PranavandFredApps 7bb397a3c1 UI: RefEdit reference boxes in dialogs (Goal Seek, Solver, Data Analysis) (#494) 
* UI: RefEdit reference boxes in dialogs; Goal Seek picks its cells on the grid

A reference box (RefEdit) is a text field that takes a range by selection
on the grid. While a box is the one being picked into (it was clicked into
or collapsed), clicking or dragging on the sheet writes the absolute
reference into it, with the sheet name when the selection is on another
sheet; typing still edits it, and the box takes the keyboard back after a
pick. Focusing another text field of the dialog ends picking.

The collapse button beside each box shrinks the dialog to that box, at the
dialog's top-left corner, so the sheet is free for selecting. Escape,
Enter or the expand button restore the dialog. The sheet and selection
from before picking are restored before the dialog runs its command
(references without a sheet name mean the sheet the dialog was opened
on) and when it closes. The button is focusable, works with Space and
Enter, and is named for screen readers; the icons are drawn in code.

Goal Seek's Set cell and By changing cell are reference boxes. The
snapshot example's --refedit key=range collapses the open dialog to a box
and selects a range, to render the collapsed state.

* UI: Solver and Data Analysis take their ranges with RefEdit boxes

Form dialogs gain a Ref field, drawn as a reference box with its collapse
button. Data Analysis uses it for the input, variable, X and Y and bin
ranges, and for Output Range, where picking or typing a reference also
chooses that output option. Solver Parameters uses reference boxes for
the objective, the variable cells and both sides of a new constraint.

* UI: Data Analysis keeps New Worksheet Ply when chosen after picking an Output Range

The Output Range box chose its option on every frame while it was the box
being picked into, so clicking New Worksheet Ply after using the box
reverted to Output Range on the next frame. The box now chooses Output
Range only when it is clicked into or its text changes (typed or picked),
and choosing another output option ends picking into it, so a later
selection on the grid doesn't fill it either.

* UI: RefEdit boxes remember the dialog's sheet by name

The sheet a dialog was opened on was kept by index, so a sheet inserted
or moved while picking (the ribbon stays usable) made a range on the new
sheet lose its sheet name, and closing the dialog went back to whichever
sheet now had that index. The sheet is now kept by name, as New
Formatting Rule's formula box does.

* UI: switching sheets while picking into a RefEdit box doesn't fill it

A reference on another sheet carries the sheet name, so after a click on
another sheet tab the selection never matched the one last seen, and the
switch alone wrote that sheet's remembered selection into the box,
replacing a typed reference. The box now notes which sheet its last seen
selection was on: showing another sheet only refreshes it, and a
selection made on that sheet still fills the box.

* UI: a RefEdit box for one reference takes only the area being selected

A selection of several areas (Ctrl+click) was written into every box as
a comma-joined union, which Goal Seek, Solver's objective and
constraints, and Data Analysis then refused as an invalid reference.
Solver's variable cells still take every area; the other boxes take the
area being selected.

* UI: RefEdit boxes follow the dialog's sheet when it is renamed

The dialog's own sheet was kept by name only, so renaming it while a
reference box picked made references on it carry the new name as if it
were another sheet, and running or closing the dialog could not put the
selection back. The sheet's index and the sheet count are now kept with
the name: when the name disappears while the count stays the same, the
sheet at that index was renamed and its new name is taken. Inserting,
moving or deleting other sheets still follows the name.

* UI: a deleted dialog sheet is never taken for another sheet

The dialog's own sheet was taken as renamed whenever its name was gone
and the sheet count matched the last frame's, so deleting it was read as
a rename a frame later (or after a sheet was inserted), and the
surviving sheet at that index became the dialog's sheet: unqualified
references ran against it and Cancel put the old selection on it.

The sheet names of the last frame are now kept in order. A rename is
taken only when the list keeps its length and only the home sheet's entry
changed; any other loss of the name marks the sheet as deleted for good.
Once it is deleted, picks carry their sheet's name, closing leaves the
selection where it is, and OK is refused with a message, since
references without a sheet name would otherwise run against whichever
sheet is shown.

