ROADMAP.md: both header changes (form controls first, then main's chart data tables), the form-controls progress-log and revision rows on top of main's rows.
docs/file-format-parity.md: both header changes (form controls first, then main's page order and chart data tables), the form-controls revision row on top of main's rows.
docs/macros.md: both header changes (form buttons first, then main's step-editor close rule).
docs/target-app-parity.md: both header changes (form controls and catalog 280 / 296 first, then main's ToolPak, page order and data tables), the form-controls revision row on top of main's rows.
docs/ui-parity.md: both header changes (form controls first, then main's Trace Error and page order; catalog count 280 / 296), the form-controls revision row on top of main's rows.
crates/model/src/sheet.rs: the push_object test helper (w/objects, b874f586) gets main's new Chart field, data_table: None, so the model crate's tests compile.
crates/ui-egui/tests/it/chart_data_table.rs: main's new test selects its chart through select_object_id, the one selection of w/objects, instead of the selected_chart field that w/objects replaced.
ROADMAP.md, docs/chart-parity.md, docs/gaps.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md: the header change notes combine this branch's note with main's, dated today; main's revision and progress rows stay and this branch's rows are re-dated on top. Code merged without conflict.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak two-factor Anova (with and without replication) and z-Test
Builds on the ToolPak of #320. data.analysisToolPak gains three tools:
Anova: Two-Factor Without Replication (rows and columns as factors, the
residual as the error term), Anova: Two-Factor With Replication (samples of
rowsPerSample rows, with the interaction and within-cell terms) and z-Test:
Two Sample for Means (known variances, normal tails and critical values from
NORM.S.DIST and NORM.S.INV). Each has a form in the Data Analysis dialog.
Tests check the reports against Montgomery's hardness-testing and
battery-life examples.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Fourier Analysis
data.analysisToolPak gains Fourier Analysis: the discrete Fourier transform
or its inverse of one row or column of 2^k values (at most 4096), by an
iterative radix-2 FFT. Input cells are read as IMREAL and IMAGINARY read
them, so complex text such as 3+4i works, and the results are written as
COMPLEX text. Tests check known transforms (1, 2, 3, 4; a sampled cosine),
the inverse round trip and the input limits.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Random Number Generation and Sampling
data.analysisToolPak gains the last two of Excel's 19 tools. Random Number
Generation draws uniform, normal, Bernoulli, binomial, Poisson and discrete
numbers, or writes a patterned sequence, in one or more columns; binomial and
Poisson draws invert tables built from BINOM.DIST and POISSON.DIST. Sampling
takes every period-th value or a random sample with replacement. Both use a
seeded xoshiro256** generator: the same seed repeats the numbers, and a run
without one reports the seed it chose. Output is capped at 1,000,000 numbers.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak two-factor Anova without replication: Labels caption names the first column
With Labels ticked, Anova: Two-Factor Without Replication takes the column
names from the first row and the row names from the first cell of every data
row. The form's caption read "Labels in first row", so a user with column
headers but no row names who ticked it would lose the first data column. The
caption now reads "Labels in first row and first column", and the command's
params doc says the same. A dialog test checks the caption.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak docs: timestamp lines and revision history for the 19 tools
docs/gaps.md (§13) and docs/target-app-parity.md (what-if and analysis) gain
their Last updated line and a revision-history row for the Analysis ToolPak
reaching all 19 of Excel's tools.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak new tools refuse options that are not numbers
Random Number Generation (from, to, mean, standardDeviation, p, lambda, step,
and the whole-number options) and z-Test (hypothesizedDifference) read their
options with a default for anything that did not parse, so a form value typed
as "0,3" or a typo quietly ran with the default. A blank or absent option
still takes the default; any other value that is not a finite number is now
an error naming the option.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak refuses an Alpha that is not a number
alpha() took any value that did not parse as the default 0.05, so a typed
"0,01" ran z-Test, both two-factor Anovas (and the existing t-tests, F-Test
and single-factor Anova, which share it) at the wrong significance level
without a word. A blank or absent Alpha still means 0.05; any other value that
is not a finite number is now an error.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Random Number Generation form hides the count for a patterned sequence
A patterned sequence takes its length from From, To, step and the two repeat
counts and ignores Number of Random Numbers, so a count typed there did
nothing. The form shows the count only for the random distributions, and the
patterned options carry a note that the repeats set how many values are
written.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Random Seed caption says a blank seed draws a new sequence
Random Number Generation and random Sampling labelled the seed "blank for
none", but a blank seed makes the engine choose a new one, so each run draws
different numbers. The caption now reads "blank for a new sequence".
