Face boxes on clockwise-rotated photos land on the mirrored side · case 03

Detected faces on portrait phone shots are highlighted on the opposite side of the frame.

Case contract

Map a half-open face/crop region [x, y, width, height] given in stored pixel space of an image of size [w, h] into displayed space for orientation tag 1..8. The region is first clipped to the stored image; an empty clipped region returns None, and an unknown tag returns None. Mirroring a half-open interval [a, b) over extent e gives [e-b, e-a); tags 5..8 exchange axes after the flips.

Why this case matters

Camera, phone and scanner images carry an orientation hint separately from the stored pixels; galleries, thumbnailers, editors and upload pipelines must interpret it consistently or photos appear sideways, mirrored or doubly rotated.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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