File > Place of a text file with `link: true`, or with the new
Preferences > File Handling > Create Links When Placing Text Files,
records on the story the file's path, size and hash, and the style map
and style-conflict option used. The Links panel and links.list show
these files OK / Modified / Missing like graphics. links.update imports
a modified file again into the same frames and thread with the saved
style map (Auto Rename's choices are kept, so no new _wrd_ styles). As
in InDesign, edits made in the layout are replaced: the Links panel and
Window > Links > Update Link ask first (Update / Cancel) when a linked
story was edited in the layout, while the links.update command updates
and returns a warning, as InDesign scripting does. links.relink,
links.goTo and links.embed (Unlink) take {story}. Saved in the native
format; IDML writes the text unlinked. Tracked changes import as
accepted, as before. Tests cover place-with-link, Modified/Missing
status, update with the saved style map keeping frames, the
local-edits warning, the confirmation dialog (confirm, cancel, no
dialog for unedited stories), relink, unlink, the preference, and a
native save/load round trip. Closes#597.

Corners were applied only where two straight segments meet, and every
other segment was redrawn as a straight line: a Pathfinder quarter
circle with rounded corners rendered as a triangle with one round
corner. Corner points are now where the path turns; the sides next to a
corner are trimmed along their length, curves included, and stay
curves. Smooth points are left alone; rectangles are unchanged.

With several objects selected, InDesign's Properties panel shows
Pathfinder: Add, Subtract, Intersect, Exclude Overlap and Minus Back.
DesignCraft had them only in Object › Pathfinder and the Pathfinder
panel. The section sits after Align, with code-drawn icons.
Section titles and icon buttons in Properties now have accessible names
(the title; the button's tooltip), so screen readers can tell them apart.

Rotate Spread, Proof Setup, Proof Colors, Flattener Preview, Show Tag
Markers, Separations Preview and Show/Hide Tagged Frames were at the end
of the Type menu. They are in View now, which follows InDesign's order:
Overprint Preview and proofing, zoom, Rotate Spread, Screen Mode,
Display Performance, rulers, Extras (frame edges, text threads), Grids &
Guides and Structure (tagged frames, tag markers). Show Hidden
Characters stays in Type, as in InDesign; W still toggles Preview.

The canvas drew an underline (and a strikethrough) as one rectangle per
glyph; where two anti-aliased edges met at a fractional pixel they left
a lighter seam between the letters. Contiguous bars of the same colour
and position are merged into one, as the PDF export already does.

InDesign's Properties › Transform shows, under X/Y/W/H, the rotation
and shear angles beside the X and Y scale, then buttons to rotate a
quarter turn either way and to flip horizontally or vertically.
DesignCraft's showed only X/Y/W/H; the rest was in the Control bar
and Object › Transform. The fields set totals through transform.set
around the reference point; the buttons run transform.rotate and
transform.flip. Rotate and flip icons are original drawings.

In InDesign a double-click on the Tools panel's Fill or Stroke box opens
the Color Picker; DesignCraft opened the Swatches panel. It now opens
the Color Picker for that box, with the selection's colour (the selected
text's when text is selected). The Stroke box also reports its name to
screen readers.

Edit > Step and Repeat opened the generic command form (Count 1..1000, Dx, Dy, Rows, Columns, Ids). It now has InDesign's dialog: Repeat (Count, or Rows and Columns when Create as a grid is on), Offset (Vertical, Horizontal, in the document's ruler units or any unit typed) and Preview, which shows the copies on the page while the dialog is open. Cancel, Esc and ui.dialog.cancel take the preview away; OK makes the copies once, as one undo step. A value that isn't a number keeps the dialog open and says so.

