* UI: an unsaved macro-editor draft counts as unsaved work when its workbook closes
Closing a workbook (File > Close, Cmd+W, the Backstage Close, a window's
close button) while the macro editor holds unsaved changes now asks about
the draft first, with the editor's own Save changes to macro question,
even if the workbook itself is saved. Before, the workbook closed and the
draft was discarded without a question. Save or Don't Save goes on to
close the workbook, which then asks about its own unsaved changes (a
saved macro is one); Cancel keeps both open. A draft that cannot be
saved keeps its workbook open with the reason shown. A new macro that
has not been edited does not ask, and a close that leaves the workbook
open (one of several windows) or a forced close goes ahead as before.
* UI: a new macro's name change alone counts as an unsaved macro-editor draft
The check compared the draft with an untouched new macro that took the
draft's current name, so a new macro whose only change was its name
compared equal, and closing its workbook discarded the name without
asking. It now compares with the name the editor opened with.
* UI: Quit asks about an unsaved macro-editor draft before quitting
Quit (Cmd+Q, the macOS Quit menu, a quit from the Dock) went straight to
the unsaved workbooks and never consulted the macro step editor, so with
every workbook saved the app quit and discarded the editor's unsaved
steps. It now lets the editor ask first, as the window's close button
already does: Save or Don't Save goes on with the quit, Cancel stops it.
With one native window per workbook, the editor goes on with the app's
quit directly once it has closed: a close sent to the window it is drawn
in would close only that workbook's window.
* UI: a refused macro save while quitting stops the quit
When the macro editor's Save changes question was answered Save during
a quit (the window's close button or Quit) and the save was refused (a
new macro with a name already in use, a limit), the editor stayed open
with the reason shown but kept its quit intent. Closing the editor later
on its own then quit the app. A refused save now stops the quit, as
Cancel does.
* UI: a quit takes over a workbook close waiting on the macro editor
When File > Close was waiting on the macro editor's question and Quit
came in (or the other way round), closing the editor went on with the
quit and then replayed the close. With one native window per workbook,
the quit had already moved to the next unsaved workbook's window, so the
replayed close acted on that workbook and replaced the quit's Save
Changes question with an ordinary close question. The quit now takes
over: it asks about every unsaved workbook itself, and the waiting close
is dropped.
* UI: an untouched new macro closes without asking, however the editor closes
Closing a workbook already left an untouched new macro alone, but the
editor's own close checks still read its dirty flag, which a new macro
starts with: its close button, a quit, the control channel's cancel and
the close after a stopped debug run asked Save changes to macro (or
refused) for a macro nobody had edited. Every close check now asks
whether the draft has unsaved changes, so all of them agree.
* UI: closing the window that shows the macro editor asks about its draft
The editor's unsaved draft was consulted only when its workbook would
close. Closing the window that shows the editor while the workbook
stayed open in another window (window.close, or File > Close in that
window) went ahead: the window's dialog went with it, and the editor's
state was left behind with no window to show it, so the next macro
opened in the editor replaced the draft without asking. That close now
asks first, like a workbook close.
An editor left with no window to show it (a saved one, or a forced
close) is now dropped, as when its workbook closes. A window that has
closed no longer counts as showing a dialog while its parked state is
still kept.
* UI: a close waiting on the macro editor runs in the window it was asked in
A workbook or window close that waited on the editor's Save changes
question was replayed with the command and its parameters alone, so
file.close acted on whichever window was the session's active one when
the editor closed. The editor is drawn with its own window active, but
nothing tied the replay to it. The pending close now records the
editor's window and enters it before running again; if that window has
closed meanwhile, nothing else is closed and a message says so.
* UI: a close asked while the macro editor is asking waits for the answer
A second file.close or window.close for the editor's workbook or window
while its Save changes question stood replaced the pending close with
the new one: the answer then closed whatever the last request asked for,
not what the question had been opened for. A further request for the
same close now waits on the open question (no second question, and the
close runs once); a request for a different close (the workbook while
only the editor's window was closing, or the reverse) is refused with
the reason until the question is answered. A quit keeps taking over as
before.
* UI: test the quit with a macro draft in one window and unsaved cells in another
The quit asks about the editor's draft first, in its window, then about
each unsaved workbook in its window; Cancel at either question stops it
with every window and workbook open, and a draft discarded with Don't
Save before the quit was cancelled stays discarded. Covered in the
single-window harness, which presses the real buttons, and in the
native-windows harness, which now takes a key press in the root window.

