:** If a View has `show_bg: true` with a hover animator (background goes from transparent `#0000` to opaque on hover), you MUST set `new_batch: true` on that View. Without it, when the hover activates the background becomes opaque and covers the text — making text disappear on hover. This is the #1 mistake with hoverable list items.
-
-**When to use `new_batch: true`:**
-- **Any View/SolidView/RoundedView with `show_bg: true` that contains Labels or other text** — always add `new_batch: true`
-- **Hoverable items** — a View with `show_bg: true` + animator hover that contains text MUST have `new_batch: true` or text vanishes on hover
-- **Container of repeated items** that each have their own background — the container itself also needs `new_batch: true`
-- When text appears invisible despite having the correct color — this is almost always a batching issue
-
-```
-// Hoverable item: new_batch ensures text draws on top of hover bg
-let HoverItem = View{
-    width: Fill height: Fit
-    new_batch: true
-    show_bg: true
-    draw_bg +: { color: uniform(#0000) color_hover: uniform(#fff2) hover: instance(0.0) ... }
-    animator: Animator{ hover: { ... } }
-    label := Label{text: "item" draw_text.color: #fff}
-}
-
-// Parent container of repeated items also needs new_batch
-RoundedView{
-    flow: Down height: Fit new_batch: true
-    HoverItem{label.text: "Walk the dog"}
-    HoverItem{label.text: "Do laundry"}
-}
-```
-
-### draw_bg Properties (for SolidView, RoundedView, etc.)
-```

-    color: instance(#334)        // fill color
-    color_2: instance(vec4(-1))  // gradient end (-1 = disabled)
-    gradient_fill_horizontal: uniform(0.0)  // 0=vertical, 1=horizontal

-## Text Widgets
-
-### Label
-Properties: `text`, `draw_text` (DrawText), `align`, `flow`, `padding`, `hover_actions_enabled`
-
-**⚠️ Label does NOT support `animator` or `cursor`.** Adding them has no effect — they are silently ignored. To make hoverable/clickable text, wrap a Label inside a `View` with animator+cursor (see Animator section for example).
-
-```
-Label{ text: "Hello" }
-Label{
-    width: Fit height: Fit
-    draw_text.color: #fff
-    draw_text.text_style.font_size: 12
-    text: "Styled"
-}
-```
-
-**⛔ CRITICAL: Default text color is WHITE.** All text widgets (Label, H1, H2, Button text, etc.) default to white (`#fff`). For light/white themes, you MUST explicitly set `draw_text.color` to a dark color on EVERY text element, or text will be invisible (white-on-white). Example:
-For light themes, always set dark text explicitly:
-```
-RoundedView{ draw_bg.color: #f5f5f5 height: Fit new_batch: true
-    Label{text: "Visible!" draw_text.color: #222}
-}
-```
-
-### Label Variants

-
-### Hr / Vr (dividers)

-Vr{}     // vertical rule
-```
-
-### Filler (spacer)
-```
-Filler{}   // View{width: Fill height: Fill} - pushes siblings apart
-```
-
-**⛔ Do NOT use `Filler{}` next to a `width: Fill` sibling in `flow: Right`.** Both compete for remaining space and split it 50/50, causing text to be clipped halfway. Instead, give the content element `width: Fill` — it naturally pushes `width: Fit` siblings to the edge. Only use `Filler{}` between `width: Fit` siblings:
-```
-// Filler between Fit siblings — correct use
-View{ flow: Right
-    Label{text: "left"}
-    Filler{}
-    Label{text: "right"}
-}
-
-// width: Fill takes remaining space, pushes Fit siblings right — no Filler needed
-View{ flow: Right
-    texts := View{ width: Fill height: Fit flow: Down
-        label := Label{text: "title"}

-3. **Content templates** — `Name := Widget{}` defines content instantiated by tabs
-
-### Dock Properties
-`tab_bar` (TabBar widget for tab headers), `splitter` (Splitter widget), `round_corner`, `drag_target_preview`, `padding`
-
-### DockSplitter
-`axis` (SplitterAxis), `align` (SplitterAlign), `a` (LiveId ref), `b` (LiveId ref)

-
-## Shader System
-
-### Instance vs Uniform
-```
-draw_bg +: {
-    hover: instance(0.0)      // per-draw-call, animatable by Animator
-    color: uniform(#fff)       // shared across all instances of this shader variant
-    tex: texture_2d(float)     // texture sampler
-    my_var: varying(vec2(0))   // vertex→pixel interpolated (set in vertex shader)
-}
-```
-**When to use each:**
-- `instance()` — state that varies per widget (hover, down, focus, active, disabled), per-widget colors, scale/pan. Driven by the Animator system.
-- `uniform()` — theme constants shared by all instances (border_size, border_radius, theme colors). Cannot be animated.
-
-### Pixel Shader
-```
-draw_bg +: {
-    pixel: fn() {
-        let sdf = Sdf2d.viewport(self.pos * self.rect_size)
-        sdf.box(0. 0. self.rect_size.x self.rect_size.y 4.0)
-        sdf.fill(#f00)
-        return sdf.result  // already premultiplied by sdf.fill(), no Pal.premul() needed
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**⛔ CRITICAL: Premultiply colors returned from pixel()!** When you hand-code a `pixel: fn()` that returns a color (not via `sdf.result`), you MUST premultiply the alpha. Without this, colors with alpha (e.g. `#ffffff08`) will render as bright white instead of a subtle tint. Always wrap your return value in `Pal.premul()`:
-```
-pixel: fn(){
-    return Pal.premul(self.color.mix(self.color_hover, self.hover))
-}
-```
-Note: `sdf.fill()` / `sdf.stroke()` already premultiply internally, so `return sdf.result` is safe without extra `Pal.premul()`.
