Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (11:00–
13:30) drags guides out of the rulers with the Page tool on a
guide-based page: "these guides are a little bit different... they are a
dashed line, a cyan dashed line" - liquid guides, which let the objects
they cross stretch with the page. DesignCraft drew liquid guides dashed
and applied them, but a guide could only become liquid through the
Liquid Layout panel's list: ruler drags always made ruler guides.
- canvas: with the Page tool, a page guide dragged from a ruler is a
liquid guide; its preview is dashed while it's dragged.
- engine: guide.add takes `liquid`.

Chris Cicchino's "Adobe InDesign – Page Tool and Liquid Layout" (2:47,
7:24) uses the Liquid Layout panel: "Liquid Page Rule:" with "Page: n",
Content › Auto-Fit, and Object Constraints › Resize with Page (Height,
Width) and Pin (Top, Left, Bottom, Right), greyed until an object on an
object-based page is selected. DesignCraft's panel had a "Page 1" label,
the rule, six wrapped checkboxes ("Resize width", "Pin top"…) only once
an object was selected, and a Create Alternate Layout form.
- Liquid Layout panel: InDesign's layout and labels; the page is the one
the Page tool selected (else the page in view); Auto-Fit (graphic
frames) runs object.fittingOptions; the constraints apply on
object-based pages (also through Controlled by Parent) and stay
greyed otherwise. The page's liquid guides stay listed below for now.
- Layout menu: Create Alternate Layout… (as in InDesign).
- Translations for the new labels.
Builds on #864 (rule list, Controlled by Parent) and #862.

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" (1:02–
2:06, 13:47) sizes pages from the Control panel with the Page tool
selected: X/Y, W/H, the page-size preset ("US Business Card"),
orientation, Liquid Page Rule ("Controlled by Parent"), Objects Move with
Page and Show Parent Page Overlay. DesignCraft's Control panel showed the
(empty) object controls.
- ui: with the Page tool, the Control panel shows the selected page (or
the page in view): the reference point (W/H, preset and orientation
keep it in place via layout.pageSize's anchor), X/Y (read-only),
W/H, the preset dropdown, portrait/landscape, Liquid Page Rule, Objects
Move with Page (always on: pages don't move within spreads yet) and
Show Parent Page Overlay.
- doc: LiquidRule::ControlledByParent (the parent page's rule, Off
without one; resolved by liquid::effective_rule); Page.show_parent_overlay.
- engine: layout.pageOptions {pages, showParentOverlay}; liquid.pageRule
takes controlledByParent.
- canvas: the parent page's size over a page with the overlay on.
- Liquid Layout panel and Control panel share InDesign's rule list
(Off, Scale, Re-center, Object-based, Guide-based, Controlled by
Parent); "US Business Card" preset; translations.
Builds on the Page tool PR (#862) for the selected page.

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.

