Found while testing crates/engine/src/cmd/arrange.rs:~495 (scale_node, the Text branch). Compare crates/layout/src/lib.rs:136, which calls TextPath::scale on resize.

The bindings that move with the path's fills and effects are now found with list_binding, which reads `fills` as the first fill's color, as style_sets in cmd/styles.rs does.
A path linked to an effect style with no effects gave the text an empty effect list and the style link. The text now takes the path's effects only when there are any.
text.onPath, and the Design panel's Put text on path button that runs
it, kept the text layer's own fill and effects when the text went onto
a path. The help center's Guide to text says that the vector object's
fill and effects are transferred to the text layer.
The text now takes the path layer's fills, with their fill style and
variable bindings, when one of them shows, and the path layer's effects,
with their effect style and bindings, when it has any. The text's own
bindings on those fields are dropped. When the path has no visible fill
or no effects, the text keeps its own.
Text went onto a path only with the Design panel's Put text on path
button (a text layer and a path selected together) or with text.onPath.
The Text on a path tool, in the Text flyout of the toolbar
(tool.textOnPath), shows the I-beam over a shape's or vector's path, and
a click there puts new, empty text on the path, starting at the click,
and starts typing. The text takes the path layer's place, transform,
box, constraints and effects, and its fills when one of them shows; the
path layer is removed. Ending the edit with nothing typed puts the path
back with no undo step.
The tool measures the distance on the page, so a layer scaled more one
way than the other, or shown smaller, is reached where it shows. Shapes
in front whose outline is away from the click do not hide a path behind
them, and paths that a mask or a clipping frame hides at the click are
skipped, as are locked layers and layers inside instances.
A double-click into a text layer that was just made no longer makes it
count as an existing layer, so leaving it empty records no undo step,
with this tool and with the Text tool.
The tail of the text area, from the public documentation of the target app's text settings, with a table-driven behaviour suite (each case derived in one line; "silent" cases pin today's behaviour).
- **Lists per paragraph** (`TextData::paragraphs`, one `ParaList {list, indent}` per paragraph; empty when the layer has one list style at level 0, so old files load and save unchanged). The list buttons, Shift+Cmd+8 / Shift+Cmd+7, `text.listStyle` and Type settings act on the paragraphs the selection touches while editing (the whole layer otherwise). The per-paragraph list follows edits: a new paragraph copies the one it split from, joined paragraphs keep the first one's.
- **Nesting** up to 8 levels: Tab nests a list item, Shift+Tab moves it out; Enter on an empty item and Backspace at an item's start move it a level out, then out of the list. Typing `- `, `* ` or `1. ` at the start of a plain paragraph starts a list. Numbers count per level (1. a. i., then round again), bullets go • ◦ ▪; a plain paragraph, a shallower item or the other list kind starts the count again. Each level indents by one marker gutter; a nested bullet a font lacks comes from a fallback font.
- **List spacing** (space between two items of a list, in place of paragraph spacing), **hanging lists** (the outer gutter outside the box, item text lined up with plain paragraphs) and **hanging punctuation** (opening quotes and brackets outside the start edge of left-aligned and justified lines, closing punctuation outside the end edge of right-aligned and justified ones; hung punctuation takes no room when lines wrap).
- **Decoration look** per character (`TextStyle::decoration_look`, boxed, None by default): style (solid, dotted, wavy), thickness and underline offset (auto, px or % of the font size), skip ink (underlines break around descenders) and colour (its own style index in the layout, so canvas, PNG and PDF paint it without renderer changes). Decorations are drawn from `Decoration::path()` (bar, dots or wave) on the canvas, in PNG, PDF and outlined SVG.
- `node.set` keys: `listStyle` and `indentation` (range-aware with start/end), `listSpacing`, `hangingPunctuation`, `hangingList`, `textDecorationStyle`, `textDecorationThickness`, `textDecorationOffset`, `textDecorationSkipInk`, `textDecorationColor`; documented in `KEYS` and docs/mcp.md. `text.edit.key` documents Tab.
- Inspect: `listStyle`, or `lineTypes` and `lineIndentations` per paragraph; `listSpacing`, `hangingPunctuation`, `hangingList`, the decoration keys. CSS: `text-decoration-style`, `-thickness`, `-color`, `text-underline-offset`, `text-decoration-skip-ink: none` (browsers skip ink by default). Dev Mode rows: decoration style, list spacing.
- REST import: `lineTypes` with `lineIndentations` per paragraph (they collapsed to one list style for the layer before), `listSpacing`, `hangingPunctuation`, `hangingList`, the decoration style, thickness, offset, skip ink and colour; instance override names for them.
- Type settings ▸ Basics: decoration style, thickness and offset fields (with Auto), Skip ink, decoration colour; List spacing; Hanging punctuation and Hanging list checkboxes; the list control acts on the edited paragraphs. New strings in en/es.
- Components carry the new text fields in the characters and text-style override groups; scaling scales list spacing and px decoration lengths.
- `TextData::path` is boxed (`Option<Box<TextPath>>`) to keep `NodeKind` under clippy's enum size limit after the new fields.
Text layers can follow a path (start offset, flip, alignment; edited in place; canvas, PNG, SVG, PDF; SVG textPath imports as real text on a path). A new pattern paint tiles a source layer in grid or hex rows with scale, spacing and alignment, live as the source changes (SVG pattern, PDF vector tiling pattern).
