At 200 % in a 1600x1000 window, Previous / Next / Cancel / OK were cut
off. Settings sized its pages from the window height less a fixed 170,
and the shared modal put everything, buttons included, in one more
scroll area, so a footer that didn't fit scrolled out of the dialog.
The modal helper gets a modal_fit variant without that scroll area: it
hands its body the height left under the title. Settings lays out its
buttons first, from the bottom up, and gives the page list and the page
what they leave; both scroll on their own and the buttons stay put. The
pages are a clipped child, so a wide page can't widen the dialog under
the buttons. Other dialogs keep modal as it was.
Tests: settings_buttons_stay_in_view_at_200_percent opens Settings at
200 % in 1600x1000 and checks that each button is inside the window and
painted unclipped (fails before this change: the scroll area clipped
them at the bottom). It scrolls the page to UI Scale without moving
them, then types 150 and clicks Cancel (200 % again, nothing saved) and
OK (150 % saved). The UI Scale test no longer needs a larger window and
clicks Cancel at 200 %.
Problem: EffectCraft shipped only 8 original text-animator presets against
After Effects' 621; there was no Transitions category (ranked gap #7).
Fix: an original preset library, crates/engine/presets/transitions.json
(23 presets on our own Transition effects and layer opacity: fades,
directional and diagonal wipes, clock and fan reveals, blinds and slats,
pixel/mosaic dissolves, card flips, CC grid, radial scale, line sweep and
jaws wipes; In and Out). New commands anim.applyBuiltinPreset (adds the
effects with values and keyframes from the current time, one undo step,
reports any path that doesn't fit) and anim.builtinPresets. Effects &
Presets lists them under * Animation Presets > Transitions; double-click
applies. Sidecar and ATTRIBUTION.md entry; gaps/effects-parity updated.

Settings > Appearance > UI Scale offered only 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and
200 %, so a size between 75 and 100 wasn't possible. It is now the shared
numeric field (Kind::Int(75, 200, "%")): type or drag any whole
percentage. The engine already stored the scale as a clamped integer and
the UI applies it with set_zoom_factor, so the range, the default, live
preview, Cancel and saved preferences are unchanged; the preset list
goes.
Numeric settings now apply a typed number once it is entered (Enter or
leaving the field), not at every keystroke: typing 85 used to apply the
partial 8, clamped to 75, and resize the whole interface before the 5.
Dragging still applies as it moves.
Tests: the UI Scale test types 85 a key at a time (nothing applies and
the field keeps the keyboard until Enter), Cancel, 50 and 300 clamp to
75 and 200, 90 with OK, and a new app with the saved preferences starts
at 90 %. The GPU Information transaction test types 125.
Window > Workspace > Save as New Workspace and Save Changes to this
Workspace kept the layout only in memory (`UiState::saved_workspaces` /
`saved_floating`): nothing wrote them, so they were gone after a restart.
They are now written to `workspaces.json` in the settings store (the config
folder on desktop, OPFS on the web) when a workspace is saved, renamed or
deleted, and read back when the app starts; a file that doesn't read is
ignored.

A Scale property added to Essential Graphics fell into the generic Point
control: two independent fields with no link, so dragging one value
distorted the layer, unlike After Effects, whose Scale control keeps the
chain link. It now draws the link (on by default) with one field per
axis; linked, an edit scales the others in proportion (Alt edits one),
using the Timeline's constrained() (moved to widgets). The link state is
the property's own, shared with the Timeline's chain link.

Settings > Appearance > UI Scale (appearance.uiScale, 75-200 %, default 100)
scales the whole interface on top of the display's own scaling, live as it is
chosen; Cancel puts it back, OK saves it and a saved scale applies from the
first frame. The Settings dialog's choice rows show a number setting with
choices as its text. Automation id: settings.appearance.uiScale.
egui's own Ctrl+= / Ctrl+- / Ctrl+0 zoom is off now: Ctrl+0 (Window > Project)
also reset the zoom behind the app's back, and the scale is a setting.
Test: engine tests_settings ui_scale_is_a_percentage_from_75_to_200; ui_panels
ui_scale_setting_sizes_the_interface.

The label menus listed the labels' names only, so a label couldn't be
picked by its colour. Every place a label is chosen now shows its
colour swatch before its name, as After Effects does: the Timeline's
label swatch (which now opens its menu on a click too, not only a
right-click), the Project panel's label swatch and a new Label submenu
in its item menu, Edit > Label, keyframe Label menus and the marker
dialog. One shared widget (widgets::label_entry / label_popup) draws
them; keyframe labels now show the names set in Settings > Labels.
Tests: label_swatch_opens_the_label_menu (ui_project_rows),
the_label_swatch_menu_shows_the_label_colours (ui_timeline_switches),
edit_label_menu_shows_the_label_colours (ui_panels).

The Learn workspace opens the Home screen on its Learn tab, but no other workspace closed it, so
after Learn the tutorials stayed over Default, Review and the rest until a project was created or
Home was toggled. It wasn't about clicking quickly: any switch away from Learn kept them. Leaving
Learn for another workspace now closes the Home screen it opened.
Test: ui_panels leaving_the_learn_workspace_closes_its_tutorials (clicks through the workspace
tabs: the Home screen and the tutorials show only on Learn).

Save as New Workspace stored the layout and `window.workspace` could
switch to it, but the Workspace submenu was a fixed list of the
built-in workspaces, so a saved one never appeared and could not be
chosen from the menu.
The submenu now has a `savedWorkspaces` dynamic node after the
built-ins (DynCtx carries the saved names), in the in-window and native
menus, with a check mark on the current one as the built-ins have.
The in-window submenu was also too short to show it. egui lays out a
new submenu in a default 400 pt area, and the scroll area inside took
that height and kept it, so Window ▸ Workspace (514 pt) opened with its
last rows (Undocked Panels and below, where saved workspaces go)
scrolled out of view. Submenus now open at their full height and scroll
only when taller than the window.
Tests: saved_workspace_is_listed_in_the_workspace_menu (picks it from
the menu bar), saved_workspaces_are_in_the_native_workspace_menu.
