Fixes #2308.

Stacked on #2306. The first two commits are #2306. Please review only the last commit, LR-CROP-RECT: a free crop corner on a straightened photo grows both sides (#2308). I'll rebase this once #2306 merges.

What was wrong

On a straightened photo, dragging a free (unlocked) crop corner out diagonally grew only one side. The corner grew across first and met the tilted edge. From there, no straight step down stayed inside, so the height never changed. At 6°, the corner stopped at (0.996, 0.600), where (0.970, 0.971) fits.

The fix

crates/geom/src/crop_drag.rs:

  • A free corner on a straightened photo goes to the place nearest the pointer that keeps the frame inside and at least the minimum size.
  • This is the same convex nearest-place solve a move uses since LR-CROP-RECT: a moved crop slides along a straightened photo's tilted edges (#2299) #2306. nearest_move became nearest_offset, which takes points that move with one or both of the offset's components. A move passes its four corners, so it gives the same result as before.
  • On each axis, the corner moves only between where it is and where the pointer asks. A sideways push past a tilted edge stops there and keeps the height, as before.
  • Edge handles, locked aspect ratios and unstraightened photos keep the old path.

Related

The bot linked #742 and #1388. Both are closed fixes to the angle path (with_angle), which this change doesn't touch.

Tests

  • given_straightened_photo_when_a_free_corner_is_dragged_out_diagonally_then_both_sides_grow: 6° and −10°, plus every other corner at 8°. The anchor stays, and dragging further changes nothing. It fails on main ("one side only", y1 0.600).
  • given_straightened_photo_when_a_free_corner_is_pushed_sideways_past_an_edge_then_the_other_side_keeps_its_size: 6°, 12° and −8°.
  • given_straightened_photo_when_a_free_corner_moves_inside_then_it_follows_and_keeps_a_minimum_size: inside the photo it follows the pointer, a click changes nothing, and crossing the anchor keeps the minimum size.
  • cargo xtask ci: fmt, clippy, test, parity, layers and assets pass. wasm fails locally only because this machine has no wasm32 target.

E2E before/after screenshots are in a comment below.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Cropping rotated images now allows the crop frame to slide along tilted image edges while preserving its size.
    • Dragging a free corner beyond an image edge finds the nearest fitting position and can expand both sides toward it, while keeping the opposite corner fixed and respecting minimum dimensions.
    • Crop movement and corner adjustments remain constrained within image boundaries, including rotated images.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the crop behavior checklist with these straightened-photo interactions.

Walkthrough

Rotated crop moves and free-corner drags now select the nearest feasible placement. Existing axis-by-axis behavior remains as a fallback. Tests cover rotated-image placement, and the parity checklist records both behaviors.

Changes: Rotated crop placement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Nearest-feasible geometry
crates/geom/src/crop_drag.rs
Adds affine offset calculations and half-plane clipping to find feasible crop placements near the pointer.
Drag behavior and validation
crates/geom/src/crop_drag.rs, docs/parity-checklist.md
Rotated moves and free-corner drags use nearest-feasible placement. Tests cover tilted-edge movement, diagonal and constrained resizing, minimum dimensions, anchor preservation, and no-op clicks. The checklist records both behaviors with unchanged status.

Explanation

Issue #2308 requires a free corner on a straightened photo to reach the nearest fitting position while keeping the anchor, image bounds, and minimum size. crates/geom/src/crop_drag.rs adds nearest_corner and the convex nearest_offset solve. The implementation limits movement to the pointer direction and retains the existing paths for edge handles, locked aspect ratios, and unstraightened photos. Regression tests cover diagonal growth at 6°, 12°, and 8° for the corners, sideways pushes, minimum size, anchor retention, and the no-further-change limit.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The shared nearest-offset solver and move-path updates support the related straightened-photo crop behavior from stacked issue #2306. The added geometry tests and parity checklist document the changed crop behavior. No unrelated change is demonstrated. Closed issues #742 and #1388 provide context only.

