Summary
Ea::Svg::EaEmitter::TextRenderer raises TypeError: can't convert nil into Float for a subset of real-world diagrams. When hit via ea svg / ea render / ea svg --all it aborts the whole command; when hit during SPA generation it aborts the entire ea spa build (this is now rescued per-diagram in the SPA projector as of #50, at the cost of silently degrading those diagrams to metadata-only views).
Reproduction
Source model: models/20260323_CityGML_3.0_Consolidated_Draft.qea (45 MB QEA, PLATEAU CityGML 3.0 Consolidated Draft) in https://github.com/metanorma/plateau-models — 3,702 diagrams, of which 297 (8%) fail with this error.

Stack
TypeError: can't convert nil into Float
lib/ea/svg/ea_emitter/text_renderer.rb:59:in 'Kernel#format'
The failing call is a format with a numeric field fed by diagram element/label data where a geometry or font metric comes through as nil (observed on ea 0.6.4, Ruby 3.4). Element-level data in the failing shards looks structurally normal apart from the nil that reaches the format.
Impact
ea spa (sharded + single_file): 297/3,702 CG3 diagrams ship without an SVG canvas (stderr warning per diagram, e.g. ea: skipping SVG render for diagram ... (…) : TypeError: can't convert nil into Float).ea svg / ea render / ea svg --all: hard failure on any affected diagram.
Suggested direction
Nil-guard the numeric inputs at the text_renderer.rb:59 format call (defaulting to EA-equivalent fallbacks), and/or emit a clearer per-diagnostic naming the offending element/attribute so upstream QEA data issues can be traced.
