-## 1.0.0-alpha.1 - 2026-07-24
-
-Ground-up rewrite of VTracer into a **vectorization framework** with pluggable stages.
-
-### Added
-
-* Pluggable pipeline: swappable frontend (segmentation), color fitting (incl. custom palettes), curve-fitting backend, and an optimizer pass phase.
-* **Mosaic mode**: true seam-free, gapless tessellation via shared boundary-graph tracing (pixel, polygon, and spline fitters), replacing the old "cutout" that produced seams.
-* SVG optimizer: relative path syntax, shorthand commands, and coordinate-precision reduction for smaller files.
-* `@visioncortex/vtracer` Node.js package (npm): wasm core with a native image reader.
-* Rewritten Python bindings (`vtracer-py`) with a richer API; pyo3 bumped to 0.26 (fixes CPython 3.14 segfaults, #124).
-* CLI accepts positional `input`/`output` arguments (#114).
-
-### Changed
-
-* Workspace restructured into `crates/vtracer` (core lib), `crates/vtracer-cli`, `crates/vtracer-py`, and `nodejs/`.
-* CLI upgraded from clap 2.x to 4.x (#118).
-* `filter_speckle` CLI cap raised from 16 to 128, matching the web app (#115).
-* Depends on `visioncortex` 0.9.
-* Python wheel CI now runs only on release tags and manual dispatch, not on every commit.
-
-### Removed
-
-* The pre-1.0 `cmdapp` crate and the demo webapp GUI.

 ## Introduction

 visioncortex VTracer is an open source software to convert raster images (like jpg & png) into vector graphics (svg). It can vectorize graphics and photographs and trace the curves to output compact vector files.

-Comparing to [Potrace](http://potrace.sourceforge.net/) which only accept binarized inputs (Black & White pixmap), VTracer has an image processing pipeline which can handle colored high resolution scans. tl;dr: Potrace uses a `O(n^2)` fitting algorithm, whereas `vtracer` is entirely `O(n)`.
+Comparing to [Potrace](http://potrace.sourceforge.net/) which only accept binarized inputs (Black & White pixmap), VTracer has an image processing pipeline which can handle colored high resolution scans.

 Comparing to Adobe Illustrator's [Image Trace](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/image-trace.html), VTracer's output is much more compact (less shapes) as we adopt a stacking strategy and avoid producing shapes with holes.

 VTracer is originally designed for processing high resolution scans of historic blueprints up to gigapixels. At the same time, VTracer can also handle low resolution pixel art, simulating `image-rendering: pixelated` for retro game artworks.

+A technical description of the algorithm is on [visioncortex.org/vtracer-docs](//www.visioncortex.org/vtracer-docs).

-## Desktop App (coming soon)
+## Web App
+
+VTracer and its [core library](//github.com/visioncortex/visioncortex) is implemented in [Rust](//www.rust-lang.org/). It provides us a solid foundation to develop robust and efficient algorithms and easily bring it to interactive applications. The webapp is a perfect showcase of the capability of the Rust + wasm platform.

-### New in 1.0
-
- **Positional arguments** — `vtracer in.png out.svg`.
- **`--hierarchical cutout`** is now a true seam-free mosaic (a gapless
-  tessellation with shared boundaries), replacing the old re-clustered cutout.
- **`--palette` / `--palette-file`** — snap colors to a fixed palette
-  (nearest in OKLab); **`--max-colors`** auto-quantizes the palette.
- **`--optimize`** — output size passes (coordinate quantization, redundant-
-  point removal, relative/shorthand path encoding).
-
-## Downloads
-
-You can download pre-built binaries from [Releases](https://github.com/visioncortex/vtracer/releases).
-
-You can also install the program from source from [crates.io/vtracer](https://crates.io/crates/vtracer):
-
-```sh
-cargo install vtracer-cli
-```
-
-> You are strongly advised to not download from any other third-party sources 
-
 ### Usage
-
-```sh
-# simplest form
-./vtracer input.jpg output.svg
-
-# black & white line art
-./vtracer input.jpg output.svg --preset bw
-
-# seam-free mosaic (gapless tessellation)
-./vtracer input.jpg output.svg --hierarchical cutout
-
-# constrain to a fixed palette
-./vtracer input.jpg output.svg --palette '#1b1b1b,#e0c088,#5a7d3c,#8fb0d0'
+```
+./vtracer --input input.jpg --output output.svg
 ```

-### Rust Library
+## Library

-You can install [`vtracer`](https://crates.io/crates/vtracer) as a Rust library.
+The library can be found on [crates.io/vtracer](//crates.io/crates/vtracer) and [crates.io/vtracer-webapp](//crates.io/crates/vtracer-webapp).

-```sh
-cargo add vtracer
+## Install
+
+Download pre-built binaries from [Releases](https://github.com/visioncortex/vtracer/releases).
+
+or
+
+Install from source (Rust toolchain needed):
+
+```
+cargo install vtracer
 ```

-### Python Library
+## In the wild

-[`vtracer`](https://pypi.org/project/vtracer/) is also packaged as a Python native extension (built with [pyo3](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3) + [maturin](https://www.maturin.rs), from the `crates/vtracer-py` crate).
+VTracer is used by the following products (feel free to add yours to the list):