* UI: RefEdit dialogs keep their sheet until they close

OK put the saved selection back and dropped the dialog's sheet with it.
When the command then failed, the dialog stayed open without its sheet:
a later deletion of that sheet went unnoticed and a second OK ran
references without a sheet name against the sheet shown, as it also did
when the person had only moved to another sheet after the failed OK.

The sheet is now kept, and followed through renames and deletion, until
the dialog closes; only the saved selection is put back once. A later
OK or Cancel shows the dialog's sheet again (or is refused once it is
deleted), and picking again on that sheet saves its selection anew.

* UI: Solver's Model Range is a RefEdit box

* UI: a collapsed RefEdit box keeps picking when something else is clicked

* UI: a dialog opened over a picking RefEdit dialog puts the selection back

* UI: arrow keys select on the grid while a dialog is collapsed to a RefEdit box

* UI: F4 cycles the anchors of the reference in a RefEdit box

* UI: tests for Enter while collapsed and OK after a cross-sheet pick

* Docs: RefEdit boxes' keyboard route, Model Range and click-elsewhere behaviour

* UI: a confirmed RefEdit dialog stays on the sheet its command showed

* UI: scripted dialog cancel and confirm end a RefEdit pick like the buttons

* UI: RefEdit boxes run their selection and sheet commands through the app

* Docs: RefEdit dialogs after OK, scripted cancel and confirm

* UI: a RefEdit dialog's OK stops when the picked sheet's draft cannot be saved

* Docs: ui.dialog.confirm applies to command-backed dialogs; a draft that cannot be saved stops OK

* UI: Cancel of a RefEdit dialog is never a confirmation, and says when it cannot go home

* Docs: cancelling a RefEdit dialog when its sheet cannot be shown again

* UI: a RefEdit dialog follows its sheet's rename only through the engine's recorded steps

* UI: F4 in a RefEdit box splits areas only at commas outside quoted sheet names

* Docs: how a RefEdit dialog follows its sheet's rename

* UI: a RefEdit dialog's sheet is told from a new sheet given its name

The dialog followed its sheet by name and read the recorded steps only once the name was gone, so a sheet deleted and recreated under its own name between two frames was taken for the dialog's sheet, and OK resolved unqualified references against the replacement. The home sheet is now followed through every recorded step since the dialog last looked: a sheet with its name is the same sheet only while its file id is unchanged (a sheet inserted in the session has none), a rename keeps the file id and the cells, and a deleted sheet is remembered as it was, so only an undo that brings that very sheet back revives it. When the steps are not accounted for, a sheet with the name is taken for it, as before. A sheet never saved to a file and replaced inside one undo group is the one case nothing in the model tells apart; the code comment says so.

* Docs: how a RefEdit dialog tells its sheet from a new sheet given its name

* UI: a RefEdit dialog follows a sheet that came from a file by its file id

A sheet read from a file keeps the file's sheetId, which no step changes and which a sheet inserted in the session lacks, so the dialog's sheet is found by it wherever a recorded step puts it and whatever the step renames it to: a group that renames the sheet and inserts a new one under its old name follows the rename instead of refusing OK. When the step also copied the sheet (a copy keeps the id), the one keeping the name is taken. A sheet never saved to a file is still followed by name, with the rename rule as before.

* Docs: a RefEdit dialog follows a sheet that came from a file by its file id

* UI: a RefEdit box the dialog stops showing is no longer picked into

A reference box compares the grid selection with the one it last saw only while it is drawn, so a box hidden while it was the one being picked into (Solver's Options view, the constraint value once the operator is int or bin) took a selection made meanwhile when it came back. After the dialog's window is drawn, a target box that was not drawn in the frame ends the pick, whatever hid it; Model Range no longer needs its own rule when the Load/Save area is hidden.

