Sketch draws an artboard's layout and square grids only while its layout
view is on; they now import hidden (still there, shown with the eye in
the Layout grid section).

Alpha masks only mask (no drawn copy of their fill); a progressive
opacity (Fade) becomes an alpha mask of its gradient over the layer;
linear gradients run square in pixels as Sketch draws them.

The font database knows each face's PostScript name; the Sketch import
finds the installed face a file's font names (CourierNewPSMT is Courier
New Regular) and reads the family from the name only when it isn't
installed. Text without a fixed line height takes the line Sketch draws:
ascent and descent rounded to whole pixels, the line gap left out, a
fifth more for classic Mac fonts, the baseline where Sketch puts it
(measured on sketchtool renders of 80 fonts).

Sketch keys a font's variation axes by the tag read as a number; they map
onto the text style's variations (a fontVariations key in the REST
mapping). Font references without font data only name the fonts a
document uses and no longer raise the embedded-font note.

Groups as frames and graphics, stacks as auto layout (instances laid out
by their stack), corners and per-side borders from the style, pins and
sizing, tints (layeringType, fillColor overrides), text colour and
visibility overrides, blur lists (progressive, glass), inner shadows in
the shadow list, angular gradients starting on the right, text sizing,
and texts an override changed measured again on open.

Compared with Sketch's renders of a Sketch 64 file. Resized instances lay
out their layers the way Sketch does (measured: pins share the change in
proportion, a fixed size keeps its centre's share, and files before format
110 just scale); masters' backgrounds show in instances only when Sketch
includes them; swaps to a missing symbol keep the original; artboards
don't draw a style they carry. Apple's system fonts are found under the
names designs use (SF Pro, SF UI Text and Display, SF Compact), the
optical size follows the text size for named styles too, and imported
text keeps the platform's trak tracking as letter spacing.

Compared artboard by artboard with Sketch's renders of a real Sketch 50
file (sketchtool, black-box). Shape groups whose children have no
operation are one compound path filled by the group's winding rule (read
from the layer), not a union: rings, map streets and icons keep their
holes. Filled open paths close, as Sketch fills them. Flips apply after
rotation. Text with a fixed line height sits where Sketch's line spacing
behaviour puts it. Edited ovals and rectangles keep their points. Bitmap
colour adjustments become image filters. scale 0 means unscaled. A local
test compares sample files with sketchtool's renders.

FIGCRAFT_SKETCH_SAMPLES runs every .sketch file of a folder through
file.open (opens with linked instances and finite geometry, or is
refused as too old). File format parity gains a .sketch row; CLI, MCP,
roadmap and ROADMAP mention the import.

Duplicate and Alt-drag copied a main component as a second main. Within
its file the copy is now an instance of it (components::copy_in_file,
shared by edit.duplicate and the Alt-drag copy), as Copy then Paste
already was. A variant duplicated in its set stays a new variant.
Layer data written with node.set {props: {pluginData}} was saved but no
command read it back. node.get (the command, the control method and MCP
get_node) and document.inspect now report pluginData as {key: value}
when a layer or page has any, so a tool keeping state in a file can
read it on its next run. Widget keys are included: the plugin rules
only stop plugins writing them, and widget.list already reports that
state.
Alt+arrows were left out of the nudge keys, so with Alt held to measure
the arrows did nothing and the distances never changed. The arrows now
nudge with Alt held too (Shift: the big step); the hover measurement is
recomputed every frame, so the labels follow each nudge. While measuring
to another layer the selection's handles and size label hide; both
layers keep their outlines.
The dim text token (disabled buttons, placeholders, hints) was 2.1:1 on
the light theme's panels; disabled buttons also faded to 40% opacity,
and selected text was drawn in the dark green, 1.4:1 on the dark
theme's selection highlight. The dim text token is now at least 3:1
against panels, fields and selected rows in both themes while staying
dimmer than secondary text, a disabled button is grey with that text,
and selected text takes the theme's readable green. A test checks the
ratios with the colour contrast helper.
The browser has no system fonts, and since releases moved to the shared
workflow the web build was made without craft-fonts: no font list and no
text drawn. The Georgian change also re-pinned craft-fonts to its main,
which has no fonts/latin-manifest.txt, so the next release would fail
under CRAFT_FONTS_REQUIRED. Pin the Latin commit again until one commit
has both (craft-fonts#42); desktop Georgian uses an installed font.
