v1.1.0 shaping improvements:
  • Arabic harakat (تشكيل — fatha, kasra, damma, sukun, shadda…) now anchor on the preceding base glyph using font-provided GPOS MarkBasePos data, with fallback to (0, 0) when anchors are missing. Closes the visual half of #25.
  • UAX #9 isolates (LRI / RLI / FSI / PDI, U+2066–U+2069) handled via three-tier dispatcher with full recursion. Nested and unmatched isolates supported.
  • Shared GSUB / GPOS drivers — Bengali / Tamil / Devanagari / Arabic shapers route through a single ligature lookup and a single mark-base anchor helper.

Visual baselines refreshed under test-output/extreme/. Remaining work — UAX #9 embeddings (LRE / RLE / LRO / RLO / PDF) and COLRv1 colour emoji — is scheduled for v1.2.0.
