Drop the app icon from the top of the README, matching PhotoCraft, and
show each app's icon next to its name in the Crafting Apps table in place
of the coloured name badges. The table is now identical across all seven
apps apart from the "you are here" row.

prefs.set (application) and document.preferences (units, increments, grids; undoable).
Scaling applies to content: paths and placed graphics take the scale, stroke weights follow
with Include Stroke Weight. X/Y/W/H and transform.set measure the stroke's outer edge.
The command palette becomes Quick Apply and lists styles.

- designcraft-textimport (L3): DOCX (styles by name with spacing/indents/alignment and font,
size, bold/italic/underline/strike/caps/position; runs, tabs, breaks, footnotes, tables,
hyperlink/field results; used styles only), RTF (text, paragraphs, bold/italic/underline/
strike, size, Unicode/cp1252, skipped destinations), plain text (+ tests)
- engine: file.place routes text files into the insertion point, the selected frame or a new
frame on the page; imported styles added (existing win); removeStyles; autoflow adds pages
with threaded frames until the story fits (+ test)
- app/web: Place dialogs accept .docx/.rtf/.txt/.md

- color: Swatch.hidden — unnamed colours (applied, not listed in Swatches until added)
- engine: object.color (reuses a swatch with the same colour, else an unnamed one; fill or
stroke), swatch.addToSwatches (optionally named; users follow the rename),
swatch.addUnnamed (+ test)
- UI: Color panel with fill/stroke proxy, CMYK/RGB/Lab, channel sliders with gradient tracks and
value fields, tint slider for named swatches, spectrum ramp, Add to Swatches; Color Picker
dialog (double-click a proxy chip); Swatches hides unnamed colours

- Edit › Paste Into (⌥⌘V): copied objects (with their stories and images) become the selected
frame's content, clipped by it; Item::is_group / has_nested_items; renderer and PDF draw fill,
clipped content, stroke; IDML nests the items inside the frame both ways (verified in
InDesign 2026) (+ tests)
- Polygon Settings: sides and star inset as engine preferences used by the polygon tools and
frame.create; double-click the Polygon tool (+ test)

- engine::recovery: unsaved documents written to a recovery folder (atomic write + metadata),
reopened as unsaved documents that remember their files; entries dropped on save/close
(+ tests); file.recovery.list/save/open, file.revert, file.saveACopy (+ test)
- app: recovery folder per platform, recovered on launch with a status message; UI writes
recovery data every 30 s while documents are unsaved; File › Save a Copy…, Revert
- parity: recovery, revert, save a copy done

- render: damage()/damage_with() — changed items and only the frames whose composition changed
(cache keeps the composition each edit replaced; Cache::composed_for matches a document
version exactly); conservative full repaint for styles, swatches, layers, parents, wrap,
effects and cross-story text (+ tests incl. pixel-identical patch vs full render)
- UI: canvas patches its texture after edits with the view unchanged (0.6 ms vs 22 ms on the
sample when typing); perf harness row for the damage repaint

- engine: guide.add/move/delete/deleteAll/list, layout.createGuides (rows/columns with gutters,
margins or page) (+ test)
- UI: drag a guide out of either ruler (page guide, or spread guide on the pasteboard), drag one
with the selection tools to move it, drop it on a ruler to delete it; spread guides cross the
pasteboard; Layout › Create Guides…, View › Grids & Guides › Delete All Guides on Spread
- fix: the Contextual Task Bar called is_pointer_over_egui inside ctx.input — a deadlock that
froze the app while dragging with a selection
- ui_shot injects synthetic input (ui.click/ui.drag/ui.key now work offscreen)

- doc: OBJECT_MARK with Story::objects (items normalized to the origin) kept in sync on edits,
copy/paste slices and threading
- compose: inline objects are wide glyphs sitting on the baseline (Y offset; auto leading grows);
above-line objects push their line down; placements per frame follow vertical justification
- render + PDF draw anchored items with their lines
- engine: anchored.insert/options/release/list; pasting copied items into text anchors them;
Options/Release act on the object at the insertion point (+ test)
- Object › Anchored Object menu

- doc: Story::extract / insert_story carry formats, footnotes, cross-references, index markers
and tables through copy and paste
- engine: edit.copy/cut on text keep a formatted slice; edit.paste uses it while the system
clipboard matches (else plain text, no smart quotes); edit.pasteWithoutFormatting (⇧⌘V);
type.changeCase (upper/lower/title/sentence, run formats kept)
- UI: canvas copy/cut/paste go through the engine; Type › Insert Special Character (Symbols,
Markers, Hyphens and Dashes, Quotation Marks, Other), Insert White Space, Insert Break
Character, Change Case; nested submenus in the menu parser (+ test)

- doc: INDEX_MARK with Story::index_refs kept in sync (topics 1–4 levels, sort keys, current
page / to end of story / next n paragraphs / suppressed / See / See also); index builder with
section headings, nested or run-in entries, merged page ranges; Document::index for updates
- engine: index.addReference (topic from the selection), index.list, index.generate, index.update
with Index Title / Section Head / Level 1–4 styles (+ tests)
- IDML: PageReference markers and the Index topic tree with See / See also cross-references,
both ways (verified in InDesign 2026)
- Layout › Index menu

- doc: ANCHOR_MARK / XREF_MARK with Story::anchors / xrefs kept in sync on edits, 11 formats
(InDesign's building blocks + partial paragraph), paragraph anchors, typographic quotes
- compose: anchor pages via an XrefIndex (cached per document signature); cross-references are
resolved at composition, so they never go stale; '??' for missing destinations
- PDF: cross-references become link annotations to the destination page
- IDML: export/import as HyperlinkTextDestination / CrossReferenceSource / Hyperlink /
CrossReferenceFormat (+ XRef page variables); verified live in InDesign 2026
- engine: xref.insert/list/setFormat/defineFormat/formats, anchor.create/list (+ tests)
- UI: New Cross-Reference dialog (styles → paragraphs, format); menu pass adding TOC, sections,
text variables, hyperlinks, footnotes, step and repeat, spelling, fitting/content submenus,
effects, Data Merge, Preflight, EPUB; fixed-parameter menu variants; ui.menu.invoke opens
generated dialogs; every-menu-entry-is-a-command test

- doc: FOOTNOTE_REF marker + Story::notes (kept in sync on insert/delete/thread), FootnoteOptions,
NumberStyle::Symbols, footnote text addressed like cell text (CellAddr::footnote)
- compose: notes numbered (continuous / restart per page, spread, section), composed at column
width, body text makes room, stacked at the column bottom with the rule above
- render + PDF draw footnote text; IDML export/import in InDesign's structure (verified in
InDesign 2026), FootnoteOption preferences
- engine: footnote.insert/options/list/setText/delete/goToReference (+ tests)
- UI: caret/selection in footnote text, Footnote Options dialog, Type menu entries; menu items
labelled '…' with parameters open a dialog generated from the command's params doc
- sample magazine carries a footnote
