+## Iteration that just failed (`a5b9952` — wrapper-excluded content-union crop + image alignment)
+Broke the image rendering — creator could not evaluate the box because the image was gone/ruined.
+Why: the visible-element-union rect is measured ONCE on NavigationCompleted; widget layout isn't
+settled then (async fonts/images, load animations, iframes), so the crop rect comes out tiny/wrong
+and the Fill-stretched frame renders a broken/zoomed sliver. This was against the creator's explicit
+"don't break the rendering" instruction. Lesson: the canvas-size render + Fill is the ONLY verified
+good base; any crop must be built on it one tested step at a time, never shipped blind.