* Data: Analysis ToolPak form scrolls its options in a short window
The Data Analysis window cannot be resized, and the patterned Random Number
Generation form (seven distribution choices and five pattern fields, each
label above its box) is taller than a 600-point window, so OK ended below the
window's edge. The tool's options now sit in a vertical scroll area capped to
the window's height less the title, output options and buttons, which always
stay in view.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak docs: Forecast Sheet is no longer listed as missing
docs/target-app-parity.md's what-if and analysis row still listed Forecast
Sheet as missing, while data.forecastSheet is in the catalog and docs/gaps.md
§13 lists it as present. The row now lists it with the other analysis tools,
and today's revision-history row says so.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak seed applies only where numbers are drawn
A patterned sequence and periodic sampling draw nothing, but the form showed
the Random Seed field for both, and Random Number Generation read the seed for
every distribution: a seed left in the form that was not a whole number
refused a patterned run, and a valid one was reported as the seed used. The
seed field now shows only for the random distributions and random sampling,
and a patterned run neither reads nor reports a seed.
* Data: Analysis ToolPak Fourier Analysis keeps small parts beside large ones
The cleanup after the transform zeroed every part at or below 1e-13 of the
largest output, so a one-value input such as 1e14 + 1i lost its imaginary
part although a transform of one value performs no arithmetic, and a small
harmonic beside a large DC term was lost the same way. The cutoff is now the
rounding bound of the transform itself, 8 · ε · log2(N) · Σ(|re_n| + |im_n|),
divided by N for the inverse (whose outputs are divided by N): it depends on
the input and the number of butterfly stages, never on the largest output,
and is zero for N = 1. An input sum that overflows disables the cleanup
instead of zeroing everything. Two regression tests cover the one-value case
and an eight-point round trip of 1e6 + 1e-7 cos(2πn/8).
* Data: Analysis ToolPak binomial and Poisson tables grow with the distribution, not the trials
Random Number Generation tabulated a binomial or Poisson distribution by
evaluating BINOM.DIST or POISSON.DIST through worksheet-function dispatch
for every outcome from 0 upward, so a million trials with p = 1 meant
1,000,001 calls and a table of as many entries. The table is now built from
one value at the mode and the recurrence pmf(k + 1) = pmf(k) · (n − k)/(k + 1)
· p/(1 − p) (λ/(k + 1) for Poisson), outward in both directions: the left
tail ends where its terms vanish, the right tail once the cumulative
probability reaches 1 within f64 resolution, so the table is as wide as the
outcomes that matter (about 23,000 entries for Binomial(1,000,000, 0.5)).
p = 0 and p = 1 are exact cases with one outcome. The trials limit and the
draws are unchanged. Tests check the recurrence against BINOM.DIST and
POISSON.DIST to 1e-12 relative, the table width at a million trials, and
that the largest inputs complete in milliseconds with the right means.

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.

* Data: Solver Load/Save Model and Reset All
data.solverSaveModel writes a model (the sheet's saved model, or one
given as data.solver params) down a column of its sheet as formulas:
the objective and goal (=MAX(...), =MIN(...) or =cell=value), the
variable cells (=COUNT(...)), one =AND(relation) per constraint, which
shows TRUE while the constraint holds, and the method and its options
as an array constant. It refuses a range that overlaps the model's
cells or runs off the sheet.
data.solverLoadModel reads such a range (or reads down from its first
cell), checks the model and makes it the active sheet's model.
data.solverReset (Reset All) removes the active sheet's model. Each is
one undo step.
The Solver Parameters dialog has Reset All and Load/Save buttons; the
dialog can also be opened with fields that go over the saved model.
* Data: Solver Reset All also clears a model read from workbook-level names
A sheet's Solver model can come from workbook-level names, which every
sheet without a model of its own reads. Reset All removed only the
sheet-level names, so such a model stayed and the dialog showed it
again.
Removing the workbook-level names would change every other sheet that
reads them. Reset All instead leaves them in place and writes an empty
sheet-level solver_opt over them on the active sheet only; the result
says masked: true. saved_model now reads a sheet's own names when the
sheet has a solver_opt, and the workbook-level names only otherwise,
never a mix of both, and treats an empty solver_opt as no model. The
mask survives XLSX and is replaced when a model is saved on the sheet.