-
-**Common pattern — fill + border stroke:**
-```
-pixel: fn() {
-    let sdf = Sdf2d.viewport(self.pos * self.rect_size)
-    sdf.box(1. 1. self.rect_size.x - 2. self.rect_size.y - 2. 4.0)
-    sdf.fill_keep(self.color)           // fill the shape, keep it for stroke
-    sdf.stroke(self.border_color, 1.0)  // stroke the same shape's outline
-    return sdf.result
-}
-```
-
-### SDF Primitives
-```
-sdf.circle(cx cy radius)
-sdf.rect(x y w h)
-sdf.box(x y w h border_radius)
-sdf.box_all(x y w h r_lt r_rt r_rb r_lb)   // per-corner radius
-sdf.box_x(x y w h r_left r_right)
-sdf.box_y(x y w h r_top r_bottom)
-sdf.hexagon(cx cy radius)
-sdf.hline(y half_height)
-sdf.arc_round_caps(cx cy radius start_angle end_angle thickness)
-sdf.arc_flat_caps(cx cy radius start_angle end_angle thickness)
-```
-
-### SDF Path Operations
-```
-sdf.move_to(x y)
-sdf.line_to(x y)
-sdf.close_path()
-```
-
-### SDF Combinators
-
-These operate on the **current** shape and the **previous** shape. Draw two primitives, then combine:
-```
-sdf.union()        // merge shapes together (min of distances)
-sdf.intersect()    // keep only overlap (max of distances)
-sdf.subtract()     // cut current shape from previous shape
-sdf.gloop(k)       // smooth/gooey union with rounding factor k
-sdf.blend(k)       // linear blend: 0.0 = previous shape, 1.0 = current shape
-```
-Example — ring (circle with hole):
-```
-sdf.circle(cx cy outer_radius)
-sdf.circle(cx cy inner_radius)
-sdf.subtract()
-sdf.fill(#fff)
-```
-Example — blend for toggle animation:
-```
-sdf.circle(x y r)         // ring shape (from subtract above)
-sdf.circle(x y r)         // solid circle
-sdf.blend(self.active)    // animate between ring (0) and solid (1)
-```
-
-### SDF Drawing
-```
-sdf.fill(color)           // fill and reset shape
-sdf.fill_keep(color)      // fill, keep shape for subsequent stroke
-sdf.stroke(color width)   // stroke and reset shape
-sdf.stroke_keep(color w)  // stroke, keep shape
-sdf.glow(color width)     // additive glow around shape, reset
-sdf.glow_keep(color w)    // additive glow, keep shape
-sdf.clear(color)          // clear result buffer with color
-```
-
-### SDF Transforms
-```
-sdf.translate(x y)
-sdf.rotate(angle cx cy)
-sdf.scale(factor cx cy)
-```
-
-### Built-in Shader Variables
-```
-self.pos              // vec2: normalized position [0,1] (computed from clipping in vertex shader)
-self.rect_size        // vec2: pixel size of the drawn rect
-self.rect_pos         // vec2: pixel position of the drawn rect
-self.dpi_factor       // float: display DPI factor for high-DPI screens
-self.draw_pass.time   // float: elapsed time in seconds (for continuous animation)
-self.draw_pass.dpi_dilate  // float: DPI dilation factor for pixel-perfect strokes
-self.draw_depth       // float: base depth for z-ordering
-self.draw_zbias       // float: z-bias offset added to depth
-self.geom_pos         // vec2: raw geometry position [0,1] (before clipping)
-```
-
-### Vertex Shader
-
-Most widgets use the default vertex shader from DrawQuad. You can override it for custom geometry expansion (e.g., shadows) or DPI-aware texture coordinates:
-```
-draw_bg +: {
-    // custom varying to pass data from vertex to pixel shader
-    my_scale: varying(vec2(0))
-
-    vertex: fn() {
-        let dpi = self.dpi_factor
-        let ceil_size = ceil(self.rect_size * dpi) / dpi
-        self.my_scale = self.rect_size / ceil_size
-        return self.clip_and_transform_vertex(self.rect_pos self.rect_size)
-    }
-    pixel: fn() {
-        // my_scale is available here, interpolated from vertex
-        return Pal.premul(self.color)
-    }
-}
-```
-`self.clip_and_transform_vertex(rect_pos rect_size)` is the standard helper that handles clipping, view shift (scrolling), and camera projection. Always call it in custom vertex shaders.
-
-### Custom Shader Functions
-
-You can define named functions on a draw shader for reuse:
-```
-draw_bg +: {
-    get_color: fn() {
-        return self.color
-            .mix(self.color_hover, self.hover)
-            .mix(self.color_down, self.down)
-    }
-    pixel: fn() {
-        return Pal.premul(self.get_color())
-    }
-}
-```
-Functions with parameters:
-```
-draw_bg +: {
-    get_color_at: fn(scale: vec2, pan: vec2) {
-        return self.my_texture.sample(self.pos * scale + pan)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Mutable Variables
-
-Use `let mut` to declare mutable variables in shader code:
-```
-pixel: fn() {
-    let mut color = self.color
-    if self.hover > 0.5 {
-        color = self.color_hover
-    }
-    return Pal.premul(color)
-}
-```
-
-### Conditionals and Match
-
-Shaders support `if`/`else` and `match` on enum instance variables:
-```
-pixel: fn() {
-    let sdf = Sdf2d.viewport(self.pos * self.rect_size)
-    if self.is_vertical > 0.5 {
-        sdf.box(1. self.rect_size.y * self.scroll_pos 8. self.rect_size.y * self.handle_size 2.)