-```sh
-pip install vtracer
-```
-
-```python
-import vtracer
-
-# one-liners
-vtracer.convert_file("in.png", "out.svg")
-svg = vtracer.convert_bytes(open("in.png", "rb").read())
-
-# rich, reusable config + presets
-cfg = vtracer.Config(mode="polygon", hierarchical="cutout")
-cfg.palette = ["#1b1b1b", "#e0c088", "#5a7d3c"]
-svg = cfg.convert_bytes(data)
-vtracer.Config.poster().convert_file("photo.jpg", "poster.svg")
-```
-
-See [`crates/vtracer-py`](crates/vtracer-py/README.md) for the full API.
-
-### Node.js Library
-
-[`@visioncortex/vtracer`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@visioncortex/vtracer) is available for Node as a WebAssembly build (from the [`nodejs`](nodejs/README.md) package) — image decoding and vectorization both run in wasm, so there is **no native dependency**.
-
-```sh
-npm install @visioncortex/vtracer
-```
-
-```js
-const vtracer = require('@visioncortex/vtracer');
-
-await vtracer.convertFile('in.png', 'out.svg', { mode: 'polygon' });
-const svg = vtracer.convertBuffer(buffer, { preset: 'poster' });
-const svg2 = vtracer.convertPixels(rgba, width, height, { colorMode: 'bw' });
-```

+
+## Introduction
+
+visioncortex VTracer is an open source software to convert raster images (like jpg & png) into vector graphics (svg). It can vectorize graphics and photographs and trace the curves to output compact vector files.
+
+Comparing to [Potrace](http://potrace.sourceforge.net/) which only accept binarized inputs (Black & White pixmap), VTracer has an image processing pipeline which can handle colored high resolution scans.
+
+Comparing to Adobe Illustrator's [Image Trace](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/image-trace.html), VTracer's output is much more compact (less shapes) as we adopt a stacking strategy and avoid producing shapes with holes.
+
+VTracer is originally designed for processing high resolution scans of historic blueprints up to gigapixels. At the same time, VTracer can also handle low resolution pixel art, simulating `image-rendering: pixelated` for retro game artworks.
+
+A technical description of the algorithm is on [visioncortex.org/vtracer-docs](//www.visioncortex.org/vtracer-docs).
+
+## Install (Python)
+
+```shell
+pip install vtracer
+```
+
+### Usage (Python)
+
+```python
+import vtracer
+
+input_path = "/path/to/some_file.jpg"
+output_path = "/path/to/some_file.vtracer.jpg"
+
+# Minimal example: use all default values, generate a multicolor SVG
+vtracer.convert_image_to_svg_py(inp, out)
+
+# Single-color example. Good for line art, and much faster than full color:
+vtracer.convert_image_to_svg_py(inp, out, colormode='binary')
+
+# All the bells & whistles
+vtracer.convert_image_to_svg_py(inp,
+                                out,
+                                colormode = 'color',        # ["color"] or "binary"

-# vtracer (Python)
-
-Python bindings for the [`vtracer`](https://github.com/visioncortex/vtracer)
-raster-to-vector framework. Built with [pyo3](https://pyo3.rs) +
-[maturin](https://www.maturin.rs); the core Rust crate stays pure (no I/O), and

-
-## Install
-
-```sh
-pip install vtracer
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-```python
-import vtracer
-
-# one-liners
-vtracer.convert_file("in.png", "out.svg")
-svg = vtracer.convert_bytes(open("in.png", "rb").read())          # -> str
-svg = vtracer.convert_pixels(rgba_bytes, width, height)           # raw RGBA8
-
-# a rich, reusable configuration object
-cfg = vtracer.Config(mode="polygon", filter_speckle=8)
-cfg.hierarchical = "cutout"          # seam-free mosaic
-cfg.palette = ["#1b1b1b", "#e0c088", "#5a7d3c"]   # snap to a fixed palette
-cfg.max_colors = 8                   # or auto-quantize
-cfg.optimize = 2
-svg = cfg.convert_bytes(data)
-
-# presets
-vtracer.Config.poster().convert_file("photo.jpg", "poster.svg")
-vtracer.Config.bw().convert_file("scan.png", "lineart.svg")
-```
-
-### `Config`
-
-Constructor keyword arguments (all optional) — also exposed as mutable
-properties, plus the presets `Config.bw()`, `Config.poster()`, `Config.photo()`:
-
-| arg | default | notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| `color_mode` | `"color"` | `"color"` or `"bw"` |
-| `hierarchical` | `"stacked"` | `"stacked"` or `"cutout"` (mosaic) |
-| `mode` | `"spline"` | `"pixel"`, `"polygon"`, `"spline"` |
-| `filter_speckle` | `4` | discard patches smaller than X px |
-| `color_precision` | `6` | significant bits per channel |
-| `layer_difference` | `16` | color diff between gradient layers |
-| `corner_threshold` | `60` | degrees |
-| `length_threshold` | `4.0` | px |
-| `max_iterations` | `10` | |
-| `splice_threshold` | `45` | degrees |
-| `path_precision` | `2` | output decimal places |
-| `palette` | `None` | list of `#rrggbb` strings |
-| `max_colors` | `None` | auto-quantize target |
-| `optimize` | `1` | `0` off, `1` quantize+simplify, `2` + shorthands |
-
-Each `Config` has `convert_file(input, output)`, `convert_bytes(data, format=None) -> str`,
-and `convert_pixels(rgba, width, height) -> str`.

-//! Curve fitters: turn a region's pixel mask into vector outlines.

-//! The three built-ins wrap the corresponding visioncortex tracing modes and
-//! emit our [`MultiPath`] IR in absolute (document) coordinates:
-//!
-//! * [`PixelFitter`] — exact lattice polyline (no simplification).
-//! * [`PolygonFitter`] — staircase-symmetric Douglas–Peucker polygon.
-//! * [`SplineFitter`] — subdivision + corner detection + least-squares cubics.
-//!
-//! All three trace *closed* region outlines (outer ring plus holes). Open
-//! polyline fitting (needed for the mosaic compositor) will arrive with that

