A structural edit that deleted the data an xl() reference names rewrote the
reference to #REF! but kept the cell's cached result, so the cell went on
showing a result for data that is gone. rewrite_python_refs now makes such a
cell new code (#BLOCKED!, no kept result), and the recalculation removes its
spill. A rename or a move, after which the reference names the same data,
still keeps the result.
When the reader's range-scan budget ran out part way through a Python spill,
the rest of its cells were read as plain cells, and the result rebuilt on open
was then blocked by them (#SPILL!). On such a sheet every Python spill now
keeps its values as plain values, with no live spill.
Tests: deleting_the_data_python_code_reads_drops_its_kept_result and
python_spills_read_past_the_scan_budget_keep_their_values_as_plain_values;
both fail without the fix.
A Python cell's spill range was recorded only when the file held a record for
one of its other cells, so a result whose other cells are blank, which a file
may leave out, opened with no spill and no rebuilt result. The range is now
recorded when the anchor is read, if a result can fill it.
A Python range larger than a result may be (more than 1,000,000 cells, but
within what the reader tracks) emptied the cells it covered, although it is
no spill and file-format-parity.md says such cells keep the values the file
shows. They are now kept as plain values; a formula's spilled values are still
dropped, since recalculation fills them again.
Tests: a_python_spill_whose_blank_cells_have_no_records_is_still_a_spill and
a_python_spill_range_larger_than_a_result_keeps_its_values_as_plain_values;
both fail without the fix.
A sheet more than one page wide and tall always printed down, then
over. PrintSettings gains the page order (serde default Down, then
over), pageLayout.pageSetup takes pageOrder, and the pagination numbers
the pages in it, so printing, PDF export, the print preview, Page Break
Preview, Page Layout view and the &P/&N, first-page and odd/even
headers follow the printed sequence. XLSX reads <pageSetup pageOrder>
and writes pageOrder="overThenDown" only, as Excel does.
The Page Setup dialog gets a Page order choice with a small picture of
the order and runs pageLayout.pageSetup, so the order and the margins
are one undo step; the labels are translated where the dialog is, and
the dialog is now in German too.

A PY formula whose script the file doesn't hold (the Python part missing or
damaged, or the script over the code budget) keeps only its cached value, but
its array range stayed recorded, so the cached values over the rest of its
spill were dropped as a formula's spill would be, and nothing filled them
again. The range of such a cell is now forgotten when it is read: the anchor
and the cells of its spill keep their cached values as plain values, as the
file shows them, with no live spill. An ordinary formula's dynamic-array spill
is handled as before.
A formula calling a Google-only function (GOOGLETRANSLATE, QUERY,
ARRAYFORMULA...) opened as #NAME? where the wrapper had shown the cached
value, as Excel does. The XLSX reader now unwraps a cell formula only when
every function inside is known: read_xlsx_with takes the predicate (the
xlsx crate can't depend on the function library) and the engine passes
gridcraft_calc::is_known_function. Unwrapping stays in the reader so shared
formulas are shifted from the unwrapped master.

