//! Offscreen paint variants: the subtree paint paths that render into an
//! intermediate target instead of straight onto the caller's `DrawCtx`.
//!
//! Split out of [`super`] (`widget/paint.rs`), which keeps the traversal and
//! dispatch logic; this module holds the three ways a subtree can be rendered
//! offscreen and then composited back:
//!
//! - [`paint_subtree_unified_backbuffer`] — dispatch on
//!   [`Widget::backbuffer_spec`](crate::widget::Widget::backbuffer_spec),
//!   routing to the GL or software path (the migration point between the
//!   unified [`BackbufferSpec`] and the older `backbuffer_cache_mut` API).
//! - [`paint_subtree_gl_backbuffer`] — retained GL FBO layers, composited by
//!   the backend and skipped entirely when the cached layer is still valid.
//! - [`paint_subtree_layer`] — transient compositing layers used for group
//!   opacity (see [`CompositingLayer`](crate::widget::CompositingLayer)).
//! - [`paint_subtree_backbuffered`] — CPU raster into a [`Framebuffer`] or an
//!   [`LcdBuffer`], cached as `Arc` byte planes on the widget and blitted via
//!   [`DrawCtx::draw_image_rgba_arc`] / `draw_lcd_backbuffer_arc`.
//!
//! Cache bookkeeping (dirty flags, size/epoch invalidation, content versions)
//! lives in `widget/backbuffer.rs`; this module only decides when to re-raster
//! and how to composite the result. Coordinate conventions are the same
//! logical Y-up ones documented in [`super`].
