SVG import comes in editable and looking right: groups named from their
ids with transforms baked into the layers (rotated, scaled and skewed
groups, viewBox scaling and <use> offsets used to be lost); rectangles,
ellipses and lines recognised and kept as those shapes; gradients with
exact handles, reflect/repeat and focal points; patterns as image fills;
clip paths and masks as vector, luminance and alpha masks; shadow and
blur filter chains as drop shadows, inner shadows and layer blurs; blend
modes; text as text layers (it used to vanish); images and nested SVG
images. What can't be represented is reported as import warnings
(file.import / file.open warnings, figcraft-cli info notes). Linked
files are never read, and documents nested too deep for the parser are
refused instead of crashing.
Pasted SVG is recognised after XML declarations, comments and doctypes
and lands centred in the view (file.import center). SVG export writes
vector masks as clip paths and alpha/luminance masks as the mask layer
drawn, so masks survive a round trip.
Tests: a corpus of 21 synthetic SVG files with hand-worked expected
pixels (158 probes), structure checks and export round trips; unit tests
for shape recognition, paints, filters, structure, mask export; hostile
input and byte-mangled corpus fuzzing; engine file command tests.

- Inner shadows paint over the fills and under the children and strokes, as documented (canvas,
PNG, PDF and SVG alike; text fills every run before the inner shadow and the strokes).
- Layer and background blur gain a progressive type: the radius ramps linearly from a start radius
at a start point to the end radius at an end point (unit-box points, like gradient handles).
Rendered by blending a few geometric blur levels, each blurred only around the pixels that use
it; bands and partial renders match one piece. Design panel type menu and Start/End fields,
on-canvas handles while the settings are open, effect.add/effect.set params, startRadius
variable bindings, scale tool, REST import (blurType, startRadius, startOffset, endOffset),
Inspect row; CSS leaves progressive blurs out.
- SVG export embeds renders for what filters can't match: noise grains over the vector layer
(crisp, blended), texture and progressive layer blur whole, background blur and glass from what
lies under the layer among the exported layers. PDF and SVG share the renderer's helpers.

- Background blur sees the whole backdrop under the layer: the renderer keeps the stack of
isolated surfaces it draws into (clipping frames, rounded clips, faded groups, masks) and
flattens it for the layer's area, reading past the layer's own box. A blur inside a clipping
frame now shows the frame's fill instead of the sharp layers below, on the canvas and in PNG
exports. The PDF export draws background blur and glass through the same code from a render of
what lies under the node (`backdrop::render_beneath`, which the PDF's backdrop now shares), and
its images match the PNG's pixels.
- Shadow spread offsets the outline: the shape filled and stroked twice the spread wide with
mitred joins (grow) or cut away (shrink), the stroked bands cached per outline. Ellipses stay
ellipses, stars keep sharp points, text keeps its letterforms, rounded corners grow their
radius. Inner shadows shrink the outline the same way. Canvas, PNG and PDF share the shadow
code; SVG writes spread shadows as the same geometry and now exports inner shadows.
- Glass effect (light angle and intensity, refraction, depth, dispersion, frost, splay): the
frosted backdrop bent towards the inside within `depth` of the edge, colour fringes, light on
the rim, from an exact distance transform with smoothed normals.
- Noise: mono, duo and multi colour modes, grain size, density, opacity and blend mode; grains
live in the layer's coordinates (stable when panning and zooming). Texture is now drawn
(pixels scattered by the radius, grain size, clip to shape).
- Design panel rows for noise mode/colours/opacity, texture clip to shape and every glass value;
`effect.add` takes `glass`; REST import of NOISE, TEXTURE and GLASS; Inspect rows and CSS;
the scale tool scales grain sizes, texture radius, glass depth and frost.
- Tests in new modules: render backdrop/spread/grain tests, PDF backdrop tests, SVG, doc,
engine and REST effect tests.
