Houdini Behind the CSS
summary
Shows a working CSS Houdini solution that draws cut-off corner buttons using the paint worklet API and a separate JS worklet file; code uses geometry.width/height and the Canvas-like context to draw and fill shapes, exposes inputs via registerProperty so color and corner size come from CSS variables, supports a feature-detected fallback, runs in Chromium-based browsers today, is animatable and noticeably snappier than DOM hack alternatives.
