Brings the Win32 renderer in line with the browser for the weather example.

  • Scale to gea.designWidth: the build bakes it in, and the engine scale follows the client width on every resize. Window chrome keeps the DPI scale.
  • Text metrics: measurement takes font weight and line-height; each line is centred in its line box, and translucent text colours are pre-blended.
  • A styled button paints its children like any box, instead of a flattened title.
  • overflow-x rails are painted inline and clipped. Only overflow-y auto/scroll becomes a native scroll window. The wheel and a sideways drag pan a rail, and a drag ends without a click.
  • GEA_WINDOWS_POINTER_DEBUG=1 logs press hit-tests.

The .screen padding and bold labels come from the core PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Windows apps can scale their content to a configured design width while window chrome continues to follow monitor DPI scaling.
    • Horizontal overflow areas can be panned by dragging or using the mouse wheel. Wheel input can also reach scrollable surfaces without native scrollbars.
    • Text layout now supports font weight and line height, with improved opacity handling and styled-button content rendering.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Resizing a Windows window updates content scaling and layout, including before the app finishes starting.

build-windows.mjs reads designWidth from the app manifest or the app's
package.json `gea.designWidth` and bakes it in as
GEA_WINDOWS_DESIGN_WIDTH. The main window then derives the engine scale
from clientWidth / designWidth on every resize, so a phone-designed
layout fills the window instead of rendering at DPI scale in its corner.
Window chrome and min/max sizing keep the DPI scale (g_dpiScale), now
held apart from the engine scale (g_scale).

- Text measurement takes font weight and line-height
  (gea_host_measure_text_with_style); painting centres each line in its
  line box and pre-blends text alpha onto the background, so muted
  colours and tall line-heights match the layout instead of overflowing.
- A styled button paints its children like any box (their fonts, no
  clipping) instead of a flattened title.
- overflow-x rails are painted inline and clipped by their box; only
  overflow-y: auto/scroll becomes a native GeaScroll. A wheel over such a
  rail pans it (surfaceWheel, routed from widgets no native scroll took),
  and a press that travels sideways past the slop drags it and ends
  without a click (surfacePointer).
- GEA_WINDOWS_POINTER_DEBUG=1 logs the hit-test target of each press.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Windows target now resolves an optional app design width and uses it to scale the engine independently of monitor-DPI scaling. Widget text measurement and painting now support font weight, line height, and text alpha. Inline horizontal overflow rails now support pointer-drag and wheel input.

Changes

Windows target behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Design-width scaling
packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/build-windows.mjs, packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/main/win32_main.cpp
The build resolves a design width from app data or the app manifest and defines it when positive. The runtime uses client width and design width for engine scale when available, while monitor-DPI scale controls window dimensions and minimum sizing.
Text measurement and rendering
packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/main/win32_font_registry.cpp, packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/main/win32_renderer.cpp, packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/main/win32_widgets.cpp, packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/main/win32_widgets.h
Text measurement accepts font weight and line height. Widget styles add line height, and text painting applies text alpha and line-height positioning. Styled-button content proceeds through normal child painting.
Horizontal overflow input
packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/main/win32_renderer.cpp, packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/main/win32_widgets.cpp, packages/geastack-windows/targets/win32/main/win32_widgets.h
Only vertically scrolling nodes become native scroll windows. Inline horizontal rails can be panned by pointer drag or wheel input. Unhandled wheel messages route to the nearest surface callback. A pan suppresses the pressed appearance and click dispatch.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8b1b3

Styled buttons can retain stale content, and a non-finite design-width setting can prevent a Windows build. Fix both before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8b1b3

The changes are confined to the Windows app target, and no new security exposure was verified. An active drag may need stronger protection when the UI changes before the gesture ends.

Retained concerns

  • Low · architecture · inferred: An active horizontal drag retains a numeric rail ID without rechecking its surface ownership or eligibility after UI updates. If that ID changes meaning during the gesture, movement could scroll an unintended node. Normal cleanup and fresh wheel selection limit the concern; node-identity behavior remains unverified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The examined input exposure is interactive resizing, pointer input, and wheel input within a Windows app window. The supplied impact map identifies one changed package and no changed dependency edge; it does not establish coverage of every security-relevant downstream action.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Resize handling recomputes scale from the actual client rectangle rather than the size carried in the window message, and keeps DPI-based frame sizing separate from engine scaling.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Bounds checks and terminal cleanup contain ordinary gesture failures, but an active rail is not revalidated against current ownership or overflow eligibility before its scroll state changes. The available tree contract does not resolve whether an ID can be reassigned mid-gesture.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before each drag scroll update, verify that the selected rail still belongs to the surface and remains eligible; clear the gesture if its identity or ownership has changed.

Reject non-finite design widths before creating the compiler define.

If gea.designWidth is "Infinity" or an overflowing numeric string, Number() returns Infinity. The positive-value check accepts it, and Line 540 emits /DGEA_WINDOWS_DESIGN_WIDTH=Infinity. C++ then treats Infinity as an identifier, so the build fails. Require Number.isFinite(designWidth) as well as a positive value.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Update syncPaintedNode for styled buttons, which now paint their children.

paintNode now draws each child of a styled button with that child's own style. syncPaintedNode (Lines 1004-1010) still hashes only buttonTitle(node) and then returns without recursing. It never calls hashNode for the children, so paintHash misses their text color, font size, weight, layout and opacity. If one of those changes but the joined title text stays the same, syncSurface skips InvalidateRect. The button then keeps showing old content. The same early return also means the loop never reaches any window-owning descendant.

Proposed fix
-	if (node.type == NodeType::Button) {
-		// A styled button paints its title from its descendants; they are
-		// not laid out as separate boxes.
-		const std::string title = buttonTitle(node);
-		scope.hasher.bytes(title.data(), title.size());
-		return;
-	}
 	for (int child = node.first_child; child >= 0; child = tree.node(child).next_sibling) syncPaintedNode(scope, child, unseen);