E2E with the headless CLI (lightcraft-cli snapshot --demo): a free crop of (0.3, 0.3)–(0.6, 0.6) at 6°, with the bottom-right corner dragged out to (1.2, 1.2) through ui.pointer.

Start (same on main and this branch)

start

As-is (main): the corner stops at (0.996, 0.600). Only the width grows.

as-is

To-be (this branch): the corner reaches (0.970, 0.971). Both sides grow, and the frame stays inside the turned photo.

I read the whole diff against main in crates/geom/src/crop_drag.rs (it holds #2306's two commits as well as this PR's own, since #2322 is stacked on #2306) and the parity rows, and recomputed the numbers independently. I haven't built or run it (no cargo here), and no hosted test CI ran on this head, so the code is by my reading. I'm leaving this as a comment, not an approval: I found no defect, but the Rust geometry is untested by any hosted job and #2306 is still open without a review.

Recomputed, independently of the PR's algorithm. I took the issue's case (a 600 × 400 photo, crop (0.3, 0.3, 0.6, 0.6), bottom-right corner dragged to (1.2, 1.2)), moved the three corners the way a corner drag moves them, and searched a 0.25 px grid for the feasible position nearest the pointer, with feasibility taken straight from is_within_image (every corner turned back by -angle inside 0..w × 0..h):

  • 6°: nearest corner (0.970, 0.971), which is the description's (0.970, 0.971); across-then-down (the old path) gives (0.995, 0.604), the issue's (0.996, 0.600).
  • 10°: (0.954, 0.954) (the issue says about (0.955, 0.951)); 12°: (0.948, 0.946).
  • Sideways to (1.3, 0.6): x1 reaches 0.995 / 0.996 / 0.997 and y1 stays 0.600 at 6° / 10° / 12°, which is what the second test asserts (near(y1, 0.6), x1 > 0.85); at −8° the corner stops at x1 0.986.

What I checked in the code.

  • nearest_corner moves the dragged corner with both components and the two corners beside it with one each, keeps the corner min_side from the anchor on its own side (the two extra planes have the right signs for left/right and top/bottom), and caps each axis between "where it is" and "where the pointer asks" (the four want planes), so a push along one axis can't trade the other side away. A click (want = 0) satisfies every plane, so nearest_offset returns it unchanged. The result is only used if feasible accepts it; otherwise the old across-then-down path runs.
  • Only a free corner (both mx and my) on a straightened photo (angle != 0) takes the new path; edge handles, locked aspect ratios and unstraightened photos are untouched, as the description says. The Move path from #2306 passes the four corners with both components and no extra planes, so a move that fits is returned as want.
  • The 1e-9 slack and b.max(0.0) keep a frame that sits within is_within_image's tolerance from emptying the polygon.

Note on the first test. It loops over 6° and −10°. By the same search, the old path already gives the nearest corner at −10° for this corner ((0.984, 0.879) for both), so only the 6° case separates the fix from main, and the comment "≈ 0.96, 0.96" fits 6° but not −10°. The assertion (x1 > 0.9, y1 > 0.85) is still true, so this is only about what the test proves.

#2306. This branch carries both of #2306's commits and the description says to review only the last one; I reviewed the whole diff, but #2306 should be read and merged first, as the author says, and I'll look at it in its own thread.

Validation request (head 3f0a0fc2ec1baadd184ba883f6860c859678750e; after #2306):

  • os: linux (windows and macos optional)
  • commands: cargo fmt --all -- --check; cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings; cargo test -p lightcraft-geom --locked; cargo xtask parity; cargo xtask layers; in the app: straighten a photo by 6°, drag a free corner diagonally out past the edge, then sideways, then drag a smaller frame past a tilted edge
  • expected: all pass, 0 ignored; both sides grow to about (0.97, 0.97); a sideways push keeps the height; a click changes nothing
  • holds: no hosted receipt for this head; order after #2306

@FredApps Thanks for recomputing it. You're right about −10°: the old path already reaches the nearest corner there, so only 6° told the fix from main.

cae0880 replaces −10° with 12° and tightens the check to y1 > 0.9. With the new path disabled, both angles now fail with y1 0.600 (6°: x1 0.996, 12°: x1 0.997). I also dropped the "≈ 0.96, 0.96" comment. cargo test -p lightcraft-geom, fmt and clippy pass.

