Part of #1782. These are three small points from the second review of #1823, which merged before they could go in.

What changes

• An export says only what its last pass drew. complete already let only its last pass say whether cast shadows were still to come. The notices of layers drawn without them were not reset the same way. A notice from an earlier pass could therefore survive a later pass that drew the layer with its shadows, and the file would say they were missing. Each pass now starts without notices, and an export says only its last pass's. What frames before it said is kept for shadows_said, as for the flag. (thread)
• The tilted wait test no longer depends on the worker's speed. a_tilted_export_waits_for_the_cast_shadows_its_bands_draw checked only that the grid was ready after the export. On a 64 × 64 raster the work could finish during the draw, so the test passed even if the export didn't wait.
  • It now holds the work with hold_cast_shadows() and runs the export on a thread of its own.
  • It polls RasterLayer::cast_shadow_waiters() (hidden, for tests), which counts who waits for the layer's grids, its copies' too. Either the export says it waits, and can't end while the work is held, or it ends without waiting. No timing decides either way.
  • It then lets the work go and checks the grid was drawn.
  • Checked by hand: with the wait reduced to the view's centre scale, the test fails. (thread)
• start_light's doc comment is back on it. It had been left above the new LIGHT_HOLD static. (thread)

UI evidence

No visible change.

Tests

fmt and clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings are clean. The map, render, engine and ui-egui tests pass. Two tests fail on this computer only, from its environment:

• gdal_formats_open_when_gdal_is_installed needs GDAL 3.8; this computer has 3.7.1.
• portable_projects reload::wrong_geometry… looks for "file" in an operating-system message, which this Windows gives in Portuguese.

Neither touches this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Shadow notices are retained consistently across rendering passes, and pending shadow work is tracked without losing previously recorded state. Tilted exports wait while cast-shadow work is held and complete after it is released and the shadows are ready.
• Documentation
  • Clarified light-grid execution behavior: supported native systems use a separate thread, with inline processing if thread creation is refused; browsers run the work inline.

Walkthrough

The render completion path preserves and merges shadow notices across passes. A hidden public method reports waiting counts for current shadow jobs. The tilted-export test checks that export waits for cast-shadow work. The start_light documentation describes native and browser execution.

Changes: Shadow Work

Layer / File(s)

Summary

Shadow notice collection and export test crates/render/src/lib.rs, crates/map/src/raster.rs

complete preserves prior shadow notices and merges unique notices from its passes. Each retry clears notices from the previous pass. The tilted-export test holds cast-shadow work and checks that export remains blocked until the work is released. The hidden public method cast_shadow_waiters returns the sum of waiting counts for current shadow jobs, or 0 if it cannot lock the job list. The start_light documentation describes native threading with inline fallback and inline browser execution.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: cast-shadow notices in an export now come only from its last pass, and the tilted wait test no longer holds the worker. It is specific and matches the summary and objectives. It is long (127 characters), which is a minor issue, but it does not affect the verdict.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has a Summary (What changes), a Testing section (Tests), and a UI evidence section that states no visible UI change, as the template allows. The Related issue section is missing. The description references #1782 and #1823 in the body, but it does not put a Closes or Part of line in the template's Related issue section.

Test can pass on the bug, depending on timing (confidence: medium). The negative direction is decided by whether an export that does not wait finishes within 500 ms. A non-waiting export on a slow runner could take longer than that, so waited is true and the test passes even with the wait removed. That is the same kind of wrong-reason pass the PR's own description fixes for the old test.

A check that doesn't depend on timing: the held work cannot finish while the guard is held, so an export that doesn't wait always draws with its shadows still to come. The test could read that outcome directly after releasing the hold, for example by running the export inside shadows_said on the thread and asserting said.to_come is false (and that the shadows are drawn). A buggy export gives to_come == true regardless of speed. The sleep then only needs to be long enough for the fixed export to block, which it does not need to be exact about.

[elpidioassinaturas]

Fixed in 69e4139. The test no longer decides by time. RasterLayer::cast_shadow_waiters() (hidden, for tests) counts who waits for the layer's grids, a copy's too. The test keeps a copy and polls it while the work is held: an export that waits says so and can't end, while one that doesn't wait ends without the count moving. Checked by hand again: with the wait cut to the centre scale, the test fails.

Code review

Bugs: None found. I checked the new complete() / complete_passes() notice handling against the export call sites (share.rs map PNG, PDF, file export, placed raster, and shadows_said wrappers). Notices are cleared before each re-render, the last pass's notices survive, and the to_come flag is unchanged. The raster.rs change only moves a doc comment, which is correct.

Security: None found. The diff has no input handling or new external surface.

Performance: None found. The added dedupe loop is over a handful of strings.

Quality:

• In complete(), before.0 and before.1 are hard to read. Naming the two parts would help. Quality point, left for the release quality pass.
• The comment says the flag is "the last pass's to say", but the code ORs it with the earlier flag. The next sentence explains this, so it is consistent, just easy to misread. Quality point, left for the release quality pass.

Test coverage (1 inline comment posted, confidence medium):

• a_tilted_export_waits_for_the_cast_shadows_its_bands_draw decides its failure case by timing (!export.is_finished() after 500 ms). On a slow runner, an export that doesn't wait could take longer than that and the test would still pass. The inline comment suggests asserting to_come through shadows_said instead, which does not depend on speed.

