The Header & Footer tab now has the Scale with Document and Align with
Page Margins check boxes, and pageLayout.headerFooter takes
scaleWithDoc and alignWithMargins. XLSX already kept both settings,
but nothing else read them.
With Scale with Document on, header and footer text prints at the
sheet's print scale. With it off, the text keeps its point size. With
Align with Page Margins on, the left and right sections line up with
the page's side margins. With it off, they start 0.7 inch from the
paper's edges, or a quarter of the page width on paper narrower than
2.8 inches. The Page Layout view draws headers and footers and takes
clicks on them the same way. Both settings are on by default, so a
sheet printed at a scale other than 100% now prints its header and
footer text at that scale.
The status bar always showed Average, Count and Sum for a selection of
several cells and had no menu. A right-click on it now opens a menu with
Average, Count, Numerical Count, Minimum, Maximum and Sum, as in Excel.
Average, Count and Sum are on by default; the other three are off.
The text on the status bar can no longer be selected, so a right-click
on the mode text or a statistic opens the menu as well. The zoom and
view controls handle their own clicks as before.
The choice is a preference set with the new view.statusBar command and
kept in prefs.json. A prefs.json without it keeps the defaults.
A sheet can hide its outline's level buttons and brackets while keeping
the outline (Excel's Ctrl+8, saved as showOutlineSymbols="0"). It wasn't
modelled, so such sheets showed a wide outline band Excel doesn't.
- model: Sheet::show_outline_symbols (default on, also for older JSON).
- xlsx: read and written on the sheet view.
- engine: view.showOutlineSymbols {on?} (Ctrl+8), undoable.
- ui: no outline bands while it's off.

Conflicts:
- docs/file-format-parity.md: header and the three .xlsx rows keep main's text plus the show-objects entry; both log rows kept
- docs/ui-parity.md: header keeps main's text plus Ctrl+6; both log rows kept
Japanese Excel's B4/B5/B6 are the JIS sizes (257×364, 182×257 and 128×182 mm),
but Page Setup's `b4`/`b5` were the ISO ones (250×353, 176×250): a Japanese B5
worksheet printed 8 mm narrow. `known_paper` now reads `B4`/`B5`/`B6` as JIS and
keeps the ISO sizes reachable as `B4 (ISO)`/`B5 (ISO)`/`B6 (ISO)`. This also
fixes the XLSX round-trip, whose `paperSize` ids 12/13 are the JIS sizes.
Adds the Japanese papers Page Setup lacked: Japanese Postcard (はがき,
100×148 mm), Japanese Double Postcard (往復はがき, 148×200 mm), Japanese
Envelope #3/#4 (長形3号/4号, 120×235 and 90×225 mm), Japanese Envelope Kaku
#2/#3 (角形2号/3号, 240×332 and 216×277 mm), A6, and aliases such as
`postcard`, `chou #3`, `kaku #2`; the xlsx paper table gains ids 42 (ISO B4) and
43/69–74/88 so these names survive save and reopen (the ISO B5/B6 names have no
ECMA-376 paper id and stay engine-side).
The pageSetup/pageLayout.size parameter docs list the names, the Page Layout
Size menu lists them, and tests pin the point sizes, the PDF MediaBox for A4
(unchanged), B5, postcard, double postcard and kaku #2, landscape and
fit-to-page, the unknown-name Letter fallback, and the XLSX round-trip.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md print row + revision history, and ROADMAP.md
progress log, dated 2026-10-21.
print_titles read both rows and cols as Options and assigned both
unconditionally, so {"rows":"2:2"} set title_cols = None and
{"cols":"A:A"} set title_rows = None: the repeated rows or columns
disappeared from every printed page with no message, and there was no
way to set or clear just one axis. The sibling pageLayout.pageSetup
already distinguishes "key absent" from "key present but empty"; read
both axes the same way — absent leaves the axis alone, empty/null clears
it, anything else that is not a range is an error rather than a silent
wipe.
Regression test: print_titles_keeps_the_axis_it_is_not_given — on main
the rows-only call clears the columns; with the fix each axis is touched
only when named, an explicit empty value still clears, and a bad range
errors.
view.freezePanes, home.rowHeight, home.columnWidth, the AutoFit, Hide and
Unhide row/column commands and home.defaultWidth always changed the active
sheet: a `sheet` parameter was silently ignored, so a programmatic caller
laying out a sheet that isn't active changed the wrong one, and `Sheet!`
prefixes on `rows`/`cols` were refused as "not a range".
They now take `sheet` (name or index) like the commands that already use
target_sheet, accept a `Sheet!` prefix on `rows`/`cols` (and on Freeze
Panes' `cell`, which was refused), and refuse a prefix that contradicts
`sheet`. The selection belongs to the active sheet, so another sheet needs
explicit lines or a cell. Freeze Top Row, Freeze First Column and Unfreeze
Panes take `sheet` too. Without `sheet`, nothing changes.

