Expand description
The terminal renderer for makeover_layout.
Named for the target and not for ratatui, the same way
makeover-immediate is named for the mode and not for egui.
§What a terminal changes
A terminal can paint a two-tone bevel, which is a surprise: writing cells
directly gives per-side colour control that neither Block nor egui’s
single bg_stroke offers. What it cannot reliably do is fill. Two
surface intents several steps apart in a 24-bit theme routinely land on one
entry in sixteen colours, and surface-well collapses onto its own face on
18 of the 31 shipped themes. A well drawn as a fill is then a well drawn as
nothing.
So depth here degrades from colour to structure: paint the fill when it will be visible, and always paint the edge, because the edge is the part that survives.
§The correction this renderer forced
makeover_layout::Fill briefly carried a fallback method, returning
Page for Well so a consumer without surface-well had something to
use. That is an answer for a renderer that can always paint a colour. Here
it is actively wrong: page is the surface a well is usually cut into, so
falling back to it produces the exact invisibility the fallback was meant
to avoid.
Substituting one intent for another is renderer policy, not description.
The fallback moved out of the description and into
makeover-immediate, where it belongs, which is the first thing a second
renderer was built to find.
