May 2025 monthly summary for nikitabobko/ladybird. Highlights include delivery of LibWeb features for robust clipping and overflow handling, extensive test hygiene improvements, and targeted layout/rendering fixes that collectively raise rendering fidelity and test reliability. Key features delivered: - LibWeb: Deduplicate clipping code (commit 85883ee5ced5455cd5e462f5c7f3e7aeaeb1fb38) — reduces redundancy and streamlines clipping logic. - LibWeb: Enable different overflow along the x and y axis (commit ed7374783d80bd18d11ea48154f765991c080da7) — enables per-axis overflow behavior for more accurate rendering. - LibWeb: Add paint containment clipping (commit 4989c5c79334c11e6b87c3b70043c00ced51a215) — introduces paint containment semantics. - LibWeb: Improve parsing for the CSS contain property (commit 7c36a82129ac1ff302ea19c5cee59d23f8e4c214) — tighter containment parsing. - Meta: Add doctypes to all table layout tests (commit 3fd13485abef5f950b4c489993e2f539df3fadfb) and to all SVG layout tests (commit d048ee315520dafecba0063d61953493a0f20ab0); ensure HTML doctype in a targeted screenshot test (commit 86f2d291cadef70dd605b2b856843736b83e8ede). - Meta: Add doctypes to a few more layout tests (commit 4c54a28c45be4e8185158d40a37e083e038a6465) and to more layout tests (commits 4c54a28c45be4e8185158d40a37e083e038a6465; 5fad6b193841dbb6c2e8ece8aaf285cc36a9b26b). - Meta: Add doctypes to all grid layout tests (commit c105f9954720817c92806e0d0e351f56bf785024) and to some flex layout tests (commit 1fa3b16c8c9ce815e0543e38294f4d23783dfe05). - LibWeb: Layout and rendering adjustments (hit-testing, containment, text rendering, and masks) — fixes to hit-testing for opacity: 0, move containment checks to Layout::Node, ensure text renders in 0-size inline boxes, and handle empty masks correctly (commits dbece926376adbff23d2879ca3f0cc4db9f892e3; a0be82b2cb07c30740935ee0c375ce2386d37114; 91159df0dd87d8a8bd32fd945c4b2c95ae2f1e33; f52df06a2a77f0fb38ab87d5385bb52562f512b3).