* Data: Solver Save Model clears the rest of a longer model saved at the same cell
Saving a model over a longer one saved at the same cell left the old
model's last rows on the sheet, so Load Model from that cell read the new
options row followed by stale constraint rows and refused the range.
Save Model now clears what is left of a model saved there before (only
when those cells hold a complete model written by Save Model, and never
the new model's own cells), keeping the cells' formatting, in the same
undo step. Load Model reading down from one cell also stops at the
options row, so formulas just below a saved model no longer break it.
* Data: Solver Load Model keeps the Evolutionary convergence and generations
Save Model writes Convergence and the generations without improvement in
its options row and Load Model reads them, but the sheet's saved model
(hidden names) did not hold them, so after Load Model, or any solve,
they fell back to their defaults. The saved model now keeps them for the
Evolutionary method: Convergence as solver_cvg, which means the same in
Excel, and the generations as gridcraft_solver_stall, because Excel's
solver_mni is a time in seconds. Saving a model again and Reset All
remove the GridCraft name with the solver_* names.
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses a range with a gap
Load Model from a range of several cells kept only the cells that hold a
formula, so the rows below a cell without one moved up. A constraint cell
overwritten by a constant gave a model without that constraint, and an
empty cell before the options row gave the default options, both without
an error. Load Model now refuses a range in which a cell before the last
formula holds no formula, and names that cell. Empty cells after the
model are still allowed.
* Data: Solver removes only its own names when it saves or resets a model
Saving a model (by a solve or Load Model) and Reset All removed every
name of the sheet that starts with solver_, so a user's own name such as
solver_budget was deleted with the model. They now remove only the
Solver's names: the ones Excel's Solver writes (solver_opt, solver_adj,
solver_lhs1, solver_rel1, solver_rhs1 and so on) and GridCraft's own.
The names are matched by name rather than by the hidden flag, so a model
whose names lost that flag is still replaced in full.
* Data: Solver Save Model refuses a place where the options cannot spill
The options row that Save Model writes is an array constant of eight
values, which spills into the seven cells to the right of its first
cell. Content in any of those cells blocked the spill and the options
cell showed #SPILL!. Save Model now checks the whole spill range before
it writes anything and refuses, naming the cell, when a cell there holds
content or another formula's spilled values or is a cell of the model,
when merged cells or a table meet the row (a dynamic array cannot spill
into a table), or when the range runs past the last column. It also
refuses a place where the model's column would cover another formula's
spilled values, which that formula would lose to #SPILL!. The options of
a model saved at the same cell before may be replaced, as before.
* Data: Solver Reset All and Load Model drop the old model's options
Reset All cleared the model fields of the Solver Parameters form but
kept the Evolutionary options (Convergence, Mutation Rate, Population
Size, Random Seed, generations without improvement and Require Bounds),
and Load Model kept any of them that the loaded model omits, such as all
of them for a GRG Nonlinear or Simplex LP model. A new Evolutionary model
then solved with the old options, for example with Require Bounds off.
Both now remove the model's options from the form first (one list of
their keys), so an option the model doesn't set takes its default.
* Data: Solver Save Model asks before it replaces data
Save Model wrote its formulas over whatever the model range held.
It is now refused, with the sheet unchanged, when a cell of the
range holds a value or a formula (a model saved there before
included), unless `overwrite: true` is passed. The message names
the first such cell and carries the same "already holds data"
phrase as Data Analysis, so the Solver Parameters dialog asks
"Replace it with the model?" with Replace and Don't Replace. The
question belongs to the range it asked about: editing the range,
Load or Reset All drops it. The check runs after the spill checks,
so the question is asked only when replacing would succeed. A save
remains one undo step.
Tests: the engine test refuses a value, a formula and an earlier
model, accepts only a true boolean, and undoes and redoes the
replacing save in one step; the dialog test covers Don't Replace,
an edited range and Replace. Both fail without the change.
* Data: Solver Load Model and Reset All tests for limits and undo
Tests for behaviour already in place: reading down from one cell of
a column of 5,000 formulas stops after the most rows a model takes,
a range larger than a model is refused before any cell is read, and
malformed or hostile cells and ranges (unbalanced brackets, an
overflowing number, an unknown sheet, 10,000 nested brackets, a
non-text `from`) each give an error and leave no model. Undoing
Reset All brings the model back with its options (the population
size).
