* Guides: a dragged guide shows where it is (#1282)
While a guide is dragged out of a ruler or moved, a label beside the
pointer reads X: or Y: and the guide's place, in the ruler units and
measured the way the rulers measure (from the zero point, and from the
page origin when rulers restart per page).
* Guides: keep the drag readout inside the canvas
Near the canvas's right or bottom edge the readout flips to the other
side of the pointer, and it is kept inside the canvas in every case
(readout_at).
* Guides: the drag readout measures the spread under the pointer
The readout measured from the spread in the middle of the view (where the
rulers measure), but a guide is dropped on the spread under the pointer,
so with spreads above one another the number shown could differ from the
guide's place. It now measures that spread (ruler_pieces_of).
* Guides: no readout for an existing guide over another spread
An existing guide moves only on its own spread (guide_drag), so dropped
over another it stays where it was: the readout no longer shows a place
there it won't go.
* #1282: guide selection commands (guide.select, guide.selectAll, guide.deselect, guide.moveBy)
* #1282: select ruler guides on the canvas, X/Y in the Control bar and Properties
* #1282: guides take clicks over objects, a new guide is selected, group drag preview
* ROADMAP: the progress line lands in one commit after the guide PRs

file.place, place.drop, placed media and Fixed Width text frame columns refuse a rect that overflows to infinity or NaN. Saving refuses a document with non-finite item geometry before writing anything, so a file that won't load is never written.
crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs: the branch's dialog body is laid out differently; the Color Theme body goes into its match beside Text Frame Options, and its OK label into the branch's translated labels.
crates/ui-egui/src/menus.rs: keep the branch's Effects dialog opener and add the Color Theme opener.
crates/ui-egui/src/panels/swatches.rs: keep both menu rows (Swatch Options… from #416, Color Theme…).
crates/tools/src/tests.rs: the PR's Graphic literal names clip, wrap and fill.
docs/agents.md: keep both sections.
ROADMAP.md: the PR's line moves under "Newest first."; its copy of an existing 2026-10-13 line is dropped.
frame.create, story.setText, text.insert and the other commands that take
text kept U+000B as a character, drawn as a missing-glyph box. It is the
forced line break of Word and PowerPoint text (Chr(11), Shift+Enter), and
what people porting scripts try first, so text_param now reads it as
U+2028, the forced line break, next to the CR handling it already has.
script --help and docs/agents.md say so.
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.

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.

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`.
Fixes#776
Save and Save a Copy put a picture of the first page in the .designcraft
zip as preview.png (320 px on the longer side). The start screen reads
only that entry and shows the last eight recent files as cards with the
picture and the name, below the community card. Files saved before have
a blank page until they are saved again.
The package fallback-font test writes its fixture without Save's preview:
drawing it before the document's fonts load pulled in a system font that
covers the test's characters (Unifont CSUR) ahead of the document's own.
to_bytes returns a Result and every caller propagates it, so a document
that can't be written is an error: the existing file, the unsaved state
and the recovery checkpoint stay. Asset entries near or over 4 GiB are
written with zip64 sizes. On the web, Save marks the document saved only
after the browser download has started.
Conflict: crates/engine/src/cmd/mod.rs: next's file/layout exports + is_svg_markup
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs: next's logic(); the PR's RequestPaste hook and request_system_paste field dropped (next reads the system clipboard through Services::clipboard_text); run() routes edit.paste with SVG markup and no insertion point to edit.pasteSvg at next's view centre (with_system_clipboard's spread/at)
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/menus.rs: next's activate/menu_enabled; pastes_from_system dropped
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/canvas.rs: PR's view_centre dropped (next's canvas::view_centre); PR's Event::Paste SVG arm dropped (the paste event reaches run() through edit.paste); tests both, the PR's two UI tests rewritten against run() (paste event in the middle of the view; native-menu Edit > Paste reading SVG from the system clipboard, markup stays text at an insertion point)
Conflict: docs/control-protocol.md: ui.ime and ui.paste rows
Conflict: ROADMAP.md: logs both
Illustrator, VectorCraft, Figma and Inkscape put copied objects on the
system clipboard as SVG markup. Pasting it now creates editable paths, as
InDesign does with Illustrator art: fills, strokes (weight, caps, joins,
dashes) and opacity come through as unnamed colours, groups stay groups,
text comes in as outlines, CSS pixels become points (0.75 pt/px) and the
art is centred in the view. One undo step; garbage is refused.
- engine: edit.pasteSvg {svg, spread?, at?}
- canvas: Ctrl/Cmd+V with SVG on the clipboard (not while typing)
- Edit > Paste with nothing copied here asks for the system clipboard
- control channel: ui.paste {text}

Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs: import_file takes the PR's `styles` early return first, then next's content-sniffing `layout` line
Conflict: ROADMAP.md: kept both progress-log lines
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.
Conflicts in crates/engine/src/cmd/object.rs:
- Helpers: kept next's opt_u64, siblings_mut(d, spread, parent), reorder,
set_layer_deep and set_layer, then added the branch's GroupPlan,
group_plan, GROUP_SAME_LEVEL and can_group. The branch's
siblings_mut(d, &GroupPlan) is dropped; group() calls next's helper as
siblings_mut(d, plan.spread, &plan.parent).
- Tests: kept next's reorder_tests and the other test modules next added,
followed by the branch's group_tests module.
group() and ungroup() were unchanged on next, so group() is the branch's
version. cmd/mod.rs (CANT_GROUP_SELECTION, selection_reason) and lib.rs
(execute_unguarded) merged without conflicts.
Grouping objects that were not top-level items of the first object's
spread panicked (index out of bounds), through object.group, Group on a
content selection, and states.create. Objects nested at different levels
or on different spreads were silently left out of the new group.
Objects that share a spread and a parent group now group into a nested
group in that parent, keeping their stacking order and position. Objects
on different spreads or at different levels return an error and the
document is unchanged, as do objects inside a multi-state object. Group
is disabled in the menu for a selection it can't group; a call that
names its ids still runs whatever is selected.
Fixes#412
- apps/designcraft/Cargo.toml: the macOS target keeps objc2 0.6 / objc2-app-kit 0.3 (IME) and
adds fmv-macos-events =0.1.0, which uses the same objc2 and objc2-app-kit versions.
- apps/designcraft/src/main.rs: the shared Arc<gpu::Startup>, catch_unwind and restart flow
stay; the Apple-event handlers are installed before run_native (outside catch_unwind, held
until the window ends), the app drains the inbox each frame, and documents that arrived are
noted on the Startup. The open dialog keeps the INDD/INDT filter and ends with All files.
The open-filter test checks both; the save-dialog test is added.
- apps/designcraft/src/gpu.rs: Startup::opening records the documents the OS handed this run;
a start again after a graphics failure (both finish and the first-frame watch) passes them
as file arguments, since Finder doesn't send them twice.
- apps/designcraft/src/apple_events.rs: poll returns the documents it handed the app, and
queued() returns those still in the inbox when the window ends.
- crates/engine/src/cmd/file.rs: file.open decides by content first (IDML by its mimetype
entry, then a DesignCraft package or JSON), then an InDesign file by its signature or
.indd/.indt extension, then a .idml or .designcraft extension for the reader's own error;
anything else is "not a DesignCraft or IDML file". INDD stays in file.openBytes. Save
commands add .designcraft as on file-open-os; the params docs describe all of it.
- crates/engine/src/cmd/mod.rs: re-exports from both sides (is_document,
with_document_extension and layout::chapter_numbering).
- file.save / file.saveAs / file.saveACopy add the .designcraft extension to a
given path that lacks it and report the path written; saving back to the
document's own file keeps its name.
- file.open tells DesignCraft and IDML packages apart by content, so files
without an extension open; anything else is "not a DesignCraft or IDML file".
- Dropped or web-picked files without an extension open as documents when their
content is one.
- Desktop save dialogs filter on the suggested extension and add it to a name
typed without it, asking before replacing an existing file; the open dialog
gains "All files".
- macOS: open-documents Apple events (Finder, Dock, Open With) through
fmv-macos-events, queued until the window is ready; Info.plist declares the
.designcraft type and an imported .idml type with CFBundleDocumentTypes.
- Windows MSI: .designcraft ProgId with an Open verb, IDML under Open with.
- Linux: shared-mime-info for both types and MimeType in the .desktop file.
Fixes#158, #211, #375
The zero point is document state (DocSettings.zeroPoint, zeroPointLocked):
an offset from the top-left corner of each spread's pages, so every
spread measures from the same relative place and split views share it.
view.zeroPoint {at, reset} and view.lockZeroPoint {on} set it; moving it
is not an undo step and undo/redo keep it. Values are kept on the
pasteboard, from commands, files and IDML.
Rulers and the X/Y fields (Control, Properties, Info, transform.set)
measure from it. IDML reads and writes Document ZeroPoint.
Dragging from the ruler corner places it where released, with crosshair
lines while dragging; a click that stays in the corner does nothing; a
double-click resets it; the corner's context menu locks it.
Conflict: ROADMAP.md: kept both entries (New Document, then Numbering & Section Options).
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs: width match keeps "newDocument" => 960.0 and adds "numberingSection" => 560.0, dropping the PR's "newDocument" if is_rtl => 380.0; tests keep next's helper block and add only the PR's numbering_and_section_options_keep_their_actions_in_view.
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/i18n.rs: kept both TABLE tail blocks (File › New › Document, then Layout › Numbering & Section Options).
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/it.rs: kept both tail blocks.
Conflict: ROADMAP.md: both lines kept (next's IDML1 line, then the Tabs panel line)
Conflict: crates/engine/src/cmd/mod.rs: both spec lists kept (thread::specs, then tabs::specs)
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs: next's delete_paragraph_style and the PR's style_tabs both kept, without the section_list doc comment that next removed; in the tests the PR's copies of draw, ruled_paragraph, undo_steps, the rule tests, command_app, the generic command tests and the text frame options test duplicated next's identical ones and were dropped, keeping only the PR's new Tabs section test
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/it.rs: both blocks kept (next's machine-translated rows, then the Tabs rows)
Conflict: crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/uk.rs: both blocks kept (next's machine-translated rows, then the Tabs rows)
type.tabs.* edit the stops of the selected paragraphs or, with a style
parameter, of a paragraph style. Positions are finite and clamped, a
paragraph holds at most 100 stops, leaders up to 8 characters and the
align-on character is one character. type.tabs.get reports the stops,
indents and the text column they are measured in.
Layout > Numbering & Section Options now opens its own window instead of
the generated command form, on the section of the page in view: Start
Section (always on for page 1), Automatic Page Numbering or Start Page
Numbering at, and a Page Numbering group with Section Prefix, Style,
Section Marker and Include Prefix when Numbering Pages; then Document
Chapter Numbering with its style, Automatic Chapter Numbering, Start
Chapter Numbering at, Same as Previous Document in the Book (only in a
book) and the book's name. OK and Cancel sit beside the options, out of
the scrolling body.
OK runs layout.section and layout.chapterNumbering; a refused value
(a prefix over eight characters or with + or a comma, a start number
below 1) keeps the window open and changes nothing. Opening the window
reads the chapter numbering without running a command, so it doesn't
stop a Data Merge preview. New strings are translated (German, French,
Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Italian).

