While a text layer was being edited, Edit > Deselect All and its shortcuts
selected every character (or did nothing) instead of ending the edit and
deselecting the layer.
- deselect_all now commits the open edit first, through the same route as
text.endEdit: a created-but-empty type-tool layer is discarded, anything
typed is kept, and no extra undo step is introduced.
- While the in-canvas editor holds the keyboard, the editor forwards the
command's currently assigned shortcut (and any function-key chord) so
Deselect All reaches the command from the comp; bare-letter bindings stay
typing, and Select All still selects characters.
- The Project-panel focus redirects (invocation and menu enabled-ness) stand
down while a text edit is open, so the menu and shortcut end the edit even
when focus stayed on Project after Layer > New > Text.
Tests: three engine cases (commit + discard semantics), six UI kittest cases
(chords, F2, rebinding, menu enabled-ness, Project focus), RED at base.
Problem: After Effects 26.3's font menu can show only variable fonts.
EffectCraft's font menus (Character panel, Properties ▸ Text) had no such
filter, and text.fonts / MCP list_fonts didn't say which families are
variable.
Fix: the font scan marks a face variable when its table directory has an
fvar table declaring axes (header read only, no extra file loading). The
font menu gets a "Variable fonts only" checkbox above the results; it
combines with the typed search, keeps the keyboard in the search field and
stays set while the app runs. text.fonts reports `variable` per family and
takes `{variable: true}`; list_fonts passes it through. Catalog rows for
ja, zh-Hans, zh-Hant and uk.

A Windows user reported that the Properties panel's font menu offered only the bundled Inter,
JetBrains Mono and Noto Serif. The system font folders were scanned only when a project asked for
a family the bundled fonts lack, so until then every font menu (Properties, Character, Essential
Graphics) and `file.findMissing {what: fonts}` saw the bundled families alone, on every
platform. Listing the families now scans the system fonts first, and the desktop app starts that
scan on a background thread at launch so the menus are complete when first opened.
The style menus in the Properties and Character panels list the chosen family's own styles
instead of a fixed Regular / Medium / SemiBold / Bold / Italic. Both menus build their lists only
while open.
New query for agents: `text.fonts {query?, rescan?}` (MCP tool `list_fonts`) lists every family
with its styles, origin (bundled / system / user) and own-language name; `rescan` picks up fonts
installed since launch.
Tests: a fresh-process test that the family list includes every family in the platform's font
folders without a prior scan (failed before), and `text.fonts` filtering, rescan and per-family
styles, and the `list_fonts` MCP tool.

Removes the engine's production expect() calls: background-job polling (camera, mask, roto,
point and warp tracking, render queue) uses let-else / if-let instead of take().expect("job"),
command helpers bind what they checked instead of re-reading it with expect, the menu bar falls
back to an empty tree (logged) instead of expect()ing that a constant parses, and
autotrace/text animator group lookups no longer expect a just-inserted group. perf.rs, the
benchmark harness behind `effectcraft-cli bench --ops`, opts out with a module-level allow.
Test-only unreachable!() calls become panic!() (clippy.toml allows panics in tests). Denies the
panic lints in the crate.