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses a model without its options row
Load Model from one cell read down to the first cell without a
formula, and a range dropped its trailing cells without formulas.
A constraint cleared in the middle of a saved model, or its options
row cleared or replaced by a constant, therefore left a prefix of
the model, which was loaded as the whole model with default options
and replaced the sheet's model. Every load now requires the model's
last row to be the options row ({...}) that Save Model writes last;
otherwise it is refused, naming the cell without a formula when
reading down from one cell, and the sheet's model stays as it was.
The test clears a middle constraint, clears the options row and
replaces it by a constant, loads from the first cell and as two
ranges, and checks after each refusal that the old model (three
constraints, Simplex LP) is unchanged. It fails without the change.
* Data: Solver Options
The Solver Parameters dialog's Options button shows the Solver Options
in the same window: Max Evaluations and Integer Optimality for all
methods, and Convergence, Mutation Rate, Population Size, Random Seed,
Maximum Generations without Improvement and Require Bounds on Variables
for Evolutionary. OK keeps the changes for the next solve; Cancel
restores them.
The evaluation limit and Integer Optimality are now part of the model:
they are saved in the hidden names (solver_itr, which counts evaluations
in place of iterations, and solver_tol) and in the options row of Save
Model. Both accept numbers or text, as the other options do.
* Data: Solver keeps its own limits out of Excel's Solver names
The evaluation limit was saved as solver_itr. Excel uses that name for
its iteration limit (100 by default), so a workbook saved by Excel would
give GridCraft 100 evaluations and stop its search early. GridCraft now
saves the evaluation limit as gridcraft_solver_evals, which Excel
ignores, and no longer reads solver_itr. Saving a model again and Reset
All remove it with the other model names. Integer Optimality
(solver_tol) keeps Excel's name, as its meaning is the same.
* Data: Solver Reset All also resets the Solver Options
Reset All removes the model's options from the Solver Parameters form,
the Solver Options fields (the evaluation limit, Integer Optimality and
the Evolutionary options) and Require Bounds, so the next Solve uses the
defaults. It now also removes the copy of the options that Options keeps
for Cancel. A test checks that the options are gone after Reset All and
that Options then shows the defaults.
* Data: Solver reads Integer Optimality with a percent sign as percent
Integer Optimality is given in percent, but text such as "5%" was read
by the number parser as 0.05 and then divided by 100 again, so the
solver used 0.05 % instead of 5 %. A trailing percent sign is now
dropped before the number is read, so "5", "5%" and 5 all mean 5 %.
* Data: Solver Options closes with Escape back to the Solver Parameters
Escape in the Solver Options view went to the shared dialog handler,
which closed the whole Solver dialog: the options were not restored and
parameter edits made before opening Options were lost. Escape (and
closing the window) in Solver Options now does what Cancel does: it
restores the options and returns to the Solver Parameters. Escape in the
parameters still closes the dialog.
* Data: Solver keeps the Evolutionary options when another method solves
Solver Options sets the Evolutionary options whatever the solving
method, but the saved model and the model in data.solver's result held
them only for the Evolutionary method. A GRG Nonlinear or Simplex LP
solve (which saves the model by default) dropped them, and switching
back to Evolutionary brought back the defaults. They are now saved and
returned for every method. Two tests that expected them to be absent
for other methods now check their values.
* Data: Solver Options keeps its OK and Cancel row at button height
The Solver Options' OK and Cancel row was a right-to-left layout placed
straight in the window, which takes all the height it is offered, so
the buttons sat well below the last option and the window was taller
than its content. The row is now wrapped in a horizontal row as tall as
the buttons, as the other form dialogs do (ok_cancel).
The window's height now changes when it switches between the parameters
and the options, and the window re-centres over the next frames, so the
test that switches back and forth lets a few frames pass after each
switch before it clicks.
* Data: Solver Parameters keeps its Solve and Close row at button height
The Solve and Close row was a right-to-left layout placed straight in
the window. The window keeps its size when its content gets shorter, as
it does when the Load/Save area or a note is hidden again, and that
layout then filled the space left over, so Solve moved further below
the last row. The row is now a horizontal row as tall as the buttons,
as ok_cancel and the Solver Options do.
* Data: Solver dialog opened in its options sets them up as the Options button does
Opening the Solver dialog straight in the Solver Options (optionsView:
true) only changed the title. It skipped what the Options button does:
filling each option the form lacks with its default and keeping the
current values for Cancel. With no saved model the fields were blank,
and Cancel or Escape found nothing to restore, so the edits stayed and
the next Solve used them. The button and the dialog now share one
function for this.