Resolve conflicts with the CJK/Arabic work: trailing spaces follow the line
only in left-to-right paragraphs without right-to-left glyphs (layout_line
now takes the bidi info); style linking moves to ScopedFonts so the
document's own fonts count (FontDb delegates to scope 0); threading keeps
the receiving story's direction and Vertical Type, and frames split off by
threading or removed from a thread keep theirs.

Resolve conflicts keeping both sides: doc gains both `cjk` and
`datamerge` modules; file.open resolves data-merge sources and loads the
document's fonts; DocState keeps preview_stash/preview_record and fonts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Opening a .designcraft or .idml file from disk (file.open, file.openIdml,
book chapters, recovered documents) loads the fonts in the "Document
Fonts" folder beside it. Their faces come before installed faces of the
same family and style. The files are untrusted: at most 200 are read,
256 MB each (full CJK collections fit) and 512 MB in all; files over a
limit by their listed length are skipped unread, and damaged, oversized
and surplus files are listed in the open result's warnings. Document fonts stay
loaded for the session (the font database is process-wide).
Faces record their source (bundled, installed file, document file,
memory); font.list reports it. File > Package copies the font files the
document uses into the package's Document Fonts folder unless OS/2
fsType restricts the licence, and the report says which fonts weren't
copied and why.
Select, update, and remove a linked source. Placeholders cover text,
images, QR codes, and hyperlinks. Preview fills one record in the
session and is left out of save and recovery. Merge copies the template
into a new document, one record per page, or tiles frames on a single
non-facing page. A missing or changed file is marked and the cached
rows are still used. The template undo stack is left as it was.
named_targets reads ids/id as targets() does, so {ids: [], id} can't
pass the gate and then run on nothing.

A command that documents ids (object.textFrameOptions, transform.rotate, ...)
acts on the objects a call names, yet its enabled check looked only at the
selection. With a text caret or nothing selected, {"ids": [5]} failed with:
command `object.textFrameOptions` is not available right now: nothing selected
Execute now lets such a call through when every named object exists, and
says "no object with id N" when one doesn't. transform.set, object.arrange
and edit.stepAndRepeat, which already acted on ids, now document them.

frame.create's text and text.insert kept CR and CR LF as characters, so text
written with InDesign's, classic Mac or Windows line ends ("One\rTwo") became
a single paragraph, and paragraph formatting (spaceAfter) never applied
between the parts. They now become \n, the paragraph separator, as edit.paste
and text import already did.

Commands return errors instead of expect()/unreachable!() (book, library,
undo/redo, paste, find/replace, Pathfinder, tables, QR, select, swatches,
anchors, articles, transform again, XML import). The sample document builder
propagates errors. Commands that add a key to their parameters no longer
panic when a caller (control channel, MCP, script) passes an array or a
string, and corrupt crash-recovery metadata is ignored. engine, mcp and
tools now deny unwrap/expect/panic/unimplemented/todo/unreachable.