A Python cell is written to xlsx as [MS-XLSX] 2.3.10 specifies: its
formula is _xlfn._xlws.PY(i,0|1), where i is the zero-based index of the
cell's script in the workbook's Python part and 0|1 the return type, 0
for an Excel value and 1 for a Python object. The part (2.1.23) is
xl/python.xml, content type application/vnd.ms-excel.python+xml,
related from the workbook part with
http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2023/09/relationships/Python; its
root python holds pythonScripts, one pythonScript per Python cell in the
order the cells are written, with the code in code. The code keeps its
xl() references as text, so the formula has no further arguments. The
cell keeps its cached value. A spilling result is written like a dynamic
array (cm="1", t="array" ref=...) with the spilled values cached, so
other applications show the values (and #NAME? if they recalculate).
The reader turns a PY( formula with or without the _xlfn. and _xlws.
prefixes into a Python cell. An index names a script of the Python part,
and each %Px% in the script becomes the text of the formula's argument x
(2.3.10.4). The string-literal form, PY("chunk"&"chunk",0|1), still
reads, from the formula's own text so line breaks in the code survive. A
formula naming a script the part doesn't hold keeps only its cached
value, with a warning: no calculation can evaluate it. The reader keeps
the cached spilled values as the cell's result, so a workbook from Excel
shows its arrays without running anything. Python errors are cached as
#VALUE!, as #SPILL! and #CALC! already are. Native JSON keeps Cell.py
whole: code, return type, the last result and the exact error.
Calc lays out a Python cell's kept result: Python cells are nodes of the
dependency graph that read nothing, and a pass takes a dirty Python
cell's result instead of evaluating it, so its array spills, is blocked
(#SPILL!) and unblocked, and feeds its dependents exactly like a
formula's. An array that is malformed or has more than 1,000,000 cells
(only a crafted file holds one) shows #SPILL!. A dirty Python cell is
pending in the pass, as a dirty formula is, so a formula, a range read
or a cell-by-cell range walk that reaches it before its turn lays it out
first rather than reading its old value.
Opening a file can't make the app loop over a claimed size: the reader
keeps a Python cell's spill range only when it has at most 1,000,000
cells (a range claiming the whole sheet is dropped with its values, as a
formula's spilled values are), and io::adopt_python rebuilds results for
at most 4,000,000 cells over the whole workbook, with a warning for the
cells it skips. The Python part is read up to 64 MB and 1,000,000
scripts, a script is kept up to one character past what a cell may
hold, and the cells take at most 64 MB of code from the part in all,
since several formulas can name one script. io::enforce_python_limits
drops the code of a cell whose code doesn't fit in 8,192 characters as
PY(...) (the cell keeps its cached value, with a warning) and a kept
result that isn't a well-formed array within the cap, each with its
spill range and spilled values, so the sheet and a save no longer show
the old spill. Formats that keep PY() as an ordinary formula (xls, xlsb,
ods) are adopted the same way. Opening a file runs nothing.
The command-sequence fuzzer sets Python cells (code with xl()
references, quotes, line breaks, and code at and over the size limit),
and its xlsx round-trip check allows the Python errors becoming
#VALUE!, which is what the file format stores.
Tests: the written formula naming its script, the Python part with its
content type and relationship, return types, a spilling table saved as a
dynamic array, Python errors as #VALUE!, the round trip of values, code,
long code with quotes and line breaks and the error, and no Python part
without Python cells; a workbook laid out as the format specifies (an
index, a parameter named as %P2%) read as Python cells with their
spilled values and saved back with its code in a Python part; the
string-literal form; a formula naming a missing script, with and without
a Python part; 20,000 cells naming one long script against the code
budget; the part's reader and writer (escaping, odd %P tokens, a long
script, a repeated parameter); a blocker in the spill area giving #SPILL!
and clearing it spilling again; the native JSON round trip; a spill
range claiming the whole sheet; the workbook-wide budget; hostile JSON
(code over the limit, a result claiming far more cells than it holds); a
malformed result that never spills; PY() formulas at 8,079 and 8,080
characters of code. Calc: formulas, MAX, SUM, COUNTA and SUMPRODUCT read
a dirty Python cell whose array is blocked before its turn, in a full
and an incremental recalculation, and see the array once it is
unblocked; enforce_python_limits removes the spill of dropped code and
of a dropped result, and keeps a sound one.
Cell gains `py: Option<Arc<PyCode>>`, read with a serde default and not
written for ordinary cells, so older native files load and ordinary
cells serialize as before. PyCode holds the code, the return type (an
Excel value or a Python object), the last result (value, type name,
preview, whether it converted to cells) and a stale flag for manual
calculation. The cell's `value` stays the cached result, so formulas,
display and saving read a Python cell like any other. is_blank,
CellStore::has and input_text (which returns the code) take the code
into account; Cell::has_content and clear_content cover value, formula
and code together.
The model reads and writes the PY function's syntax as Microsoft