* Data: Solver reads Integer Optimality back without floating-point noise
Integer Optimality is stored as a fraction, and the product with 100 is not exact for many percents (0.07 * 100 is 7.000000000000001). The percent is now rounded to 1E-10 % wherever it is read back: the saved model, the solve's model params and Save Model's options row.
* Data: Solver reads whole-number options back as integers
The model's numeric options were returned as floating-point JSON, so after a solve the Solver Options showed 20000.0, 100.0, 0.0 and 50.0. Values read from the hidden names, and Integer Optimality in the solve's result, are now JSON integers where they are whole, and the dialog shows 20000, 100, 0 and 50.
* Data: Solver test checks the model saved by the second solve
The test of Excel's iteration and time limits ignored the result of
its second `data.solver` call and checked only names the first call
had already created. It now reads the saved model afterwards and
checks the values the second call changed (Simplex LP and an
evaluation limit of 700). The call itself still fails, as Simplex LP
refuses the nonlinear model, after the model is saved.
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses an options row cut short
The options row of a saved model was read leniently: a missing value
or one that isn't a number took its default, and values after the
sixteenth were not read at all. A row cut short or edited by hand,
such as ={1}, therefore loaded the model with default options in
place of the saved ones (here: GRG Nonlinear in place of Simplex
LP). The row must now hold at least the eight numbers Save Model
writes (method, non-negative, population size, mutation rate, random
seed, require bounds, convergence, generations without improvement),
and every value in it, however many, must be a number; otherwise
Load Model is refused and the sheet's model stays as it was. Only
the first sixteen values are kept. More numbers than eight are still
read, so a row with options a later version adds loads too.
The test loads rows of one value, seven values, a text value among
the eight, after them and after the sixteenth, and a TRUE, from the
first cell and as a range, checking the old model after each
refusal, and a row of ten numbers, which loads. It fails without the
change.

Both now remove the model's options from the form first (one list of
their keys), so an option the model doesn't set takes its default.
* Data: Solver Save Model asks before it replaces data
Save Model wrote its formulas over whatever the model range held.
It is now refused, with the sheet unchanged, when a cell of the
range holds a value or a formula (a model saved there before
included), unless `overwrite: true` is passed. The message names
the first such cell and carries the same "already holds data"
phrase as Data Analysis, so the Solver Parameters dialog asks
"Replace it with the model?" with Replace and Don't Replace. The
question belongs to the range it asked about: editing the range,
Load or Reset All drops it. The check runs after the spill checks,
so the question is asked only when replacing would succeed. A save
remains one undo step.
Tests: the engine test refuses a value, a formula and an earlier
model, accepts only a true boolean, and undoes and redoes the
replacing save in one step; the dialog test covers Don't Replace,
an edited range and Replace. Both fail without the change.
* Data: Solver Load Model and Reset All tests for limits and undo
Tests for behaviour already in place: reading down from one cell of
a column of 5,000 formulas stops after the most rows a model takes,
a range larger than a model is refused before any cell is read, and
malformed or hostile cells and ranges (unbalanced brackets, an
overflowing number, an unknown sheet, 10,000 nested brackets, a
non-text `from`) each give an error and leave no model. Undoing
Reset All brings the model back with its options (the population
size).
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses a model without its options row
Load Model from one cell read down to the first cell without a
formula, and a range dropped its trailing cells without formulas.
A constraint cleared in the middle of a saved model, or its options
row cleared or replaced by a constant, therefore left a prefix of
the model, which was loaded as the whole model with default options
and replaced the sheet's model. Every load now requires the model's
last row to be the options row ({...}) that Save Model writes last;
otherwise it is refused, naming the cell without a formula when
reading down from one cell, and the sheet's model stays as it was.
The test clears a middle constraint, clears the options row and
replaces it by a constant, loads from the first cell and as two
ranges, and checks after each refusal that the old model (three
constraints, Simplex LP) is unchanged. It fails without the change.
* Data: Solver Load Model refuses an options row cut short
The options row of a saved model was read leniently: a missing value
or one that isn't a number took its default, and values after the
sixteenth were not read at all. A row cut short or edited by hand,
such as ={1}, therefore loaded the model with default options in
place of the saved ones (here: GRG Nonlinear in place of Simplex
LP). The row must now hold at least the eight numbers Save Model
writes (method, non-negative, population size, mutation rate, random
seed, require bounds, convergence, generations without improvement),
and every value in it, however many, must be a number; otherwise
Load Model is refused and the sheet's model stays as it was. Only
the first sixteen values are kept. More numbers than eight are still
read, so a row with options a later version adds loads too.
