The numerals scaled off the cell but the date block sat at a fixed drop
below them, so a tall cell left a dead band under the date and a short
one would have collided. Now the date pins to the bottom edge, the
numerals take everything above it, and both type sizes derive from the
width, so the slack of a tall cell falls in the middle of the card where
it belongs.
Type scales off width for the same reason the weather card does: height
is what changes when a row is added to the grid, and a widget that
shrinks its text whenever its cell gets shorter reads as broken next to
its neighbours.
Checked at 1x3, 1x6, 2x2, 2x4 and 3x3 on an 8x6 grid before restarting
conky. The 1x6 case stays width-bound and leaves room below the
numerals, which is correct for a cell far taller than it is wide.
The README now states the convention, since it applies to every widget
added later: derive offsets from the rect, scale off width, decide where
the slack goes, and drop an element that would otherwise overlap.

The date rendered as "16 /SEP /2026", each slash jammed against the
next glyph. measure() returns the ink width, which ignores leading and
trailing spaces because a space carries no ink, and clock.lua was using
it to advance a cursor. Measured: " / " covers 6px of ink but advances
14px, so every separator lost 8px.
Splits the two uses that were conflated in one function. measure() is
for centring and right-aligning, where ink width is what you want;
advance() returns x_advance and is for laying out runs of text left to
right. The clock's date now uses advance() and reads "16 / SEP / 2026"
with even gaps, verified by screenshot.
Worth the split rather than changing measure() in place: text_right is
a correct caller of the ink width, so one function cannot serve both
and silently returning the advance would have broken alignment
instead.

Hour stacked over minute in Noto Sans Black, weekday in caps, date
slashed, following idea2.png. Colours are the palette's.
Numeral size derives from the cell rather than a constant, so the same
widget fills its cell on either monitor. The slashes take the dimmer
label colour so the numerals read first.
