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.

Vertical is a story property: every frame of a thread is vertical or
horizontal together, a frame threaded onto a story takes its direction,
and frames split off by threading or breaking a thread keep theirs.
Type > Story Direction is type.storyDirection {vertical} (checked in the
menu) for the stories of the text selection or selected frames;
object.textFrameOptions {vertical} and frame.create {vertical} set the
frames' stories. Documents that stored Vertical on the frame open with
each story taking its first frame's direction. IDML StoryOrientation is
read into and written from the story, beside its column direction
(StoryDirection), which stays a separate setting.
- doc: ANCHOR_MARK / XREF_MARK with Story::anchors / xrefs kept in sync on edits, 11 formats
(InDesign's building blocks + partial paragraph), paragraph anchors, typographic quotes
- compose: anchor pages via an XrefIndex (cached per document signature); cross-references are
resolved at composition, so they never go stale; '??' for missing destinations
- PDF: cross-references become link annotations to the destination page
- IDML: export/import as HyperlinkTextDestination / CrossReferenceSource / Hyperlink /
CrossReferenceFormat (+ XRef page variables); verified live in InDesign 2026
- engine: xref.insert/list/setFormat/defineFormat/formats, anchor.create/list (+ tests)
- UI: New Cross-Reference dialog (styles → paragraphs, format); menu pass adding TOC, sections,
text variables, hyperlinks, footnotes, step and repeat, spelling, fitting/content submenus,
effects, Data Merge, Preflight, EPUB; fixed-parameter menu variants; ui.menu.invoke opens
generated dialogs; every-menu-entry-is-a-command test

- doc: FOOTNOTE_REF marker + Story::notes (kept in sync on insert/delete/thread), FootnoteOptions,
NumberStyle::Symbols, footnote text addressed like cell text (CellAddr::footnote)
- compose: notes numbered (continuous / restart per page, spread, section), composed at column
width, body text makes room, stacked at the column bottom with the rule above
- render + PDF draw footnote text; IDML export/import in InDesign's structure (verified in
InDesign 2026), FootnoteOption preferences
- engine: footnote.insert/options/list/setText/delete/goToReference (+ tests)
- UI: caret/selection in footnote text, Footnote Options dialog, Type menu entries; menu items
labelled '…' with parameters open a dialog generated from the command's params doc
- sample magazine carries a footnote
