+
+Audited areas:
+
+- clip
+- border
+- text
+- damage
+- scrollbar
+
+Bug-fix summary and rationale:
+
+- `packages/core/src/renderer/renderToDrawlist/widgets/containers.ts`: fixed `overflow: "visible"` behavior for `row`/`column`/`grid`/`box` containers so they inherit the parent clip instead of always creating a local content clip. This prevents visible overflow from being incorrectly treated as hidden overflow.
+
+New deterministic test suites inventory:
+
+- `packages/core/src/renderer/__tests__/renderer.clip.test.ts` (18 tests)
+- `packages/core/src/renderer/__tests__/renderer.border.test.ts` (45 tests)
+- `packages/core/src/renderer/__tests__/renderer.text.test.ts` (28 tests)
+- `packages/core/src/renderer/__tests__/renderer.damage.test.ts` (17 tests)
+- `packages/core/src/renderer/__tests__/renderer.scrollbar.test.ts` (24 tests)
+
+Total new deterministic tests in these suites: 132.