-    } else {
-        sdf.box(self.rect_size.x * self.scroll_pos 1. self.rect_size.x * self.handle_size 8. 2.)
-    }
-    sdf.fill(self.color)
-    return sdf.result
-}
-```
-
-### Texture Sampling
-
-Declare texture samplers and sample them in pixel shaders:
-```
-draw_bg +: {
-    my_tex: texture_2d(float)
-    pixel: fn() {
-        let color = self.my_tex.sample(self.pos)          // standard 2D sampling
-        return Pal.premul(color)
-    }
-}
-```
-Alternative sampling functions:
-```
-sample2d(self.my_tex, uv)        // free-function form of texture sampling
-sample2d_rt(self.image, uv)      // sample from render-target texture (handles Y-flip on some platforms)
-```
-
-### Color Operations
-```
-mix(color1 color2 factor)                   // linear interpolation (free function)
-color1.mix(color2 factor)                   // method chaining form
-#f00.mix(#0f0 0.5).mix(#00f hover)          // multi-chain for state interpolation
-Pal.premul(color)                           // premultiply alpha — REQUIRED when returning from pixel()!
-Pal.hsv2rgb(vec4(h s v 1.0))               // HSV to RGB conversion
-Pal.rgb2hsv(color)                          // RGB to HSV conversion
-Pal.iq(t a b c d)                           // Inigo Quilez cosine color palette
-Pal.iq0(t) .. Pal.iq7(t)                   // pre-built cosine color palettes
-```
-⚠️ Always wrap your final color in `Pal.premul()` when returning from `pixel: fn()` (unless returning `sdf.result` which is already premultiplied).
-
-**Gradient pattern** — use `vec4(-1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0)` as a sentinel for "no gradient", then check with `if self.color_2.x > -0.5`:
-```
-color_2: uniform(vec4(-1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0))   // sentinel: no gradient
-pixel: fn() {
-    let mut fill = self.color
-    if self.color_2.x > -0.5 {
-        let dither = Math.random_2d(self.pos.xy) * 0.04
-        let dir = self.pos.y + dither
-        fill = mix(self.color, self.color_2, dir)
-    }
-    return Pal.premul(fill)
-}
-```
-
-### SDF Anti-aliasing
-
-The `sdf.aa` field controls anti-aliasing sharpness. Default is computed from viewport. Set higher for sharper edges:
-```
-pixel: fn() {
-    let sdf = Sdf2d.viewport(self.pos * self.rect_size)
-    sdf.aa = sdf.aa * 3.0   // sharper edges (useful for small icons)
-    sdf.move_to(c.x - sz, c.y - sz)
-    sdf.line_to(c.x + sz, c.y + sz)
-    sdf.stroke(#fff, 0.5 + 0.5 * self.draw_pass.dpi_dilate)
-    return sdf.result
-}
-```
-
-### SDF fill_premul / fill_keep_premul
-
-When filling with a color that is already premultiplied (e.g., from a texture sample or render target):
-```
-sdf.fill_premul(color)           // fill with premultiplied color, reset shape
-sdf.fill_keep_premul(color)      // fill with premultiplied color, keep shape
-```
-
-### GaussShadow (box shadows)
-```
-GaussShadow.box_shadow(lower upper point sigma)                    // fast rectangular shadow
-GaussShadow.rounded_box_shadow(lower upper point sigma corner)     // rounded rectangle shadow
-```
-Used in shadow view variants (`RectShadowView`, `RoundedShadowView`) to render drop shadows efficiently.
-
-### Math Utilities
-```
-// Custom Makepad functions
-Math.random_2d(vec2)      // pseudo-random 0-1 from vec2 seed (for dithering)
-Math.rotate_2d(v angle)   // 2D rotation of vector by angle
-
-// Constants
-PI                         // 3.14159...
-E                          // 2.71828...
-TORAD                      // degrees→radians multiplier (0.01745...)
-GOLDEN                     // golden ratio (1.61803...)

-```
-
-## Animator
-
-The animator drives `instance()` variables on draw shaders over time, enabling hover effects, transitions, and looping animations.
-
-### ⛔ CRITICAL: Only Certain Widgets Support Animator ⛔
-
-**NOT all widgets have an `animator` field.** If you add `animator: Animator{...}` to a widget that doesn't support it, the definition is **silently ignored** — no error, no hover, nothing happens.