documents it, PY("chunk"&"chunk",0|1), with string literals of at most
255 characters and the return type 0 for an Excel value, 1 for a Python
object. The reader takes the `_xlfn._xlws.` prefix (and `_xlfn.` or
`_xlws.` alone, in any letter case); to_file_formula writes it. (An xlsx
file keeps the code in its Python part instead; the xlsx commit adds
it.) The size limit is Excel's 8,192 characters for that formula, not a
count of code characters: doubled quotes and the "&" between literals
count, so code with many quotes fits in fewer characters (8,079
characters of plain code fit exactly). The model also finds the
xl("...") literals in code, skipping comments and other strings; a plain
literal may escape a quote or a backslash. A rewritten reference that
holds the literal's quote (a sheet name that needs quotes, 'Q4
2026'!B2) takes the other quote as the literal's delimiter, or an
escaped quote when it holds both, so it never ends the string early.
Edits: cell.set over a Python cell, Clear Contents, Clear All and the
cells a merge empties remove the code; Clear Formats keeps it. Copy and
paste (All, Formulas), Fill, sort, cut-move, sheet copy and undo carry
it; a cut to another sheet first qualifies its xl() references with the
source sheet, as a moved formula's references are, so they keep
reading the same cells. Paste Values and Paste Link do not carry it,
and paste operations do not combine numbers with a Python cell. Fill
copies Python cells instead of extending them as a series. cell.set
with =PY(...) is refused with a message that points to python.set, and
Text to Columns keeps a piece that reads as =PY(...) as text instead of
clearing it. Goal Seek refuses a Python cell as its changing cell, and
Solver as a variable cell, as both refuse formulas: the number written
there would replace the code. The sheet-protection check compares the
code, so a locked Python cell cannot be changed. cell.get reports
{python: code, output, typeName, preview, stale}.
The xl() literals follow reference-moving edits: rewrite_all_formulas
(row and column insert and delete, cell insert and delete, cut-move),
sheet rename and sheet delete adjust each literal like a formula
reference, and replace it only when it changed.
Errors: CellError gains Python, Busy, Timeout and Blocked, and ALL has
14 entries, so the lexer reads them as literals. ERROR.TYPE gives 11 for
#BLOCKED!, the number Excel returns. Microsoft documents no ERROR.TYPE
number for #PYTHON!, #BUSY! or #TIMEOUT!; they take 19, 20 and 21, after
the numbers Excel is known to use. The xlsx writer caches the four as
#VALUE!, as it already does #SPILL! and #CALC!, because they are not
error codes of the file format.
Tests cover the =PY refusal, removal by entry and clearing, undo, copy,
paste values, fill and sort, xl() rewrites through row insert, sheet
rename (also to names that need quotes, with one quote and with both),
cut-move (also to another sheet) and column delete, Goal Seek and
Solver refusing Python cells, Text to Columns keeping a =PY piece,
native JSON round trips, the new errors, the prefixes, escaped quotes in
literals, and the encoded size limit at 8,192 characters exactly and
with doubled quotes.
Data > Outline > Settings now has Summary rows below detail and Summary
columns to right of detail. With one cleared, each group's - / + button
sits on the line before the group, its bracket runs down to the last
detail line, and Hide Detail, Show Detail, the level buttons and
Ungroup mark or clear the collapsed flag on that line. Changing a
direction moves the flags of collapsed groups to their new summary
lines.
- model: Sheet::summary_below and summary_right (on by default, also
for older JSON).
- xlsx: read and written as sheetPr/outlinePr summaryBelow and
summaryRight; files that set them no longer lose them on save.
- engine: data.outlineSettings {sheet?, summaryBelow?, summaryRight?},
undoable; outline::groups_with places the summary line.
- ui: a Settings button in the Data tab's Outline group opens the
dialog; the outline band follows the setting.
Security-sweep findings from the scan at revision ac8da7d4 (storytold-
gridcraft-agent-findings.json), no longer exploitable on main at 72c1d57d.
Each change caps work or storage per sheet/part so a hostile file cannot buy
unbounded work with ordinary bytes; each has a regression test:
- finding 2 (package.rs): a part rejected by the MAX_PART size gate is
charged its declared compressed size up front, so a loop of oversized
parts still ends the allowance instead of re-entering the package.
- finding 4 (xml.rs): elements past the kept-node cap are consumed and
dropped instead of kept — parse cost stays linear, memory stops growing
with the same input (a small compressed workbook previously asked for
gigabytes of declared-sized metadata tree).
- finding 10 (records.rs): .remaining() caches the suffix of a shared
string's Continue parts, so crossing N Continue records is O(N) instead
of O(N^2) in records scanned per character.
- finding 9 (xls shared formulas): the SHRFMLA master template is parsed
once and re-emitted per dependent cell instead of decoded and reprinted
for every referencing cell.
- findings 3, 6, 8 (sheet_read.rs): hyperlink-cell expansion, conditional-
format kept range cells and dynamic-array (deleted-spill) checks are
capped with one import warning each instead of the compact-workbook
multi-gigabyte allocation or the scanned-per-cell cost.
- finding 31 (core/parse.rs): datetime recognition no longer reparses a
prefix at every space with a time-shaped tail; an all-digit field length
is gated before the derivation machinery runs, staying linear in the
text.

