slideforge-rust v0.5.0 — Auto-Scaling + Strict Overflow Gates

What's new in v0.5.0

Slide-body auto-scaling (16 slide types)

Overflow protection is now built into the renderers — content is fit, not clipped:

• big_statement, text_block, definition, comment_cta, before_after_story, testimonial_avatar, image_headline, image_quote, image_callout — heading/body font sizes fit to line budgets with density tiers
• table — hard 8-row cap + wrap-aware density tiers + +N more caption
• timeline / faq — wrap-aware estimates, item ceilings (6 / 4)
• logo_cloud — count-driven tile sizing (max 8)
• gauge, scatter_plot, table — data-driven captions (no generic fallback text)

Stricter validation gates (hard errors, not warnings)

• Item ceilings: timeline 6, faq 4, table 8, logo_cloud 8
• Per-field char caps calibrated to renderer floor math (heading 80, body 110, term 50, …)
• metric_grid requires a mandatory description
• Metric labels capped at 20 chars

Renderer fixes (blitz-era)

• Deterministic Google Fonts loading (vendored data-URI woff2, latin-subset collapse kills glyph mixing)
• :has() → marker classes for background bleed; table border-collapse: separate

Artifacts

• slideforge-x86_64-linux-gnu — dynamically linked glibc build
• slideforge-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl — fully static (static-pie, vendored static fontconfig/freetype/expat) — zero-dependency deployment on any x86_64 Linux
