Work with Pulp's SDF / MSDF / PSDF glyph atlases — building, sampling via SkSL, and the shared text-layout helpers.

Pulp renders text through a GPU-sampled signed-distance-field pipeline so
Monitors deployed URLs for regressions after deploys, merges, or upgrades by checking HTTP status, console errors, network failures, performance (LCP/CLS/INP), content, and API health.

Pulp renders text through a GPU-sampled signed-distance-field pipeline so
a single atlas serves every font size with crisp edges. This skill is
for when you are touching core/canvas/src/sdf_atlas.cpp,
msdf_atlas.cpp, or the shader files, or when you add call-sites that
consume pulp/canvas/sdf_text.hpp.

and bearing_y = base_size for every glyph. Write tests that assert
invariants that hold in both the real and fallback paths, and
tighten only when you can detect the real path was taken
(gM->advance != gi->advance). See test_sdf_atlas.cpp.fwidth gives you subpixel AA for free. Do not add a second
softness uniform for "anti-alias width" — snapping belongs at the
pen (host side), not in the shader.include_alpha=true changes the pixel stride from 3 to 4 bytes.
Use MsdfAtlas::channels() rather than assuming 3.build_text_quads<AtlasT>() only requires
that the atlas expose glyph(c), base_size(), and the usual
SdfGlyph-shaped fields. That means the same helper works for every
atlas variant; do not branch on type.should_use_vector_fallback
is a pure policy helper; callers decide at draw time whether to hit
the Skia path rasterizer instead of the SDF sampler.SkFont via the SkSpan overloads. The historical
(pointer, count, ...) forms of unicharsToGlyphs, textToGlyphs,
getWidthsBounds, getWidths, getPos, getXPos, getPaths, and
getIntercepts are gated behind SK_SUPPORT_UNSPANNED_APIS in
include/core/SkFont.h. On Skia builds where that macro is not
defined (including some chrome/m144 drops), the overloads vanish and
sdf_atlas.cpp fails to compile. On this repo PULP_HAS_SKIA is
only set when libskia.a links successfully, so the break can hide
behind a headers-only pin — confirm by building pulp-canvas
against a tree that ships libskia.a (e.g.
SKIA_DIR=<other-worktree>/external/skia-build). See #543.cmake --build build --target \