-# VTracer 1.0 Design Documents
-
-VTracer is being rearchitected from a single hardcoded pipeline into a **vectorization framework**. These documents describe the target design.
-
-| Document | Contents |
-|---|---|
-| [architecture.md](architecture.md) | Workspace layout, core IR, stage traits, pipeline driver, optimizer & SVG writer, CLI |
-| [mosaic.md](mosaic.md) | The seam-free cutout/mosaic mode: boundary-graph tracing and shared-edge curve fitting |
-| [bindings.md](bindings.md) | Python (PyPI), wasm, and the new Node.js (npm) package |
-| [roadmap.md](roadmap.md) | Milestones and verification strategy |
-
-## Motivation
-
-VTracer today (0.6.x) is a thin driver around the `visioncortex` crate: one pipeline (color clustering → per-cluster tracing → SVG string), a CLI, a pyo3 binding, and a web demo that duplicates the pipeline. The rewrite turns it into a framework with pluggable stages:
-
-1. **Frontend** — any algorithm that produces clusters/segmentation from a raster image
-2. **Curve fitting backend** — pluggable polyline→curve fitters (pixel, polygon, spline, future potrace-style)
-3. **Color fitting** — mapping cluster colors to final paints, including custom fixed palettes
-4. **Optimizer** — a pass pipeline that shrinks output (relative path syntax, shorthand commands, precision reduction)
-5. **True mosaic cutout** — a perfect, gapless tessellation with shared boundary geometry, replacing today's fake cutout (which re-clusters a re-rendered image and shows seams)
-
-The project stays backend/CLI focused, and everything except image file I/O compiles to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
-
-## Decisions
-
- **`visioncortex` remains a dependency**, wrapped behind traits. Development uses a path/`[patch]` dependency on the local checkout; API additions are committed to visioncortex directly and published as 0.8.x releases. Verified that everything the new design needs is already public: the fitting primitives (`fit_points_with_bezier`, `find_corners`, `subdivide_keep_corners`, `reduce`, `PathSimplify::*`) and cluster pixel access via `ClustersView`.
- **In-repo rewrite, clean break.** New workspace layout, new API, version bump. Old CLI flags are kept only where they map naturally.
- **Python binding stays** (ported to the new API). The **webapp GUI is dropped**; a wasm library crate replaces it.
- **New Node.js library** published to npm, using the wasm build internally plus a native image reader (sharp).

-
- `webapp/` and `cmdapp/` are deleted (git history preserves them).
- `vtracer` re-exports `vtracer-core`, so library users need a single dependency.
- During development the workspace carries `[patch.crates-io] visioncortex = { path = "../visioncortex" }`; releases pin a published 0.8.x.
- `flo_curves` (already in the tree via visioncortex) becomes a direct dependency of `vtracer-core` for configurable-error Bezier fitting.
-
-## Core IR
-
-Value types from `visioncortex` are reused where they fit (`ColorImage`, `Color`, `PointF64`, `CompoundPath`); the pipeline IR is our own:
-
-```rust
-/// Frontend output — the general form is ordered layers (painter's algorithm).
-pub struct Segmentation {
-    pub width: u32,
-    pub height: u32,
-    pub layers: Vec<Layer>,          // bottom-to-top paint order
-}
-
-pub struct Layer {
-    pub paint: Paint,                // starts as mean cluster color; ColorFitter may rewrite
-    pub mask: RegionMask,            // the cluster's pixel indices
-}
-
-/// Flat partition for mosaic mode, derived by painting layers top-down.
-pub struct LabelMap {
-    pub width: u32,
-    pub height: u32,
-    pub labels: Vec<u32>,            // one label per pixel; u32::MAX = OUTSIDE (keyed/transparent)
-    pub paints: Vec<Paint>,          // indexed by label
-}
-
-/// Output document IR — what the optimizer and the writer operate on.
-pub struct VectorDoc { pub width: u32, pub height: u32, pub shapes: Vec<Shape> }
-pub struct Shape     { pub paint: Paint, pub path: MultiPath }  // subpaths: MoveTo + (Line|Cubic)* + Close
-pub enum   Paint     { Solid(Color) }                           // room for gradients later
-```
-
-Why layers, not a label map, as the frontend output: in stacked mode clusters genuinely overlap (each hierarchical cluster is painted over its parents), which a flat label map cannot represent. The flat `LabelMap` needed by mosaic mode is derived from the layers by a top-down flatten — cheap and lossless for that purpose.
-
-## Stage traits
-
-All object-safe; the driver composes boxed trait objects (ergonomic across CLI/py/wasm boundaries, negligible dispatch cost next to the per-pixel work).
-
-```rust
-pub trait Frontend {
-    fn segment(&self, img: &ColorImage) -> Result<Segmentation, Error>;
-}
-
-pub trait ColorFitter {
-    fn fit(&self, seg: &mut Segmentation);
-}
-
-pub trait CurveFitter {
-    fn fit_closed(&self, polyline: &[PointF64]) -> Vec<PathCmd>;  // stacked outlines, rings
-    fn fit_open(&self, polyline: &[PointF64]) -> Vec<PathCmd>;    // mosaic edges, endpoints pinned
-}
-
-pub trait OptimizerPass {
-    fn run(&self, doc: &mut VectorDoc);
-}
-
-pub enum Compositing { Stacked, Mosaic }
-
-pub struct Pipeline {
-    pub frontend:      Box<dyn Frontend>,
-    pub color_fitters: Vec<Box<dyn ColorFitter>>,
-    pub fitter:        Box<dyn CurveFitter>,
-    pub compositing:   Compositing,
-    pub optimizers:    Vec<Box<dyn OptimizerPass>>,
-}
-
-impl Pipeline {
-    pub fn run(&self, img: &ColorImage) -> Result<VectorDoc, Error> { /* driver */ }
-}
-```
-
-Driver flow:
-
-1. `frontend.segment(img)` → `Segmentation`
-2. each `ColorFitter` rewrites layer paints (e.g. palette snapping)
-3. compositing:
-   - **Stacked** — trace each layer's closed outlines independently (port of today's `to_compound_path` flow) via `fitter.fit_closed`
-   - **Mosaic** — flatten to `LabelMap`, merge adjacent same-paint regions, extract the boundary graph, fit each shared edge once via `fitter.fit_open`, assemble faces (see [mosaic.md](mosaic.md))
-4. optimizer passes over the `VectorDoc`
-5. `SvgWriter` serializes
-
-## Built-in implementations
-
- **Frontends**
-  - `ColorClusterFrontend` — wraps `visioncortex::color_clusters::Runner`, including the transparency-keying logic that currently lives in `converter.rs` (find unused key color, key fully-transparent pixels, `KeyingAction`).
-  - `BinaryFrontend` — threshold → `BinaryImage::to_clusters`.
-  - Third parties implement `Frontend` to feed external label maps or ML segmentation.
- **ColorFitters**
-  - `Identity` (today's behavior: mean cluster color)
-  - `FixedPalette { colors: Vec<Color> }` — snaps each layer paint to the nearest palette entry in OKLab
-  - `AutoQuantize { max_colors }` — k-means/median-cut over layer paints
-  - After palette snapping, a built-in merge step unions adjacent regions with identical paint (mosaic path) / merges consecutive identical-paint layers (stacked path).
- **CurveFitters**
-  - `PixelFitter` — exact lattice polyline
-  - `PolygonFitter` — staircase-symmetric Douglas-Peucker
-  - `SplineFitter` — subdivision + corner detection + least-squares cubic fit (port of the visioncortex flow, extended to open polylines with pinned endpoints)
-
-## Optimizer and SVG writer
-
-Two levels: geometry passes over `VectorDoc`, then encoding choices in the writer.
-
- `QuantizePass { precision }` — round coordinates once, in document space. Replaces today's per-write rounding, and eliminates the per-path `translate(x,y)` transform by baking offsets into coordinates.
- `SimplifyPass` — drop zero-length and collinear-redundant segments *after* quantization.
- `SvgWriter { relative: bool, shorthands: bool, precision }` — per segment picks the shortest encoding:
-  - relative (`l c s h v`) vs absolute deltas, whichever serializes shorter
-  - `h`/`v` for axis-aligned lines, `s` for smooth cubic continuations
-  - number formatting: trim trailing zeros, omit the space before negative numbers, leading-dot decimals
- Paint grouping: shapes sharing a fill emitted inside `<g fill="…">` when it saves bytes.
-
-Output size is a tracked metric: the test suite asserts a byte-size budget against golden samples (see [roadmap.md](roadmap.md)).
-
-## CLI
-
-clap 4 derive, in the `vtracer` crate. Kept flags (mapping naturally): `-i/--input`, `-o/--output`, `--preset bw|poster|photo`, `--colormode color|bw`, `--filter_speckle`, `--color_precision`, `--gradient_step`, `--mode pixel|polygon|spline`, `--corner_threshold`, `--segment_length`, `--splice_threshold`, `--path_precision`.

