+The `render` command rasterizes or vectorizes a formula to an image
+(`svg`, `png`, `pdf`, or `ps`) using the optional
+https://github.com/plurimath/lasem-ruby[`lasem`] gem (a native extension
+wrapping the Lasem C library). Image rendering is OPTIONAL: Plurimath works
+fully without it, and it is unavailable under Opal/plurimath-js. See
+<<image-rendering,Rendering to images>> for installing the backend.

+plurimath render [options]
+----
+
+Options mirror `convert` for the input side (`-i`, `-f`, `-p`, `-e`), plus:
+
+`-o`, `--output <FILE>`::
+Output file path. The image format is taken from its extension
+(`.svg`/`.png`/`.pdf`/`.ps`); an extension outside that set is an error. When
+omitted, the rendered bytes are written to standard output.
+
+`-r`, `--format <FORMAT>`::
+Image format (`svg`, `png`, `pdf`, `ps`). Used when `--output` has no usable
+extension or when writing to standard output (a file's extension takes
+precedence). Defaults to `svg`.
+
+`-d`, `--display-style`::
+DisplayStyle, boolean. Defaults to the parsed formula's display style.
+
+`-s`, `--split-on-linebreak`::
+Boolean. Note that lasem renders a single MathML document, so this mainly
+affects the serialized MathML rather than producing multiple images.
+
+`-e`, `--xml-engine <ENGINE>`::
+XML engine used to parse the input (`ox` or `oga`). Defaults to `ox`.
+
+`--ppi`, `--zoom`, `--width`, `--height`, `--offset-x`, `--offset-y`::
+Numeric geometry options passed through to lasem; omit them to use lasem's
+defaults.

+=== Rendering to images
+
+`Formula#render` produces a binary image (`:svg`, `:png`, `:pdf`, or `:ps`) by
+serializing the formula to MathML and handing it to the optional
+https://github.com/plurimath/lasem-ruby[`lasem`] gem, a native extension
+wrapping the Lasem C library. `lasem` is an OPTIONAL, soft dependency: it is not
+a runtime dependency of Plurimath, is unavailable under Opal/plurimath-js, and
+must be added explicitly.
+
+Until `lasem` is published to RubyGems, pin it via Git in your `Gemfile`:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+gem "lasem", github: "plurimath/lasem-ruby", branch: "main", submodules: true
+----
+
+Then verify the native toolchain (cairo, pango, and the Lasem C library):
+
+[source,sh]
+----
+bundle exec lasem-doctor
+----
+
+Render with `Formula#render`:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+formula = Plurimath::Math.parse("sum_(i=1)^n i", "asciimath")
+
+svg = formula.render(format: :svg)
+png = formula.render(format: :png, ppi: 144, zoom: 2)
+File.binwrite("sum.png", png)
+----
+
+Or render directly from source in one step with `Plurimath::Math.render`, which
+parses and then renders (parse options such as `:locale` are routed to parsing):
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+png = Plurimath::Math.render("sum_(i=1)^n i", "asciimath", format: :png, ppi: 144)
+File.binwrite("sum.png", png)
+
+# Check availability before rendering to avoid a raise:
+Plurimath::Math.render_available? # => true / false (always false under Opal)
+----
+
+Supported `format:` values are `:svg`, `:png`, `:pdf`, `:ps`. Remaining keyword
+options are split between the MathML serialization (`:display_style`,
+`:intent`, `:formatter`, `:unitsml`, `:unary_function_spacing`,
+`:split_on_linebreak`) and the lasem renderer (`:ppi`, `:zoom`, `:width`,
+`:height`, `:offset_x`, `:offset_y`); omit the geometry options to use lasem's
+defaults. When `:display_style` is omitted the formula's own display style is
+used.
+
+If `lasem` or its native extension is unavailable, the format is unsupported, or
+rendering fails, a `Plurimath::Errors` rendering error is raised
+(`RenderingUnavailable`, `UnsupportedRenderFormat`, or `RenderingFailed` — all
+subclasses of `Plurimath::Error`); the unavailable message points you to
+`lasem-doctor`. A malformed formula surfaces as `Plurimath::Math::ParseError`
+from the MathML step, not as a rendering error.

+
+The semantic view shares numeric evaluation's precedence parser, but does not
+evaluate numbers or require variable bindings. It distinguishes explicit and
+implicit multiplication, retains explicit round groups, and preserves the
+parser's left nesting for chained subtraction, powers, and relations. Fractions,
+radicals, scripts, function arguments, and integral limits remain attached to
+their owning nodes. Fractions expose numerator and denominator roles; functions
+expose their name and argument; powers expose base and script. A square root
+exposes the implicit-degree placeholder `⬚` and its radicand. Unbounded and
+partly bounded integrals, sums and products also retain their body, and a powered
+function such as `sin^2 x` binds `x` as the function argument inside the power.

