Wouldn't it likely need to be called just before layout?
Probably yes, but it is not defined when that actually happens.
Yeah, the exact timing is not defined. That's intentional. The
responsibility of UA is just to make sure the distribution is updated
whenever UA has to return any result which depends on the distribution. UA
can choose any evaluation strategy as long as it's not observable from the
outside.
Looks the spec needs more good wording for this.
Any good ideas for wording?
All the issues Dimitri highlighted are symptoms of layout running before
distribution.

Would it be possible to leave the calling of the shadowRoot's

*when* distribution happens.
We would need to define when the engine calls it, otherwise web
pages start to rely on the behavior of whatever engine the developers of the
particular page mostly use.

I did a quick experiment around distribution timing:

Hope you find it helpful.
