 El espacio de una celda y el tamaño de la geometría son conceptos distintos. Cuando el layout asigna una celda rectangular a una geometría sin `size` explícito, la figura se centra y se escala uniformemente para caber en el menor volumen compatible; no se estira por separado en `x`, `y` y `z`. Por eso una esfera conserva `s[0] === s[1] === s[2]`, aunque su celda sea rectangular. Un `size` explícito sigue teniendo prioridad y permite al autor solicitar una proporción concreta.
 
-`row`, `grid`/`masonry` y `volume` producen posiciones deterministas. `variant: masonry` desplaza las filas alternas media celda sin exigir una sección `stagger`; `stagger.offset` queda disponible como override explícito. Para conservar legibilidad frontal se recomienda `plane: xy`, y para una composición lateral, `plane: yz`. Las constraints de tamaño y alineación, el empaquetado compacto, los grupos virtuales y la distribución `justify` forman parte del contrato estable de autoría. El algoritmo `graph` sigue reservado: por ahora emite `GRAPH_LAYOUT_FALLBACK` y usa `grid`. La proyección y el enrutado avanzado de relaciones entre contenedores permanecen como líneas de desarrollo posteriores.

+`auto` delega en el optimizador global la elección de algoritmo, dirección y
+plano para ese propietario de layout. El compilador prueba alternativas de
+`graph`, `row`, `grid` y `volume` mediante una búsqueda determinista y puntúa el modelo
+completo, no cada contenedor de forma aislada. La búsqueda resuelve primero los
+contenidos anidados y después sus propietarios, de modo que la composición global
+se decide con tamaños y afinidades estables. `graph` también aporta variantes
+espaciales internas con varios carriles de profundidad; `auto` puede elegirlas
+sin que el autor tenga que fijar un nuevo algoritmo. Las intersecciones físicas
+3D y los solapamientos son condiciones estrictas. Entre las soluciones válidas,
+la función perceptiva equilibra los atravesamientos y cruces proyectados con la
+legibilidad frontal, la alineación ortogonal, la longitud media de las relaciones,
+la compacidad volumétrica, la coherencia de orientación y las proporciones
+excesivamente alargadas. Los carriles de profundidad automáticos emplean un paso
+compacto; un layout `graph` explícito conserva el paso completo. Un `direction`, `plane`,
+`gap` o `padding` declarado junto a `auto` queda bloqueado y limita las
+alternativas. Si no se declara `gap`, se utiliza `3`.
+
+```yaml
+layout:
+  algorithm: auto
+  # direction: z  # opcional: bloquea el eje, pero no el algoritmo resuelto
+```
+
+La cámara inicial de `render.camera` es la vista principal de la puntuación. Se
+combina con una vista frontal canónica —que mide cuántos frentes quedan ocultos—
+y varias perspectivas oblicuas para evitar una solución que solo resulte legible
+desde un ángulo. Un host como
+Atlas Studio también puede pasar la vista interactiva con
+`compileAtlasModel(source, { autoLayoutCamera: camera })`. Cada propietario
+automático produce un diagnóstico informativo `AUTO_LAYOUT_RESOLVED` con la
+configuración elegida y las métricas globales, incluidas la oclusión frontal,
+las peores métricas proyectadas y las intersecciones espaciales. `analyzeAtlasLayout(model,
+{ camera })` permite puntuar un modelo ya compilado con la misma función
+objetivo.
+
+`graph` implementa un layout por capas sensible a las relaciones. Proyecta las
+relaciones de descendientes sobre los hijos inmediatos del contenedor, asigna
+capas según la dirección del flujo y utiliza barridos de baricentro para reducir
+cruces y longitud de conexiones. Los empates conservan el orden de autoría para
+que el resultado sea determinista. Las relaciones con `layout: false` no
+participan. Los ciclos se rompen de forma estable y producen el diagnóstico
+`GRAPH_CYCLE_STABILIZED`. Cuando varios contenedores usan `graph`, una pasada
+jerárquica adicional utiliza las relaciones que cruzan sus límites para alinear
+carriles entre contenedores. De este modo, dos elementos relacionados pueden
+quedar en la misma vertical u horizontal aunque no sean hermanos directos.
+
+El `gap` predeterminado de `graph` es `3`; puede reducirse de forma explícita
+para modelos compactos. Las relaciones siguen determinando las capas sobre
+`direction`. Elegir automáticamente entre composiciones alternativas en `x`,
+`y` o `z` pertenece a una fase de optimización asistida, no al compilador
+determinista.

+```yaml
+layout:
+  algorithm: graph
+  direction: y
+  plane: xy

+posterior e independiente de la colocación de nodos.

 ## Assisted layout
 
-layout.algorithm accepts row, grid, volume or graph. direction accepts x, y or z.
+layout.algorithm accepts auto, row, grid, volume or graph. direction accepts x,
+y or z. Auto is an explicit permission for the compiler to evaluate graph, row,
+grid, volume and internal spatial-graph alternatives against the whole model.
+Real 3D relation/item intersections and visible traversals have first-class
+priority. Front-face occlusion is measured from the canonical front view; the
+primary and canonical oblique views then contribute relation crossings,
+projected overlap, sibling orientation consistency, elongation, relation length
+and footprint to the deterministic score. An authored direction, plane,
+gap or padding beside auto is locked and narrows the search. Auto uses gap 3
+when none is authored. The selected concrete layout is reported through
+`AUTO_LAYOUT_RESOLVED`; it does not replace `algorithm: auto` in the authored
+source.
+
+The initial render.camera is the primary projection used for scoring and is
+combined with the canonical front view and canonical oblique views so the result
+does not overfit one angle. A host may instead supply the current interactive view as the
+`autoLayoutCamera` compile option. `analyzeAtlasLayout` exposes the same metrics
+for already compiled models.
+
+Graph uses a deterministic layered layout driven by relations whose `layout`
+field is not false. Relations between descendants are projected onto the
+immediate children of the container being laid out. Atlas orders each layer to
+reduce crossings and edge length while retaining authored order as the stable
+tie-breaker. When two or more graph-layout owners are linked by relations, a
+hierarchical sweep also projects those external relations into normalized lane
+hints. This aligns related children across container boundaries without adding
+authored constraints. When `auto` has not been limited to an authored plane, it
+may also distribute graph nodes across deterministic depth lanes. Directed cycles are broken deterministically and reported
+as `GRAPH_CYCLE_STABILIZED`. Graph uses a default gap of 3 world units; the
+other algorithms retain their existing defaults. Axis and plane selection stay
+declarative and are not changed implicitly by compilation.
 Grid layouts also accept variant uniform or masonry, optional columns and rows, and
 a plane of xz (the default), xy or yz. Masonry offsets alternate rows by half a cell
 unless `stagger.offset` explicitly overrides that distance. Use plane xy for layouts
