 **Details:**
 - `fillFunc` delegate decouples ShrinkFiller from any specific engine — the caller provides how to fill.
 - `ShrinkAxis` determines which dimension to reduce. `TryOrientation` passes the axis matching its strip direction. `ShrinkFill` calls `Shrink` twice (width then height).
-- Loop logic: fill initial box, measure placed bounding box, reduce dimension by `spacing`, retry until count drops below initial count.
+- Loop logic: fill initial box, measure placed bounding box, reduce dimension by `spacing`, retry until count drops below initial count. Dimension is measured as `placedBox.Right - box.X` for Width or `placedBox.Top - box.Y` for Height.
 - Returns both the best parts and the final tight dimension (needed by `TryOrientation` to compute the remnant box).
+- **Two-axis independence:** When `ShrinkFill` calls `Shrink` twice, each axis shrinks against the **original** box dimensions, not the result of the prior axis. This preserves the current behavior where width and height are shrunk independently.
