Protect Sheet and Unprotect Sheet were journaled with their `password`
param, so the password showed in plain text in the journal dialog and
`engine.journal`, and a recorded script (Automate > Record Actions)
saved it in the workbook's hidden `_sc_scripts` name.
Session::execute now journals the params without secret ones
(`password`, or a name ending in `Password`). A replayed entry runs
without that param: Protect Sheet protects with the same options but no
password, and the matching Unprotect Sheet still succeeds.

Copying a multi-area selection always failed in the engine, and the UI
dropped the error, so Ctrl+C did nothing and Ctrl+V had nothing to
paste. Now, as in Excel:
- Areas that cover the same rows (or the same columns) and don't
overlap are copied as one block, slid together left to right (top to
bottom). The clipboard keeps a snapshot with the block packed at the
first area's place; formulas travel as their values, and column
widths or row heights, comments, pictures and merges come along.
- Other layouts, Cut of several areas and Paste Link of a multi-area
copy are refused with "This action won't work on multiple
selections."; Copy and Cut from the keyboard, ribbon and context menus
now show that message instead of failing silently.
- The marching ants go around each copied area.

Dragging a header boundary inside a selection of whole columns (rows)
sized only the current area, so with B, D and F Ctrl-selected only the
last-selected one changed. The drag now targets every whole-column
(whole-row) area of the selection, as Excel does; lines outside the
selection, and partial-cell areas, keep their size.
home.columnWidth / home.rowHeight accept a comma-separated list of
areas ("B:B,D:F") so the drag stays one command and one undo step.

A chart linked to a PivotTable: series are built from the report
(innermost row items x column items/value fields, totals excluded) and
rebuilt on every refresh or layout change; c:pivotSource round trip;
chart series accept union references.

- 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).

A value field can be a calculated field whose formula is evaluated on
the sums of the fields it names for each report cell (Excel's documented
semantics). Command to add/change/delete, dialog from the field pane,
XLSX cacheField formula round trip.

insert.checkbox existed but had no ribbon button, replaced existing values
with FALSE and was written to XLSX as an invalid number format. Now:
Insert > Checkbox (Cell Controls); empty cells start FALSE, other values
stay and display as General; toggling an emptied box checks it and only
checkbox cells toggle; Delete unchecks first, then removes the boxes; XLSX
reads and writes the checkbox as Excel's feature-property-bag cell control
([MS-XLSX] 2.1.22, 2.3.9, 2.4.99).

A line chart from numeric X values (years) plotted them as a series and
there was no way to set the axis labels. Now:
- a blank top-left cell over a header row makes the first column the
category labels even when it holds numbers (the usual convention);
- chart.selectData takes categories (Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels,
"" clears) and removeSeries, and range is optional;
- Chart Design gets a Select Data button opening a Select Data Source
dialog: chart data range, legend entries with Remove, axis labels.

- Writer: one xl/threadedComments/threadedCommentN.xml per sheet with
comments (thread, replies via parentId, done for resolved, dT when known)
and xl/persons/person.xml (one person per author), with the [MS-XLSX]
relationship and content types. Each thread keeps its legacy note, linked
by the tc={id} author and xr:uid; its body is the text plus replies.
Ids are GUID-shaped and deterministic.
- Reader: keeps dT timestamps (Comment.dates, JSON-compatible), drops
replies whose thread is missing, and reads note visibility from the VML
<x:Visible/> (best effort, broken VML skipped silently).
- Invalid dates are never written. Round-trip and hostile-input tests.

The ribbon button inserted a column chart straight away. It now opens an
Insert Chart dialog: a Recommended tab (insert.chartRecommendations, a
heuristic over the data's shape: series, points, labels, negatives) and an
All Charts tab, each with a live preview of the chart for the selection.
OK inserts the chosen type and selects the chart.
insert.recommendedCharts stays dialog-free for programmatic calls: without
a type it inserts the first recommendation; type/subtype pick one.
insert_chart is split into build_chart (also used for previews).

