feat(MIT): #183 slice 1 — pure squeeze + collision + bounds geometry …

…(TDD)

Acceptance #1: pure squeeze_factors (1.0 then x0.90 per retry, max_squeezes+1
entries), box_overlaps (AABB 4-corner collision, edge-touch excluded),
points_exceed_bounds + clamp_points_to_bounds (pre-warp bounds check + clamp-with-
flag so off-canvas text can be logged instead of silently dropped). 12 unit tests,
font-free, all green.

Slice 2 wires these into the fit loop behind render.bubble_area_fit (squeeze on
collision up to 3x; clamp+log instead of silent clip) -> off = byte-identical,
then benchmark + PIPELINE.md/BENCHMARK.md.

…2026-06-29 results

Reusable: before closing/starting a big issue backlog, verify against the real
codebase with an ultracode verify+skeptic-per-issue workflow (judged vs
origin/main), not titles — this is how we caught that #419 duplicated #277 and
the .env flux force-on bug. Includes the rate-limit->resume and
bulk-close->one-at-a-time gotchas. Findings/closures live in DONE.md (2026-06-29).

Render-quality milestone — One-Punch benchmark parity with the MangaT…

…ranslator reference.

The cumulative translation-render quality work that closed the visual gap to the reference
(raw JP SFX + painted band + clipped text  ->  translated SFX + clean texture-reconstructed
erase + fitted multilingual dialogue):

- Render parity (#176 / #179 / #181): EN comic font + ALL-CAPS, bubble-seg YOLO masks,
  narrow-column wrap, 4x supersampling, clean_layout.
- SFX detection + VLM rescue (#168): AnimeText 2nd-pass detector + vision-LLM localization.
- Flux Klein optional inpainter (#272 / #273 / #274 / #275, ADR 003): band/ghost fix via
  texture reconstruction; VRAM-neutral (cached prompt embedding + load/unload).
- Multilingual SFX + jieba CJK line-break (#277): TH / ZH / KO parity (target-language
  onomatopoeia + word-aware wrapping).
- ADR audit: docs/adr/004-015 (decision trail for the MIT/Backend/Frontend surface).

Merge commit c31ff81 (PR #277). Follow-up: #278. Before/after: docs/images/render-quality/.