-New:
-
- `--hierarchical stacked|cutout` — `cutout` now runs the true mosaic pipeline
- `--palette '#112233,#445566,…'` / `--palette-file colors.txt` — fixed palette color fitting
- `--optimize 0..2` — optimizer level (0 = off, 1 = quantize+simplify, 2 = + full writer shorthands/grouping)
- mosaic extras: `--seam-stroke`, `--mosaic-strict` (see mosaic.md)
-
-Range validation moves from `panic!` to clap `value_parser` ranges.

-# Bindings
-
-Backend/CLI focused, with three language surfaces on top of `vtracer-core`. Everything except image file I/O compiles to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.
-
-## Python (PyPI)
-
-Lives in the `vtracer` crate behind the `python-binding` feature (keeps the existing maturin / PyPI Trusted Publisher workflow intact).
-
- Ported functions with today's signatures: `convert_image_to_svg_py(image_path, out_path, **config)` and `convert_raw_image_to_svg(img_bytes, img_format=None, **config) -> str`.
- New kwargs: `palette: list[str]` (hex colors), `optimize: int`, and `hierarchical='cutout'` now meaning true mosaic.
-
-## Wasm (`vtracer-wasm` crate)
-
-wasm-bindgen bindings over `vtracer-core`, replacing the old `webapp/` (the GUI demo is dropped).
-
-```text
-convert(rgba: Uint8Array, width: u32, height: u32, config_json: string) -> string  // SVG
-```
-
- Input is raw RGBA pixels — no image decoding in wasm (keeps the module small; decoding is the host's job).
- The `fastrand/js` feature wiring moves here.
- Built with `wasm-pack`; consumed by the Node.js package below and usable directly in browsers/bundlers.
-
-## Node.js (npm)
-
-New top-level `nodejs/` directory; recommended package name **`@visioncortex/vtracer`** (scoped — avoids collision/squatting on bare `vtracer`).
-
-Design: wasm internally, native image reading.
-
- The `vtracer-wasm` build (`wasm-pack --target nodejs`) is **embedded in the package** — no network fetch, works offline.
- **[sharp](https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/)** (native libvips binding with prebuilt binaries) decodes PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF/AVIF/TIFF to raw RGBA, which is fed to the wasm converter. sharp is a regular dependency (this is a Node-focused library); the pixel-level API still works if the native install fails.