-
-**Widgets that SUPPORT animator:** `View`, `SolidView`, `RoundedView`, `ScrollXView`, `ScrollYView`, `ScrollXYView`, `Button`, `ButtonFlat`, `ButtonFlatter`, `CheckBox`, `Toggle`, `RadioButton`, `LinkLabel`, `TextInput`
-
-**Widgets that DO NOT support animator:** `Label`, `H1`–`H4`, `P`, `TextBox`, `Image`, `Icon`, `Markdown`, `Html`, `Slider`, `DropDown`, `Splitter`, `Hr`, `Filler`
-
-**To make a Label hoverable, wrap it in a View:**
-```
-View{
-    width: Fill height: Fit
-    cursor: MouseCursor.Hand
-    show_bg: true
-    draw_bg +: {
-        color: uniform(#0000)
-        color_hover: uniform(#fff2)
-        hover: instance(0.0)
-        pixel: fn(){
-            return Pal.premul(self.color.mix(self.color_hover, self.hover))
-        }
-    }
-    animator: Animator{
-        hover: {
-            default: @off
-            off: AnimatorState{
-                from: {all: Forward {duration: 0.15}}
-                apply: {draw_bg: {hover: 0.0}}
-            }
-            on: AnimatorState{
-                from: {all: Forward {duration: 0.15}}
-                apply: {draw_bg: {hover: 1.0}}
-            }
-        }
-    }
-    Label{text: "hoverable item" draw_text.color: #fff}
-}
-```
-
-### Structure
-
-```
-animator: Animator{
-    <group_name>: {
-        default: @<state_name>       // initial state (@ prefix required)
-        <state_name>: AnimatorState{
-            from: { ... }            // transition timing
-            ease: <EaseFunction>     // optional ease override
-            redraw: true             // optional: force redraw each frame
-            apply: { ... }           // target values
-        }
-        <state_name>: AnimatorState{ ... }
-    }
-    <group_name>: { ... }           // multiple groups allowed
-}
-```
-
-### Groups
-Each group is an independent animation track (e.g. `hover`, `focus`, `active`, `disabled`, `time`). Multiple groups animate simultaneously without interfering.
-
-### The `from` Block
-Controls when/how the transition plays. Keys are state names being transitioned FROM, or `all` as catch-all:
-```
-from: {all: Forward {duration: 0.2}}           // from any state
-from: {all: Snap}                               // instant from any state
-from: {
-    all: Forward {duration: 0.1}                // default
-    down: Forward {duration: 0.01}              // faster when coming from "down"
-}
-```
-
-### The `apply` Block
-Target values to animate TO. The structure mirrors the widget's property tree. Keys are the widget's sub-objects (like `draw_bg`, `draw_text`), values are the shader instance variables to animate:
-
-```
-apply: {
-    draw_bg: {hover: 1.0}                      // animate draw_bg.hover to 1.0
-    draw_text: {hover: 1.0}                     // animate draw_text.hover to 1.0
-}
-```
-
-Multiple properties in one block:
-```
-apply: {
-    draw_bg: {down: 1.0, hover: 0.5}
-    draw_text: {down: 1.0, hover: 0.5}
-}
-```
-
-For non-draw properties (e.g. a float field on the widget itself):
-```
-apply: {
-    opened: 1.0                                 // animate widget's own "opened" field
-    active: 0.0                                 // animate widget's own "active" field
-}
-```
-
-### snap() — Instant Jump
-Wrapping a value in `snap()` makes it jump instantly instead of interpolating:
-```
-apply: {
-    draw_bg: {down: snap(1.0), hover: 1.0}     // down jumps, hover interpolates
-}
-```
-
-### timeline() — Keyframes
-Animate through multiple values over the duration using time/value pairs (times 0.0–1.0):
-```
-apply: {
-    draw_bg: {anim_time: timeline(0.0 0.0  1.0 1.0)}   // linear 0→1
-}
-```
-

-
-## Common Patterns
-
-**REMINDER: Every container below uses `height: Fit` — you must too!**
-
-### Colored card
-```
-RoundedView{
-    width: Fill height: Fit
-    padding: 15 flow: Down spacing: 8
-    draw_bg.color: #445
-    draw_bg.border_radius: 8.0
-    Label{text: "Card Title" draw_text.color: #fff}
-}
-```
-
-### Sidebar + content
-```
-View{
-    width: Fill height: Fill
-    flow: Right
-    SolidView{
-        width: 250 height: Fill
-        draw_bg.color: #222
-        flow: Down padding: 10
-    }
-    View{
-        width: Fill height: Fill
-        flow: Down padding: 15
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Sidebar + content using Splitter
-```
-Splitter{
-    axis: SplitterAxis.Horizontal
-    align: SplitterAlign.FromA(250.0)
-    a := sidebar
-    b := main
-}
-sidebar := View{ width: Fill height: Fill flow: Down padding: 10 }
-main := View{ width: Fill height: Fill flow: Down padding: 15 }
-```
-
-### Overlay (modal/tooltip pattern)
-```
-View{ height: Fit
-    flow: Overlay
-    View{ height: Fit width: Fill ... }   // base content
-    View{ height: Fit align: Center ... } // overlay on top
-}
-```
-
-### Scrollable list
-```
-ScrollYView{
-    width: Fill height: Fill
-    flow: Down padding: 10 spacing: 8
-    Label{text: "Item 1"}
-    Label{text: "Item 2"}
-}
-```
-
-### Custom shader widget
-Note: `View{ show_bg: true }` is OK here because we provide a complete custom `pixel` shader that overrides the ugly default.
