Nine-slice and the sort line hung on the texture frame alone. Drawing
and sorting already read both off the TextureRef every picture hands
out, but the generated pictures always said "no slice, no line". So
the feature moves from the frame to the picture, without a second
copy of any rule.
- PictureCut (border, fill, sortLine) is one type. TextureFrame
extends it, PixelArtAsset and VectorArtAsset carry it as a whole.
The texture file format does not change, and no migration is needed.
- The rules in texture.ts take a cut and a size: cutSortLine,
setCutSlice, rawCutSlice and the rest replace the frame* versions.
serialize.ts reads all three through one readCut.
- cutTarget.ts resolves a target to cut and size: a texture frame, a
pixel frame's size or the vector canvas. It lives apart from
texture.ts because vectorart.ts reaches texture.ts itself.
- SetSliceCommand and SetSortLineCommand take that target instead of
(assetId, frameId). They refuse an asset that draws no picture.
- generatedRef fills slice and sortLine from the drawing. The whole
strip of a pixel art asset with several frames gets none, it is no
picture of that size. With one frame asset and frame are the same.
- Nine-slice scale is one shared schema row, now also on pixel art and
vector art.
- cutSection.ts holds the NINE-SLICE and SORTING rows once. The frame
inspector and the drawing inspector both build them.
- SheetCanvas draws a drawing's lines that are set, dashed as in the
Texture tab. They are not dragged there, the painting tools own the
canvas (as proposed in the issue).
- drawOrder falls back to the picture's height when a ref has no
rect, or a sort line on vector art would have been ignored.
Tests:
- Gate: 232 files, 3542 tests (+8: drawing-cut.test.ts, and vector
art in sort-by-y.test.ts). Three counter-proofs bite: no cut on a
drawing, a cut on the whole strip, no height fallback.
- e2e 48: 44 checks (+1, sum 1732). 48l-ii reads red and blue where
12-pixel borders at scale 2 put them. Without borders both spots
read green.
- Looked at: the Pixel art tab with the lines, and the sliced sprite.

A sprite sorted by Y stood on the bottom of its box. With a shadow or
empty rows under the feet that is too low, so a figure slipped in
front of a tree it should stand behind. The line belongs to the frame,
not the texture, because one texture can hold several sprite sheets.
- New field `sortLine` on a frame: whole image pixels up from the
frame's bottom edge, 0 to the frame height. 0 is stored as nothing,
so old projects stay the same. Shrinking a frame keeps the line
inside it.
- `feetOf` in drawOrder.ts lifts a sprite by the same share of its
box. Scene view, game view, play and picking all use it. In an
animation the line of the frame shown right now counts.
- The texture tab draws the selected frame's line dashed in yellow
with a knob left of the frame. At 0 the line shares the bottom edge
with the nine-slice border and a resize handle, so the knob is
tested first. A line inside the frame can be dragged directly,
tested after the nine-slice lines.
- The inspector has a new "Sorting" section with a "Sort line"
field. Dragging or typing is one undo step each.
Limit: frames of one walk cycle need the same value, set by hand.
Otherwise the figure changes its place in the order while walking.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 160 files, 2356 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (before 2350).
- 6 new unit tests in tests/viewport/sort-by-y.test.ts.
- e2e 37 and 39-43: ALL PASSED, 162 checks. New check 37b-ii drags
the knob up 6 px and undoes it, plus the inspector row.
- Counter checks: if feetOf ignores the line, exactly the 3 order
tests fail. If the knob cannot be grabbed, 37b-ii fails.
- The e2e sum in the README is 1380, counted, not yet seen in CI.

Drawing an outline by hand for every frame of a sheet is slow, and the
outline mostly follows the opaque part of the image anyway. The texture
tab now traces it: one click, a corner budget, and every Frame
collision collider and tile using that frame blocks with the result.
- "Generate collision..." sits in the texture tab header and is off
while the texture has no frames.
- The dialog has Max points (default 8, 3 to 64), Solid from ... %
alpha (default 50) and All frames of the texture. A live line says
what Generate will write, and Generate stays off when nothing is
solid enough.
- traceCollision walks each island of solid pixels along the pixel
edges, then drops the least important corners until at most N are
left and no stair step remains. A slope becomes one straight edge.
- An outline never crosses itself. Where the image would force that,
the island's convex hull is taken instead.
- Crumbs under 1 % of the frame area are dropped unless they are the
only island. Holes are not reproduced.
- Existing outlines are replaced. One frame or all frames is a single
undo step.
- TextureLibrary hands out the sheet's RGBA data, and a pure function
cuts a frame's region from it.
Findings:
- The wedge in the e2e fixture gets 4 corners, not 3. Its tip is one
pixel wide in the image, and that real edge stays while corners are
still free.
Tests:
- ./check.sh: 131 files, 1941 tests, CHECK EXIT 0 (was 130 / 1931).
- 10 new unit tests in tests/core/trace-collision.test.ts, including
150 random shapes that must all be valid and within the budget.
- GM_STEPS=42, freshly seeded: ALL PASSED, 20 checks (was 16).
- Three counter-probes bite: no hull fallback, no stair threshold,
dialog ignoring the alpha threshold.
- Check sum 1202 in README is computed (1198 + 4), CI measures it.

TextureFrame carries optional `border` (left/right/top/bottom) and
`fill` (stretch | repeat); absent keys mean "not sliced", so no format
bump and undo restores the plain frame instead of four zeroes.
The sliced sprite builds its own geometry instead of the shared
UNIT_QUAD: a 4x4 grid, and for `repeat` one quad per tile carrying the
frame cell's real UVs -- tiling in the geometry, not in the sampler, so
a frame out of a sheet cannot pull its neighbour in. Above 64 tiles per
axis it stretches, to bound the buffer.
A sprite narrower than left+right scales both borders down together
until the middle is exactly 0, so the corners meet at a seam and never
overlap.
The texture editor gets four draggable border lines plus the same four
numbers in the inspector. Hit order is resize handles, then the lines,
then the frame body -- handleAt reports 'move' anywhere inside a frame,
so lines placed after it were unreachable.

Remove comments that only restate the code, keeping the section banners
and the notes that carry a reason, a measured fact or an external
contract.
ButtonOptions.width claimed to be a fixed width but only set minWidth,
so the Graph and Texture pickers grew with the name they showed. It is
now what it promises, with a separate minWidth for the buttons that have
two forms. Narrow buttons shrink their padding, otherwise a 24px icon
button had 8px left for its glyph and truncate dropped it entirely.
__gm.labelsDropped() guards that class: the overflow guard only saw text
that was too wide, never a label truncated to nothing.

A new Texture tab next to Scene/Game/Graph shows a texture sheet and lets
frames be drawn on it: drag to create, move, resize via eight handles, edit
name and rect in the inspector, Delete to remove. Every change is a command,
so one gesture is one undo step. "Slice..." cuts a grid from columns and rows
with optional offset and spacing, previewing the resulting frame count and
cell size live.
Sprites pick a frame instead of the whole texture through the same `texture`
property: it now holds either a texture id or a frame id. Frame ids come from
the same generator and are document-wide unique, so one picker, one property
and one set of instance overrides cover both cases, and every sprite written
before this still means the same thing.
A Graphics fill ignores a Pixi sub-texture's frame and draws the whole image,
because it derives its uvs from the shape bounds and the inverted style
matrix. The cutout is therefore a matrix (`viewport/textureFill.ts`), which
keeps a sheet at a single GPU upload no matter how many of its frames are on
screen at once.