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.

The reader took only <x:Visible/> from a note's VML shape and vml_xml
wrote every note with a fixed anchor (two columns right of the cell,
four rows tall) and a 108 x 59.25 pt style, so a plain open and save
moved and resized every note box Excel had stored.
Comment gets an optional NoteBox: the <x:Anchor> corners relative to the
note's cell (so the box follows the note when rows or columns move) and
the shape's width and height. The writer puts it back, clamped to the
sheet; notes made here, and boxes equal to the default, keep the
default box.
A formula read with `cm` (Excel's XLDAPR dynamic-array record in
xl/metadata.xml) now carries `Formula::dynamic`, and the writer keeps the
`cm` and the metadata part for it even when the formula returns one value
and the export shape analysis would not need array evaluation. Before, such
formulas were saved as legacy formulas, so Excel recalculated some of them
with implicit intersection (SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(range/range,0)) changed
value), and workbooks whose every dynamic formula was scalar lost
xl/metadata.xml altogether.
The mark survives moves, row and column insertion or deletion, sheet and
name renames and LAMBDA call-case fixes; retyping a formula drops it and
the writer decides from the formula's shape, as before. It is serialized
only when set, so saved documents without it are unchanged.

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.

Sheet protection stored an internal FNV hash that was never written to
XLSX, and an Excel sheet password was dropped on import, so imported
protected sheets could be unprotected without it. Protect Sheet now
stores a salted SHA-512 hash (spin count 100000) via PasswordHash; the
XLSX sheetProtection password (iterated or legacy) is read and written,
and Unprotect Sheet really verifies it. Hashes from older GridCraft JSON
workbooks are still read and verified.

The ribbon button toggled structure protection silently. It now opens a
Protect Structure and Windows dialog with an optional password; when a
password was set, unprotecting asks for it and really verifies it
(SHA-512, spin count 100000, salted). The password hash is read from and
written to XLSX workbookProtection (workbookAlgorithmName/HashValue/
SaltValue/SpinCount or the legacy workbookPassword); an unreadable one
stays locked. File › Info uses the same flow.

The model read topLeftCell but the grid always opened at A1 and never wrote
the current scroll back. Sheets now open scrolled to their saved first
visible cell; saves record the current one (and the active cell) without
dirtying the workbook. Frozen panes use the pane's topLeftCell.

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.

Pass-through of package content GridCraft does not model: on read the raw
parts are kept with their content types and relationship graph per owner
(package root, workbook, sheet); on write they get fresh part names where
needed and new relationship ids, and the r:ids in kept XML are rewritten.
Kept: custom document properties, ribbon customisation, add-in task panes,
custom XML, links to external workbooks with <externalReferences> (never
followed), connections, sheet query tables, printer settings with the
<pageSetup r:id> (#324), form and ActiveX controls, OLE objects and sheet
backgrounds with their VML shapes (merged with GridCraft's note shapes).
Content whose graph reaches parts GridCraft rewrites is dropped with a
warning; sheet content goes with its sheet and is not copied by Copy Sheet.

- Model: Sheet.edit_ranges (title, ranges, optional password hash,
security descriptor) and gridcraft_model::password: the ECMA-376 legacy
16-bit hash and the salted, iterated SHA-2 hash (SHA-512/384/256; other
algorithms, damaged hashes and spin counts over 10,000,000 are refused).
New passwords use SHA-512, spin count 100000. Adds the sha2 crate.
- XLSX: <protectedRanges> read and written; an unreadable password keeps
the range locked.
- review.allowEditRanges {action: list|add|modify|delete|unlock, ...}: empty
params list; ranges can't change while the sheet is protected; unlock
verifies the password for the session. Not journaled (passwords).
- Locked-cell checks (commit guard, cell.set, picture in cell) let edits
through in open or unlocked ranges; ranges move with structural edits.
- Ribbon button and a form dialog (menu invocation only).
