Optional label + description beneath (T-318). Display-only (D-78). Depends on the core engine (T-318).
+
+PROMOTED TO ENGINE (D-103, 2026-06-28): this is now the drawing-card''s rendering FOUNDATION, not one template among many. Build the clide-owned CustomPaint SVG renderer over a BOUNDED subset (rect/line/polyline/polygon/circle/ellipse/path, text incl. the Phosphor font, image, g + transform, basic fill/stroke/opacity/rx). T-318 (envelope + dispatch + Flutter overlay) and every template lower onto this; d2/graphviz/mermaid output renders for free. No longer blocked by T-318 (dependency inverted). Open: pin the subset to what our own templates + d2/graphviz emit. Schema: docs/design/drawing-card-schema.md.
+
+SVG SUBSET FINALIZED (2026-06-28, grounded in a real d2 sample + our own templates):
+
+STRUCTURE: <svg> (viewBox/width/height, incl. nested svg), <g> (transform, opacity, class), <defs>, <marker> (+ marker-start/mid/end; orient=auto, refX/refY, viewBox) — edge arrowheads.
+SHAPES: rect (rx/ry), circle, ellipse, line, polyline, polygon, path (full data: M L H V C S Q T A Z + relatives).
+TEXT: text + tspan (x/y/dx/dy, font-family incl. Phosphor, font-size/weight, text-anchor, dominant-baseline).
+RASTER: image (href/xlink:href, x/y/w/h, preserveAspectRatio) — our image/compare templates.
+STYLING: presentation attrs (fill, fill-opacity, stroke, stroke-width, stroke-linecap/linejoin, stroke-dasharray, opacity, color), transform (translate/scale/rotate/matrix), class= resolved via the normalizer below.
+DEFERRED v1: <mask> (d2 masks connections for clean edge/node joins) — ignore and rely on node-over-edge paint order; add basic mask only if d2 output looks wrong.
+OUT: foreignObject, filters, <animate>/SMIL, scripting, <use>/<symbol>, gradients, patterns, clipPath. (So mermaid, which leans on foreignObject, is not a launch target.)
+
+CSS DECISION — inline-normalize (option A): d2 emits a <style> block of FLAT single-class selectors (.fill-B1, .color-N1, .shape, .connection, .text-bold → presentation props). A preprocessing normalizer parses <style> into class->props, merges each element''s class props into inline presentation attributes (inline wins), and drops <style>; the painter then only ever sees inline attrs — a pure, testable presentation-attribute renderer. Chosen over a render-time CSS resolver to keep the painter free of any CSS concept.

+///
+/// Parses SVG path data into a flat list of [SvgPathSeg]s in ABSOLUTE
+/// coordinates, lowering the SVG shorthands to a small command set the painter
+/// can replay straight onto a `dart:ui` Path:
+///   - relative (lower-case) commands → absolute
+///   - `H`/`V` → [SvgPathOp.lineTo]
+///   - `S` → [SvgPathOp.cubicTo] (first control reflected from the previous cubic)
+///   - `T` → [SvgPathOp.quadTo]  (control reflected from the previous quadratic)
+///   - arcs (`A`) kept as [SvgPathOp.arcTo] for the painter to realise
+///
+/// Tolerant by construction: malformed tail input stops the parse and returns
+/// what was understood so far — a broken `d` never throws, so a bad diagram
+/// can't crash the conversation. No dependency, per prefer-zero-deps.