AGENTS.md: The changes follow the rules. No unwrap/expect in non-test code. The new RwLock handling recovers from poison. No new user-visible strings or dependencies.

Already raised: 0 earlier concerns. prior-reviews.json has no threads.

`waited` to use a bounded readiness signal emitted by the far-band shadow-wait
path only after that wait is established, then verify the export remains
unfinished. Do not treat the 500 ms sleep or a signal sent before

The polling loop has no bound, so a regression can hang the test instead of failing it (confidence: medium). The loop exits only when the export has a waiter registered or has finished. If a future change makes the export block on some path that doesn't go through Waiting::on while the hold is held, neither condition ever becomes true. The test then spins forever and CI times out rather than reporting the failure.

A deadline doesn't weaken the check. waited is still read from the count after the loop, so a timeout with no waiter still fails the assertion.

Suggested change

	while probe.cast_shadow_waiters() == 0 && !export.is_finished() {
	std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(1));
	}
	let started = std::time::Instant::now();
	while probe.cast_shadow_waiters() == 0 && !export.is_finished() && started.elapsed() < std::time::Duration::from_secs(60) {
	std::thread::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(1));
	}

[elpidioassinaturas]

Fixed in 7c84165: the loop now fails after 30 s, saying the export neither waited for the grid nor ended.

Code review

Bugs: None found. I checked the complete / complete_passes change against its callers. saying_shadows and render_placed clear or save the notice buffer before they draw, and the notices in the export's result come only from the last pass. The restored prior notices only reach the thread-local buffer, so they don't leak into an export's output. The moved start_light doc comment is now on the right item.

Security: None found. The change is confined to render-state bookkeeping and tests.

Performance: None found. The notice merge is a linear scan over a handful of strings.

Quality (nits, could wait for the release quality pass):

• crates/render/src/lib.rs:6474: the before tuple with .0 / .1 is hard to read. Naming the two parts (before_come, before_notices) would make the restore at 6476–6483 clearer.
• crates/map/src/raster.rs:738 and :978: cast_shadow_waiters and hold_cast_shadows are public, non-cfg-gated API in production crates, so any downstream crate can call them. hold_cast_shadows can stall all cast-shadow work process-wide. Both are documented as test-only, so this is a design note rather than a defect.

Inline comment posted (medium confidence):

• crates/render/src/lib.rs:8701: the test's polling loop has no upper bound. A regression that blocks the export on an uncounted path would hang CI rather than fail the test. The suggested 60-second deadline cannot create a false pass, because waited is still read from the waiter count after the loop.

AGENTS.md: The changes follow the repository rules. No unwrap/panic is added to non-test code. The change touches no ribbon, i18n, asset, or dependency files.

Prior threads: Two review threads on the test's timing (lib.rs around line 8701, both outdated) are already answered by the author in 69e4139, which replaced the timing with the waiter count. I left both alone, because the current test doesn't depend on timing. I raised one new point about the same loop, which the prior threads did not cover.

Code review

Bugs: None found.

Security: None found.

Performance: None found. The extra take/merge in complete handles a handful of short strings per export, and the test's polling loop sleeps 1 ms per iteration with a 30 s bound.

Quality: None worth an inline comment.

AGENTS.md: None found. The new cast_shadow_waiters is test-only and uses let … else, so it adds no unwrap. The moved doc comment now sits on start_light, and LIGHT_HOLD has its own doc. The test-only std::time use is in #[cfg(test)] code, so it does not reach the wasm build.

What I checked:

• Notice handling in complete and complete_passes: Each re-render clears the notices before drawing, so an export reports only its last pass. Earlier frames' notices and flags are merged back, as the doc comment describes. render_placed takes its own notices before rendering and restores the earlier ones afterwards, so its gap list is not polluted. shadows_said clears on entry. None of the paths I traced drops an export's own notice.
• The cast_shadow_waiters counter: RasterLayer derives Clone and CastLight shares its Arc, so the test's probe copy counts waiters on the same jobs as the export. Waiting increments before result blocks and decrements on drop. I found no lock-order problem, since cast_shadow_waiters takes only the jobs lock.
• The test's logic: A non-waiting export finishes while the hold is held, so waited is false and the test fails. A waiting export keeps waiters > 0 until the hold is released, so there is no race. The 30 s deadline assert unwinds and drops hold, so a failure does not leave the test hung.
• Test-hold interaction: hold_cast_shadows is process-wide. Other tests in the same binary that start light work block until it is released, but the hold is released without depending on them, so there is no deadlock.

I did not build or run the tests; this review is from reading the diff and the surrounding source.

Earlier concerns left alone: 3. They are the unbounded polling loop, the timing-based pass in the test, and the readiness-signal suggestion. The loop now has a 30 s deadline, the test checks the waiter count rather than time, and the readiness point is resolved. One remaining point in the coderabbit thread, that an inline-refused thread leaves the test waiting, is still true in the sense that the test fails after 30 s rather than passing. The assert unwinds and releases the hold, so it does not hang. That is a false failure on a system that refuses threads, not a missed bug, so I did not repost it.
