What makepad-2.0-troubleshooting does

Each entry follows the same shape: the symptom you see, the cause underneath, and the corrected code. First up is a container that resolves to zero height and hides everything inside it, plus text that stays invisible on a coloured background because of how draw calls are batched.

Splash specifics get their own write-ups. Named children use :=, static ones use : — mix them up and an override is dropped without a warning. Hex colours containing the letter e need the #x prefix, or the parser reads the digits as an exponent. border_radius wants a single f32, not an Inset. There is a catch with naming, too: a child deeper in the tree stays out of reach if any wrapper above it has no name, so Item{label.text: …} does nothing until every level on the path is labelled.

The skill points at two reference docs, AGENTS.md and splash.md. The height: Fit advice has an exception: under a parent with a fixed height, Fill is the right call.