Placed PDFs rendered through hayro 0.7 from crates.io, whose
hayro-interpret divides integers in calculator functions without a
check, does not limit how deep functions nest and samples each mesh
triangle over its whole bounding box. A placed PDF whose calculator
function runs `1 0 idiv` or `-2147483648 -1 idiv` panicked the render.
A chain of 100,000 functions, each stitching function naming the next,
overflowed the stack and aborted the process. Mesh shadings with points
far off the page, ten thousand overlapping triangles or forty thousand
patches ran for over a minute or passed 2 GiB of memory.
[patch.crates-io] now takes hayro, hayro-interpret, hayro-syntax and
hayro-jbig2 from pdfcraft's vendor/ directory at b5467d93, with the
patches its vendor/README.md lists. The crate versions do not change.
The patched hayro-syntax sizes a page with a /UserUnit in points, and
pdf_page_box scales the page's boxes by the same unit, so with Crop to
the frame still shows the chosen box. NOTICE names the new source and
the licenses. The function and mesh tests in
crates/render/tests/placed_pdf.rs follow pdfcraft's tests in
crates/render/src/raster.rs.
InDesign's Effects dialog sets an Inner Glow's blend Mode (Screen by
default) and Technique (Softer or Precise), and a Basic Feather's Choke
and Corners (Sharp, Rounded, Diffused). LYH Studio episode 14 shows them
at 12:05–12:20 (Screen 75 %, Softer, 0.25 in; 0.0625 in, Diffused).
- doc: InnerGlow.mode and .technique (GlowTechnique), Effects.
feather_options (FeatherOptions: choke %, FeatherCorners), with
InDesign's defaults; old documents read as before.
- render: the glow uses its mode; Precise keeps it nearer the edge; the
feather's choke shortens the fade, Sharp and Rounded corners follow
the shape more tightly or softly than Diffused (unchanged, so the
goldens stay).
- render fix: an inner glow's (and a bevel's) blend mode was applied
inside the clip layer, against its empty backdrop, so Screen and
Multiply acted as Normal; the blend layer now wraps the finished edge
and mixes with the object below.
- engine: choke clamped to 0–100; the params documented.
- Effects dialog: Mode and Technique on Inner Glow; Choke and Corners on
Basic Feather; strings translated.
Builds on #643 (the Effects dialog).

LYH Studio episode 6 (7:00) fills its photo frames with the caption
"Fit Content to Frame (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + C)", InDesign's shortcut for
Fill Frame Proportionally. DesignCraft's Fitting items were object.fit
variants without shortcuts (a menu shortcut belongs to a command id, and
the five modes share one).
- Five UI commands, one per mode, with InDesign's keys:
fit.fillFrameProportionally Cmd+Alt+Shift+C,
fit.contentProportionally Cmd+Alt+Shift+E, fit.frameToContent
Cmd+Alt+C, fit.contentToFrame Cmd+Alt+E, fit.centerContent
Cmd+Shift+E (Ctrl on Windows and Linux); each runs object.fit.
- Object > Fitting lists them (with their shortcuts), enabled as
object.fit is.

LYH Studio episode 6 builds every gradient from C=0 M=100 Y=0 K=0 to
C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0. InDesign blends a gradient's process stops as inks:
halfway is C 50 M 50, a light lilac. DesignCraft converted both ends to
RGB and blended there, so the middle came out a darker violet (117, 88,
189 instead of 135, 119, 181), and every Episode 6 gradient looked
different. A midpoint between CMYK stops also became an RGB colour, so
the PDF shading turned RGB with a conversion warning.
- color: `Color::lerp` blends CMYK with CMYK (or grey), and grey with
grey, in ink space; anything with RGB still blends in RGB.
- `Gradient::display_stops`: the expanded stops plus samples through
each span that isn't RGB at both ends, for renderers that interpolate
in RGB; the screen renderer uses it.
- pdf: a midpoint's expanded stop now keeps the stops' space; the
colour-space test expects no conversion for CMYK or grey midpoints.

LYH Studio episode 6 starts with "Window > Workspace > Essential
Classic" and opens panels with "Window > Color > Gradient & Swatches".
DesignCraft's Window menu had no Workspace or Color submenu (panels sat
in one "Panels" list) and no Essentials Classic workspace.
- Window menu: Arrange, Workspace, then the panels alphabetically with
InDesign's groups (Color: Color, Gradient, Swatches; Editorial;
Interactive; Object & Layout; Output; Styles; Type & Tables;
Utilities). Every panel stays reachable; Next/Previous Document moved
into Arrange.
- Window > Workspace: the built-in workspaces as "[Essentials]", the
current one checked, Reset <current>, New Workspace. The app bar's
switcher uses the same list and order.
- Essentials Classic: the Control panel, no Properties stack, and an
icon column of named panel groups ([Pages, Layers, Links] [Stroke,
Color] [Swatches] [Effects] [Paragraph] [Text Wrap] [Character
Styles, Paragraph Styles] [Gradient]); Window > Pages opens Pages
from its group. Saved workspaces keep the groups.
- Flyouts and floating panels name Pages, Layers and Properties.
- Translations for Editorial, Object & Layout, Styles and Essentials
Classic.

