Module webview 

WebView — a leaf widget that displays the live output of a crate::webview::WebViewEngine and forwards pointer, scroll and keyboard input into it.

The widget is deliberately chrome-free: address bar, navigation buttons, progress and permission prompts belong to the host app or the OS chrome. It paints whatever frame the engine last produced (scaled to its layout rect), shows a neutral placeholder until the first frame arrives, and translates toolkit-space input into engine commands (physical pixels relative to the view’s origin). Navigation state (URL, title, progress) does not flow through it: the host app drains crate::webview::WebViewEvents during sync and owns that state in its CRDT.

Device scale

The page is rendered at the device scale of the surface it is shown on, so one frame pixel is one physical pixel. That scale has one source at a time: a live host’s surface, told on mount and when the scale changes (crate::widget::NativeViewLifecycle), or without a live host the scale the view lands on screen with, read through every cache being recorded around it (crate::scroll_copy::on_screen) — a container that caches its children draws them at the identity and scales the cache, so the draw’s own transform says 1 on any display.

Input never changes it: an event’s scale is the scale of the surface that delivered it, and the engine re-renders the whole page at every new scale, briefly showing the old frame stretched or the new one at the old size.

WebViewProps

A page, live: a browser’s content, a help document, a web app embedded in a view. Its address bar, navigation and permission prompts belong to its host: this is the page alone, and the app reports what the page navigated to as its events.