-```
-View{
-    width: 200 height: 200
-    show_bg: true
-    draw_bg +: {
-        pixel: fn(){
-            let sdf = Sdf2d.viewport(self.pos * self.rect_size)
-            sdf.circle(
-                self.rect_size.x * 0.5
-                self.rect_size.y * 0.5
-                min(self.rect_size.x self.rect_size.y) * 0.4
-            )
-            sdf.fill(#f80)
-            return sdf.result  // already premultiplied by sdf.fill(), no Pal.premul() needed
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Hoverable list item
-Label does NOT support animator. Wrap it in a View to get hover effects. Use `label :=` to declare the inner Label so each instance can override its text via `label.text:`:
-```
-let HoverItem = View{
-    width: Fill height: Fit
-    padding: 8
-    cursor: MouseCursor.Hand
-    new_batch: true
-    show_bg: true
-    draw_bg +: {
-        color: uniform(#0000)
-        color_hover: uniform(#fff2)
-        hover: instance(0.0)
-        pixel: fn(){
-            return self.color.mix(self.color_hover, self.hover)
-        }
-    }
-    animator: Animator{
-        hover: {
-            default: @off
-            off: AnimatorState{
-                from: {all: Forward {duration: 0.15}}
-                apply: {draw_bg: {hover: 0.0}}
-            }
-            on: AnimatorState{
-                from: {all: Forward {duration: 0.15}}
-                apply: {draw_bg: {hover: 1.0}}
-            }
-        }
-    }
-    label := Label{text: "item" draw_text.color: #fff}
-}
-
-RoundedView{
-    width: 300 height: Fit
-    padding: 10 flow: Down spacing: 4
-    new_batch: true
-    draw_bg.color: #222
-    draw_bg.border_radius: 5.0
-    Label{text: "Todo Items" draw_text.color: #fff}
-    HoverItem{label.text: "Walk the dog"}
-    HoverItem{label.text: "Do laundry"}
-    HoverItem{label.text: "Buy groceries"}
-}
-```
-
-### Toolbar pattern
-```
-RectShadowView{
-    width: Fill height: 38.
-    flow: Down padding: theme.mspace_2
-    draw_bg +: {
-        shadow_color: theme.color_shadow
-        shadow_radius: 7.5
-        color: theme.color_fg_app
-    }
-    content := View{
-        height: Fit width: Fill
-        flow: Right spacing: theme.space_2
-        align: Align{x: 0. y: 0.5}
-        ButtonFlatter{text: "File"}
-        ButtonFlatter{text: "Edit"}
-        Filler{}
-        ButtonFlat{text: "Run"}
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## HTTP Requests (`net.http_request`)
-
-Make async HTTP requests from script. Responses arrive via callbacks.
-
-### GET request
-```
-let req = net.HttpRequest{
-    url: "https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=rust+programming"
-    method: net.HttpMethod.GET
-    headers: {"User-Agent": "MakepadApp/1.0"}
-}
-net.http_request(req) do net.HttpEvents{
-    on_response: |res| {
-        let text = res.body.to_string()       // body as string
-        let json = res.body.parse_json()      // or parse as JSON
-        // res.status_code                    // HTTP status (200, 404, etc.)
-    }
-    on_error: |e| {
-        // e.message                          // error description
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### POST request with JSON body
-```
-let req = net.HttpRequest{
-    url: "https://api.example.com/data"
-    method: net.HttpMethod.POST
-    headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"}
-    body: {key: "value" count: 42}.to_json()
-}
-net.http_request(req) do net.HttpEvents{
-    on_response: |res| { /* ... */ }
-    on_error: |e| { /* ... */ }
-}
-```
-
-### Streaming response
-```
-let req = net.HttpRequest{
-    url: "https://api.example.com/stream"
-    method: net.HttpMethod.POST
-    is_streaming: true
-    body: {stream: true}.to_json()
-}
-var total = ""
-net.http_request(req) do net.HttpEvents{
-    on_stream: |res| {
-        total += res.body.to_string()         // called per chunk
-    }
-    on_complete: |res| {
-        // stream finished, total has all data
-    }
-    on_error: |e| { /* ... */ }
-}
-```
-
-### HttpMethod values
-`net.HttpMethod.GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`, `HEAD`, `PATCH`, `OPTIONS`
-
-### Cookie-free search endpoints
-DuckDuckGo provides HTML endpoints that return static HTML — no cookies, no JS, no API key:
-- `https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=QUERY` — div-based, CSS classes for results
-- `https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=QUERY` — table-based, ~10kB compressed
-
-Both require a `User-Agent` header. Results can be parsed with `parse_html()`.
-
----
-
-## HTML Parsing (`parse_html`)
-
-Parse an HTML string and query it with CSS-like selectors. Call `.parse_html()` on any string.
