- •Sub-3-second generation with full CSS Grid and Flexbox support.
Weaknesses

Fullbleed – Rust HTML/CSS-to-PDF with Deterministic Output+Python CLI
It skips headless Chromium entirely and implements an HTML/CSS-to-PDF pipeline in Rust, exposing a Python wheel and CLI that releases the GIL and uses Rayon for parallel batch renders. The deterministic bits — fixed-point base unit, --repro-record/--repro-check, SHA256 outputs and vendored assets — are a clear, practical play for audited VDP/transactional workflows; what's still unknown is CSS spec coverage and whether subtle print-layout quirks will require hand-holding.
