An owned corpus opens, saves and reopens SmartArt and OLE kept as XML, audio and video bookmarks and trims, a section with a hidden slide, slide-number and date fields, ink, .glb models and animation repeat, bounce end and triggers. Relationship-bearing SmartArt and OLE, playback options and rewind stay with their open PRs.
View ▸ Notes Master edits the notes master on a notes-size page (creating
PowerPoint's default placeholders if the deck has none); its tab toggles
header, date, slide image, body, footer and page number, sets the
background and closes the view. The PPTX writer now writes an edited
notes master as it is, even in a deck without notes. Stacked on #572.
View ▸ Handout Master opens the handout master (creating one with header,
date, footer and page-number placeholders if the deck has none) on a page
at the notes size, with a dashed preview of where 1-9 slides go. Its
contextual tab toggles the placeholders, sets the background and closes
the view. Stacked on #533, which reads and writes the handout master.
Animations › Preview and Animation Pane › Play All play the current
slide on the canvas instead of opening the slide show. Escape or a
click stops playback. Transitions › Preview still opens the show.

An owned corpus of those element kinds survives open, save and reopen.
Paragraph default run properties, including a link, and action sounds
were dropped on save, so import and export now keep them.
The Bullets and Numbering menus only offered a fixed list of styles.
"Bullets and Numbering…" at the foot of both menus opens PowerPoint's
dialog: Bulleted and Numbered tabs with their styles, a custom bullet
character, Start at, Size (% of text, 25-400) and Color (automatic,
text or an accent), and None.
format.numbering now takes color and size like format.bullets, and
both clamp the size to PowerPoint's 25-400 %.

The Picture Format > Remove Background button was a disabled
placeholder. picture.removeBackground now flood-fills from every edge
pixel through similar colours: each step must be close to the pixel
before it (so gradients and soft shadows follow) and to the edge colour
it started from (so it can't leak into the subject). That region turns
transparent with a one-pixel soft edge, and the picture points at a new
PNG; undo brings the original back. Tolerance 0-100 (default 20); the
ribbon offers normal, looser and tighter. Pictures whose edges are all
subject are left alone, and pictures over 16 megapixels are refused.

The model, renderer and PPTX already handled duotone, black-and-white,
grayscale and a transparent colour, but the Color menu offered only
saturation and grayscale. picture.recolor applies PowerPoint's Recolor
presets (No Recolor, Grayscale, Sepia, Washout, Black and White 25/50/75%,
and dark and light variations of Text 2 and the six accents) replacing
the previous recolour; picture.recolors lists them. picture.transparentColor
makes a colour transparent or clears it. The Color menu shows a Recolor
gallery of preview ramps and a Set Transparent Color colour picker.

Picture Styles was a menu of six names, each running two or three
separate commands that left the previous style's effects behind. New
picture.style applies one of PowerPoint's 24 picture styles (frames,
shadows, soft edges, reflections, bevels, rounded, snipped and oval
shapes, a rotated frame) as one step that replaces the whole previous
look; picture.styles lists them and "none" clears the style. Picture
Format shows them as a thumbnail gallery, and a Picture Border split
button sets outline colour, weight and dashes.

The model, renderer and PPTX already carried cell borders, diagonals,
margins and vertical alignment, but nothing set them. New commands:
table.borders (all, outside, inside, inside horizontal/vertical, each
side, diagonals or none, with pen colour, width and dash; the facing
side of a neighbouring cell follows, as in PowerPoint), table.cellMargins
(Normal, None, Narrow, Wide or per side) and table.cellAlign. They act on
the given cells, the selected range, the cell with the caret, or the
whole table. Table Design gains a Borders menu with pen weight, style and
colour; Table Layout's Top/Center/Bottom now align cell text (they set
the text body's anchor, which cells override) and gain Cell Margins.