+run once with Ox. Existing native specs still run with Ox and Oga. The native

+
+Portable parser and renderer expectations also live in the pinned repository's
+`fixtures/` directory. Native specs select shared case IDs instead of embedding
+expected trees, constructor graphs or output strings. The authored datasets
+retain each assertion's source revision and location. They are extracted from
+the original expectations, independently of production parser or renderer output.
+
+The adapters preserve the original entry points, argument types, configuration,
+operation order and comparisons. Typed constructor recipes distinguish symbols,
+string keys, positional arguments and keyword arguments. Memo references preserve
+sharing within one example, while each example receives fresh mutable values.
+Raw grammar fixtures preserve their preprocessing and tree projection steps.
+External UnicodeMath fixtures retain the original inputs, expected raw trees,
+models and refusal patterns.
+
+These examples continue to run through the native Ox/Oga hooks. Node/Opal uses
+the same YAML files from the checkout. Ruby API, configuration, identity and
+extension-hook tests remain native. Missing cases, unsupported schemas and
+unknown recipe operations fail rather than silently skipping coverage.

+
+`Plurimath::Catalog.entries` returns plain Ruby hashes suitable for YAML or JSON
+export. The catalog describes the Ruby implementation. TypeScript conformance
+is separate work and does not gate the Ruby catalog.
+
+== Entry identity and compatibility
+
+Each entry has a safe lowercase `name` and a `kind`: `function` or `symbol`.
+Use the pair `[kind, name]` as its identity. A function and symbol may share a
+name, such as `bar`; write them to separate directories.
+The catalog rejects duplicate identities instead of allowing exports to overwrite
+one another.
+
+`arity` is the reference-page category (`unary`, `binary`, or `ternary`) for a
+function, and `nil` for a symbol. It describes the reference classification,
+not the number of arguments accepted by a Ruby constructor.
+
+The legacy `type` field remains unchanged: it holds the function's reference
+category, or `symbol`. Function entries retain `description` and `reference`;
+symbol entries omit them. Existing `asciimath`, `latexmath`, `mathml`, and `omml`
+fields retain the serializers' exact output, including empty strings and
+placeholders. The additional metadata does not repair or rewrite serializer output.

+* `available`: the serializer returns nonempty output and no limitation is
+  declared. This is not proof of semantic parity or round-trip correctness.
+* `limited`: a known loss or limitation is described in `notes`.
+* `unavailable`: output is empty or the declaration identifies an unsupported
+  representation, including nonempty placeholders. `notes` explains why.
+
+Consumers should read this metadata before presenting an example as supported.
+Unexpected serializer exceptions still propagate; the catalog does not convert
+programming failures into a successful availability record.
+
+A class can declare its own limitations without affecting sibling classes:
+
+[source,ruby]
+----
+CATALOG_FORMAT_LIMITATIONS = {
+  mathml: { status: :limited, notes: ["The current serializer omits a modifier."] },
+}.freeze
+----
+
+Declarations use canonical keys `asciimath`, `latexmath`, `mathml`, and `omml`.
+Keys and statuses accept strings or symbols. A declaration must use `limited`
+or `unavailable` and include a nonempty array of explanatory strings.
+Empty serializer output always becomes `unavailable`, with a reason.
+
+== Validation and extension classes
+
+The shared entry builder validates required fields, safe slugs, type/kind/arity
+agreement, format records, and limitation declarations. Invalid data raises
+`Plurimath::Catalog::InvalidEntryError`, a subclass of `ArgumentError`.
+`Plurimath::Catalog::Validation.validate_all!(entries)` also checks identity
+uniqueness when validating an exported array.
+
+Function classes need their own description, reference, and deferred example
+to be documentable. Anonymous classes are excluded because they have no stable
+Ruby name. Examples and format notes are built afresh; modifying returned notes
+does not modify the class's declarations.