The test loads rows of one value, seven values, a text value among
the eight, after them and after the sixteenth, and a TRUE, from the
first cell and as a range, checking the old model after each
refusal, and a row of ten numbers, which loads. It fails without the
change.

file-format-parity.md, target-app-parity.md and ui-parity.md gave form
controls a new timestamp line without a matching revision-history row;
each now has one. The file-format-parity.md timestamp line keeps the
earlier change it replaced, as the other docs do.
The Insert tab gains Button, Slider and Spin Button beside Cell
Controls › Checkbox, which is unchanged. Each arms placement: a drag on
the grid draws the control at that size (a tall drag makes a vertical
slider), a click places it at its default size, and Escape disarms. Key
tips (N B U, N S L, N S B) place one at the active cell. A new button
opens Assign Action, as Excel opens Assign Macro.
form_controls.rs draws the controls in the sheet tokens, so they look
the same in both themes: buttons with hover and pressed states, sliders
with a track, a filled part and a thumb (and the value beside the thumb
while it is dragged), spin buttons with two arrows, stacked or side by
side. A plain click works a control: dragging the thumb, clicking the
track (a page), clicking or holding an arrow (it repeats after 0.4 s),
pressing a button (it runs on release over it). A drag or a hold is one
undo step. The control last worked takes the arrows, Page Up and Page
Down, Home and End, and Space or Enter for a button. Ctrl or Cmd+click
or a right-click selects a control to move or resize it; a right-click
opens the object menu, which for a control adds Edit Text and Assign
Action (buttons) and Format Control before Delete.
Double-clicking a selected control opens its editor. On a right-to-left
sheet a control moves as a whole and works where it is drawn.
Assign Action runs a macro (from the list or typed, on the selection or
a fixed range, with an optional output cell) or a command (searched
among those a macro may run, with JSON parameters). Format Control edits
the value, limits, incremental and page change, cell link, orientation,
name and the locked and print flags, checking the same rules as the
engine. A button whose action needs approval, or whose macro would write
over data, asks in a prompt whose buttons press it again with the
answer.
New theme tokens (thumb, hover, pressed, fill, focus ring) are in the
contrast test; Button, Slider and Spin icons are drawn in code; the new
labels are translated in every interface language. The catalog gains
Developer › Controls (280 / 296).
gaps.md §4 carried two evidence paragraphs, an older one saying PRs #158
and #161 were open and a newer one saying all 2-D kinds survive XLSX round
trip, both repeating the resize, smooth-line, Switch Row/Column and
trendline statements. It is one paragraph with the current status again.
The Mainstream chart row in target-app-parity.md listed trendlines as
missing; they are read, written and drawn (`Series::trendlines`, the XLSX
chart reader and writer, `chart.addElement`), as chart-parity.md records.
The row now says so and keeps "no axis options". No score change.
gaps.md (§4), target-app-parity.md (the Essentials tier's work, the
Mainstream chart row, the interaction discount and the Essentials chart
task) and chart-parity.md (the element table and the work list) still
described charts as impossible to resize (#190). Charts move and resize
from eight handles like every floating object, so those statements now
say so; the 2026-10-10 revision rows and the 10-10 re-check stay as
history. Scores and the 40-60 h chart estimate are unchanged (resizing
was 1-2 h, within the rounding).
formulas.recentlyUsed scanned the session journal for cell.set inputs.
It missed formulas entered by range.* commands, lost them when the
journal dropped its oldest entries (a large file open or a long script
is enough), and started empty in every session. The Function Library's
Recently Used menu and the Insert Function dialog list what it returns.
- Prefs::recent_functions (a new engine module, recent.rs) holds the
ten functions most recently entered in a formula, newest first.
Session::execute updates it for every cell.* and range.* command it
journals, from any source (the interface, the control channel, MCP or
a script). It reads at most 2,000 of the formulas a command enters,
starting from the last one; formulas longer than Excel's limit are
skipped. formulas.recentlyUsed
returns it. It never reads the journal back, so the journal's caps do
not affect it.
