Proportion
Percentage sizing: a width/height given as "42%" resolves against the parent's definite inner size on that axis (the same definiteness gate as grow and fr). The column fills the canvas width, the row stretches to it, and the segments take their share of that definite width, so they tile it exactly (42 + 28 + 18 + 12 = 100). Against an indefinite parent a % falls back to content. % applies in row / column / stack, and to a grid child against its own cell; grid TRACKS use fr instead.