* 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.

New query command formulas.traceError and a Trace Error item in the
Error Checking menu, between Error Checking… and Circular References.
From the cell it follows the first reference that shows the same error
(in a range, its first cell showing it) to the cell the error starts in,
as measured in Excel, and returns that source and the arrows: links
between the error cells, and arrows from the source's own references.
The walk visits each cell once and stops after 10,000 links.
The grid's trace now holds arrows with the sheets of both ends, built
once from the command's result. Error links are drawn in a new red sheet
token, the other arrows in a token for the blue they had. "Trace Error"
is translated in all 18 catalogs (German: Spur zum Fehler).

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 zoom changes the workbook's revision, which the trace arrows are tied
to, so every zoom removed the arrows of Trace Precedents and Trace
Dependents. Zooming moves no cell: Trace::keep_through_zoom carries
arrows that were current over a zoom from the View tab, the Zoom dialog,
the status bar's buttons and slider, Ctrl+wheel and the control channel.
Undoing a zoom is still an edit and removes them.

Structural edits, sheet renames and deletes, and a cut to another sheet
rewrite the xl() references in Python code, and could make a cell's code
longer than the 8,192-character limit that python.set enforces. Opening the
saved file then dropped that code to its value. Such an edit is now refused
with a message naming the cell, and nothing changes; keeping the old text
would have left a reference the edit had moved.
Add command and UI controls for chart data tables, shared chart and PDF rendering, and native XLSX persistence. Cover live values, blanks, formatting, alignment, undo/redo, bounds and table flags with regression tests.

* 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.

data.solverLoadModel reads such a range (or reads down from its first

data.solverReset (Reset All) removes the active sheet's model. Each is

The Solver Parameters dialog has Reset All and Load/Save buttons; the

* 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 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.

When a file is opened, a Python cell falls back to keeping only its value in
four cases: its code is missing from the Python part or the part is damaged
(the xlsx reader), its code is too long for a cell, its kept result is
malformed, or its result is past the adoption budget. The first kept the
values the cell spilled as plain values; the others dropped them, so values
the file showed were lost. All of them now follow one rule, through
Sheet::settle_spill: the anchor and every spilled cell keep their cached
values as plain values, with no live spill range; a cell's own content and
format are never overwritten; and the work is bounded by the spilled values
stored, not by the range. The values move from the spill into the cells, so
nothing is copied. The cut-by-budget test is renamed for what it now checks,
the dropped-result test now expects the values kept, and the adoption warning
and the file-format docs say so.
* Fix#2812: Intel Macs skip wgpu's indirect-call validation shaders
Metal's Intel compiler aborts on wgpu's indirect-validation compute shaders
("Compiler encountered an internal error"; MTLCompilerService crashes in
reportUnsupportedMaxWorkGroupSizeMetadataError), the device is lost inside
request_device and GridCraft exits before its window opens. GridCraft issues
no indirect draws or dispatches, so on Intel Macs the instance leaves
VALIDATION_INDIRECT_CALL out; WGPU_VALIDATION_INDIRECT_CALL=1 turns it back
on. Every other platform keeps wgpu's default. Same as WordCraft (#2652 there).

* Review: test that WGPU_VALIDATION_INDIRECT_CALL=1 still turns it on; qualify the doc line
The override is checked in a child test process with the variable set, since
tests can't set environment variables without unsafe code. The revision line
no longer says Intel Macs start: OpenCore Legacy Patcher Macs on macOS 15 can
still fail on the MSL version (#1116).