E2E after the review fixes (head 4832dcf, rebased on #2306's 32ed183), same scripts on main and this branch:

Case main this branch
Free corner dragged diagonally out, 6° (0.996, 0.600) (0.970, 0.971)
Free corner pushed straight right, 12° x1 0.997, y1 0.600 x1 0.997, y1 0.600 (height kept)
Corner of a crop narrower than the minimum, 6° grows to the minimum (width 0.0133) same

Pushed straight right at 12°, this branch: the height stays.

this branch, pushed straight right

The diagonal case looks the same as in the earlier comment. cargo xtask ci passes except wasm (no wasm32 target locally).

…ides (storytold#2308)

On a straightened photo, dragging a free crop's corner out diagonally grew
only one side: the corner grew across first, met the tilted edge, and from
there no straight step down stayed inside, so the other side never moved.
The corner now goes to the place nearest the pointer that keeps the frame
inside and at least the minimum size: the same convex nearest-place solve a
move uses (storytold#2299), generalised to points that move with one or both of the
offset's components. On each axis the corner moves only between where it is
and where the pointer asks, so a sideways push past a tilted edge stops there
and keeps the height. Edge handles and unstraightened photos keep the old path.
…torytold#2308)

At -10 degrees the old across-then-down path already reaches the nearest
corner for this crop, so only the 6 degree case told the fix from main.
Use 12 degrees instead, where main also stops at y1 0.600.
…storytold#2308)

The free-corner solve clamped its minimum-size bounds to zero, so a crop
already under the minimum stayed under it when a corner was dragged out
a little (2 px grew to 4 px where 8 px is the minimum). Keep the bounds
as given: the solve then grows it to the minimum, as the unrotated path
does, and falls back to that path when the minimum doesn't fit.

Approving at 15434d8. This follows my comment at 3f0a0fc, where I found no defect but held back because the code hadn't been built or tested on a hosted job and #2306 was still open.

Since then. #2306 is merged, so its two commits are gone from this branch (code-only git range-diff against 3f0a0fc). The diff against main is now only crates/geom/src/crop_drag.rs and a parity row. I read the whole code diff again:

  • 87af6eb (the fix, rebased): nearest_move is generalised to nearest_offset(points, extra, …), where each point moves by m ⊙ v. The Move path passes the four corners with m = (1, 1) and no extra planes, which builds the same planes as the old nearest_move. nearest_corner moves the dragged corner on both axes and the two neighbouring corners on one each, with the min-size planes and the four want caps I described last time. Only a free corner on a straightened photo takes the new path, and its result is used only if feasible accepts it; otherwise the old across-then-down grow runs.
  • 940a1ae: the diagonal test now uses 6° and 12° (both fail on main by your numbers), and also drags the other three corners at 8°. That answers my note about −10°.
  • f1245bd: comments only.
  • 15434d8: the min-size planes are no longer clamped to zero. For a crop already under the minimum, the plane now asks for at least the minimum; when the pointer's cap doesn't allow that, the polygon is empty, nearest_offset returns None, and the unrotated grow path (which enforces the minimum) runs. The new test checks a 2 px crop reaches the minimum.

Revert check: with the new corner path switched off (nearest forced to None), given_straightened_photo_when_a_free_corner_is_dragged_out_diagonally_then_both_sides_grow fails; with it on, it passes.

The branch merges cleanly into current main.

Local run (fresh worktree merged with main 31ec62c): cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p lightcraft-geom --all-targets -- -D warnings, and the lightcraft-geom lib tests filtered to crop all passed.

Not tested here: dragging in the app (the E2E table in your comment is yours, not mine), cargo xtask parity / layers, Windows and macOS, and the other crates.
