.indd and .indt documents open through File › Open, drop, the web inbox,
file.open, file.openBytes, file.openIdml and the CLI. The engine converts
them to IDML in memory with storytold/indd-utils (pinned by rev, MIT OR
Apache-2.0, no dependencies, builds for wasm) and imports the result
through the existing IDML path. The converter's warnings come first in the
open result's `warnings`, before the IDML importer's and the font
warnings. A file the converter can't read is an open error, shown in the
Can't Open the File alert.
Routing: a path or name ending in .indd/.indt, or bytes starting with the
INDD signature (the web inbox passes the name without its extension).
opens_as_document and the desktop and web Open dialogs list indd/indt.
Tests use synthetic bytes only: signature-bearing junk, a zero-filled
.indd and a short .indt all fail as open errors with no document added;
a dropped unreadable .indd raises the open alert.

### 2. InDesign documents (.indd) can't be opened (FF)
|
||||
- **Missing:** INDD (and INDT, INDB, INDL) reading. Everything InDesign users receive is INDD.
|
||||
- **Evidence:** #21. Two clean-room converters are proposed: PR #98 and `indd-utils` (#114),
|
||||
which reports 96.9% of InDesign's IDML values reproduced on ~650 INDD/IDML pairs, 0 failures on
|
||||
~4,300 files, and output that DesignCraft's IDML importer already reads.

- **Impact:** without it, every job starts with "ask the client for an IDML".

- **Estimate:** 20–60 h to integrate indd-utils (INDD → IDML → existing importer), warnings UI,
|
||||
corpus test; **owner decision** on provenance and where the crate lives.
|
||||
### 2. INDD opening isn't measured on real files (FF)
|
||||
- **Missing:** a real-file corpus test of opening `.indd` and `.indt`. They open through
|
||||
[storytold/indd-utils](https://github.com/storytold/indd-utils), which converts them to IDML in
|
||||
memory for the IDML importer, but DesignCraft's own tests use synthetic bytes only. INDB and
|
||||
INDL are still not read.
|
||||
- **Evidence:** #21, #114 (PR #98 proposed another converter). indd-utils reports 96.9% of
|
||||
InDesign's IDML values reproduced on ~650 INDD/IDML pairs and 0 failures on ~4,300 files; what
|
||||
DesignCraft draws from those files is unmeasured, and it inherits the IDML importer's open bugs
|
||||
(gap 3).
|
||||
- **Impact:** a client's `.indd` opens, but nobody knows how close it comes to the original.
|

- **Estimate:** 10–30 h (corpus pinned in a sibling of `storytold/photocraft-corpus`, metric,
