+### STR-028 - Extract Stroke Draw Pad Face Orchestration
+
+Status: Ready
+Score: +1 renderer boundary and OpenGL parity
+Debt: `DEBT-0036`
+Scope: `src/canvas.cpp`, `src/legacy_canvas_stroke_execution_services.h`, `tests/paint_renderer/compositor_tests.cpp`
+
+Goal:
+
+Move the inline pad-stroke face execution block in `Canvas::stroke_draw()` into
+a retained helper so the pad branch keeps only concrete brush-shape, texture,
+and framebuffer wiring.
+
+Done Checks:
+
+- `Canvas::stroke_draw()` no longer contains the inline pad-face block around
+  `execute_legacy_canvas_stroke_pad_face_callbacks(...)`.
+- Regression coverage proves the extracted helper preserves pad-face order and
+  copy behavior.
+- `docs/modernization/debt.md` records the reduced pad callback surface.
