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.

Georgian is a Properties text language (IDML "Georgian" maps to ka). Georgian has no initial capitals: Mtavruli is only for all-caps text, so Change Case title and sentence case and index section heads leave Mkhedruli as it is (doc::capitalizes); upper case still gives Mtavruli.

Chris Nielsen's "Numbering Page Sections" (7:03): starting a section at
page 1 on a left page (the spread 8–9 selected) turns it into a lone
right-hand page 1 in InDesign, and the pages after it shuffle. DesignCraft
kept the page on the left, so odd page numbers sat on left pages.
- Document::repaginate gives each facing page the side of its number in
its section (odd: right, or left bound right to left). Document Setup's
Start Page # is one case of it.
- layout.section repaginates when a section starts, changes or is removed;
objects go with their pages, in one undo step.

Review fix from aiongg (6db40bdb, the radial_ellipse part), ported to this
branch: a straight line's box has no ellipse, so its stroke's radial
gradient showed only the last stop once #823's gradient strokes land.

A Typography panel (Window ▸ Show Panel, and the icon column) lists the
features of the selected text's fonts, merged over those fonts, grouped as
Ligatures, Alternates, Stylistic Sets (named by the font), Figure Style,
Figure Width, Figure Position and Capitals. A section or choice appears only
when a font offers it.
Each feature is a checkbox: checked when all of the selection has it, a dash
when only some of it does, empty when none does. A feature only some of the
selection's fonts offer is italic. Mutually exclusive choices are checkboxes
too, and choosing one turns the others off.
type.openTypeFeatures reports each feature's applied and available state over
the selection. type.feature turns features on or off across the selection,
keeping each run's other features. The fonts crate reads GSUB and GPOS
feature lists and stylistic set names.
The Character panel's OpenType menu is now a button that opens or focuses the
Typography panel.

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.

InDesign draws a radial gradient in the object's bounding box: on a
non-square frame it's an ellipse reaching the frame's sides, and a
Gradient Swatch tool drag keeps those proportions. LYH Studio episode 6
(3:16) gives the left page's background a radial gradient: magenta in
the middle, cyan out to every edge. DesignCraft drew a circle reaching
only the longer side, so a portrait page stayed purple at its sides.
- doc: `Fill::radial_ellipse(bounds)`: centre and radii (default: the
box's centre and half its width and height; with a tool vector, its
start, and its length measured with the box made square).
- render: the radial paint is that circle, stretched by the paint
transform; PDF: the shading's transform does the same.

Backspace at the start of the second of two consecutive tables merged their
anchor paragraphs: Story::delete kept one table id, the other table was
dropped and the paragraph held two anchors. Pasting a table next to an anchor
replaced the existing table the same way, and pasting several paragraphs
right before an anchor left its table unreferenced. Saving succeeded;
reopening failed with "paragraph must hold exactly one anchor".
fix_tables now splits a table paragraph that holds further anchors, so every
anchor gets its own paragraph again. delete and insert_story tell it which
table each surviving anchor belongs to (fix_tables_with), and insert_story
fixes tables up once after the whole paste instead of after every run.
Regression tests in doc (Backspace between tables, deleting the middle of
three, paste before/after an anchor, paragraphs pasted before an anchor) and
engine (text.delete and edit.paste through commands, then a file round-trip);
all failed before the fix.

The DestIn mask now covers the whole render target (and the PDF's
exported area), with the gradient kept in item space through the paint
transform, since past the gradient's ends the end opacity carries on: a
child's long drop shadow or thick stroke is faded, not cut off at a box.
feather_bounds counts only shown children and active states, walking
nested groups without recursion.

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 Type tool's clicks, drags and double-clicks on type on a path went to
the character at the same spot of the straightened line, and the caret
and highlight were drawn straight. A click now finds the character where
its nearest point along the path is (compose::PathTextMap, from the line
to the path and back, as path_glyphs places the glyphs); the caret stands
across the path there and the highlight bends with the text. A click on
the letters, above the path, hits the frame.
Depends on #636 (PathWarp::nearest).

A character attribute strokeBehindFill paints a text stroke under the fill
at double width, so its full weight lies outside the letters and they keep
their shape. Screen and PNG rendering, PDF export (stroke as outlines
first, then the filled text, so the text is not duplicated; clipped to the
outside of the glyphs when there is no fill), Create Outlines (outside-
aligned stroke), the Properties panel and Character Style Options.
IDML StrokeAlignment on CharacterStyleRange, CharacterStyle and
ParagraphStyle imports and exports as the attribute (OutsideAlignment =
on, CenterAlignment = off).
Selected type on a path shows its start and end brackets across the path,
as in InDesign, and the Selection and Direct Selection tools drag them
along it (Move Bracket, one undo step): the text starts and ends where
they are, and text past the end bracket is overset.
- doc: PathType.end (None: the path's end)
- geom: PathWarp::nearest, the arc length of the nearest point
- engine: type.pathOptions {end}; brackets stay on the path and can't cross
- compose: the line runs from the start to the end bracket
- idml: EndBracket read and written
- tools: Cursor::PathBracket

A placed PDF, EPS or SVG under the Eyedropper matches attributes again,
as before, instead of failing with "no placed image under the point"
(Asset::is_raster, shared by the tool and color.sample). color.sample
hands its colour to object.color, which now colours selected text, the
text of selected frames ({text: true}), or the typing colour of an empty
story; a caret in existing text is refused before a swatch or undo step.

