Soft Boost Spacing Now Fits Automatically

Soft Boost's Min positions between setting is now treated as a maximum instead of a fixed requirement: when a smaller result set can't fit the full spacing, Layers tightens the gap automatically so every matched product still appears, instead of you having to guess a value that works for every collection. Matches that still exceed the spacing budget keep their boosted badge and their incoming rank instead of dropping to the bottom — look for the new Boosted · over spacing capacity label in the sort order preview. Spacing also now respects hard demotions from priority rules and out-of-stock rules in every mode, including diversity and product sequences, so a boosted match never lands inside or below a demoted block.
