Before: what you give it

The example input, as typed in. You give it structured JSON.

boxes: [{"label":"Logo","x":24,"y":24,"w":120,"h":32},{"label":"Nav","x":600,"y":26,"w":300,"h":28},{"label":"Headline","x":24,"y":120,"w":520,"h":96},{"label":"Intro","x":26,"y":240,"w":400,"h":72},{"label":"Card A","x":24,"y":360,"w":280,"h":200},{"label":"Card B","x":328,"y":360,"w":280,"h":200},{"label":"Card C","x":644,"y":360,"w":280,"h":200},{"label":"Stray note","x":760,"y":700,"w":90,"h":20}]
tolerance: 6

After: what comes back

The first lines of a real run on that input. Nothing here is edited by hand.

Checked 8 boxes with a near-miss window of 6px. 9 findings: 5 near-miss, 3 gap, 1 orphan.
[high] near-miss: top edges of "Logo" (y = 24) and "Nav" (y = 26) differ by 2px. Equal would read as aligned; this reads as a mistake.
[high] near-miss: bottom edges of "Logo" (y = 56) and "Nav" (y = 54) differ by 2px. Equal would read as aligned; this reads as a mistake.
[high] near-miss: left edges of "Logo" (x = 24) and "Intro" (x = 26) differ by 2px. Equal would read as aligned; this reads as a mistake.
[high] near-miss: left edges of "Headline" (x = 24) and "Intro" (x = 26) differ by 2px. Equal would read as aligned; this reads as a mistake.
[high] near-miss: left edges of "Intro" (x = 26) and "Card A" (x = 24) differ by 2px. Equal would read as aligned; this reads as a mistake.
[medium] gap: Gaps between side-by-side siblings ("Card A" to "Card B", "Card B" to "Card C") are 24px, 36px. Spread 12px; most common gap 24px. If the difference is deliberate, group the items that belong together.

What you get

Near-misses with both values and the difference, inconsistent gap lists, and boxes aligned to nothing

What it cannot do

Reads declared numbers only and renders nothing; takes 2 to 400 boxes, and elements without x, y, w and h are skipped.

The form starts with the same example input, so you can run it first and then swap in your own.