Draw > Ink to Shape recognises each pen stroke on the slide's ink layer
as a line, rectangle, oval or isosceles triangle (apex up or down) and
replaces it with that preset shape, outlined in the stroke's colour and
width with no fill. Strokes it can't recognise, and highlighter strokes,
stay ink. The ink shape is removed once it has no strokes left. The
whole conversion is one undo step.
The recogniser (engine/src/inkshape.rs) is pure geometry: ends meeting,
area covered within the bounding box, and spread from the fitted
ellipse. Ribbon big buttons now carry an accessibility label.

These Office 2016 charts were drawn as plain columns. Now:
- waterfall: bars float from the running total, total points
(cx:subtotals, now read into Chart.subtotals) stand on the axis and
reset it, increases/decreases/totals take accents 1-3 with a matching
legend, and connectors join each bar to the next;
- funnel: centred bars as wide as their value, category labels on the
left and values inside;
- treemap: squarified tiles in proportion to their value, labelled;
- sunburst: the innermost level as a ring with an open centre.

Decks from SharePoint and Microsoft 365 carry customXml items (document
library metadata and content types), docMetadata/LabelInfo.xml (the
Microsoft Purview sensitivity label) and docProps/custom.xml. All were
dropped on save, so a labelled corporate deck came back unlabelled. They
are now kept verbatim with their content types, their own relationships
(itemProps) and the root or presentation relationship linking them. Kept
parts never replace a part the writer makes.

Waterfall, funnel, treemap, sunburst, histogram, Pareto and box &
whisker charts live in a chartEx part behind an mc:AlternateContent
choice requiring cx1. DeckCraft took the fallback, usually a text box
saying the chart isn't available, so these charts were lost on open
and on save.
The cx1 choice is now taken for chartEx frames and the part is read
into the chart model: categories (innermost level), values, number
format, series name, title, legend and data labels. Unchanged charts
are written back as their chartEx part in a cx1 choice with a plain
chart of the same data as fallback, as PowerPoint writes them; an
edited one is saved as a plain chart. Region maps are not read.

An owned corpus of those deck kinds survives open, save and reopen. The
check found the handout master — printed header, footer, date and slide
number — was dropped on save, so import and export now keep that part.
p:custDataLst points at ppt/tags/tagN.xml parts that add-ins such as
think-cell, Mekko Graphics and Office Timeline use to recognise their
decks, slides and shapes. They were dropped on open, so a saved deck lost
its add-in identity. The model now carries name/value tags on the
presentation, slides and shapes; the reader resolves every tags part and
the writer emits one tags part per holder, in the schema's element order.

New picture.artisticEffect applies one of 7 effects (blur, pencil
grayscale, line drawing, film grain, cutout, glow edges, photocopy) to a
picture's pixels, as PowerPoint does: the processed PNG becomes the
picture and the original is kept on PictureFill::artistic, so another
effect starts from the original and `none` (or Reset Picture) restores
it. Change Picture drops the effect.
PPTX: written and read as PowerPoint does, the blip being the processed
picture with the original and the effect name in
a:extLst/a14:imgProps/a14:imgLayer, so a deck from PowerPoint keeps its
effect, original and all, when saved again.
Picture Format gets an Artistic Effects menu.

Follow-up to the transition sound picker. The Sound box now lists
[Stop Previous Sound] and six built-in sounds (Chime, Click, Camera,
Whoosh, Drum Roll, Laser) that are synthesised as small WAVs when
chosen, so no sound files ship with the app; the same built-in sound is
embedded once however many slides use it. Loop Until Next Sound repeats
a sound in the show until another slide's sound or Stop Previous Sound.
PPTX reads and writes p:stSnd loop="1" and p:endSnd, keeps the sound's
file name in p:snd/@name, and setting a slide's transition to None no
longer drops its sound.

shape.pointType makes a vertex smooth (handles in line and equal),
straight (in line) or corner (independent), turning its segments into
curves so it has handles. shape.moveHandle drags a control handle; the
other one follows as the point's type says (given, or read from the
handles). shape.points also reports each vertex's type.
Canvas: clicking a vertex shows its handles, which drag (one undo step
per drag) and follow the type chosen for it. Right-click a vertex for
Smooth / Straight / Corner Point and Delete Point, or anywhere for Exit
Edit Points; a shape's context menu gets Edit Points. The selection box
is hidden while points are edited.

