A Flex Layout container is a frame holding its objects as nested items
(as Edit › Paste Into makes), with a `flex` record: direction, wrap,
justification, cross-axis alignment, Fixed/Auto width and height, padding
and horizontal/vertical spacing. designcraft_doc::flex lays the objects
out (a Flexbox subset: lines, justification, alignment, Auto sizing), and
the engine runs it after every edit, so the container keeps its objects
in place whatever changes.
Commands: flex.add (Add to Flex Layout; detects aligned objects: their
direction, Auto size, Space Between at their own spacing, as InDesign
does), flex.convert (a group or rectangle frame), flex.remove (objects
stay, grouped), flex.set (every panel setting, plus the alignment grid
cell), flex.reorder. Resizing a container by its handles or W/H changes
its box and makes that side Fixed instead of scaling its objects;
dragging an object inside one drops it in the nearest place.
UI: Object › Flex Layout (Add to, Convert to, Remove, Show Flex Controls),
a Flex Layout panel (Window › Panels) laid out as InDesign's (Create Flex
Layout; alignment grid, W/H with Auto/Fixed; justification menu, four
directions, wrap; padding with the link button; spacing, greyed as
InDesign does when the justification works it out or nothing wraps), and
the same section in Properties. Icons are new drawings.

The panel was a row of text buttons (Add, Subtract, …, Make Compound,
Release). InDesign's has four rows of icon buttons: Paths (Join, Open,
Close, Reverse), Pathfinder, Convert Shape and Convert Point. The icons are
new drawings in icons.rs. Two engine commands back the rows that had none:
path.join (close an open path, or join two open paths at their nearest
ends) and path.convertPoints (plain, corner, smooth, symmetrical, on the
selected points or whole paths).

InDesign's Pathfinder result takes the attributes (and content) of the
frontmost object, except Subtract, which keeps the backmost. DesignCraft
kept the backmost for every op but Minus Back, so a photo placed over
strips and intersected with them was deleted and the black strips stayed
(Zero2Graphic's magazine tutorial, 7:19).

InDesign's Preferences › Appearance of Black defaults to Display All
Blacks as Rich Black on screen, so [Black] text and strokes look pure
black (RGB 0,0,0), as in Adobe's magazine-layout tutorial. DesignCraft
defaulted to Display All Blacks Accurately (#343334). Settings saved
with an explicit choice keep it.

Adds i18n/ka.rs (1,734 entries: every key of the shared, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Italian and Ukrainian tables, plus labels only the code and command table use), registered as ქართული in LANGUAGES and the Interface Language menu. Count captions use the category-first form Ukrainian already uses (გვერდი: 5), since Georgian nouns stay singular after a numeral. Tests: every Georgian key resolves, placeholders and ellipses are preserved, no Mtavruli, every menu title, item and submenu is translated, and switching to ka renders. Docs: localization-parity.md and ROADMAP.

Command descriptions left the new-text hyphenation default and image fitting outcomes implicit. State the default and each fitting mode's semantics, and add an MCP example that disables hyphenation. No behavior changes.
LYH Studio episode 6 colours the "1969" headline (8:28) and the loop's
stroke (9:15) from the Swatches panel, whose header holds InDesign's
Fill/Stroke proxy, Formatting Affects Container/Text and the Tint field.
- Header: a Fill/Stroke proxy showing the colours of what colour edits
apply to (panels::color_target; a click brings the other to the front,
as X does), the container/text buttons (app.formattingAffectsText) and
the tint of the colour in front.
- The Tint field sends only the tint, so each selected object (or run of
text) keeps its own swatch: object.fill takes a tint without a swatch,
and a stroke tint alone doesn't give a stroke-less object a stroke.
- Clicking a swatch applies it to the fill or stroke in front
(panels::apply_swatch, to the text when colours affect text); that row
is highlighted.
- Bottom row: New Color Group, New Swatch, Delete Swatch (the swatch last
clicked). Rows and the proxy are named for accessibility (and tests).

Add multi-click text selection, pending caret formatting and clipboard support, text-aware colour controls, guide/grid snapping, and frame threading with loaded-port interactions.
Include the layout, drop-cap and IDML updates carried from #83, with safeguards for generated and linked stories, external text references, local IDs, locked frames and atomic colour edits.
Fixes#23.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (6:32–
9:58) clicks an object with the Page tool on an object-based page and
gets InDesign's on-canvas liquid controls: a pin outside each edge
("Object is pinned relative to the page edge. Click to release.") and a
padlock on the width and height lines ("The object's width is locked.
Click to let the object change width as the page changes width."). The
pins and resize settings existed (liquid.object, the Liquid Layout
panel) but the canvas showed none of it.
- tools: on an object-based page a Page tool click selects the object
with its page (layout.selectPage takes `ids`); its pins (14 px outside
each edge's middle) and width/height locks (beside the centre) toggle
liquid.object on click, show InDesign's tooltips on hover and a hand
cursor.
- canvas: LiquidPins (orange dashed width/height lines with padlocks,
open when the object follows the page; hollow pins, or a line to the
page edge when pinned) and Tip overlays; tooltip translations.
Builds on the Page tool PR (#862).

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (0:42–
2:06) selects a page with the Page tool, gets its bounding box with
handles, drags a handle (the page springs back: a liquid-rule preview),
holds Option to really resize it, Shift for proportions, and reads the
size in a tooltip by the cursor. DesignCraft's Page tool only opened a
generic Page Size dialog on click.
- tools: the Page tool selects the page under a click (none on the
pasteboard); the selected page shows its outline, eight handles and
its liquid page rule ("Scale", "Object-Based"…) above it. Dragging a
handle previews layout.pageSize (the liquid rule re-flows the
objects) and springs back on release; Alt resizes, Shift keeps the
proportions; a W/H readout follows the pointer; resize cursors on the
handles. Double-click a page for the Page Size dialog.
- doc: Selection.page (the Page tool's page); engine: layout.selectPage
(no undo step).
- layout.pageSize `anchor` (0-8): the page grows away from the
reference point and its objects and guides keep their place relative
to it (a handle drag anchors the opposite edge); liquid rules work
from that.
- canvas: PageHandles and Tag overlays; translations for the tags and
the Resize Page undo label.
