feat: paint bucket fill implemented - #5
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe canvas now supports brush and paint-bucket tools. The toolbar controls active tool, color, and size state. The drawing engine handles tool-specific input and performs asynchronous flood filling through a Web Worker. ChangesDrawing tools
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to The paint-bucket feature can hang on some tolerance-based fills, overwrite newer edits after rapid clicks, and fail to synchronize fills to other clients. These concrete correctness and availability risks make the PR unsafe to merge until the fill algorithm, operation ordering, and collaboration event handling are corrected.

Add accessible names and selected-state semantics to toolbar controls.
The color input, size input, brush button, bucket button, and clear button have no accessible labels. Screen-reader users cannot identify these controls. Add visible labels or aria-label values. Add aria-pressed to the tool-selection buttons.

Synchronize bucket operations through the draw-event contract.
Bucket clicks only call fillColor locally. Unlike brush and clear actions, this path emits no draw-event. Other clients therefore receive no operation and keep stale canvas content.
Add a serializable bucket-fill event. Extend DrawEventPayload, the canvasStrokes receiver in lib/utils.ts, and the server relay so every client applies the same fill command.

Serialize bucket fills before applying worker results.
Each click starts a new worker from the current canvas snapshot. Rapid clicks can start multiple fills from the same pixels, and worker responses can arrive out of order. A late response can overwrite a newer fill.
Queue fills, or disable bucket input until the active worker completes. Apply each result before reading pixels for the next fill.

Track visited pixels during tolerance matching.
The exact-match check on Line 32 does not cover replacement colors within COLOR_TOLERANCE. For example, filling opaque #000000 with #111111 recolors each pixel to a value that matchStartColor still accepts. Adjacent scanlines then re-enqueue each other indefinitely. The worker does not return a result.
Add a visited-pixel mask, and reject visited pixels before comparing source color.

@shiv7shukla, the bucket tool uses flood fill.
Flood fill has these steps:
- Read the color of the clicked pixel. This is the start color.
- Find connected pixels that match the start color.
- Change each matching pixel to the selected fill color.
- Stop when no matching connected pixels remain.
Your worker does not require an exact color match. It allows a difference of up to COLOR_TOLERANCE (32) in each RGB channel. This is useful for anti-aliased edges.
The problem occurs when the fill color is close to the start color.
Example:
- Start color:
#000000→ RGB(0, 0, 0) - Fill color:
#111111→ RGB(17, 17, 17) - Tolerance:
32
The worker fills a black pixel and changes it to (17, 17, 17).
Later, the search reaches that same pixel again from an adjacent scanline. The worker compares (17, 17, 17) with the original start color (0, 0, 0).
Each channel differs by only 17. Since 17 <= 32, matchStartColor accepts the already-filled pixel as if it were an unfilled black pixel.
The worker can then repeatedly process the same connected pixels. The pixel stack does not become empty, so the worker can fail to return a result. The browser tab can become unresponsive for that fill operation.
The exact-match check on Line 32 does not prevent this case. #111111 is not exactly equal to #000000, but it is within the tolerance.
A visited mask fixes the problem:
- Mark a pixel as visited when the algorithm fills it.
- Before
matchStartColorcompares colors, reject the pixel if it is already visited.
This rule separates “pixel color is similar” from “pixel still needs processing.” The tolerance can remain enabled without revisiting pixels.
