M3: component properties keep their order on rename; Make slot asks for the name (#1536, #1537) (#1565)

Properties were listed by name, so a rename moved one. Components now keep prop_order (the names as they were made; a rename keeps the place) and every listing follows it. Make slot opens a name field under the frame's Slot row; Enter makes the slot, Escape cancels, a taken name keeps the field open.

+| 2026-10-30 | minor | M3, #1536 and #1537: component properties are listed in the order they were made in, and renaming one keeps its place (they were sorted by name, so a rename moved the property); that holds for every kind, on every variant of a set and on instances, in `component.properties`, the Design panel and `.fig` export. Files from before keep their properties by name until one is added or renamed. Make slot (the Slot menu of a frame inside a component) asks for the slot's name first: a field under the Slot row with the frame's name selected, Enter or Make slot to make it, Escape to cancel; a name taken keeps the field open. Renaming stays in the component's Properties list. Tests: `engine/src/prop_order_tests.rs`, `ui-egui/src/make_slot_naming_tests.rs`. Left: dragging the shared properties to reorder them, and renaming a slot with only its frame selected. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-29 | minor | M3, #1338: the instance-swap property's menu (on an instance, its main component's default and the component playground) and the instance's swap menu open with a search field at the top that has the keyboard; typing filters the components by name (any case, headings without matches drop out), an empty result reads "No matching components", Up and Down step through the matches and Enter picks one (the first without a step), Escape clears the search and then closes the menu. Only the list scrolls; the menu grows back when the search is cleared. Tests: `component_swap_search_tests`. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-26 | minor | An instance-swap property's default menu scrolls (#1338): on the main component's Properties row the menu listed every component in the file at full height, so in a file with many (an icon library) the bottom ones ran off the screen and couldn't be picked. It now scrolls past 320 pt like the instance's swap menu, is at least 200 pt wide, ticks the current default and is named for assistive technology (`component_swap_default_tests`). Left: searching these menus. Numbers unchanged. |
 | 2026-10-24 | minor | Variables on a text style's fields from the style editor: the font and font style menus start with Apply variable (string variables), and the size, line height and letter spacing fields show a variable button on hover (number variables). A bound field shows its variable in place of the value; a click on it picks another variable and its detach button unbinds it (`style_picker_tests`). Left: the other effect and grid fields (commands only), library variables in the picker. Numbers unchanged. |
