Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the provided Typst snippet using positive and negative rectangle heights, then trace the shape layout or rendering entry point responsible for positioning its body. Done means the body of shapes such as rect and ellipse remains positioned inside the shape when its dimensions are negative, without regressing positive dimensions.
