Fascinating world of ancient #glass ! A small-scale but colourful mosaic glass inlay depicting an Ibis. This inlay, originating from a workshop in Roman-era Egypt, was discovered in Tawern, near Trier, Germany.
The ibis was considered a sacred animal of Thoth, the Egyptian deity...🧵1/2

A small square mosaic glass inlay displayed against a dark background, showing an ibis, a long-legged bird with a curved beak walking on a thin red ground line. The inlay is light green with a slightly porous, pitted surface and slightly chipped edges.

📜 Tests describing the Inlay rendering model: tangled.org/danabra.mov/...

// ============================================================================
// inlay render — specification tests
// ============================================================================
//
// inlay is a UI component system on the AT Protocol.
//
// Elements reference components by NSID — <com.example.PostCard uri="...">
// is an element whose type is the NSID com.example.PostCard. An NSID is
// just a name; it says nothing about where the implementation lives.
//
// A pack (at.inlay.pack) maps NSIDs to concrete implementations. Each
// entry points an NSID at a component record URI (at://did/at.inlay.component/rkey),
// so the same NSID can resolve to different implementations depending on context.
//
// A component record (at.inlay.component) defines what happens when the
// element is rendered. It has one of three body kinds:
//
// - no body → a primitive; the host knows how to render this
// - bodyTemplate → a stored element tree with Binding placeholders
// - bodyExternal → an XRPC endpoint that returns an element tree
//
// Resolution algorithm:
//
// 1. Start with an element like <com.example.PostCard uri="at://...">.
// 2. Scan imported packs for a component that implements com.example.PostCard.
// 3. Resolve the component record and switch based on body kind:
// a. no body → done, it's a primitive.
// b. bodyTemplate → substitute Binding placeholders with the
// element's props (and optionally a fetched record when the
// component declares that it's a "view" for some records).
// c. bodyExternal → call the XRPC service, passing props.
// Children can be passed too, but they're opaque to the callee.
// 4. Recurse into the expanded tree until everything resolves to
// primitives. This can be done to completion or (better) streamingly.