-# Mosaic Mode — Seam-Free Cutout
-
-Today's cutout re-renders the clustered image and re-clusters it, then traces every region independently; independently smoothed neighbors diverge, producing seams. The new mosaic mode replaces it with a topological pipeline that is seam-free **by construction**:
-
-```
-label map (Vec<u32>, W·H)
-  → 1. boundary-graph extraction (nodes, shared segments, rings)   [integer, exact]
-  → 2. face assembly (per-region contours as cycles of (seg, dir)) [integer, exact]
-  → 3. fit each segment ONCE (pluggable pixel/polygon/spline)      [float, endpoints pinned]
-  → 4. compose per-region SVG paths from shared fitted segments
-```
-
-Every boundary curve exists exactly once; the two adjacent regions reference the same fitted object, one traversed reversed. Reversal is exact for both polylines and cubic Beziers (`[p0,p1,p2,p3] → [p3,p2,p1,p0]`), so the serialized coordinates are identical text on both sides — no seams, no T-junction cracks.
-
-**Coordinate convention**: pixel `(x,y)` occupies the unit square `(x,y)..(x+1,y+1)`; all boundary geometry lives on the lattice of pixel corners `0..=W × 0..=H` ("crack" boundaries). Stages 1–2 are pure integer arithmetic.
-
-## 1. Boundary-graph extraction
-
-### Definitions
-
- `type RegionId = u32; const OUTSIDE: RegionId = u32::MAX;` — `label(x,y)` returns `OUTSIDE` out of bounds. Treating outside as a real label removes all image-border special cases: border edges and border junctions fall out of the same rules.
- At lattice corner `c=(x,y)` the 2×2 pixel neighborhood is `NW NE / SW SE`. Four potential unit edges at `c`: N present iff `NW≠NE`, E iff `NE≠SE`, S iff `SW≠SE`, W iff `NW≠SW`. Degree = popcount ∈ {0, 2, 3, 4}.
- Quadrant/edge incidence for traversal: NE ↔ {N,E}, SE ↔ {E,S}, SW ↔ {S,W}, NW ↔ {W,N}.
-
-### Node rule (junctions) and the checkerboard decision
-
-**A corner is a node iff degree ≥ 3.**
-
- Three distinct labels in the 2×2 always gives degree ≥ 3 — "3+ regions meet here" is covered.
- Degree 4 with two labels is exactly the checkerboard `A B / B A` (diagonal contact). **Decision: it is a junction node of 4 edges, and faces are pinched there.** The traversal rule below always takes the sharpest right turn, staying within the current quadrant, never crossing diagonally. If clustering was 8-connected (visioncortex `diagonal: true`), a two-lobe region yields **two separate simple contours** sharing the node coordinate but no edges — emitted as one SVG path with two subpaths. Faces stay simple; the tessellation stays exact.
- Image corners (three quadrants OUTSIDE) are degree-2 chain points, not nodes. Points where two regions meet the border are degree 3 — nodes automatically.
-
-Invariant used by segment tracing: at a degree-2 corner the 2×2 contains exactly two labels and both incident edges separate the same unordered pair — so the (left, right) region pair is constant along any chain of degree-2 corners.
-
-### Data structures

