There was no way to turn a presentation into an animated GIF. file.export now writes one: format
`gif` (or a .gif path), one frame per slide drawn by the slide renderer and shown for
secondsPerSlide, encoded with the `image` crate's GIF encoder (already a dependency, no new
crates) with a 256-colour palette per frame: exact when a slide has 256 colours or fewer,
NeuQuant otherwise. Slides are composited onto white.
Options: width (small 640, medium 960 (default), large 1280, extraLarge 1920, or 16-3840 px; the
height follows the slide's aspect ratio, no side over 3840), secondsPerSlide (0.1-600, default 5,
written in GIF hundredths), loop (forever by default, or once: no NETSCAPE2.0 block), slides (a
list of indices, in play order) and includeHidden (hidden slides are skipped by default).
Out-of-range or wrongly typed values, NaN and infinities are BadParams errors, never panics; at
most 500 frames and 200 million pixels in total, checked before anything is rendered.
- Engine: crates/engine/src/gif_export.rs (options, frame list, size, encoder);
cmd::file::gif_bytes, save_bytes("gif"), format_for_path(".gif").
- UI: the Export… dialog (Command palette; the app has no File menu yet) gets "Animated GIF (.gif)" with Size, Seconds per slide, From/To slide,
Loop forever and Include hidden slides; an invalid range or value keeps the dialog open with a
message. The web build downloads the bytes (image/gif).
- CLI: convert IN OUT.gif, run --export OUT.gif --export-params JSON; usage lists the format and
options.
- MCP: the export tool lists gif and width/secondsPerSlide/loop (slides and includeHidden now
apply to PDF and GIF).
- Docs: file-format parity GIF row, gaps (video export remains), parity checklist row M -> P
(P2 breadth 36% -> 37%, overall 79%), control protocol, MCP, README, ROADMAP progress log.
Transitions and build animations are not animated in the GIF (tracked with video export).

Notes from a .pptx were read and written with their formatting, but the notes pane and Notes
Page drew them as plain text (Slide::notes_text in a plain TextEdit), and any edit there saved
the text back through slide.notes as TextBody::from_text, dropping every bold run, level,
indent and bullet of the slide's notes.
- ui-egui: a notes editor (notes.rs) shared by the notes pane and Notes Page. It draws bold,
italic, underline, strikethrough and size from the runs, and each paragraph's margin, hanging
indent and bullet or number (Wingdings/Symbol bullets mapped as on slides); paragraphs are
laid out one by one so wrapped lines align with the text, not the bullet. Each edit is applied
to a formatted draft, so typed text takes the formatting where it lands (Enter in a bulleted
point starts another), and the draft is saved once the field loses focus or the slide changes.
- engine: slide.notes takes `body` (formatted notes, as slide.inspect's new `notesBody`), and
`text` now changes only what was retyped (model edit::replace_text); text sharing nothing
with the old notes is still plain.
- text: map_symbol_bullet is public for the notes editor.
PDF notes pages still print the notes as plain text.

PPTX import already read PowerPoint's media effects (presetClass
mediacall: Play, Pause, Stop) into the timeline, but the show never
carried them out: media started only with autoplay or a click on it.
The show now sets off a step's media effects as the step reaches them,
and also when a click cuts the step short.
A step also no longer lasts as long as the media it starts: the video
plays on by itself and the next click goes on at once. An After Previous
effect behind it still waits for the media to end.

The engine handled Tab (a tab character, or a list level at the start of
a paragraph), but egui also treated it as focus navigation: with no
widget focused it focused the first ribbon widget, and since the slide
only takes keys while nothing is focused, every key after Tab was lost.
When the slide has the keyboard, the keyboard handler now cancels that
focus move.
This also covers the "can't type after indenting" part of #93.

Two paired pictures that differed only in crop counted as changed
content, so the new one faded in over the old one on the moving box.
Now they stay one picture whose crop morphs: the whole image moves and
scales linearly between where it lies on either slide, and each frame's
crop is what the interpolated box shows of it (morph_crop).

The last matching pass paired any two shapes of one kind and preset
geometry, so a text box leaving the slide was paired with an unrelated
one arriving and flew across to it. That pass now only pairs shapes
without text: a text box needs its name or its text on the other slide
to morph, otherwise it fades out (or in) where it is, as in PowerPoint.

It ran file.new, so each click silently added another blank presentation
and looked like it did nothing. Home is now a UI command (app.home) that
shows the start screen over the open presentations, with a "Back to …"
button; Escape or Home again goes back. Creating or opening a presentation
from it leaves it. While it's open, keys don't reach the hidden
presentation (only app shortcuts and Escape). ui.inspect reports `home`.

* About: contributors compiled in from contributors.json (grab bag + table, sortable, name toggle)
Adds the craftrules standard (standards/contributors.md) to DeckCraft's About window:
tabs About · Contributors · Models. contributors/contributors.json is generated by
craftrules/scripts/contributors.py and baked into the binary by crates/ui-egui/build.rs as
static tables. Each contributor line: @username, opt-in display/real name, PRs, commits,
lines +/−/Δ, binary assets +/−, first/last commit. Sortable by every column; alphabetical
ignores case and the leading @. The control channel's ui.dialog.open now honours its
documented `fields` param (e.g. About {"tab": "contributors"}).

* Contributors: self-submitted names in contributors/people.toml; AGENTS.md credit-yourself section
build.rs reads contributors/people.toml next to the generated contributors.json and shows a name only
for entries the generator verified as written by that person (craftrules standards/contributors.md).
