Description

Currently we bleed the seams of the generated ribbon mesh to hide AA seams. However, for a writer that has proper mesh support (e.g. PDF) there is no need for that

Research direction

Trace the generated ribbon mesh code and the backend writer path where seam bleeding is applied. Determine how the backend can control this behavior, preserving bleeding for backends that need it while allowing mesh-capable writers such as PDF to disable it. Done means the behavior is backend-selectable without changing unrelated rendering.
