A frame holding items pasted into it isn't a group. Ungroup took it
apart like one, leaving its content loose and losing the clipping shape,
and the Properties panel called it "Group" with an Ungroup quick action.
As in InDesign, Ungroup now only takes real groups apart; other objects
stay as they are and stay selected (Ungroup used to clear them from the
selection). Such frames are labelled by their shape (<ellipse>, ...), so
Properties shows "Ellipse" with Convert Shape.

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.

Cycle checks walk based_on with a seen-set over all parents, so a cycle
longer than the drawing depth cap is still found. Snapping lists parent
items through shown_parent_pages instead of recursing, and offers base
items on a parent spread. A base parent's text on a parent spread is
composed for that spread, so page-number markers show its prefix.
Cmd+Shift-click hits what is drawn: it honours Show Parent Items, hidden
and locked layers, the facing-page filter and layer order. IDML import
warns when a parent spread's pages name different bases or their own
spread.
Pages draw the base parent's items, then the parent's, then their own,
on the canvas, in PDF and image export, and on the parent spread itself.
Chains are followed base first with a depth bound. Overrides, parent hit
testing and the flattener's transparency check include base items.
layout.parents.options {parent, basedOn} sets or clears the base and
refuses cycles; document.inspect reports basedOn per parent. Opening a
.designcraft or IDML file clears a cyclic or dangling base with a warning.
IDML already carried the base as the parent pages' AppliedMaster; a test
covers the round trip.

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).

Object > Effects (Transparency..., Drop Shadow... and the rest, and their
shortcuts) and the Effects panel's fx button open the Effects dialog on
the chosen effect, turned on: the effect list with checkboxes on the left
and a summary line, the chosen page's settings on the right in the
document's units (Blending, Position with X/Y offsets, Options...),
Preview on the page while it is open, Cancel putting the page back, and
OK as one undo step.

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).
With the Type tool, Option/Alt+Left/Right with a caret changes the manual kerning of the pair at the caret by the Kerning/Tracking increment (a new document preference, 20/1000 em by default, in Preferences > Units & Increments); with a selection it changes the tracking of the selected text. Cmd (Ctrl on Windows and Linux) multiplies the step by five. A pair without manual kerning starts from 0. The new type.kernStep command does the work, one undo step per press.
Moving by words is Cmd+Left/Right on macOS and Ctrl+Left/Right on Windows and Linux; Option/Alt+Shift+Left/Right still extends the selection by words. Fixes#621.
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

File > Place of a text file with `link: true`, or with the new
Preferences > File Handling > Create Links When Placing Text Files,
records on the story the file's path, size and hash, and the style map
and style-conflict option used. The Links panel and links.list show
these files OK / Modified / Missing like graphics. links.update imports
a modified file again into the same frames and thread with the saved
style map (Auto Rename's choices are kept, so no new _wrd_ styles). As
in InDesign, edits made in the layout are replaced: the Links panel and
Window > Links > Update Link ask first (Update / Cancel) when a linked
story was edited in the layout, while the links.update command updates
and returns a warning, as InDesign scripting does. links.relink,
links.goTo and links.embed (Unlink) take {story}. Saved in the native
format; IDML writes the text unlinked. Tracked changes import as
accepted, as before. Tests cover place-with-link, Modified/Missing
status, update with the saved style map keeping frames, the
local-edits warning, the confirmation dialog (confirm, cancel, no
dialog for unedited stories), relink, unlink, the preference, and a
native save/load round trip. Closes#597.

Review follow-up.
- OK ran layout.section and then layout.chapterNumbering: two undo steps,
and a chapter start the second command refused (over 99 999) left the
section applied. `layout.numberingOptions {page, …section, chapter}`
checks both parts before the document changes and applies them in one
edit; the window's OK runs it. layout.section and
layout.chapterNumbering share its parsing.
- Enter or Escape with a Style menu open confirmed or closed the whole
dialog. Dialogs now leave both keys to an open popup (read before the
dialog draws, since egui closes a popup on Escape that frame).
- A start page of 4294967295 overflowed page_number (a panic in debug
builds, page 0 in release). Page numbers saturate; layout.section
refuses start numbers outside 1-99 999 (MAX_PAGE_NUMBER, as chapter
numbers) and Document Setup clamps its start page instead of wrapping
a 64-bit number into 32 bits.
Also rebased on main: the restructured ROADMAP keeps main's text, and the
inventory in docs/target-app-parity.md lists chapter numbering and the
window.

A document's chapter number now has a style (1, I, i, A, a, 01, 001,
0001) and a source, as in Numbering & Section Options > Document
Chapter Numbering: Automatic Chapter Numbering (one more than the
previous document in the book; 1 first), Start Chapter Numbering at,
or Same as Previous Document in the Book.
`layout.chapterNumbering {style?, start?, source?}` sets them (undoable)
and, with no parameters, reports them with the open book that holds the
document. The book's Update Numbering (`book.paginate`) resolves chapter
numbers in book order and reports them. Chapter Number variables and
cross-reference chapter numbers use the style.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.

#384's contour wrap followed the frame's path for Same As Clipping, which was all a graphic could clip to; #450 gives graphics clipping paths. contour_path takes the clip region (Graphic::clip_region) when the graphic has one. Test: a triangle clip widening downwards, Same As Clipping, left side: lines beside the narrow top run further in than those at the base.
#450 adds Graphic.clip; next added Graphic.wrap and Asset.pdf_box/pdf_crop. #450's tests in doc and render lack next's fields and next's tools test lacks clip; the tests didn't compile.
Conflict: ROADMAP.md: both progress lines
Conflict: docs/gaps.md: next's header, clipping paths added to its change list
Conflict: docs/target-app-parity.md: next's header, clipping paths added to its change list

A placed graphic keeps its clipping path (Detect Edges, Alpha Channel,
Photoshop Path or User-Modified Path) in graphic space, with the
options IDML carries. IDML import reads ClippingPathSettings and its
saved ClippingPathGeometry (anchors capped, non-finite subpaths
dropped); export writes them back. The canvas and PDF export clip the
image to the path inside the frame clip; an inverted path shows the
image outside it. Without saved geometry nothing changes.
object.clippingPathOptions reports a graphic's clipping path, inverts
it or removes it (Object > Clipping Path > None).
Fixes#450.
#84's Add to Swatches renamed the colour in footnotes and endnotes through its own helpers; next's Document::rename_swatch_refs (#416), which add_to_swatches calls after the merge, covered footnotes but not endnotes. rename_swatch_refs now walks each story's endnotes too, and #84's test checks an endnote.