+# AsciiMath uncertainty: parse tree contract (plurimath#493, B4)
+
+The amath grammar turns `ustd(...)`, `uexp(...)` and `ucov(...)` into the tree
+below. `Plurimath::Asciimath::Transform` (rule `uncertainty:`) turns it into
+`Math::Function::Uncertainty`. Design: `docs/uncertainty.adoc`; cases:
+`spec/plurimath/fixtures/uncertainty/contract.yml`; spec that checks this
+tree against amath, the transform and `Math.parse`, and round-trips every case
+through `to_asciimath`: `spec/plurimath/asciimath/uncertainty_spec.rb`.
+
+## Shape
+
+The node sits where any other operand sits, for example as the whole formula:
+
+```ruby
+{ expr: { sequence: { uncertainty: { uncertainty_class: "uexp", value: "10.0",
+                                     magnitude: "0.3", coverage_factor: "2" } } } }
+```
+
+Every leaf under `uncertainty:` is a `Parslet::Slice` holding the text exactly
+as written (no `{number: ...}` wrapper, no sign or whitespace). Keys absent from
+the input are left out, never given as nil.
+
+| Input | Keys under `uncertainty:` |
+|---|---|
+| `ustd(y, u)` | `uncertainty_class: "ustd"`, `value`, `magnitude` |
+| `ustd(y(d))` | `uncertainty_class: "ustd"`, `value`, `concise_digits` |
+| `uexp(y, U, k[, p])` | `uncertainty_class: "uexp"`, `value`, `magnitude`, `coverage_factor`[, `coverage_probability`] |
+| `ucov(y, lo, hi, p[, kind])` | `uncertainty_class: "ucov"`, `value`, `lower`, `upper`, `coverage_probability`[, `interval_kind`] |
+| `..., "unitsml(g)")` (last argument, any form) | adds `unit: "g"` (the text inside `unitsml(...)`) |
+
+- `value` may carry a leading `-`; every other number is unsigned. The decimal
+  marker is always a full stop, whatever the locale.
+- `concise_digits` is the digit run inside the inner brackets: `ustd(1.230(4))`
+  gives `value: "1.230"`, `concise_digits: "4"`. The transform turns it into
+  `magnitude: 0.004`, `notation: :concise`.
+- `unit` must not use the existing `{unitsml: ...}` key: that rule turns the unit
+  into a rendered `Formula`, but the node keeps a `Math::Function::Unitsml`.
+
+## Shared decimal exponents
+
+The following call forms add an optional `shared_exponent` slice containing
+signed exponent digits without `e`. No space is allowed before `e`:
+
+```asciimath
+ustd((3.85, 0.23)e4)
+ustd(680(41)e-3)
+uexp((3.85, 0.23)e+4, 2, 0.95)
+ucov((1.024, 0.983, 1.088)e-3, 0.95, shortest)
+```
+
+The transform shifts the decimal point using strings, never floating-point
+arithmetic. It scales value and magnitude, or value and both interval
+endpoints; coverage factors and probabilities remain unchanged. Concise
+magnitude is derived before applying the scale. The first two examples yield
+`38500` with magnitude `2300`, and `0.680` with magnitude `0.041`.
+Trailing decimal zeros remain significant stored text. Writers emit the
+normalized existing uncertainty form, which can be read back into the same
+model.
+
+Existing calls omit this key and retain their behavior. Bare inline uncertainty
+is part of the separate expression-language work in #513. To bound allocation,
+the reader rejects a shared exponent that would expand a number beyond
+1,000,000 decimal characters with `Errors::InvalidUncertainty`; no partial
+number or rounded approximation is returned.
+
+The shipped amath corpus `corpora/uncertainty-shared-exponent.yml` contains the
+input trees and exact normalized model expectations checked by the reader specs.
+
+## Interval kind spelling
+
+`interval_kind` is a bare word: `shortest` or `symmetric`.
+`probabilistically-symmetric` cannot be used, because AsciiMath reads the `-` as
+minus. `symmetric` means the probabilistically symmetric coverage interval of
+JCGM 101 §5.3.4 and maps to `:probabilistically_symmetric`. The output side
+(`Uncertainty#to_asciimath`, which today writes `probabilistically-symmetric`)
+must write `symmetric` so that output reads back.
+
+## Errors
+
+- Wrong argument count (for example `uexp(10.0, 0.3)`, no `k`): the call is
+  not an uncertainty, and amath falls back to the letter reading it had before
+  the uncertainty words (plurimath/amath#9). `uexp(10.0, 0.3)` reads as the
+  symbol `u` followed by `exp(10.0, 0.3)`, as the contract cell
+  `invalid.asciimath_missing_k` records; no error is raised. Should a tree with
+  too few fields reach the transform anyway, the node raises
+  `Errors::InvalidUncertainty`, which `Math.parse` reports as
+  `Math::ParseError`.
+- An unknown `uncertainty_class`, an unexpected key, a non-text leaf, both
+  `magnitude` and `concise_digits`, non-digit `concise_digits` or an unknown
+  `interval_kind` raise `Errors::InvalidUncertainty`.
+- `+-`, `pm`, `±` and `1.230(4)` outside these three words never produce this
+  tree.
