Right-hand rule ring orientation enforcement: hole orientation target · case 05

Holes are emitted with the same winding as the exterior, so renderers fill them.

Case contract

Input: a polygon as a list of rings (exterior first, then holes), each a list of [x, y] integer positions. Every ring must be closed (first == last) with at least 4 positions, else return None; an empty polygon is None. Exterior rings are made counter-clockwise and holes clockwise by twice-signed-area sign; a reversed ring keeps its start vertex. Zero-area rings are left untouched. Return the rewritten rings.

Why this case matters

GeoJSON writers and vector-tile encoders must emit exterior and hole rings with opposite orientation; renderers use it to decide which rings cut holes.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
control #5	`[[[12, -61], [-33, 50], [-56, 51], [-57, 29], [-50, 26], [12, -61]], [[-10, -10], [-6, -10], [-6, -4], [-10, -4], [-10, -10]]]`	`[[[12, -61], [-33, 50], [-56, 51], [-57, 29], [-50, 26], [12, -61]], [[-10, -10], [-10, -4], [-6, -4], [-6, -10], [-10, -10]]]`	Failed