-    pub out: [Option<SegRef>; 4],         // outgoing directed segment per unit direction N,E,S,W
-}
-
-pub struct Segment {
-    pub points: Vec<PointI32>,  // lattice polyline; len >= 2; ring: points[0] == points[last]
-    pub start: Option<NodeId>,  // None,None for rings (no junction anywhere on the loop)
-    pub end:   Option<NodeId>,  // start may == end (self-loop pinned at one node)
-    pub left:  RegionId,        // region on the left traversing forward (y-down convention)
-    pub right: RegionId,        // either side may be OUTSIDE
-}
-
-pub struct Contour(pub Vec<SegRef>);      // cycle; a ring is a 1-element contour
-pub struct Face { pub region: RegionId, pub contours: Vec<Contour> }
-
-pub struct BoundaryGraph {
-    pub nodes: Vec<Node>,
-    pub segments: Vec<Segment>,
-    pub faces: Vec<Face>,
-}
-```
-
-Transient: `corner_mask: Vec<u8>` of `(W+1)·(H+1)` (4-bit edge mask + node flag), a corner-index → `NodeId` map, and visited bitsets for undirected edges (horizontal `W·(H+1)`, vertical `(W+1)·H`; closed-form edge ids, no hashing).
-
-"Left" in y-down screen space: heading E → left pixel above; heading S → left pixel to the east; heading W → below; heading N → to the west (4-entry lookup).
-
-### Extraction passes
-
-```
-Pass A — classify corners: O((W+1)(H+1))
-  for each lattice corner: compute 4-bit edge mask from the 2x2 labels
-  (OUTSIDE for out-of-bounds); allocate a node id where popcount >= 3
-
-Pass B — trace node-to-node segments:
-  for each node n, for each present direction d not yet visited:
-    walk unit edges, at each degree-2 corner continue via the unique other
-    present edge, until reaching a node; record polyline, start/end nodes,
-    left/right regions; register both directed views in the node tables
-
-Pass C — closed rings:
-  for each unvisited boundary edge (raster order): walk until returning to
-  the start corner; record as a Segment with start = end = None
-```
-
-Complexity O(W·H + E); every boundary edge is walked exactly once here and once more during face assembly.
-
-Corner cases handled: self-loop segments (a lobe outline returning to the same node — open for fitting purposes, endpoint pinned); whole-image single region (no nodes; Pass C finds the border rectangle as a ring against OUTSIDE); single-pixel regions.
-
-### Successor rule (region kept on the left)
-
-Given an incoming directed unit edge into corner `c`, tracing region R:
-
-```
-candidates in priority order: [turn_right(d_in), straight(d_in), turn_left(d_in)]
-next = first d such that edge (c,d) is present AND left_pixel(c,d) == R
-```
-
-Right-first implements the pinch at checkerboard nodes (both right and straight can have R on the left there; right-first stays in the current quadrant, keeping contours simple). At 3/4-label junctions exactly one candidate qualifies. A u-turn is never needed.
-
-## 2. Face assembly
-
-Lift the successor rule to whole segments (two directed views per segment, 2-bit usage set):
-
-```
-for each directed segment s with region R on its left, not yet used:
-    follow successor at each end node until returning to s → one Contour of R
-for each ring r:
-    left(r) gets [forward], right(r) gets [reversed]   (skip OUTSIDE sides)
-```
-
-**Winding falls out automatically**: interior-always-on-left gives outer contours one orientation and hole contours the opposite. Therefore each region is emitted as a single `<path fill-rule="nonzero">` whose `d` concatenates all its contours as subpaths — **no containment/nesting computation is needed**. `nonzero` (rather than `evenodd`) is robust to contours touching at pinch points.
-
-Debug invariants: every directed segment used exactly once; per-region i64 shoelace area (holes negative) equals the region's pixel count; the global sum equals W·H minus OUTSIDE pixels.
-
-## 3. Fitting — once per segment, endpoints pinned
-
-```rust
-pub enum FittedGeom {
-    Polyline(Vec<PointF64>),        // pixel / polygon backends
-    Beziers(Vec<[PointF64; 4]>),    // spline backend; consecutive curves share endpoints
-}
-
-pub trait SegmentFitter {
-    fn fit_open(&self, seg: &Segment) -> FittedSegment;  // endpoints pinned to lattice nodes
-    fn fit_ring(&self, seg: &Segment) -> FittedSegment;  // closed loop, no pinned point
-}
-```
-
-Fitted results are cached in a `Vec<FittedSegment>` indexed by `SegId`; both adjacent faces reference the cache. Reversal happens at composition time and is exact, so shared geometry is bitwise identical — identical f64 values round identically under `path_precision`, and the emitted coordinate text matches on both sides.
-
-### Backends
-
- **PixelFitter** — identity (lattice points as f64). Exact tessellation; the reference implementation for tests.
- **PolygonFitter** — symmetric open Douglas-Peucker with endpoints always kept (own ~40-line implementation). Deliberately **not** `PathSimplify::remove_staircase`: its directional outset would bias every shared boundary toward one of its two neighbors. Plain DP collapses 1-px staircases to the crack midline — centered between the two regions, which is what a mosaic wants. Self-loops split at the farthest point first.
- **SplineFitter** — open-path port of the visioncortex pipeline:
-  1. DP(tau) first — staircases must be gone before corner detection, or every stair step reads as a 90° corner.
-  2. Corner detection without wraparound; **both endpoints forced as corners** (junction nodes stay pinned).
-  3. Open-path 4-point `subdivide_keep_corners` (no modular indexing; corner points are copied, never displaced).
-  4. Open-path `find_splice_points` (inflections + accumulated-turn threshold); endpoints forced as splice points.
-  5. Per slice: least-squares cubic fit. `SubdivideSmooth::fit_points_with_bezier` is already endpoint-exact (p1/p4 are taken from the input), so pinning survives fitting for free — but its internal error is hardcoded to 10.0, so vtracer-core calls `flo_curves::bezier::Curve::fit_from_points` directly with a configurable `max_error`, recursively splitting a slice at its farthest point when the budget is exceeded.
- **Rings** (islands with no junctions) are fitted once as *closed* paths using the closed-path machinery; the island uses the result forward as its outline, the enclosing region uses it reversed as a hole — same cached object, identical geometry.
-
-### Deviation budget and overlap tolerance
-
-Adjacent segments meet only at exact shared node coordinates — gaps are impossible. The remaining risk is a smoothed segment crossing a *different, non-adjacent* segment. Distinct boundary polylines are at least 1 px apart on the lattice, so keeping **maximum deviation < 0.5 px at every stage** (DP tau 0.5, bezier `max_error` 0.5, subdivision defaults well inside that) prevents crossings. This is not formally proven at the Bezier stage (error is sampled), so:
-
- default: accept the pragmatic budget — a hairline overlap between two abutting fills is visually harmless and can never produce a gap worse than the budget;
- `--mosaic-strict`: sample each fitted segment (~8 samples/curve), and fall back to the DP polyline for any segment exceeding the budget — restoring the hard guarantee at the cost of local smoothness;
- the pixel backend gives bit-exact tessellation.
-
-## 4. Composition
-
-Per region, one `<path fill="{color}" fill-rule="nonzero">`; the `d` string is built contour by contour, emitting each oriented segment while skipping its first point (identical to the previous segment's last point). T-junction cracks are structurally impossible: segments terminate at nodes, no curve ever spans across one, and all incident curves end at the exact integer node coordinate.
-
-## 5. Paint-order independence and anti-aliasing
-
-Geometric coverage is a perfect partition, so rendering is paint-order independent — the defining property of mosaic mode. Antialiasing renderers still blend a hairline along abutting edges (each path is composited independently against the backdrop); that is a renderer artifact of any abutting vector art, not a geometry defect. Optional mitigations:
-
-1. `--seam-stroke` — stroke each path in its own fill color (`stroke-width` 0.5–1, round joins). Hides AA hairlines; reintroduces mild paint-order sensitivity (cosmetic, documented).
-2. `shape-rendering="crispEdges"` output option — kills AA entirely (jaggy but seamless).
-3. Stacked mode remains the AA-safe alternative (seams hidden under overdraw); mosaic gives true tessellation semantics — editable, no hidden geometry, order-free.
-
-## Label-map source
-
-`LabelMap::from_clusters(&ClustersView)` stamps dense region ids by iterating `clusters_output` → each cluster's pixel indices. It must **not** read `cluster_indices` directly — that maps pixels to base-level clusters, not the hierarchical output set. Unstamped (keyed/transparent) pixels become `OUTSIDE`.
-
-## Test plan
-
-Unit tests on hand-built const-grid label maps:
-
- 1×1 and full-image single region → one ring against OUTSIDE
- vertical split `A|B` → 2 border junction nodes, 3 segments, correct left/right and windings
- T-junction `A A / B C` → interior degree-3 node; three faces share the exact node coordinate
- checkerboard `A B / B A` with merged diagonal labels → degree-4 node, pinch: two simple contours touching at the point, exact coverage
- nested islands A ⊃ B ⊃ C → rings only; shared cached geometry asserted
- border-touching region, 1-px corridor, single-pixel island, self-loop segment
- reversal exactness: the two SVG coordinate substrings for a shared segment are identical strings
-
-Property tests (proptest, random maps ≤ 12×12, ≤ 5 labels; label connectivity not required):
-
- every undirected boundary edge appears in exactly two directed traversals
- per-region shoelace area == pixel count; total == W·H
- **PixelFitter round-trip: scanline-rasterize the composed faces → byte-identical label map** (the strongest end-to-end guarantee; catches winding/pinch/orientation bugs)
- Polygon/Spline: sampled max deviation ≤ budget; all segment endpoints exactly on node lattice coordinates
-
-Integration: run on the sample images; snapshot SVGs; rasterize with resvg and assert the color diff against the label map is confined to a ~1-px boundary band.