InDesign's Hyphenation Zone ("the white space allowed at the end of a
line of unjustified text before hyphenation begins") applies only with the
Single-line Composer. The Paragraph Composer, the default, weighs every
break of the paragraph instead. DesignCraft applied the default 3p0 zone
to both, so ragged paragraphs under the Paragraph Composer refused
hyphens InDesign makes. In LYH Studio's poster tutorial the placeholder
text breaks "aper-natem" and "mosticsia-tur"; ours ran a line longer.
The breaker now gets the zone only for unjustified Single-line Composer
paragraphs.

note.edit was the one story-text command still reading `text` without
text_param. The progress-log line held real CR and CRLF characters where
it meant to show the escapes; it reads `\r` and `\r\n` now.

frame.create and text.insert turned \r and \r\n into paragraph returns,
but story.replaceRange, story.setText, note.new, footnote and endnote
text, type on a path and table cells kept the CR in the text, where it
drew as a missing glyph and joined the paragraphs. They all use
text_param now.

The Effects panel had the blend mode, opacity and Drop Shadow only. Like InDesign's it now names the level the settings apply to with its blend mode and opacity (Group: Color Dodge 100%, Object: Normal 100%), and has Isolate Blending and Knockout Group, enabled for a selected group, through object.transparencyGroup.

A gradient feather on a group (Gradient Feather tool over grouped text, as
in LYH Studio's poster tutorial) did nothing on screen: groups never went
through the effects path. In PDF the group's mask was the group's own path
bounds, and a group has no path, so the mask covered a box of zero size and
hid the group.
- Item::feather_bounds: the box the feather spans, the objects' bounds for
a group.
- Render: a feathered group draws its objects in one layer, then fades it
with the same mask as other objects (fx::gradient_feather_mask).
- PDF: the group's mask spans its objects.

The Eyedropper on a placed image now does what InDesign does: with text
selected, clicking the photo colours the text with the image's colour under
the pointer; with objects selected, it fills them. The colour is an unnamed
colour (reused when the same colour is sampled again). Images on locked
layers can be sampled, and unfilled frames over the image let it show through.
- color.sample {at, spread?, target?: fill|stroke, ids?} samples the frontmost
visible raster image at a spread point; one undo step; a caret or a point
with no image is refused without an edit.
- object.color shares its swatch lookup with it.
- The Eyedropper tool sends color.sample over an image, matchAttributes
elsewhere as before.

In InDesign double-clicking a selection handle fits the frame to its
content: a corner fits both sides, a top or bottom handle the height, a
side handle the width. LYH Studio's tutorial uses it at 9:30 to fit the
INDESIGN text frame before moving it to the corner. In DesignCraft the
double-click switched to the Type tool.
- Selection tool: a double-click on a handle runs object.fit
{mode: fitFrameToContent, axis: both|height|width}.
- object.fit fitFrameToContent fits text frames to their composed text:
the bottom to the last line's descent, the right side to the longest
line (one column), plus the insets, keeping the top-left. Overset text
grows the frame first. Before, it fitted graphic frames only.

Conflict: crates/compose/src/lib.rs: one re-export line with next's hit_cell_with and the branch's BorderHit/hit_border
Conflict: crates/tools/src/text.rs: next's IME/preedit, guides and unit_selected kept alongside the border drag; border press checked after the Down resets; drag keeps next's `cell_drag || unit_selected` guard after the border branch; Esc cancels a border drag before next's preedit guard; BorderHit via next's `compose` alias
Conflict: crates/tools/src/tests.rs: both sides' appended tests kept
Conflict: docs/target-app-parity.md: next's IDML line, branch's Tables line
Conflict: ROADMAP.md: branch entry on top of next's entries
Hovering a table's inner column or row border, or its end or bottom
edge, shows a double-arrow cursor; dragging resizes instead of selecting
text. A column drag changes the column before the border and moves later
columns; Shift keeps the table width (the next column compensates), and
Shift on the end edge scales every column. Rows work the same way, and a
dragged row becomes At Least. Sizes clamp at 3 pt. One undo step per
drag, Esc cancels, locked frames refuse, and the pointer is mapped
through the frame's transform so rotated frames and turned spreads work.
New command table.resizeBorder {story?, table?, frame?, axis, index,
delta | size, keepTableSize?}; the Type tool emits it through
Begin/Preview/Commit. compose::hit_border finds the border under a point
in frame inner space.
Closes#595

Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/toolbar.rs: next's text-aware proxy buttons (color_target, colors_affect_text, apply_swatch) kept; the proxy reads stroke_front from UiState instead of egui temp data
object.swapFillStroke and object.defaultFillStroke change every unlocked
target in one edit, so one undo restores them all. Swap works per object
and keeps each object's tints; a stroke that gets a colour at zero weight
gets the default 1 pt. Objects that are locked, or on a locked layer,
stay as they are. color.swapFillStroke and color.defaultFillStroke run
these commands.
The proxy's tooltips named keys that did nothing. color.defaultFillStroke
(D), color.swapFillStroke (Shift+X), color.toggleFillStroke (X) and
color.applyNone (/) are UI commands; the proxy's buttons run the same
commands. Swap keeps the fill and stroke tints.
Which of fill and stroke is in front lives in UiState, shared by the
Tools panel proxy, the Color panel and the commands. The single-key
shortcuts stay out of text being typed, like the tool shortcuts.

Styles could not be taken from one document into another; a client's
styles had to be rebuilt in every new file. The Paragraph Styles and
Character Styles panels now have Load Paragraph Styles, Load Character
Styles and Load All Text Styles: pick a .designcraft or .idml file,
tick the styles to load and choose what happens to one the document
defines differently (redefine, keep, or load under a new name). The
styles, swatches and lists a loaded style names come along.
`style.load` does it in one undo step.
The renderer painted the paper, then blended page items with it: black
text in Color Dodge over blank paper dodged the white to white and
vanished, and other modes showed the same way. In InDesign (and in PDF,
where the page group starts transparent) the paper is not a backdrop:
over blank paper an object in any blend mode shows as it is, and only
the objects below it are blended with. On spreads that use a blend mode
the items are now drawn in their own group, laid over the paper once;
other spreads render as before.

The font menu (Control bar, Character panel, Properties, task bar, style
dialogs, Find Font, Glyphs) now has InDesign's layout:
- a search field with a clear button, and a Filters row: classification
(All Classes, serif, slab serif, sans serif, script, monospaced,
decorative, symbol), Show Favorites Only, Show Recently Added (fonts
added in the last 30 days);
- the sample text (Selected Text, Sample, Aa Bb Cc, a pangram, digits)
in three sizes, remembered with the UI state;
- Recently Used fonts at the top, then every family;
- a family of several styles shows how many and opens to list them, each
previewed in its own face; picking a style applies it as it is;
- each family's format after its sample, and Show Similar Fonts (≈) to
list the families of the same class nearest by PANOSE.
Find More and the activated-fonts filter are Adobe Fonts services and
are left out. The font combo is a field and a plain popup now: egui's
combo box kept its menu at the size it last had, so a family opening or
a filter clearing didn't show. The ≈ button stays while the pointer is
on it (the row under it no longer counts as hovered there). New strings
are translated.

With a frame's content selected (Direct Selection, or selection.set
{content: true}), transform.set still rotated, scaled and moved the
frame. It now transforms the placed graphic inside the frame and leaves
the frame alone, as InDesign's Transform panel does: rotation, shear and
scale are absolute and measured as transform.info reports the content;
x, y, width and height are the graphic's bounds on the page. A
`content` parameter picks either explicitly.

ase::read accepted any number of colors in a swatch exchange file, and
swatch.load looked up each incoming name with a linear search through
the document's swatches. The time to load a file grew with the square of
its number of colors: in a test build, 50,000 colors used 2.5 s of CPU
and 100,000 used 9.6 s. No limit applied to larger files.
ase::read now returns an error for a file with more than 100,000 colors
(ase::MAX_COLORS). load_swatches looks up each name's first swatch in a
HashMap, and each color added from the file is indexed too. A file of
100,000 colors now loads in under 0.1 s. The merge follows the same
rules as before: names already in the document are kept unless replace
is set, a name repeated in the file matches its first copy, and a
locked swatch is left unchanged.

An anchored object with text wrap pushes aside the text of other stories
whose frames it overlaps on its spread, and the lines of its own story
after the line holding its anchor (custom and above-line objects). Its own
story is composed again with the objects where the previous pass placed
them until they settle, at most four more times. The composition cache
keys a story wrapped by other stories' anchored objects on their
signatures, and canvas damage repaints the stories they wrap.
