render_page.sg (sigil-video e173c87) is the capstone of the 0.7.0 browser rendering sprint. It is the first end-to-end integration smoke test that drives the complete rendering pipeline: stub DOM → layout_box.sg positions each node → text_layout.sg renders glyphs via font_raster.sg → canvas2d_fill_rect fills image placeholders → comp_submit_layer + comp_present blit to VESA scanout. Three pixel probes on the compositor output confirm the chain works at every level: 'S' at (4,4) row2/col1 is white (h1 text), 'W' at (4,14) row2/col1 is cyan (p text), and the img placeholder at (30,6) is red. RENDERPAGE-PASS on x86 QEMU. The browser rendering stack is done.
Section 1: Stub DOM — three nodes
The test DOM has 3 nodes in a 160px wide container:
| Node | Type | Desc | Layout result |
|---|---|---|---|
0 — h1 |
block | cw=100, ch=8, mt=4, mb=2, ml=4 | x=4, y=4, w=156 (auto), h=8. block_cy→14 |
1 — p |
block | cw=100, ch=8, mt=0, mb=4, ml=4 | x=4, y=14, w=156 (auto), h=8. block_cy→26 |
2 — img |
inline | cw=32, ch=32, mt=2, pad=2, ml=4 | x=4, y=28, w=36 (bbw=cw+2×pad), h=36 |
h1 and p are block nodes: layout_flow auto-fills width to ctr_w − ml − mr = 160 − 4 − 0 = 156, stacks them with block_cy cursor. img is inline: placed at inline_cx=4, y=28 (block_cy after two blocks + img margin). img has pad=2 so bbw = 32 + 4 = 36.
Section 2: Pipeline walkthrough
layout_set_node for all 3 nodes, layout_flow(3, 160). Computes all result x/y/w/h. h1 lands at (4,4,156,8). p lands at (4,14,156,8). img lands at (4,28,36,36). All positions verified before drawing.canvas2d_fill_rect(render_buf, pitch, result_x, result_y, result_w, result_h, color) for each node's bounding box — dark background for h1 and p, dark background for img placeholder region. Sets up the paint surface.text_layout_init(render_buf, pitch, fw, fh, 4, 4, 156, WHITE). text_layout_put_string("SIGL", 4). font_raster_glyph writes each glyph pixel into render_buf. S at x=4, I at x=12, G at x=20, L at x=28.text_layout_init(..., 4, 14, 156, CYAN). text_layout_put_string("WORLD", 5). W at (4,14), O at (12,14), R at (20,14), L at (28,14), D at (36,14).canvas2d_fill_rect(render_buf, pitch, 4, 28, 36, 36, RED). Fills the img bounding box red — img_decode stub (real PNG/JPEG decode via img_decode.sg is the next integration point).comp_submit_layer(0, render_buf, 0, 0, fw, fh) submits render_buf as compositor layer 0. comp_present(dest, pitch, fw, fh) blits all dirty compositor layers to dest (0x500000 — VESA scanout buffer). GPU path silicon-pending; SW floor: copy_span tile blit.Section 3: Pixel probes — RENDERPAGE-PASS
Three pixel probes on compositor output at dest = 0x500000:
| Probe | Location | Expected | Verifies |
|---|---|---|---|
'S' row2 col1 |
dest + (y+2)*pitch + (x+1)*4 = dest + 6*pitch + 5*4 |
white (0xFFFFFFFF) | h1 "SIGL" glyph 'S' bit at row 2, col 1 is set — font_raster VGA bitmap correct |
'W' row2 col1 |
dest + (14+2)*pitch + (4+1)*4 = dest + 16*pitch + 5*4 |
cyan (0xFF00FFFF) | p "WORLD" glyph 'W' bit at row 2, col 1 is set — text_layout cursor at (4,14) correct |
| img pixel (30,6) | dest + (28+6)*pitch + (4+30)*4 = dest + 34*pitch + 34*4 |
red (0xFF0000FF) | img placeholder fill at (4,28,36,36) — canvas2d_fill_rect + compositor blit correct |
PASS: "RENDERPAGE-PASS layout=ok text=ok img=ok comp=ok"

What remains for a live browser render pass: cc0/JS runtime feeding real HTML into the tokenizer, and the GPU paths going from silicon-pending to silicon-active on real Pi 3 hardware. The software floor is complete and proven.