-
-### Basic usage
-```
-let html = "<div class='box' id='main'><p>Hello</p><p class='bold'>World</p></div>"
-let doc = html.parse_html()
-```
-
-### Querying elements
-```
-doc.query("p")                // all <p> elements (returns html handle)
-doc.query("p[0]")             // first <p> element
-doc.query("#main")            // element with id "main"
-doc.query("p.bold")           // <p> with class "bold"
-doc.query("div > p")          // direct children
-doc.query("div p")            // descendants
-doc.query("div > *")          // all direct children (wildcard)
-doc.query("div").query("p")   // chained queries
-```
-
-### Extracting data
-```
-doc.query("p[0]").text         // text content: "Hello"
-doc.query("div@class")        // attribute value: "box"
-doc.query("div@id")           // attribute value: "main"
-doc.query("p.text")           // array of text from all <p>: ["Hello", "World"]
-doc.query("p@class")          // array of class attrs from all <p>
-```
-
-### Properties on html handles
-```
-handle.length                  // number of matched elements
-handle.text                    // text content (concatenated)
-handle.html                    // reconstructed HTML string
-handle.attr("name")            // attribute value (string or nil)
-handle.array()                 // convert to array of element handles
-```
-
-### Iterating results
-```
-let items = doc.query("a.result__a").array()
-for item, i in items {
-    let title = item.text
-    let href = item.attr("href")
-    // ... use title and href
-}
-```
-
-### Full example: search DuckDuckGo and parse results
-```
-fn do_search(query) {
-    let req = net.HttpRequest{
-        url: "https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=" + query
-        method: net.HttpMethod.GET
-        headers: {"User-Agent": "MakepadApp/1.0"}
-    }
-    net.http_request(req) do net.HttpEvents{
-        on_response: |res| {
-            let doc = res.body.to_string().parse_html()
-            let links = doc.query("a.result__a").array()
-            let snippets = doc.query("a.result__snippet").array()
-            for link, i in links {
-                let title = link.text
-                let url = link.attr("href")
-                let snippet = if i < snippets.len() snippets[i].text else ""
-                // ... build result list
-            }
-        }
-        on_error: |e| { /* handle error */ }
-    }
-}
-```

-## Notes
-
-- **⛔ Default text color is WHITE.** For light/white themes, set `draw_text.color` to a dark color (e.g. `#222`, `#333`) on ALL text elements. Otherwise text is invisible (white-on-white).
-- **⛔ Set `new_batch: true` on ANY View with `show_bg: true` that contains text.** Makepad batches same-shader widgets into one draw call. Without `new_batch: true`, text renders behind backgrounds (invisible text). This is especially critical for **hoverable items** — text vanishes on hover when the background becomes opaque. Set it on BOTH the item template AND the parent container.
-- **⚠️ ALWAYS set `height: Fit` on containers!** The default is `height: Fill` which causes 0-height (invisible UI) in this context.
-- **⛔ Named children in `let` templates MUST use `:=`:** `label := Label{...}`, `tag := Label{...}`, `check := CheckBox{...}`. Override with `Item{label.text: "x"}`. Without `:=`, text is invisible.
-- **⛔ Named children inside anonymous Views are UNREACHABLE.** If `label :=` is inside an unnamed `View{}`, `Item{label.text: "x"}` fails silently. Give the View a name: `texts := View{ label := Label{...} }` then override with `Item{texts.label.text: "x"}`.
-- **🚫 DO NOT invent properties or syntax.** Only use what's documented in this manual. No guessing.
-- No commas between sibling properties (space or newline separated)
-- **Use commas when values contain negative numbers or could be parsed as expressions**: `vec4(-1.0, -1.0, -1.0, -1.0)` NOT `vec4(-1.0 -1.0 -1.0 -1.0)` (the parser would see `-1.0 -1.0` as subtraction). Safe rule: always use commas inside `vec2()`, `vec4()`, and array literals when any value is negative or an expression
-- `+:` merges with parent; without it, replaces entirely
-- `:=` declares named/dynamic/template children (e.g. `label := Label{...}`)
-- Bare numbers for Size become `Fixed(n)`: `width: 200` = `width: Size.Fixed(200)`
-- Resources: `crate_resource("self://relative/path")`
-- Function args in shaders: space-separated, no commas: `sdf.box(0. 0. 100. 100. 5.0)`
-- `if` in shaders: `if condition { ... } else { ... }` (no parens around condition)
-- `for` in shaders: `for i in 0..4 { ... }`
-- `match` in shaders: `match self.block_type { Type.A => { ... } Type.B => { ... } }`
-- Inherit + override: `theme.mspace_1{left: theme.space_2}` — takes mspace_1 but overrides left
-- Strings use double quotes only: `text: "Hello"`. No single quotes, no backticks.
-
-## Guidelines
-
-- Use runsplash blocks for anything visual: UI mockups, styled cards, layouts, color palettes, shader demos, button groups, form layouts, etc.
-- You can have multiple runsplash blocks in a single response, mixed with normal markdown text.
-- Keep splash blocks focused — one concept per block when possible.
-- Use `let` bindings at the top of a block to define reusable styled components, then instantiate them below.
-- Use theme variables (theme.color_bg_app, theme.space_2, etc.) for consistent styling.
-- For simple text answers, just use normal markdown without runsplash blocks.
-
-## Vector Widget (SVG-like Drawing)
-
-The `Vector{}` widget renders SVG-like vector graphics declaratively in Splash. It supports paths, shapes, gradients, filters, groups, transforms, and animations — all without loading external SVG files.
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```
-Vector{width: 200 height: 200 viewbox: vec4(0 0 200 200)
-    Rect{x: 10 y: 10 w: 80 h: 60 rx: 5 ry: 5 fill: #f80}
-    Circle{cx: 150 cy: 50 r: 30 fill: #08f}
-    Line{x1: 10 y1: 150 x2: 190 y2: 150 stroke: #fff stroke_width: 2}
-}
-```
-
-The `viewbox` property defines the coordinate space as `vec4(x y width height)`. The widget sizes itself to fit the viewbox when `width: Fit` and `height: Fit` (the defaults), or you can set explicit pixel dimensions.
