Tried this out in a notebook (all nine placement scenarios + resize/pan/zoom). Initial placement is sensible everywhere; two things worth addressing:
1. Live re-scoring has no hysteresis, so the legend hops around under uniformly-covered plots. Details in the inline comment on xyLegendBestLocation.
2. Density-tier scatter legend swatch is gray, not the trace color. (Pre-existing on main, but it's very visible in this PR's target scenarios — large scatter + loc="best" — and it never recovers on drill-zoom, since the tier is fixed at payload build.) The trace's constant color is on the wire as trace.density.color (the density surface and drilled points render it), but the legend builders only read trace.color.color || trace.style.color, both absent on the density path:
js/src/50_chartview.ts~L2780:const c = (t.color && t.color.color) || (t.style && t.style.color);→ add|| (t.density && t.density.color).python/xy/_svg.py::legend_items(shared by SVG + raster): same fallback ontotrace["density"]["color"].
Repro: xy.scatter_chart(xy.scatter(x, y, name="ring", color="#38bdf8", size=2), xy.legend(loc="best")) with 500k points → gray swatch, blue points. Happy to send it as a separate PR if you'd rather keep this one to placement.
The dot color is grayed. This is not this pr issue but still maybe we want to fix this here.

Releases were cut by hand: write a dated `## [X.Y.Z]` heading, push a `v*` tag,
and release.yml built the wheel matrix and published. The tag was the trigger, so
a failed publish left a tag to delete and re-cut, the changelog was a checklist
item nothing enforced, and every contributor edited the same file.
Adopt reflex-release (0.1.0a2) with towncrier so CHANGELOG.md is the trigger
instead: a version heading with no matching git tag is what publishes that
version, and the tag is pushed only after PyPI accepts the artifacts. A failed
release is retried by pushing a fix on top of the changelog bump — nothing to
delete, nothing to re-cut.
news fragment -> Dispatch release -> CHANGELOG.md bump -> merge
|
GitHub release <- tag <- upload <- approval <- build matrix
Four workflows come from the tool and are regenerated verbatim by
`reflex-release sync`; the generated changelog.yml runs `sync --check` on every
pull request, so drift is a red PR rather than a surprise at release time. This
repository owns two workflows, both wired in through [tool.reflex-release]:
- build_release_artifacts.yml (`custom-build`) — the release matrix. `uv build`
on one runner cannot produce eleven cross-compiled platform wheels, a
runtime-verified PyEmscripten wheel and an sdist, so publish.yml calls this
instead of its own build job. The matrix, every per-artifact gate and the
wheel-size budget are unchanged; each job now tags its own checkout, since no
tag exists at build time. `expect-artifacts` names all thirteen files a release
must contain, so a matrix leg that silently uploads nothing stops the release
instead of shipping a version some users cannot install.
- deploy-docs-stg.yml (`post-release-workflow`) — dispatched per published tag,
after the upload, the tag and the GitHub release exist. Its own `push: tags`
trigger cannot see a tag pushed with GITHUB_TOKEN; this closes that gap. The
dispatch contract is its `tag`/`package`/`version` inputs.
Everything else the pipeline owns: the whole matrix runs before the approval
gate, `collect` verifies every artifact declares the released version and
checksums the set the reviewer approves, and the single credentialed job sits
behind the `pypi` environment's required reviewers.
Also:
- publish.yml has no `push` trigger, so a hand-cut tag can no longer publish
without a changelog entry, the version gate, or an approval.
- The tag-shape gate accepts `.postN` (the `release-post` action) and runs in the
build workflow's `version-gate` job, ahead of the cross-compile legs.
- Existing changelog headings are converted to the towncrier format the release
parser reads back, and `## [Unreleased]` becomes the towncrier marker. The
pending entry for #496 moves to a news fragment.
- verify_ci_workflow.py drops its release-workflow validation, and the action-pin
policy applies to the workflows this repository authors: the release pipeline's
invariants are tested where the tool lives, and re-asserting them here went
stale the moment the tool changed.
Repository settings this needs: required reviewers on the `pypi` environment, the
PyPI trusted publisher repointed from release.yml to publish.yml, PR creation
enabled for Actions, and the skip-changelog and changelog-version-edit labels.
