MLR118: SVGMobject cannot faithfully convert project SVG content¶
qual reports MLR118 when a literal SVGMobject path resolves to
one project-local SVG for every active profile and that SVG contains
<text>, <image>, <filter>, <mask>, <clipPath>, or a local
href="#id" with no matching id.
- Default severity:
warning - Minimum confidence:
high - Implementation phase:
4 - Fix: none (suggests converting the asset to ordinary paths)
SVGMobject's conversion produces VMobjects only for its supported vector shape subset. Embedded text/images and filter, mask, or clipping definitions are not reproduced faithfully; an unresolved local use reference loses its geometry.
The scanner is static and fail-closed. It never imports Manim or executes the analyzed project. Every active profile must resolve the literal to the same canonical file below the project root. Malformed XML, DOCTYPE/internal subsets, encoded id/href values, external references, project-external symlinks, dynamic paths, or profile-dependent files stay silent.
