bloom-sheet: visitors are drawn with the plant's pen, not pasted in
An SVG used to arrive as a PDF on top of the page, in its own colours and line quality. It now parses into marks: stroked shapes go through ribbon and neonfill as weighted lines, a fill under a stroke becomes a petal's wash, and bare fills become solid neon. Colours snap to the palette and near-black paints the ground, except in an all-black drawing, which would vanish. All of it must touch, a closed outline counting as covering its inside. Text, images and gradients are refused before the two minute render. rsvg-convert and graphicx are gone; python3-svgelements and python3-shapely replace them.
