 **Drawing-scenario golden tests.** `Tests/TortoiseTestSupport/` (a non-product target) defines `DrawingScenario.all` — feature-grouped tortoise programs that together cover every `TortoiseCommand` case. Both renderers are verified against the same scenarios via pointfreeco/swift-snapshot-testing:
 
 - `TortoiseSVGTests/DrawingScenarioSVGTests` compares full SVG strings against goldens in `Tests/TortoiseSVGTests/__Snapshots__/`.
-- `TortoiseUITests/DrawingScenarioCanvasTests` (macOS-only, `#if os(macOS)`) renders `TortoiseCanvas` via `ImageRenderer` (`scale = 2`, instant mode forced by prepending `speed = 0`) and compares PNGs in `Tests/TortoiseUITests/__Snapshots__/` with `.canvasGolden` (byte-wise `precision: 0.995`, defined in `CanvasGoldenSnapshotting.swift`) to absorb OS-level antialiasing drift. **Do not add `perceptualPrecision`**: swift-snapshot-testing's perceptual path passes a bare `CGRect` to `CIAreaAverage`, which Core Image on macOS 27 rejects with an uncaught exception that kills the whole test process. It only triggers when bytes differ, so it passes on the recording macOS and crashes on the CI runner's. Tracked in #49 (still reproduces on Xcode 27.0 GA; re-check once the runner image ships a GA macOS 27).
+- `TortoiseUITests/DrawingScenarioCanvasTests` (macOS-only, `#if os(macOS)`) renders `TortoiseCanvas` via `ImageRenderer` (`scale = 2`, instant mode forced by prepending `speed = 0`) and compares PNGs in `Tests/TortoiseUITests/__Snapshots__/` with `.canvasGolden` (`precision: 0.995, perceptualPrecision: 0.98`, defined in `CanvasGoldenSnapshotting.swift`) to absorb OS-level antialiasing drift. `perceptualPrecision` requires **swift-snapshot-testing 1.19.6 or newer**, which is why `Package.swift` floors the dependency there rather than at the version SwiftPM would otherwise pick: through 1.19.5 the perceptual path passed a bare `CGRect` to `CIAreaAverage`, which Core Image on macOS 27 rejected with an uncaught exception that killed the whole test process (#49, fixed upstream in pointfreeco/swift-snapshot-testing#1120). That path is only reached when bytes differ, so a byte-identical run never exercises it — don't read a green local suite as proof the floor can be lowered.
 
 After intentionally changing scenario programs or renderer output, re-record **both** golden sets in the same commit and visually inspect them:
