1// nx_layout_from_dom.nx -- build a LayoutBox tree from an HTML byte
2// stream by streaming nx_html_tokenizer tokens. Phase 3 fourth
3// primitive of NISHI_BROWSER_ROADMAP. THE bridge primitive between
4// Phase 1 (HTML parse) and Phase 3 (layout). Closes the gap that
5// prior layout smokes covered with hand-built fixtures.
6//
7// Algorithm: streaming token walk with a parent-stack arena.
8//
9// 1. Append a synthetic root LayoutBox of kind BLOCK at index 0.
10// (Production wraps this around a viewport-sized "html" box.
11// Phase 3b will detect the actual <html> / <body> root.)
12// 2. Maintain a stack of "current parent" LayoutBox indices.
13// Root is the bottom of the stack.
14// 3. For each token from the HTML tokenizer:
15// START_TAG -> create LayoutBox with kind from
16// nx_layout_default_display(tag name);
17// attach to current parent; push onto stack.
18// END_TAG -> pop the stack (back to parent).
19// SELF_CLOSING -> create LayoutBox; attach; do NOT push.
20// TEXT -> create LayoutBox of kind TEXT with the
21// text body offset/length recorded via
22// nx_layout_box_set_text.
23// DOCTYPE -> skip.
24// COMMENT -> skip.
25// UNKNOWN -> skip.
26// EOF -> end the walk.
27//
28// The output LayoutTree is ready for nx_layout_block to lay out
29// (provided cascade decls are computed via nx_css_apply against
30// the same source buffer first).
31//
32// What it does NOT handle yet (Phase 3b queued, explicit in header):
33// - HTML5 implicit-tag rules (auto-close on certain transitions,
34// e.g. <li><li> -> implicit </li> before second <li>; <p><div>
35// -> implicit </p>; <table> children must be <tr>; etc.)
36// - foster parenting of stray text inside <table>
37// - HTML5 raw-text content (script / style bodies are tokenized
38// as TEXT by nx_html_tokenizer's CAPABILITY_COMPLETENESS=PARTIAL;
39// CSS interpretation lives in Phase 2)
40// - foreign content (SVG, MathML namespace switches)
41// - implicit <html>/<head>/<body> insertion (we create a synthetic
42// root and let parsed tags hang off it)
43// - mismatched end tags (currently pops regardless; production
44// would walk the stack to find a matching open tag)
45//
46// Per cardinal feedback-honest-perf-verdict-no-aspirational-claims:
47// gap list is EXACT in this header.

152// tag never comes back down, because no </br> is coming. Inside a skipped subtree that means the skip
153// NEVER ENDS and every following element is silently dropped -- the same failure shape as the
