      "name": "critical-rules",
      "description": "Use when checking constraints, safety rules, or must-follow policies.",
      "content": "# Critical Rules You Must Follow\n\n1. Zero Dual-Template Divergence\nNever generate PDF HTML by concatenating raw template strings in a parallel backend codebase. Always snapshot the live, hydrated DOM tree of the active UI preview. If a visual component changes in the web app, the exported PDF must automatically reflect that change identically.\n\n### 2. Vector Preservation in Skia (Anti-Rasterization)\nIn `@media print` and snapshot stylesheets, enforce:\n```css\n* {\n  filter: none !important;\n  backdrop-filter: none !important;\n}\n```\nAny elevation or card separation must use zero-blur `box-shadow: 0 1pt 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` or solid borders. Any use of `filter: drop-shadow()` trips Skia's `not_supported_for_layers()`, forcing `SkPDFDevice` to downgrade vector pages to 72 DPI bitmaps.\n\n### 3. LayoutUnit Subpixel Epsilon Buffering\nBlink's LayoutNG calculates layout geometry using 24.6 fixed-point arithmetic (`LayoutUnit`, where $1\\text{px} = 64\\text{ raw units}$ / $0.015625\\text{px}$ per unit). Cumulative floating-point rounding errors on borders and line-heights cause content with mathematical height $= H_{\\text{page}}$ to overflow by a fraction of a pixel, spawning a phantom trailing blank page.\nAlways apply epsilon clipping to the sheet page container:\n```css\n.sheet-page-container {\n  height: calc(100% - 0.5px);\n  overflow: hidden;\n}\n```\n\n### 4. Offscreen Real-DOM Sandbox Isolation\nWhen executing binary search spatial budgeting (font and gap scaling), measure DOM dimensions strictly inside an offscreen sandbox attached to `document.body`:\n```css\n.spatial-budget-sandbox {\n  contain: layout style size !important;\n  position: fixed !important;\n  top: -10000px !important;\n  left: -10000px !important;\n  pointer-events: none !important;\n  visibility: hidden !important;\n}\n```\nNever measure unattached DOM clones (which lack computed styles) or manipulate the live UI DOM (which triggers massive layout thrashing).\n\n### 5. Strict Headless Automation & Font Synchronization\nDeprecate `window.print()` in automated generation pipelines. Automated compilation must use Playwright's `page.pdf()` or direct CDP `Page.printToPDF`. Always verify font availability before capturing the document:\n```typescript\nawait page.evaluate(() => document.fonts.ready);\n```\n\n### 6. Dynamic Euclidean Page Sizing (No CSS Variables in `@page`)\nBlink LayoutNG does not support CSS variables inside `@page` rules (e.g., `@page { size: var(--cv-page-width) ... }` is invalid and silently ignored). Runtime paper dimensions must be dynamically injected into a dedicated `<style id=\"runtime-page-geometry\">` element:\n```css\n@page {\n  size: 210mm 297mm;\n  margin: 0;\n}\n```\n\n### 7. 1:1 WYSIWYG Geometric Invariance & True Sheet Canvas\nThe editor or preview canvas must never fluidly expand or contract with the browser viewport. The document DOM maintains immutable physical Euclidean dimensions (`width: 210mm`, etc.). Responsive adaptation to smaller viewports is achieved strictly via optical zoom (`transform: scale(zoomRatio); transform-origin: top center;`). This guarantees that word wraps, line breaks, and whitespace distribution are 100% identical between editor and printed PDF.\n\n### 8. Enterprise Security & Input Sanitization\n- Strip all `<script>`, `<iframe>`, `<object>`, `<embed>`, and inline event attributes (`onload`, `onerror`, `onclick`) from DOM snapshots.\n- Asset inlining (`urlToBase64`) must validate `https:` protocols and enforce strict same-origin or domain whitelists to prevent Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).\n- Numerical bisection solvers must enforce bounded loop iterations (`maxIterations: 10`) to eliminate Denial of Service (DoS) risks.\n\n### 9. Tagged Semantic Document Architecture (PDF/UA-1)\nEvery document compiled for human consumption or ATS ingestion must emit tagged PDF structures (`generateTaggedPDF: true`). All headings must map to semantic HTML tags (`<h1>`–`<h6>`), bullet lists to `<ul>`/`<li>`, tables must declare `<thead>` and `<th scope=\"col\">`, and all images must provide descriptive `alt` attributes."

LayoutUnit Quantization Drift\n\nChromium represents layout coordinates using the `LayoutUnit` class, storing values as 32-bit signed integers where $1\\text{px} = 64\\text{ raw units}$ ($0.015625\\text{px}$ per unit). When calculating line boxes, fractional font metrics, and border-box paddings, cumulative rounding errors accumulate:\n\n$$\\Delta_{\\text{drift}} = \\sum_{i=1}^{N} \\left( \\text{actual\\_height}_i - \\frac{\\lfloor \\text{actual\\_height}_i \\times 64 \\rfloor}{64} \\right)$$\n\nFor a document with 100 elements, $\\Delta_{\\text{drift}}$ can easily reach $0.2\\text{px}$–$0.8\\text{px}$. If total height is $1122.52\\text{px}$ and page height is $1122.52\\text{px}$, an extra $0.2\\text{px}$ triggers Blink to generate Page 2 with a single empty line.\n**Remediation**: Set sheet container height to $H_{\\text{page}} - \\epsilon$ (where $\\epsilon = 0.5\\text{px}$ to $1.0\\text{px}$)."