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Google Sheets' XLSX export writes a formula that uses a function it thinks
Excel lacks as IFERROR(__xludf.DUMMYFUNCTION("<formula, quotes doubled>"),
<cached value>). GridCraft showed the wrapper as the formula.
fmla::from_file, which every cell formula read goes through (plain, shared
master and t="array"), now recognises exactly that shape: IFERROR (with or
without _xlfn.) of a single-string __xludf.DUMMYFUNCTION call, any case.
If the string parses, the formula inside replaces the wrapper, as the whole
formula or nested in a larger one (parenthesised unless it is a single
operand). The cell keeps the file's cached value.
Bounded on hostile input: inner text over MAX_FORMULA_LEN is not parsed,
only one level is unwrapped, and a result that no longer parses (nesting
past the parser's limit) keeps the file's formula. Text that doesn't parse
keeps the wrapper.
Saving writes the real formula with Excel's _xlfn. prefixes, as Excel does
with the _xlfn functions it knows. Keeping cached results for functions
GridCraft can't calculate is #2770 and not part of this change.

The default still reads a string with typed input, which is en-US: "05.04.2026"
from a dd.mm.yyyy export became 4 May, "2.500" became 2.5, and the command said
nothing (#2255). `parse: false` (PR #2267) lets a caller keep the text, but a
script that does not pass it still cannot notice the change.
The result now names them: `converted` lists the strings typed input read as a
number (dates and times included), a boolean or an error, with the cell, the
input and what the cell shows, and `convertedCount` is the total. It is capped
at 20 entries and 32 characters per string, so a big write does not put a second
copy of its data in the result. A string written as a formula (`=1+1`) and a
leading apostrophe are not conversions. `cells` and the default reading of the
values are unchanged.
Two `parse: false` fixes from the review of #2267:
- An empty string clears the cell, as `null` and the default path do. Storing an
empty text cell left a cell that is not blank: `values: [["", ""]]` gave
COUNTA 2 and ISBLANK FALSE.
- MCP `write_range` takes `parse`, so an agent can opt out too; the tool's
description and docs/mcp.md say so.
Tests: the issue's examples under both settings, the report and its cap, the
empty string, and an XLSX save/reopen that keeps the text as text and the
default's date as a date.
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.
The Function Library group was a big Insert Function button followed by
AutoSum and seven big category buttons that all drew the same icon, the
widest group on the Formulas tab. It is now laid out as Excel lays it
out when the window is not wide enough for a big button per category:
big Insert Function and AutoSum buttons, then the categories as
labelled small buttons in columns of three:
Recently Used Text Math & Trig
Financial Date & Time More Functions
Logical Lookup & Reference
- The category buttons draw a new code-drawn icon, Icon::FnBook, a book
whose spine and glyph (star, coins, question mark, letter, clock,
magnifier, theta, dots) take the category's colour from the theme's
category palette. icons::paint_accent draws an icon with an accent
colour, and widgets::small_button_accent is a small button that uses
it; small_button is unchanged for its callers.
- AutoSum stays the big split button: the icon inserts SUM, the label
and arrow open the AutoSum menu, which now reads Sum, Average, Count
Numbers, Max, Min and More Functions… and is shared with Home ›
Editing. Its tooltip names the control only, so the shortcut comes
from the platform lookup (Alt+= on Windows and Linux).
- Each category menu lists its functions with their descriptions on
hover and ends with Insert Function…, which opens the dialog with
that category. More Functions cascades into Statistical, Engineering,
Cube, Information, Compatibility and Web. Recently Used lists what
the engine's formulas.recentlyUsed returns.
- The function categories, the function list (built once) and the menus
live in a new function_library module; the dialog's category labels
come from it.
- keytips.json gains MR for Recently Used, Excel's sequence. Labelled
small and big buttons report their label to accessibility.
- The one-line labels (Date & Time, Lookup & Reference, Math & Trig,
More Functions) replace the two-line keys in every interface
language, with the same words. Recently Used is translated in Czech,
German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and
Chinese; the other languages show it in English, their fallback.
Tests: tests/it/function_library.rs covers the layout (columns of three
level with the tab's other columns), each category menu and its Insert
Function… row, the More Functions cascade, the AutoSum split button and
its menu, and the MR key tip. A ribbon unit test keeps Command-key
glyphs out of the ribbon's text. chart_resize picks the chart menu's
Delete now that Home › Cells' Delete has an accessible name.