New cmd::points with shape.editPoints (enter/leave; a preset becomes a
freeform in shape-local points), shape.points (vertices in slide points),
shape.movePoint, shape.addPoint (splits a line, quadratic or cubic
segment) and shape.deletePoint. After each change the box is fitted
around the outline and kept in place on the slide, rotation and flips
included. Closing edges are made explicit so they take points too.
On the canvas the edited shape shows its vertices as handles: drag one
(one undo step per drag), Cmd/Ctrl-click a vertex to delete it or the
outline to add one; Escape, Enter or a click elsewhere leaves Edit
Points. Shape Format ▸ Edit Shape gets an Edit Points item.
Not yet: smooth/straight/corner point types and Bézier control handles.

font.replace {from, to} renames a font family everywhere it is named
explicitly: runs (latin, east Asian, complex script and symbol faces), end
marks, bullet fonts, list styles of shapes, layouts and masters, the master
text styles, the deck default style, notes, tables and the theme fonts, so
placeholders that follow the theme change too. Names compare
case-insensitively, theme references (+mn-lt) are left alone, a replace that
finds nothing adds no undo step, and missing fonts are recomputed.
font.used lists the families the slides draw in, for the dialog's Replace
list.
Home gets a Replace Fonts… button opening the dialog: Replace (fonts in the
deck), With (type or pick from installed fonts), and it stays open with a
confirmation like PowerPoint's. Ribbon small buttons now expose their label
to accessibility, which the UI test uses to click it.

ui_soak_tests.rs drives the app through the egui test harness with seeded
random clicks, drags, keys (plain, Ctrl, Shift), typing and scrolling over the
sample deck. Every ten actions it checks that every document validates, the
selection is in range, undo, journal, thumbnail and texture caches stay
bounded, and no command or render panic was caught; at the end, that input
really reached the editor and the mean frame stays under 250 ms. Two seeds x
150 actions run in CI; DECKCRAFT_UI_SOAK_STEPS/SEED run it long.
Panics swallowed by the guards were invisible to tests: Session now counts
them (panics_caught) and deckcraft_render::panics_caught() counts render
panics drawn as blank. Textures::thumb_count exposes the thumbnail cache size.

Transition sounds were read from and written to .pptx but could not be
set and never played. Transitions › Timing gets a Sound box ([No Sound]
or Other Sound…), backed by a new transition.sound command that embeds
an audio file on the selected slides (or removes it with none). In the
slide show the sound plays as its slide comes in and, as in PowerPoint,
keeps playing into the next slide unless that slide has a sound of its
own. Built-in sounds, Stop Previous Sound and Loop Until Next Sound are
still missing; the parity docs say so.

ignored. The Effects page of the Format Shape pane exposes them as sliders

soak_tests.rs drives every non-file command with plausible and hostile
parameters over a ~100-slide deck, checking after each step that the
document validates, the selection is in range, the undo stack is bounded,
undo then redo restores the exact document, and every 100 steps that the
deck saves and reopens as .deckcraft and .pptx. Four seeds x 400 steps run
in CI (under a second); DECKCRAFT_SOAK_STEPS/SEED run it long.
The long soak found that a chart a few points wide panicked in f64::clamp
(label gutter min above max), and the render guard then blanked the whole
slide. chart.rs now uses a non-panicking clamp_soft for the gutters and the
zero line; a render test draws tiny charts next to a shape without the
guard.

The Format Shape pane's Line page had only colour, width and dash. It now
has PowerPoint's compound type, cap type, join type, begin/end arrow type
and begin/end arrow size drop-downs, and the Size page has Lock aspect
ratio for the width and height fields. shape.line gains compound,
headSize and tailSize, and changing an arrow's kind keeps its size.

