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.

New command home.insertCopiedCells: makes room at the active cell and
pastes the clipboard there, as one undo step. Whole copied rows or columns
insert whole rows or columns; a copied block shifts the cells down or right
(Insert Paste dialog from the menu). A cut of whole rows or columns moves
them and closes the gap (Insert Cut Cells). The cell and header context
menus show the entry while the clipboard holds a copy.

- review.previousComment / review.nextComment select the previous/next
threaded comment in reading order (row by row), across visible sheets in
tab order, wrapping around; disabled when the workbook has no comments.
- review.showComments {on?} toggles the Comments pane as session state, so
the CLI, MCP and control channel can drive it; the UI pane follows it.
- review.showAllNotes {on?} displays every note (session display setting,
not saved in the file).
- review.convertToComments turns every note in the workbook into a threaded
comment with the same author and text, as one undoable edit.
- Ribbon: Previous/Next and a Show Comments toggle in the Comments group;
Show All Notes and Convert to Comments in the Notes menu. Strings in all
catalogs. Parity checklist regenerated (263 / 290).

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.
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.
cell.set treated a missing input as an empty string, so a call that forgot the
input (or sent it under the wrong key) cleared the cell and reported success.
It now returns an error when neither `input` nor `value` is given. An explicit
empty string still clears the cell.

Implements the two slicer commands from the parity catalog as first-class
floating objects that filter a table column.
- model: Slicer struct on Sheet (#[serde(default)]), included in
Workbook::next_object_id; slicer anchors use AnchorMode::MoveOnly.
- engine: cmd/slicer.rs with insert.slicer, table.insertSlicer, slicer.toggle
(single + multi), slicer.selectAll, slicer.clear, slicer.delete. Selection is
written as a FilterCriterion::Values into the sheet AutoFilter and applied via
the existing apply_filter. object.move / object.delete handle "slicer".
- ui-egui: slicers rendered, hit-tested, selected and dragged like charts; value
tiles toggle on click (Ctrl/Cmd = multi), funnel button clears. Ribbon buttons
under Insert > Filters and Table Design > Tools.
- tests: slicer_filters_table; the every_command_survives_empty_params fuzz
covers the new commands.
Native-only for now; .xlsx slicer-cache round-trip is a follow-up.
