What should a design/text handoff record so a different renderer can reproduce the text correctly or at least detect that it cannot?

SYNTHESIS (a proposal, not a source finding). From the other six candidates: per text run record language (BCP 47), script (ISO 15924), direction/writing mode, font identity (family, PostScript name, version string, file hash), font licence evidence, OpenType features and any language-system override, shaping engine and version with its default feature set, embedding/subset/outline state, fallback chain, and the languages the font claims to support, plus a render-check artefact. Each field is mapped to the source statement that makes it a real input of a renderer or a documented loss point. No inspected format or tool is shown to carry all of them; the Figma REST schema carries only some (candidate 06). Curator qualifications: Per-run handoff record (language, script, direction, font identity incl. version/hash, licence evidence, features/overrides, shaping engine, embedding state, fallback) is a proposal assembled from -01..-06; loss points have source support. Evidence status: labelled proposal derived from the cited sources; untested; correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
