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

As in InDesign, the Pen over an end point of an open path (selected, or
under the pointer) shows a continue cursor; clicking it carries on drawing
that path, new anchors going on its subpath, and clicking its other end
closes it. Dragging from the end point first reshapes its direction
lines. From the first anchor the subpath is reversed first.
- engine: path.reverse (Object > Paths > Reverse Path), path.setAnchor;
path.appendAnchor and path.close take a subpath, and appendAnchor
refuses a closed subpath
- tools: Cursor::PenContinue

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.

The Eyedropper on a placed image now does what InDesign does: with text
selected, clicking the photo colours the text with the image's colour under
the pointer; with objects selected, it fills them. The colour is an unnamed
colour (reused when the same colour is sampled again). Images on locked
layers can be sampled, and unfilled frames over the image let it show through.
- color.sample {at, spread?, target?: fill|stroke, ids?} samples the frontmost
visible raster image at a spread point; one undo step; a caret or a point
with no image is refused without an edit.
- object.color shares its swatch lookup with it.
- The Eyedropper tool sends color.sample over an image, matchAttributes
elsewhere as before.

- view.snapPreferences {alignEdges, alignCenters, smartDimensions,
smartSpacing, zone} sets the smart guide options; the Preferences
dialog goes through it, so the control channel and MCP reach them.
- Smart guide, gap and measurement colours come from theme::Tokens.
- Remove the unused closest-target helper (snap_rect and friends).
- Drop the agent planning docs (docs/superpowers) and the .worktrees
ignore line; ROADMAP entry for smart guides and snapping.

Shift plus Alt restores the aspect from the original center after the size snaps. A line keeps the runner delta on both axes. Dimension guides are redrawn on the committed side. Grouped own size decomposes the absolute transform once.
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.
