A file or library saved before "modes" was an override group has a mode
chosen on a layer inside an instance without its marker, so the next
rebuild or library import still put the main's mode back.
Copies follow their main layer's modes when the main changes them, so a
layer inside an instance on other modes chose them itself.
mark_layer_modes marks those when a file opens and when a published
library is read from a file or a server. Layers on their main's modes
and top-level instances stay unmarked.
A variable mode chosen on a layer inside an instance (the icon inside a
Close button, recoloured through an icon colour collection) wasn't an
override group. A full rebuild of the instance starts each layer over
from its main and carries only override groups, so the mode fell back
to the main's. Library import always rebuilds, as do main edits such as
a new auto layout direction, so a modal's recoloured close icon came
into other files in its default colour.
"modes" is now an override group: setting a mode inside an instance
records it, rebuilds carry it, rebasing a nested instance finds it, the
component panel lists it, and resetting it brings back the main's mode.
A top-level instance's own modes stay its own and record no override,
like its resizing.
Publishing a library now includes the file's variable collections (modes,
aliases, scopes), versioned per variable and collection; variables hidden
from publishing stay out unless a published variable aliases them or a
published component binds them. Files using the library see its
collections read-only in the Variables editor and the variable pickers;
binding, aliasing or setting a collection's mode copies the variables in
as read-only linked copies, library components keep their bindings, and
"Library updates available" covers changed variables (bound layers follow).
New commands: library.importVariable, library.bindVariable,
library.aliasVariable, library.setVariableMode; variable.update takes
hiddenFromPublishing.