The pane's bars now come from deckcraft_anim::Timeline, the same schedule the
slide show plays, so With/After Previous, delays, repeats and auto-reverse line
up on a shared seconds ruler. Dragging a bar sets the delay and dragging its
right edge sets the duration (snapped to 0.05 s), each through
animation.timing, so one undoable command per drag. Bar geometry and drag maths
live in animtimeline.rs as pure, unit-tested functions; kittest drives the
drags. Parity and gaps docs updated.

The writer emitted the legacy comment part only: replies were flattened
into sibling comments, the resolved flag was dropped. Modern PowerPoint
decks carry a second, threaded part (p188) as well - and DeckCraft read
both, importing every comment twice.
Export now writes the modern threaded part (p188:cmLst, with the slide's
commentRel anchor ext and the modern authors part) next to the flattened
legacy part, the same pair of parts PowerPoint itself writes: older
readers keep the legacy view, PowerPoint 2021+ and DeckCraft read
threads, replies and resolved state. The reader prefers the modern part
when both are present and scales modern positions as EMU instead of
legacy 1/8 pt, so real PowerPoint decks stop double-importing their
comments and keep their marker positions.
Comment ids are deterministic GUIDs from the existing tables::guid, so
exports stay reproducible without a new dependency.
Known limitation for a follow-up: comments anchor with
p188:unknownAnchor (schema-valid) rather than a slide moniker, which
needs part identity the model does not have yet.
Tests: threads plus resolved state round-trip on top-level comments and
replies, both parts and the anchor-rel wiring asserted in the raw
package, part numbering with comment-free slides skipped, legacy-only
and modern-only packages import each with their own position units, and
XML-special characters survive the trip.
Progress log entry for the wild-case rendering fixes; "Bevel and 3-D
rotation" moves from missing to partial (approximate bevels, cameras and
face lighting; no extrusion, rigs or 3-D pane); gap estimate narrowed.

Every transition and Effect Option was built in PowerPoint (COM), exported as
video and compared frame by frame with DeckCraft at the same progress
(mean abs diff over 150 variants 35.7 -> 15.0, 0-255).
- anim: transition_frame(kind, option, t, aspect) with measured curves
(smoothstep fades, ease-in-out moves, Cover/Uncover/Pan curves), directions
and option meanings, soft edges as per-corner opacity, 3-D effects as
perspective-projected cards, Dynamic Content moving slide contents over
cross-fading backgrounds (Source::OldBack/NewBack/OldContent/NewContent);
layer_mesh subdivides perspective quads so textures stay straight.
- New options: Page Curl Single, Glitter Hexagons, Shred In/Out, Zoom and
Rotate; PowerPoint-style Effect Options labels.
- render: composite_transition (CPU twin of the show), render_slide_part,
render_transition; deckcraft-cli render-transition FILE --slide N --t T.
- show: per-vertex opacity meshes, slide parts rendered once per transition.
- pptx: PowerPoint's elements and defaults (p:strips diagonal wipes, p14:warp
and p:newsflash for Zoom, p:zoom for Shape In/Out, glitter pattern, shred
rectangle/dir, prstTrans invX per preset, pageCurlSingle, defaults for
randomBar/doors/window/pan/zoom); PowerPoint reopens DeckCraft's files with
the same effects.
- Tests: measured curves, probes of which slide shows where at t, option
coverage, per-frame triangle budget, PowerPoint XML and defaults round trip.

A right click on an unselected shape opened the slide's context menu
(Layout, Reset Slide...) because only the primary button reached the
pointer tool; the shape had to be left-clicked first. The right-button
press now goes through Session::pointer as PointerKind::ContextClick
(`contextclick` on the control channel and MCP) and selects like
PowerPoint before the menu opens: an unselected shape is selected alone
(a text box or placeholder is not put into text editing, nothing is
dragged), a selected shape keeps the selection, multiple selection
included, and empty slide clears it. In the box whose text is being
edited, the caret and text selection stay, and the context menu offers
text items (Paragraph, Bullets, Numbering, Link) next to Cut, Copy and
Paste, which act on the selected text.