Evaluator special form returning the range (or array) without its blank
outer rows and columns; trim codes 0-3 as documented; written as
_xlfn.TRIMRANGE. The trim-reference operators are not parsed yet.

- 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).

dialogs::show put the Name Manager back into app.dialog after its body
had opened the New Name dialog, so New… did nothing. A dialog opened from
another one now takes over and the opener waits behind it (back), coming
back when the child closes; Go To still hands over to Go To Special.
The Name Manager gets Excel's New…/Edit…/Delete buttons over a selectable
list. formulas.defineName takes oldName/oldScope to edit a name in place;
a renamed name is renamed in cell formulas and other names' definitions.

Spreadsheets put an HTML table next to the tab-separated text; Excel
(x:num) and LibreOffice Calc (sdval) record each cell's number there.
Paste now reads the HTML flavour (new paste_html host service, arboard on
desktop) and edit.paste takes an optional html param: a field that would
paste as text becomes the recorded number when the HTML cell shows the
same text, with an inferred format ("Rp"#,##0.00) that renders it back
identically.

A plain drag copies a lone number and extends every other series; Ctrl+drag
(Cmd on macOS) now does the opposite, as in Excel: a lone number counts up
by 1, and numbers, dates, lists and `Item 1`-style text are copied.
edit.autoFill gains mode "alternate" for this.

Turning the filter on with a multi-cell selection used the selection as the
filter range. With only the header row selected, the filter had no data rows:
the dropdown list was empty and filtering hid nothing. A one-row selection
now extends down over the current region below it. An explicit `range`
parameter is still taken as given.
The filter menu gets a search box, as asked for in the issue. It narrows
the value list; Select All then reads "(Select All Search Results)" and
covers only the matches, and Apply keeps only the checked matches. The box
takes focus when the menu opens, so typing no longer lands in the active
cell.

An icon-set rule without stored thresholds (every rule made by
home.conditionalFormat, and the sales sample) was written as an empty
<iconSet>, which CT_IconSet forbids (cfvo minOccurs 2); openpyxl drops it.
The writer now always emits one cfvo per icon: the stored thresholds when
there is one per icon, the lower bound prepended when it is missing, else
Excel's defaults (percent 0/33/67, 0/25/50/75, 0/20/40/60/80).
Evaluation read the thresholds as one fewer than the icons, but files
carry one per icon (the first is the lower bound), so thresholds read from
a file were ignored. Both now share icon_count and default_icon_thresholds
in gridcraft-model; icon_count is clamped to 3..=5 so a set name like
"0Foo" can't underflow k - 1.

Excel decides duplicates by what a cell displays, not the value stored:
the same date shown as 3/8/2006 and as Mar 8, 2006 is two values, while
1.01 and 1.02 both shown as 1.0 are duplicates. Remove Duplicates
compared stored values, so it did the opposite in both cases.
With Case sensitive checked, Sort compared text by code point, so every
uppercase word came before every lowercase one (A, B, a, b). Excel
compares ignoring case first and only then puts lowercase before
uppercase: a, A, b, B.
home.conditionalFormat took any operator it didn't know as "greater",
so a Cell Value rule given Excel's own names (lessThan, greaterThan,
lessThanOrEqual, greaterThanOrEqual, as in the file format and VBA)
silently became "greater than". Those names are now accepted, as data
validation already does, and anything else is an error.
Excel compares a blank cell as 0 (or empty text) in Cell Value rules,
so "less than 5" or "equal to 0" also formats blank cells, and a
cell holding an error never matches (the comparison is an error).
GridCraft skipped blank cells and matched errors as if they sorted
above every number ("greater than 5" formatted #N/A).
The No Blanks rule also counted a cell holding only spaces as not
blank, while the Blanks rule (like Excel's LEN(TRIM())) counted it as
blank, so such a cell matched both.
Only the first matching rule's format was used, so with a light red
fill for >300 and a red border for >500, 510 showed only the border.
Excel applies every matching rule; where two rules set the same part
(fill, font colour, a border edge…), the rule with the higher priority
wins, and Stop If True still ends the list.
