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.

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" (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.

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.

Adds a Polish catalog (i18n/pl.rs, 1,698 strings), registers Polski in
Edit › Interface Language, uses category-first count captions for Polish
(as for Ukrainian) and adds catalog and language-switch tests.

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.