LYH Studio episode 6 (1:36-2:05) builds its gradient in the Gradient
panel: it drags C=0 M=100 Y=0 K=0 from the Swatches panel onto the left
stop, drops C=100 M=0 Y=0 K=0 on the ramp (a new stop at 68.636 %), then
drags the black stop off. DesignCraft's Gradient panel took no swatches,
showed only a hint until the fill was a gradient, and laid out its
fields differently.
- Gradient panel: InDesign's layout (thumbnail; Type; Location % and
Angle; Reverse; the ramp with midpoint diamonds above and stops below).
Until the fill is a gradient it shows the default White -> Black ramp;
clicking the thumbnail or using the ramp starts one. Midpoints drag
and take a Location. A stop's colour picker moved to its right-click
menu, so selecting a stop no longer grows the panel.
- Swatches panel rows are drag sources (the chip follows the pointer):
dropped on a stop a swatch colours it, elsewhere on the ramp it adds
a stop there.
- Stops keep their colour model through panel edits (CMYK used to turn
into hex RGB whenever a stop moved).
- engine: `object.gradient` stops accept `swatch` (its colour; gradient
swatches and [None] are refused) and colours accept `{gray}`.

LYH Studio episode 6 (8:28) gives the "1969" headline the "New Gradient
Swatch" (magenta → cyan) from the Swatches panel. InDesign runs a gradient
on text across its text frame's box. DesignCraft resolved a character
fill to one solid colour, so a gradient swatch drew no text at all.
- render: a character fill or stroke that names a gradient swatch is
painted with that gradient over the frame's box in text space (type on
a path: the path's box).
- pdf: text runs take a gradient paint: the shading is laid out in the
frame's text space and mapped into each run's origin, so skew and
horizontal scale don't bend it; outlined runs and type on a path too.

A gradient swatch on a stroke drew nothing: strokes were painted with a
single resolved colour. LYH Studio episode 6 gives the loop on the right
page (9:13) and, at first by accident, the circle (1:19, "right now it
is on the stroke") a gradient stroke.
- doc: Stroke::gradient_angle / gradient_vector (as Fill's) and
Stroke::as_fill(), the stroke's paint as a fill.
- render and PDF: a gradient stroke is painted like a gradient fill,
across the path's box (dash gaps and arrowheads keep their paints).
- engine: object.gradient {target: stroke} edits the stroke's
gradient (kind, stops, angle, the Gradient Swatch tool's from/to);
scaling moves the stroke's vector with the shape.
- IDML: GradientStrokeStart/Length/Angle round-trip.
- Gradient panel: acts on the stroke when the toolbox's Stroke box is
in front, as InDesign's follows the Fill/Stroke proxy.

.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.

Callers from outside the app now get a parameter error for a key a
command's params description doesn't name, instead of the command
running with its defaults: `text.select {story, start, end}` and
`style.list {bogus: 1}` are refused with "unknown parameter `…`" and the
nearest or the accepted keys.
- engine: `cmd::params` (ported from VectorCraft #1442) reads the keys
from each params description; `check_params` / `check_keys`.
`Session::execute` itself stays lenient so old journals replay; in the
engine's own tests it checks too, as the audit of the descriptions.
- MCP: tools/call answers -32602 for an argument a tool doesn't take and
for params a command doesn't take (`execute`, every `batch` step before
the first runs); the headless backend checks as well.
- Control channel (`engine.execute`) and `designcraft-cli run --cmd`.
- Descriptions now name every key their commands read (table target
cells, anchored objects, gap.move, file.place, data merge, prefs.set,
…); type.char / type.para stay unchecked (their attributes may be the
params object itself; the setters refuse unknown attributes).
- Tests that passed keys the commands never read are fixed, and the pen
tool no longer sends the unread `notifyPen`.