XLSX headerFooter kept only oddHeader/oddFooter: a workbook whose header is on a
different first page (differentFirst + firstHeader) or on even pages showed no
header, and saving dropped it. The model now keeps the first/even headers and
footers and the differentFirst / differentOddEven / scaleWithDoc / alignWithMargins
flags; XLSX reads and writes them; the PDF and the Page Layout view use the right
pair per page; in-place editing edits the page's own pair, and the Header & Footer
tab has Different First Page and Different Odd & Even Pages. pageLayout.headerFooter
takes the variants and a page: odd|even|first for one-section edits.
Insert › Header & Footer now switches to Page Layout view and edits the first
page's centre header, as in Excel, instead of opening the codes dialog.

View › Page Layout (and the status-bar button) now shows the sheet as printed
pages on a desk instead of overlaying page outlines on the grid.
- Model/XLSX: per-sheet view mode (normal / pageLayout / pageBreakPreview),
saved as <sheetView view="…"> and read back. view.* commands set it per
sheet ({sheet?}) without an undo step or dirtying a clean workbook.
- Engine: paper::PageGrid paginates the sheet from A1 with the print
pagination (print::split_bands, shared with PDF export and printing) and
maps cells to pages and back; header/footer section helpers
(split/join, &[Page] field names) shared with the PDF header code.
pageLayout.headerFooter takes {part, section, text} for one section and a
sheet; header/footer strings are capped at 255 characters.
view.ruler toggles the rulers.
- UI: Geo carries the page grid, so painting, hit-testing, selection,
editing, objects and scrolling work through the page transform; frozen
panes are ignored in this view. Pages with margins and gaps, "Click to add
data" pages, rulers in inches (English) or centimetres, headers/footers
drawn on printed pages, click a margin section to edit it in place; a
click elsewhere commits (one undo step), Escape cancels. Header & Footer
contextual tab: presets, Page Number, Number of Pages, Current Date/Time,
File Path, File Name, Sheet Name, Go to Header/Footer. View › Ruler.
- New strings in every catalog; new code-drawn icons; desk colour token.

- view.zoom100 sets the active sheet's zoom to 100% (the ribbon's 100%
button runs it).
- view.formulaBar {on?} toggles a formulaBar preference (Prefs, saved in
prefs.json on desktop; an application option, not in the file). The UI
shows the formula bar from it; the ribbon checkbox, native menu and
ui.set {formulaBar} go through the command.
- The UI-only interceptions and their entries in engine.commands are gone,
so the CLI and MCP can run both. Parity checklist regenerated (260 / 290).

cell_param returned None for any cell argument it could not parse, so every
command that falls back to the selection (cell.set, view.freezePanes,
formulas.trace*, insert.* and others) silently used the active cell instead:
set_cell with cell "ZZZZ0" wrote A1 and reported success. It also dropped a
sheet prefix, so "Other!B2" was applied to the active sheet.
cell_param now returns Result<Option<CellRef>>. An absent or null value is still
None, so the selection fallback is unchanged; an unparsable or non-string value
is an error; a sheet prefix naming a sheet other than the one the command works
on is an error.
cell_param_on is for the commands that resolve their own sheet (cell.get, links,
comments, notes, checkboxes, chart placement, paste): they accept a prefix naming
that sheet. cell.set resolves its own target sheet and still writes to another
existing sheet.
- ui-egui: title bar with QAT, full ribbon (Home/Insert/Draw/Page Layout/Formulas/Data/
Review/View/Automate + Table/Chart Design), formula bar with Name Box, virtualised grid
(frozen panes, overflow, borders, CF data bars/scales/icons, tables, sparklines, filter
buttons, charts/pictures/shapes), in-cell editor with point mode, reference colouring,
autocomplete and argument hints, sheet tabs, status bar, dialogs, control channel
- apps/sheetcraft: desktop app (control server, file dialogs, prefs, drag & drop)
- chart: toolkit-free chart layout/rendering for 25 chart kinds + sparklines + rasteriser
- mcp + sheetcraft-cli: MCP server (headless or bridged) and CLI (info/convert/eval/cat/run/mcp)
- xtask (ci/layers/assets/wasm/version/parity), release workflows, packaging, placeholder icon
- automatic row heights