-
-### Shape Types
-
-All shapes support these common style properties:
-
-| Property | Type | Default | Notes |
-|----------|------|---------|-------|
-| `fill` | color, Gradient, RadGradient, Tween, or `false` | inherited | `false` = no fill |
-| `fill_opacity` | f32 | 1.0 | multiplied with fill alpha |
-| `stroke` | color, Gradient, or Tween | none | outline color |
-| `stroke_width` | f32 or Tween | 0.0 | outline thickness |
-| `stroke_opacity` | f32 or Tween | 1.0 | outline alpha |
-| `opacity` | f32 or Tween | 1.0 | overall shape opacity |
-| `stroke_linecap` | string | "butt" | "butt", "round", "square" |
-| `stroke_linejoin` | string | "miter" | "miter", "round", "bevel" |
-| `transform` | Transform or array | identity | see Transforms section |
-| `filter` | Filter ref | none | see Filters section |
-| `shader_id` | f32 | 0.0 | for custom GPU effects on Svg widget |
-
-#### Path — SVG path data
-```
-Path{d: "M 10 10 L 100 100 C 50 50 200 200 300 300 Z" fill: #f00 stroke: #000 stroke_width: 2}
-```
-The `d` property accepts standard SVG path data strings (M, L, C, Q, A, Z, etc.).
-
-#### Rect — Rectangle
-```
-Rect{x: 10 y: 20 w: 100 h: 50 rx: 5 ry: 5 fill: #f80 stroke: #fff stroke_width: 1}
-```
-
-#### Circle
-```
-Circle{cx: 50 cy: 50 r: 40 fill: #08f}
-```
-
-#### Ellipse
-```
-Ellipse{cx: 100 cy: 50 rx: 80 ry: 40 fill: #0f8}
-```
-
-#### Line
-```
-Line{x1: 10 y1: 10 x2: 190 y2: 190 stroke: #fff stroke_width: 2 stroke_linecap: "round"}
-```
-
-#### Polyline — open connected segments
-```
-Polyline{pts: [10 10 50 80 100 20 150 90] fill: false stroke: #ff0 stroke_width: 2}
-```
-
-#### Polygon — closed connected segments
-```
-Polygon{pts: [100 10 40 198 190 78 10 78 160 198] fill: #f0f stroke: #fff stroke_width: 1}
-```
-
-### Groups
-
-`Group{}` composes shapes and applies shared styles/transforms to all children:
-
-```
-Vector{width: 200 height: 200 viewbox: vec4(0 0 200 200)
-    Group{opacity: 0.7 transform: Rotate{deg: 15}
-        Rect{x: 20 y: 20 w: 60 h: 60 fill: #f00}
-        Circle{cx: 130 cy: 50 r: 30 fill: #0f0}
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Groups can be nested. Style properties on a Group (fill, stroke, etc.) apply to its children.
-
-### Gradients
-
-Define gradients as `let` bindings and reference them in `fill` or `stroke`:
-
-#### Linear Gradient
-```
-let my_grad = Gradient{x1: 0 y1: 0 x2: 1 y2: 1
-    Stop{offset: 0 color: #ff0000}
-    Stop{offset: 0.5 color: #00ff00}
-    Stop{offset: 1 color: #0000ff}
-}
-
-Vector{width: 200 height: 100 viewbox: vec4(0 0 200 100)
-    Rect{x: 0 y: 0 w: 200 h: 100 fill: my_grad}
-}
-```
-
-Gradient coordinates (`x1`, `y1`, `x2`, `y2`) are in the range 0–1 (object bounding box). `Stop` children define color stops with `offset` (0–1), `color`, and optional `opacity`.
-
-#### Radial Gradient
-```
-let radial = RadGradient{cx: 0.5 cy: 0.5 r: 0.5
-    Stop{offset: 0 color: #fff}
-    Stop{offset: 1 color: #000}
-}
-
-Vector{width: 200 height: 200 viewbox: vec4(0 0 200 200)
-    Circle{cx: 100 cy: 100 r: 90 fill: radial}
-}
-```
-
-RadGradient properties: `cx`, `cy` (center, default 0.5), `r` (radius, default 0.5), `fx`, `fy` (focal point, defaults to center).
-
-#### Gradient stops with opacity
-```
-let glass = Gradient{x1: 0 y1: 0 x2: 1 y2: 1
-    Stop{offset: 0 color: #xffffff opacity: 0.35}
-    Stop{offset: 0.4 color: #xffffff opacity: 0.08}
-    Stop{offset: 1 color: #xffffff opacity: 0.2}
-}
-```
-
-### Filters
-
-Define a `Filter` with `DropShadow` effects:
-
-```
-let shadow = Filter{
-    DropShadow{dx: 2 dy: 4 blur: 6 color: #000000 opacity: 0.5}
-}
-
-Vector{width: 200 height: 200 viewbox: vec4(0 0 200 200)
-    Rect{x: 40 y: 40 w: 120 h: 120 rx: 10 ry: 10 fill: #445 filter: shadow}
-}
-```
-
-DropShadow properties: `dx` (x offset), `dy` (y offset), `blur` (blur radius), `color`, `opacity`.
