New self-contained workflow-render skill. Generic layout primitives
(render.cjs): fillTo/wrap/wrapWithPrefix core (the single home of the
gutter-budget math), signpost + box, and renderTree — a recursive
{ title, body?, children? } tree owning branch glyphs, the continuous │
gutter, and wrap-with-gutter-budget (the original overflow bug is
structurally impossible). Domain composition in conventions.cjs
(title/tag/derivedFrom/discoveryGlyph/titlecase). Library + CLI; no
build step. SKILL.md API reference; test-render.cjs (additive only — no
existing skill touched).

Design log for the renderer initiative: the render-shape survey, locked design decisions, and the discovery/projection architecture spec (generic engine + schema-in-skill, grounded invocation mechanics, epic strawman, open decisions) — the hand-off plan for the next phase.

One document per feature. Join discovery-architecture-spec.md verbatim into the renderer idea doc as a final 'going forward' part (history + survey + decisions + build log, then the integration spec). Nothing removed or summarised; fix the now-self-referential intro line and delete the separate spec file. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Consolidates the renderer work (was split across #346/#348/#351, now closed) into one branch off current
main. Additive only — no existing skill/runtime file is touched.Summary
skills/workflow-render/(new skill) — the deterministic renderer:render.cjs—fillTo/wrap/wrapWithPrefixcore (single home of the gutter-budget math),signpost/box, andrenderTree(recursive{ title, body?, children? }; continuous│gutter; the original wrap-overflow bug is structurally impossible).conventions.cjs— domain composition (title/tag/derivedFrom/discoveryGlyph/titlecase).SKILL.mdAPI reference.ideas/— the design log: render-shape survey, locked decisions, anddiscovery-architecture-spec.md(generic engine + schema-in-skill, grounded invocation mechanics, epic strawman, open decisions §9). The hand-off plan.The renderer core is built and proven against the hardest real case (epic dashboard) via a spike that was deliberately wound back; the architecture spec captures how to integrate it cleanly, skill-by-skill.
Test plan
node --test tests/scripts/test-render.cjs— 30 tests (core invariants, prefix-budget guard, signpost/box widths, recursive tree, conventions). Validated byte-exact against live hand-drawn markers.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
