pptx/interop-shape-roster--ellipse

A curated roster of six primitive MSO_SHAPE preset geometries (rect, ellipse, triangle, diamond, right-triangle, right-arrow). python-pptx authors each fixture; pptxjs renders it. The manifest asserts both that the written XML carries the canonical <a:prstGeom prst=...> token AND that pptxjs produces a DOM node for the shape. Catches cases where python-pptx writes valid DrawingML but pptxjs renders nothing or drops the preset geometry.

Library verdicts: python-pptx: — pptxjs: —

"""Generate a ``fixtures/pptx/interop-shape-roster--<id>.pptx`` fixture.

Parameterised generator for the ``pptx/interop-shape-roster`` manifest
(Wave 5-C cross-library interop). Each expanded case produces a single
slide containing one auto-shape from a curated list of primitive MSO_SHAPE
presets (rect, ellipse, triangle, diamond, line, right-arrow). The
manifest asserts both that python-pptx writes the canonical
``<a:prstGeom prst=...>`` token AND that pptxjs emits a recognisable DOM
node for that shape.

Spec notes

DrawingML <a:prstGeom prst="..."/> selects one of the ~180 preset auto-shape geometries enumerated in ST_ShapeType. This interop manifest differs from `pptx/shape-preset-geometry` in two ways: (1) it covers a *curated primitive roster* instead of the full ~180-member enum — just the shapes that should be unambiguous to render; (2) it carries a `render_assertions` block that asserts the output pptxjs DOM, specifically targeting cross-library drift: python-pptx writes valid XML but pptxjs must render it as a visible shape node.
