Wiggle Paths had Size, Detail, Points, Wiggles/Second, Correlation,
Temporal Phase and Random Seed, but no Spatial Phase, which After
Effects lists among its properties (ADBE Vector Spatial Phase). Spatial
Phase now moves each point's own displacement along its subpath: 360
degrees is once around, and a fraction of a point is interpolated
between neighbors. At 0 degrees a path draws as before.
A project saved without the property gets it at 0 degrees, after
Temporal Phase, when it opens. Scripts can read and set every Wiggle
Paths property by its match name.
A shape layer's Contents > Add menu had every After Effects path operation
except Wiggle Transform. It is now a shape item (layer.addShapeItem kind
wiggler, "ADBE Vector Filter - Wiggler" for scripts) with Wiggles/Second,
Correlation, Temporal Phase, Spatial Phase, Random Seed and a Transform
group whose Anchor Point, Position, Scale and Rotation set how far each
transformation wiggles.
The values come from the Wiggly selector's noise, with each Repeater copy
as one unit: the copies of a Repeater above the operation, in its group or
a nested one, wiggle independently as far as Correlation allows, and the
copies of a Repeater below it wiggle the same way. A paint above it whose
paths all move by one matrix moves its gradient and stroke scale with them.
The layer cache keys a layer with a Wiggle Transform by time.
Dashes reported its children as `dash`, `gap`, `offset`, so
`property("ADBE Vector Stroke Dash 1")` was null and addProperty threw.
They now report ADBE Vector Stroke Dash 1-3 / Gap 1-3 / Offset.
addProperty with one of those names returns the existing property
(EffectCraft's Dashes always holds Dash 1, Gap 1 and Offset) or adds the
Dash/Gap 2 or 3 pair through shape.dashes.add. Lookups by the old ids
still work.

Fill's ADBE Fill-0002 is Color (documented numbering); essential.* controls by name with
a listing error; an explicit comp param satisfies a command's active-comp enablement.

Shapes (SHP-2): Stroke Taper (pixels/percent start/end length, width, ease) and
Wave (amount, pixels/cycles, wavelength, phase) rendered as a variable-width
outline; Dash 2/Gap 2/Dash 3/Gap 3 (shape.dashes.add/remove, timeline +/-
buttons); radial gradient Highlight Length/Angle as a focal gradient.
Masks (MSK-1): mask feather points on the Mask Path (mask.featherPoint.*,
Mask Feather tool add/drag), per-point signed radius and tension, rendered
from the signed distance to the path; carried through vertex edits.
Motion blur (LYR-10): Adaptive Sample Limit comp setting; 2D layers take one
sample per pixel of shutter travel between Samples Per Frame and the limit.