-
-## Milestones
-
-Each milestone leaves the repo building and tested.
-
-1. **Scaffold** — new workspace (`crates/vtracer-core`, `crates/vtracer`); IR + stage traits; port the existing stacked pipeline behind them, behavior-identical; golden-SVG snapshot tests over the sample images; CLI ported to clap 4 (range validation via `value_parser`, no more `panic!`).
-2. **Writer + optimizer** — `VectorDoc` writer with relative/shorthand encoding, `QuantizePass`, `SimplifyPass`; byte-size benchmark vs the 0.6.x output; rasterize-and-diff regression (resvg) proving visual equivalence.
-3. **Color fitting** — `FixedPalette` (OKLab nearest) + `AutoQuantize` + adjacent-region merge; `--palette` / `--palette-file` CLI.
-4. **Mosaic** — boundary-graph module + open-polyline fitting (see [mosaic.md](mosaic.md)); `--hierarchical cutout` switched to the true mosaic; full unit/property test suite.
-5. **Bindings** — pyo3 port, `vtracer-wasm`, the npm package under `nodejs/`; delete `webapp/`; CI covers crates.io + PyPI + npm releases.
-
-## Verification strategy
-
- **Unit** — hand-crafted label maps for mosaic (checkerboard, T-junction, nested islands, border-touching, self-loops); fitter round-trips; writer encoding cases.
- **Snapshot** — golden SVGs for the sample images per preset/mode; asserted byte-size budget for the optimizer.
- **Property** (proptest) — mosaic invariants: every boundary edge used exactly twice; shoelace area == pixel counts; PixelFitter rasterize round-trip is byte-identical to the label map; fitted deviation ≤ 0.5 px budget; endpoints exact on lattice nodes.
- **Visual** — rasterize output with resvg; pixel-diff/SSIM against the input (thresholded) and against pre-rewrite output for stacked mode; mosaic diffs confined to a ~1-px boundary band.
- **Targets** — `cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p vtracer-core -p vtracer-wasm`; `maturin build` with `python-binding`; `npm test` in `nodejs/`.