- The list is kept with the other engine preferences (prefs.json, the
browser's storage on the web), so it survives a restart as Excel's
does. It is read leniently: a malformed value loses only this list. A
fresh install starts from common functions.
The Insert Function dialog is titled "Insert Function", as in Excel (it
said "Formula Builder"), and gains a working category list: Most
Recently Used, All, then each category in Excel's order. A category may
be given by label or by engine id, so a Function Library menu or the
control channel (ui.dialog.set) opens it on one, and a new search
switches to All. The dialog keeps its translated labels and its search
in the interface language. Each row shows the function's name and its
category in two columns; the category column starts after the widest
name shown, so a long name in any font or formula language stays clear
of it. A function counts as recently used once its formula is entered,
not when OK is pressed. The unused "Formula Builder" translations are
removed.
Tests: engine unit tests for reading functions from formulas (strings,
unknown names, over-long and malformed formulas), the formulas a
command enters (newest first, within the budget), the ten-name list
and the lenient read of prefs.json; tests/it/recently_used.rs for
cell.set and range.setValues from the session, a failed command, a
cleared journal and a save and reload of the preferences. UI tests for
the menu's order and the dialog's title, categories, engine-id
category, search and OK, and for the category column with a wide font.
A reference box that had focus kept picking from the grid while Check, Run or a debugger action
ran. The selections those make landed in the box and dirtied the draft, and a later Check could
save that draft. The pick now ends when an action starts, and while a debug run is active a
selection on the grid is never taken as a pick.
Also: the parity assessment said an .xlsm's VBA project is dropped on open; it is kept unchanged
on save and never run.
New Macro (Automate › Macros) and Step Into, Edit and Create in the
Macros dialog open a resizable step editor. It works on a draft of the
macro and saves it with macro.save.
The step list shows each step's number, a breakpoint dot in the gutter
(click to set or clear), a category icon, a summary, an error marker
and an enabled checkbox; Repeat bodies and If branches are indented
under their step, and rows drag to reorder within their list. Add Step
opens a command picker (control steps first; commands a macro may
never run are left out) and fills in the command's required
parameters; Duplicate and Delete act on the selected step.
The inspector's Details tab edits the selected step. Reference
parameters are reference boxes that take a typed reference or a
selection on the grid, with a Rel/Abs switch between a token relative
to the example input and an absolute reference, and token suggestions.
The Inputs tab sets each input's shape, header and column types (Use
current selection as example infers them); the Output tab sets the
anchor and the conflict rule.
The debug bar has Check (a dry run that colours the grid: inputs blue,
writes green, writes over data red), Run, Step, Continue, Run to Here
and Stop, which asks whether to keep the changes or undo them. The
debugger receives the editor's breakpoints with breakpointsOnly, so a
dot cleared while paused takes effect at once; the current step is
selected, its parameters are shown as they will run, and its target is
outlined on the grid. While a macro is debugged, the status bar says so
and Show reopens the editor.
List drag and drop lives in a small dnd module. The debugger icons are
drawn in code, and the breakpoint and sheet overlay colours are theme
tokens covered by the contrast test.
The Automate tab gains a Macros group: Macros opens the Macros dialog,
Record Macro opens the Record Macro dialog (name, Ctrl+Shift shortcut
letter, description, Use Relative References) and turns into Stop
Recording while recording, Use Relative References sets how the next
recording starts, and Run Macro runs the macro run last; its menu lists
the recent macros, then every macro. While recording, the status bar
shows a red dot, "Recording · N steps" and Stop.
The Macros dialog (Automate › Macros, View › Macros, Alt+F8) lists the
workbook's macros with their shortcuts, then its Automate scripts, and
says when the file carries a VBA project, which is kept and not run.
Run, Delete (which asks first) and Options (shortcut letter and
description) act on the selected row. The dialog keeps the result of
view.macros, so the scripts and the VBA entry are listed as before.
A macro that needs approval asks with Run, and one whose output would
land on data asks with Overwrite, Shift Down and Shift Right; each
button runs the command again with its answer. Ctrl+Shift+letter
(Cmd+Shift on a Mac) runs the macro with that shortcut; the letters
GridCraft uses keep their meaning. The View › Macros keytips (WMR, WMV)
now open the Record Macro and Macros dialogs.
Icons for macros, recording and relative references are drawn in code,
the recording dot is a theme token covered by the contrast test, and
large and small ribbon buttons and icon buttons carry accessible names.
- target-app-parity.md: the summary table and the method say 276 / 292 and 292 unique ids, as
`cargo xtask parity` measures; Last updated and revision history.