-
-### Transforms
-
-Transforms can be applied to any shape or group via the `transform` property. Use a single transform or an array of transforms (composed left-to-right):
-
-#### Static transforms
-```
-// Single transform
-Rect{x: 0 y: 0 w: 50 h: 50 fill: #f00 transform: Rotate{deg: 45}}
-
-// Multiple transforms (composed left-to-right)
-Group{transform: [Translate{x: 100 y: 50} Scale{x: 2 y: 2} Rotate{deg: 30}]
-    Circle{cx: 0 cy: 0 r: 20 fill: #0ff}
-}
-```
-
-Available transforms:
-- `Rotate{deg: 45}` — rotation in degrees. Optional `cx`, `cy` for rotation center
-- `Scale{x: 2 y: 1.5}` — scale factors. If only `x` is given, `y` defaults to the same value
-- `Translate{x: 100 y: 50}` — translation offset
-- `SkewX{deg: 30}` — horizontal skew
-- `SkewY{deg: 15}` — vertical skew
-
-#### Animated transforms
-Add `dur`, `from`, `to` (or `values`), and optionally `loop_` and `begin` to animate:
-
-```
-// Continuously rotating shape
-Circle{cx: 100 cy: 100 r: 30 fill: #0ff
-    transform: Rotate{deg: 0 dur: 2.0 from: 0 to: 360 loop_: true}
-}
-
-// Animated scale
-Rect{x: 50 y: 50 w: 40 h: 40 fill: #f80
-    transform: Scale{x: 1 dur: 1.5 from: 1 to: 2 loop_: true}
-}
-```
-
-### Tween (Property Animation)
-
-Use `Tween{}` to animate individual shape properties (fill, stroke, d, x, y, r, etc.):
-
-```
-// Animated path morphing
-Path{d: Tween{
-    dur: 2.0 loop_: true
-    values: ["M 10 80 Q 50 10 100 80" "M 10 80 Q 50 150 100 80"]
-} fill: #f0f}
-
-// Animated fill color
-Circle{cx: 50 cy: 50 r: 30
-    fill: Tween{dur: 1.5 loop_: true from: #ff0000 to: #0000ff}
-}
-
-// Animated stroke width
-Rect{x: 10 y: 10 w: 80 h: 80
-    fill: false stroke: #fff
-    stroke_width: Tween{dur: 2.0 loop_: true from: 1 to: 5}
-}
-```
-
-Tween properties:
-- `from`, `to` — start and end values
-- `values` — array of keyframe values (alternative to from/to)
-- `dur` — duration in seconds
-- `begin` — start delay in seconds
-- `loop_` — `true` for indefinite, or a number for repeat count
-- `calc` — "linear" (default), "discrete", "paced", "spline"
-- `fill_mode` — "remove" (default) or "freeze"

-### Vector vs Svg Widget
-
-| | `Vector{}` | `Svg{}` |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Input** | Declarative shapes in Splash script | External `.svg` file via resource handle |
-| **Use case** | Programmatic/inline vector graphics | Loading pre-made SVG assets |
-| **Gradients** | `let` bindings, referenced by name | Parsed from SVG `<defs>` |
-| **Animation** | `Tween{}` on properties, animated transforms | Parsed from SVG `<animate>` elements |
-| **Custom shaders** | `shader_id` + custom `get_color` on Svg | Same mechanism via `draw_svg +:` |
-| **Syntax** | `Vector{viewbox: ... Path{} Rect{}}` | `Svg{draw_svg +: {svg: crate_resource("self://file.svg")}}` |
-
-Use `Vector{}` when you want to define graphics inline in your UI script. Use `Svg{}` when loading existing SVG files as assets.
-
-### Hex Color Escaping Reminder
-
-When using hex colors containing the letter `e` inside `script_mod!`, use the `#x` prefix to avoid parse errors:
-```
-// These need #x prefix (contain 'e' adjacent to digits)
-fill: #x2ecc71
-fill: #x1e1e2e
-fill: #x4466ee
-
-// These are fine without #x (no 'e' issue)
-fill: #ff4444
-fill: #00ff00
-```
-
-## MathView Widget (LaTeX Math Rendering)
-
-The `MathView{}` widget renders LaTeX mathematical equations using vector glyph rendering with the NewCMMath font.
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```
-MathView{text: "x = \\frac{-b \\pm \\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}" font_size: 14.0}
-```
-
-### Properties
-
-| Property | Type | Default | Notes |
-|----------|------|---------|-------|
-| `text` | string | "" | LaTeX math expression |
-| `font_size` | f64 | 11.0 | Font size in points |
-| `color` | vec4 | #fff | Color of rendered math |
-| `width` | Size | Fit | Widget width |
-| `height` | Size | Fit | Widget height |
-
-### Examples
-
-```
-// Inline in a layout
-View{flow: Down height: Fit spacing: 12 padding: 15
-
-    Label{text: "Quadratic Formula" draw_text.color: #aaa draw_text.text_style.font_size: 10}
-    MathView{text: "x = \\frac{-b \\pm \\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}" font_size: 14.0}
-
-    Label{text: "Euler's Identity" draw_text.color: #aaa draw_text.text_style.font_size: 10}
-    MathView{text: "e^{i\\pi} + 1 = 0" font_size: 16.0}
-
-    Label{text: "Integral" draw_text.color: #aaa draw_text.text_style.font_size: 10}

-### Different Sizes
-
-```
-View{width: Fill height: Fit flow: Right spacing: 15 align: Align{y: 0.5}}
-MathView{text: "\\alpha + \\beta" font_size: 8.0}
-MathView{text: "\\alpha + \\beta" font_size: 12.0}
-MathView{text: "\\alpha + \\beta" font_size: 18.0}
-MathView{text: "\\alpha + \\beta" font_size: 24.0}

-### Notes
-
-- MathView is read-only — no selection or editing
-- Uses Display math style (large operators centered)
-- Backslashes must be escaped as `\\` in Splash strings
-- The widget sizes itself to fit the rendered equation by default (`width: Fit`, `height: Fit`)
-- An empty `text` produces no output
