Worked on the google/skia repository to enhance text layout and rendering, focusing on visible soft hyphen support at line breaks. Developed features in C++ that detect soft hyphen clusters and introduce a dedicated hyphen run in the text line model, ensuring accurate line width calculations and correct behavior in both left-to-right and right-to-left contexts. Added opt-in control for soft hyphen rendering via ParagraphStyle, refined hit-testing so visible hyphens are not selectable, and updated layout width semantics. Refactored unit tests for reliability, shifting from brittle line-count checks to structural verification, and addressed cross-platform requirements through targeted test adjustments.

Apr 1, 2026April 2026 update for google/skia: Delivered Soft Hyphen Rendering Enhancements with opt-in visibility controlled via ParagraphStyle, enabling visible hyphen glyphs at soft-hyphen line breaks (U+00AD). Implemented layout width adjustments, ensured the hyphen is visible in rendering but not selectable during hit-testing, and updated widthWithoutEllipsis semantics. Included a test refactor for reliability and aligned with cross-platform requirements.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for google/skia focusing on typography and text layout improvements. Delivered a feature to render a visible hyphen at line breaks where a soft hyphen (U+00AD) occurs, improving the accuracy and readability of text layout. Implemented detection of soft-hyphen clusters, introduced a dedicated hyphen Run in the text line model, and added a createSoftHyphen() path that shapes a hyphen with the correct font/style. Ensured the hyphen participates in line width calculations and text run iteration for both LTR and RTL contexts. Ellipsis behavior remains prioritized when both ellipsis and soft-hyphen apply. This work aligns with Flutter issue #18443 and was merged with author attribution in the changeset. Commit: cc0c72cd527646648686f30bc671b3ab2ca442be.