Share duplicate file data while keeping distinct link paths independent, and leave unused assets out of saved documents.
Validation: all six cargo xtask ci gates passed on the merge candidate; 1,170 native tests passed and all 15 WASM packages checked. Independent regression checks cover updates, relinking, embedding, undo and save/reopen.
Task: #420
Consecutive paragraphs with the same Split Columns settings form a split
block: their text fills the sub-columns of the column one after the
other from the block's top, inset by the outside gutter and separated by
the inside gutter, then moves on to the next column. When text follows
the block, its last part is balanced across the sub-columns and the text
continues below the deepest one at the full column width; a block that
ends the story fills its sub-columns in turn. Keep options don't apply
between a block's lines.
IDML: SplitColumnInsideGutter and SplitColumnOutsideGutter import and
export (paragraph attributes split_inside_gutter, split_outside_gutter).

* Lists: numbering formats from IDML (A, B, C; i, ii, iii; 01, 02 …)
A paragraph's numbering format, number expression, bullet character and
text after the bullet import from IDML and export back. Numbered labels
come from the expression ("^#.^t", "Tabel ^#^t") with its
metacharacters expanded, in place of a fixed "n." label. Adds 001 and
0001 number styles, keeps letter and roman labels short for huge
numbers, and counts saturate instead of overflowing.
* Lists: an empty paragraph gets no bullet or number
A list paragraph with no characters before its return draws no label,
and numbering carries on past it: in a story's own list, in named lists
(also across stories) and in cross-reference paragraph numbers.

* Set warichu as smaller lines inside the parent line.
Type › Warichu stacks the selected run after the line is broken, closes up the rest of the line, and round-trips the IDML warichu properties. The line break itself still sees the full-size run.
* Keep clicks, the caret, and Up/Down on each warichu row.
The glyphs were already stacked inside the parent line, but hit testing, the caret, and vertical movement still used that parent line. Break minimums, row widths, spacing, and tab leaders now follow the small lines, and underlines sit on the small baseline.

A break character is stored as the last character of the paragraph it
ends, followed by the usual '\n' separator. The story model, paragraph
ranges, styles, editing and every exporter keep splitting paragraphs on
'\n' only, so the change stays in the places that create, lay out or
write break characters:
- IDML import writes the break and ends the paragraph, so the range that
follows keeps its own paragraph style. NextOddPage and NextEvenPage map
to new odd and even page break characters; IDML export writes a
paragraph that ends in a break as that one Br with its
ParagraphBreakType, so export and re-import give the same story.
- Word and RTF import, Type > Insert Break Character (with odd and even
page breaks added) and typing end the paragraph after a break. Typing
between a break and its return goes to the next paragraph; deleting
either deletes both.
- Layout: a break that ends a paragraph leaves no empty line; the next
paragraph starts in the next column, frame or page, as a paragraph start
option would. Page breaks and Next Page start options move to the next
frame on a later page; odd and even ones to the next page with that
page number parity (no such frame: overset). A break inside a paragraph
from an older document still moves the rest of that paragraph on.
Storing the break as a paragraph separator of its own would have changed
every place that counts or splits paragraphs on '\n'.

* Text frames: column rules draw between columns on screen and in PDF
A frame with Column Rule on gets a bar centred in each gutter, inside the
insets, broken around paragraphs that span columns; right-to-left and
vertical frames included. object.textFrameOptions takes columnRuleWeight
and columnRuleColor (unknown swatches are an error) and an inset array
whose null sides stay; document.inspect reports the rule.
* Text Frame Options: Column Rules fields; OK changes only edited fields
The dialog shows the selected frame's options, with an inset field per
side, and sends only what the user changed, so unequal insets survive.
The rule weight is read in points.
* Column rules: tint, horizontal offset and top/bottom insets; IDML import and export
Text Frame Options gains Tint %, Top Inset, Bottom Inset and Horizontal
Offset for the rule, and object.textFrameOptions and document.inspect
take and report them. IDML reads the ColumnRule attributes of
TextFramePreference on frames and object styles and writes them when a
rule is set.