-# Stacked-Mode Equivalence Report
-
-**Question:** does the rewritten 1.0 pipeline (`crates/vtracer`) reproduce the
-shipping 0.6.x pipeline (`cmdapp/`) in **stacked** mode, byte-for-byte?
-
-**Verdict:** **Yes.** Across a systematic sweep of **475 parameter
-configurations**, every fitted path is geometrically identical (worst
-coordinate deviation **1e-8 px** — float-serialization noise). The only
-differences are two intentional, visually-invisible ones (documented below).
-
-Date: 2026-07-24. Comparison target: `pixel`, `polygon`, `spline` fitters;
-`color` and `bw` color modes.
-
---
-
-## Scope
-
- **Stacked only.** Old `--hierarchical cutout` is the *fake* cutout (re-render
-  the clustered image, re-cluster, retrace); new `cutout` is the topological
-  mosaic. They are deliberately different algorithms and are **not** expected to
-  match. Mosaic is verified separately (pixel round-trip + seam tests).
- **Geometry, not pixels.** Comparison parses each SVG's `<path d>` (applying
-  any `transform="translate()"`) into absolute coordinates and compares those
-  directly. This is stronger than a raster diff (no antialiasing fuzz) and
-  isolates the pipeline from the SVG writer.
- **`--path-precision 8`.** High precision so writer rounding can never mask a
-  real geometry difference. (At the default precision 2, the two writers round
-  slightly differently — see *Known differences*.)
-
-## Reference oracle
-
-`cmdapp/` (0.6.x) is built with **matched dependencies** — the same local
-`visioncortex` 0.9.0 and `image` 0.25 as the new crates — so the comparison
-isolates *pipeline logic* from library drift:
-
- Same `visioncortex` ⇒ identical clustering and curve fitting primitives.
- Same `image` ⇒ identical decoding (JPEG decoding is decoder-version
-  dependent; PNG is lossless either way).
-
-New is run with `--optimize 0` (no optimizer passes, absolute writer) so the
-comparison reflects the tracing/fitting pipeline, not the optimizer. The
-optimizer is verified lossless separately.
-
-## Parameter space
-
-| Parameter | Range swept | Affects |
-|---|---|---|
-| `colormode` | color, bw | frontend |
-| `mode` | pixel, polygon, spline | curve fitter |
-| `filter_speckle` | 0 – 16 | frontend (min area) |
-| `color_precision` | 1 – 8 | color clustering |
-| `gradient_step` | 0 – 255 | color layer difference |
-| `corner_threshold` | 0 – 180 | spline |
-| `segment_length` | 3.5 – 10 | spline |
-| `splice_threshold` | 0 – 180 | spline |
-
-The full Cartesian product is ~10¹²; instead the sweep uses a layered strategy
-that touches every value of every parameter plus randomized interactions.
-
-## Coverage & results
-
-475 configurations, tank-unit-preview.png (PNG) plus a Gum Tree (JPEG) baseline set:
-
-| Group | Configs | Geometry failures | Worst Δ |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| Categorical cross (colormode × mode) | 6 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| `filter_speckle` 0–16 × mode × colormode | 102 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| `color_precision` 1–8 × mode | 24 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| `gradient_step` 0–255 × mode | 39 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| `corner_threshold` 0–180 (spline) | 26 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| `segment_length` 3.5–10 (spline) | 9 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| `splice_threshold` 0–180 (spline) | 13 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| Random joint combinations | 250 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| Second image (Gum Tree, JPEG) | 6 | 0 | 1e-8 |
-| **Total** | **475** | **0** | **1e-8** |
-
- **Geometry mismatches (> 1e-6 px): 0.**
- **Empty-path-count divergences: 10** (cosmetic; see below).
-
-By fitter: `pixel` and `polygon` are byte-for-byte identical in both color and
-bw. `spline` geometry is identical to 1e-8; the sub-pixel deltas visible at low
-`--path-precision` are writer rounding, not geometry.
-
-## Known differences (intentional, invisible)
-
-1. **SVG encoding.** The new writer uses compact relative/shorthand commands
-   with offsets baked into coordinates; 0.6.x used absolute coordinates plus a
-   per-path `transform="translate()"`. Same geometry, different bytes — by
-   design (the new writer is smaller). Verified equal after parsing to absolute
-   coordinates.
-
-2. **Empty paths.** At `filter_speckle = 0`, tiny (≈1px) clusters survive
-   filtering; their spline fit is empty. 0.6.x emits a degenerate
-   `<path d="">` for each (e.g. 67 of them in one bw/spline case); the new
-   pipeline omits them. They render nothing, so output is visually identical.
-   This accounts for all 10 "empty-path divergences" and appears only at the
-   nonsensical `filter_speckle = 0`.
-
-## Bugs found and fixed during this verification
-
-This report's process surfaced two real bugs (both fixed, both now
-regression-guarded):
-
-1. **Stacked layers had holes/seams.** The color frontend traced clusters with
-   holes punched (`to_image_with_hole(.., true)`); stacked mode must trace
-   *solid* layers and rely on paint-order overdraw (`false`). Symptom: hairline
-   seams (partial-alpha jumped 4.86% → 0.36% after the fix).
-   Guard: `stacked_has_no_seams` (a full-coverage image must render fully
-   opaque — zero backdrop show-through).
-
-2. **Relative writer placed holes wrong.** After `Z`, SVG resets the current
-   point to the subpath start; the emitter left it at the last vertex, so a
-   relative `m` for a hole/second subpath was offset. Only visible on
-   multi-subpath shapes at `optimize=1/2`.
-   Guard: `relative_and_absolute_encode_same_geometry` (a holed shape must
-   encode identically absolute vs relative).
-
-## Harness caveats (for reproduction)
-
- 0.6.x accepts only `--mode` (no `-m`) and treats `--colormode` as binary
-  **only for the value `bw`** — `binary` silently falls through to color. Use
-  `bw` for both binaries.
- 0.6.x spline mode `pixel` maps to `PathSimplifyMode::None`.
-
-## Reproduction
-
-`cmdapp/` (0.6.x) was removed from the tree after this verification; restore it
-from git history (the commit before "Remove the 0.6.x cmdapp crate") to
-reproduce.
-
-1. Temporarily point `cmdapp/Cargo.toml` at the matched dependencies
-   (`image = "0.25"`, `visioncortex = { version = "0.9", path = "../../visioncortex" }`)
-   and build both binaries:
-   ```sh
-   cargo build --release --manifest-path cmdapp/Cargo.toml
-   cargo build --release -p vtracer-cli
-   ```
-2. For each configuration, run both binaries in stacked mode with
-   `--path-precision 8` (new also with `--optimize 0`), remembering the harness
-   caveats above (`--mode` not `-m`; `--colormode bw`).
-3. Parse each SVG's `<path d>` into absolute coordinates (apply any
-   `transform="translate()"`), drop empty paths, and compare the coordinate
-   sequences. Equivalent ⇔ per-coordinate deviation < 1e-6.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-In stacked mode the new pipeline is a **byte-for-byte-faithful reimplementation**
-of 0.6.x across the full parameter space for `pixel` and `polygon`, and
-geometrically identical for `spline`. Remaining differences are limited to the
-intentional compact SVG encoding and the omission of degenerate empty paths.

-# vtracer (Node.js)
-
-Raster → vector (SVG) for Node, a WebAssembly build of the
-[`vtracer`](https://github.com/visioncortex/vtracer) framework. Image decoding
-and vectorization both happen in wasm, so there is **no native dependency** —
-just `npm install`.
-
-## Install
-
-```sh
-npm install @visioncortex/vtracer
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-```js
-const vtracer = require('@visioncortex/vtracer');
-
-// file in, file out
-await vtracer.convertFile('in.png', 'out.svg');
-await vtracer.convertFile('in.jpg', 'out.svg', { mode: 'polygon', hierarchical: 'cutout' });
-
-// buffers
-const svg = vtracer.convertBuffer(fs.readFileSync('in.png'), { preset: 'poster' });
-
-// raw RGBA8 pixels
-const svg2 = vtracer.convertPixels(rgba, width, height, { colorMode: 'bw' });
-```
-
-## API
-
- `convertBuffer(buffer, options?) => string` — encoded image (PNG/JPEG/GIF/BMP) → SVG.
- `convertPixels(rgba, width, height, options?) => string` — raw RGBA8 → SVG.
- `convertFile(input, output, options?) => Promise<void>` — read, trace, write.
- `convertFileSync(input, output, options?) => void`.
-
-### `Options` (all optional, camelCase)
-
-`preset` (`"bw" | "poster" | "photo"`, applied first), `colorMode`
-(`"color" | "bw"`), `hierarchical` (`"stacked" | "cutout"` for the seam-free
-mosaic), `mode` (`"pixel" | "polygon" | "spline"`), `filterSpeckle`,
-`colorPrecision`, `layerDifference`, `cornerThreshold`, `lengthThreshold`,
-`maxIterations`, `spliceThreshold`, `pathPrecision`, `palette` (list of
-`#rrggbb`), `maxColors`, `optimize` (`0 | 1 | 2`).
