andeecollardandClaude Opus 5.5 1d72a6f895 Image Trace: the notch rule reads only its own piece
Where the pixel at a sharp corner falls to the other colour, the outline
cuts the corner in two one-pixel steps, and between two straight edges
of three cracks or more subpixel::outline makes those steps one point
(a notch). Whether the edges were long enough was measured on the whole
loop. An edge can run on past a junction in one region's loop while
the region across it, whose loop turns at that junction, sees a shorter
edge: one side made the notch and the other did not, so the shared
piece got different points on each side and the abutting curves left a
gap.

The notch now also requires the three cracks of each edge next to it to
lie in the piece (no junction among them), as the corner-pixel shift
correction above it already does.

Test (code-drawn): noisy_colour_images_leave_no_sample_uncovered traces
20 seeded 36 px images of soft overlapping blobs in four colours plus
pixel noise (Color, 5 colours, Noise 1 and 2, Paths 0/50/100) and needs
every one of five sample points per pixel to lie in some path: 93
uncovered before (seeds 9, 11, 13), 0 after.
