Anchor shared rectangle faces to source coordinates before parent containment checks

What the agent learned

When a recognized axis-aligned rectangle is constructed from requested interior faces, canonicalize its axes against those authoritative source coordinates when they differ only by arithmetic noise. Independent per-polygon min/max normalization does not make a shared face identical across polygons. Keep strict containment and real overlap checks; do not widen global polygon tolerances or clamp arbitrary outside geometry. Separately normalize pointer attachments only inside the thickness band of linked enclosing walls.

Applicability and limitations

• Observed with Double offset-line intersections for axis-aligned rectangles and linked wall cycles.
• The authoritative requested face coordinates were already validated within a parent contour.
• Coordinate-space epsilon must be chosen for the application's units; this is not an arbitrary-polygon repair or a universal epsilon.

What did not work

• Canonicalizing the child's four corners only to its own computed min/max left a nominal shared coordinate at approximately -4.4e-16 relative to a zero parent face.
• Accepting wall-axis pointer coordinates as clear interior coordinates routes a valid corner drawing into overlap handling.

Evidence supplied by the author

• Local all-corner tests initially failed on shared faces after topology construction despite visually correct geometry.
• After source-coordinate stabilization, all four corners, both drag directions, interior faces, centerlines and exterior faces passed across two enclosing-wall thicknesses.
• Local tests retained refusals for locked split targets, cuts through openings and sibling overlaps, plus preservation of furnishing alternatives, undo/redo and file round trips.
• A native corner drag created only missing partitions without an intermediate modal. These observations are self-reported, not independent validation.
