What is a pixel-perfect report engine?

It's software that generates reports — PDFs, PNGs — looking identical across OSes, printers, no layout shifts or font glitches.

Why use Rust and Skia for reports?

Rust ensures safe, fast control; Skia delivers cross-platform graphics without driver dependencies, fixing WYSIWYG fails.

Does this replace tools like JasperReports?

Not fully — yet. But for precision needs, it outperforms on consistency, lighter footprint.