- architecture.md: macros are kept as `_gc_macro_<n>_<k>` (CodeRabbit 4366060044).
- macros.md: the intro says the page covers the engine and its commands, without implying
later work.
* CI: dev builds keep line tables only
* CI: one integration-test binary per crate
* CI: xtask runs tests with nextest, doctests apart, --keep-going on clippy and wasm
cargo xtask test runs the workspace tests (--lib --bins --tests) with cargo-nextest when it is installed, else cargo test, then the doctests. cargo xtask ci uses the same two steps.
* CI: docs name cargo xtask test
* CI: agent guides name the moved fuzz test
* CI: tests added on main join their crate's test binary
- The workbook's active sheet is an atomic set in place (Workbook::active_sheet /
set_active_sheet), so a window swap or sheet switch never clones the
Arc<Workbook> or marks it dirty. Selections already live in DocState and the
window views. Save records the sheet of the most recently active window.
- A dialog taken out of its window while it runs goes back to that window when
a command run from it switched windows (dialogs::show, ui.dialog.confirm).
- view.arrangeAll {arrange?: tiled|horizontal|vertical|cascade, activeWorkbook?}
returns the visible windows, active first; the desktop moves and sizes the
native windows over the main window's monitor. New Window and Arrange All
buttons on the View ribbon; Arrange Windows dialog.
- Docs: ui-parity, hardware-parity, gaps #20, target-app-parity, ROADMAP.
The catalog went from 274 / 290 to 275 / 291 with View › Macros › Record Macro, and
parity-checklist.md says so, but the ROADMAP.md headline, ui-parity.md and target-app-parity.md
still said 274 / 290 (and 290 catalog ids). They now match, with revision rows.
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.
auto_row_height grew a row for every line break in a cell's text whether
or not the cell wrapped. Excel counts breaks only when Wrap Text is on:
with it off a multi-line value displays on one line and AutoFit gives a
one-line row. A file whose unwrapped cells hold pasted multi-line text
(the shape generating libraries write) opened with tall rows and nothing
visibly tall in them.
The fast path no longer treats a line break as a reason to measure, and
the measuring path lays text out over lines only for a wrapping cell.
Typing a break still turns wrap on (the Alt+Enter rule in cell entry) and
grows the row, as before.
Test: an unwrapped multi-line cell from a file keeps the default height
on open; wrap on grows the row; wrap off returns it; a typed break wraps
and grows. The open-time fit tests from #833 are unchanged.

With two or more value fields the Σ Values pseudo-field can sit in Rows
as well as Columns, at any position among the row fields. The model
records it (`PivotTable.values_on_rows`, `values_position`) and the
engine lays it out like Excel in compact, outline and tabular form: one
row item per value field at the Σ Values level, per-value subtotals
("East Sum of Sales") and grand totals ("Total Sum of Sales").
XLSX reads `dataOnRows` and the `-2` field's place in rowFields or
colFields and writes them back; the "values on rows are shown on
columns" warning is gone. `pivot.moveField` moves "Σ Values" between
Rows and Columns or within one, axis field moves keep it in place, and
the PivotTable Fields pane lists it.

Builds on the Solver of #327. data.solver takes reports: [answer, limits]
and writes them on new sheets before the model's sheet once a solution
is found. The Answer report lists the objective and variable cells with
their original and final values and each constraint's value, formula,
status (Binding or Not Binding) and slack; cells are named by the
nearest labels to their left and above. The Limits report minimises and
maximises each variable with the others held at the solution, under the
model's constraints, and gives the objective at both ends (Simplex LP
and GRG Nonlinear, without integer constraints).
data.solverReport writes the reports for a given solution and model,
so data.solver's result (which now carries the original values and the
model) can be passed to it as is. The Solver Results dialog offers the
two reports; they are written after Keep Solver Solution or Restore
Original Values.
Builds on the Solver of #327. method: evolutionary runs a genetic search
for models that aren't smooth: tournament selection, blend crossover and
Gaussian mutation inside the variable bounds, feasibility-first ranking
and integer rounding, then a compass search around the best member. It
stops when the population converges, when the best member stops
improving for a number of generations, or at the evaluation budget. A
seeded generator makes runs repeatable. Population size, mutation rate,
random seed, convergence and Require Bounds are options; the method and
its options are saved in the hidden solver_* names. The Solver
Parameters dialog offers the method.
