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.

Review fix from aiongg (72d7ea2e, with the line tests of 6db40bdb), ported
to this branch: Fill::linear_axis gives screen and PDF one gradient axis,
and a box with no extent along the gradient's angle takes its longer side.

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.

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" (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.

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.

The Links panel lists links about twice a second, and each listing
hashed every linked text file. A linked text file now also remembers
its modification time (as Data Merge does for its source, through the
same size-and-time fingerprint): while size and time match, it isn't
read. A different size is Modified without reading. When only the time
changed, the content hash still decides (a file saved or synced again
without changes stays OK), and the session remembers that check by
size and time, so the next poll doesn't read the file again. Update and
Relink record the size and time from before their read. Test: polls of
an unchanged file don't read it (it is made unreadable), a touched but
unchanged file is read once and stays OK, a changed file is Modified.

- describe style.paragraph.create (and .edit, style.character.create,
.edit) gave chars?: {…} and para?: {…}. The descriptions now say they
take type.char's and type.para's attributes and name the common ones.
- A wrong attribute gave "invalid parameters for `style`: unknown
attribute `font`". The error now names the command and the group,
and the attribute meant (nearest name, or one the key starts or ends)
or else lists them all: "invalid parameters for
`style.paragraph.create`: chars: unknown attribute `font`; did you
mean `fontFamily`?". The suggestion comes from set_json, so
type.char, type.para and find.change get it too.
- chars or para that isn't an object is an error instead of ignored.
Fixes#777
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.