* UI: the Name Box keeps its keys while a dialog is collapsed to a RefEdit box

The collapsed picker took Escape, Enter and the arrow keys out of the frame's input whoever had the keyboard. The Name Box, drawn before the dialogs, had already read an arrow when the picker removed the same event and moved the grid selection, and the box then took that selection and the keyboard; its Escape expanded the dialog instead of only leaving the box. The picker now acts on those keys only when no other text field owns the keyboard, judged by the focus at the end of the frame before as well as now, since egui drops the focus for Escape before anything is drawn. The other field's Escape and Enter are still used up, so the dialog neither closes nor confirms on them.

* Docs: a sentence break in the ui.dialog row of the control protocol

* UI: a RefEdit dialog keeps its sheet by the sheet's identity, not by file id or history

The dialog's sheet was followed by name through the recorded undo steps, with the file's sheet id telling a saved sheet from a new one; a copy made with sheet.move keeps that id, so once the original was deleted the copy, as the only sheet of the id, was taken for the dialog's sheet and OK ran against it. The model now gives every sheet an identity while the app runs (SheetUid: fresh for every sheet added, inserted, copied or read, kept through renames, moves, undo and redo), so Home keeps the sheet's uid and finds the sheet by it each time it is needed. The history walk, the rename rule and the file-id and Arc comparisons are gone, with the undetectable single-step case they left: a sheet given the name, a replacement inside one undo group and a copy are all other sheets, and an undo that brings the original back makes it the dialog's again. Nothing of the unaccounted-steps fallback is kept, since the identity always answers. Regression test: copy the dialog's sheet, delete the original, OK is refused; undo, OK runs on the original. The identity tests no longer need a workbook that came through a file.

* UI: Solver's Reset All, Load, Save and Replace act on the dialog's sheet, as Solve does

Only Solve went through the dialog's home-sheet checks before running (dialogs::show): Reset All, Load Model, Save Model and Replace ran their commands straight from the form, on whichever sheet was active. After a reference box picked on another sheet and the dialog expanded, that sheet was still shown, so Reset All removed its model instead of the dialog's sheet's, and Load and Save read and wrote the model range on it. The four buttons now run only after the same checks as Solve: the dialog's sheet must still exist (else the command is refused with the deleted-sheet message) and is shown again with the selection from before picking put back (a failure to show it, a text-box draft that could not be saved, is shown as the dialog's error and the command does not run). Goal Seek has no other buttons, and Data Analysis's Replace goes through the confirm path that Solve uses, so neither needed a change. Regression tests: after a cross-sheet pick, Reset All clears the dialog's sheet's model and leaves the other sheet's; Save and Replace write the dialog's sheet; Load reads it.

* UI: Protect Sheet opened while a reference box picks on another sheet acts on the dialog's sheet

* Docs: a scripted Goal Seek after a cross-sheet pick cancels the dialog before data.goalSeek

* UI: the Protect Sheet labels follow the dialog's sheet while a reference box picks on another

* Docs: a scripted Goal Seek checks that the dialog's sheet still exists after cancel

* Control: ui.dialog.cancel replies sheetDeleted when the dialog's own sheet is gone, even if its name was reused

* M2: allow shared-runner variance in the pathological math timing gate

* M2: refuse sheet protection actions after a reference dialog home is deleted

## Headline numbers
| Number | Value | Kind |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-14 | Editing a cell with text that would read back as a number, boolean, date or formula (entered with a leading apostrophe) shows the apostrophe in the editor and formula bar, so Enter unchanged keeps it text (#1362) |
| **Feature breadth** (weighted) | **~75%** | estimated, anchored on two measurements: ribbon catalog 277 / 292 (94.9%), worksheet functions 513 / 523 (98.1%; 504 working, 96.4%) |
| **Ready for real work** | **~50%** | estimated from written weights (51.6); [target-app-parity.md](docs/target-app-parity.md) |
| **Mainstream practitioner** | **~50%** | estimated: typical analyst/finance user, weekly features, × 0.90 interaction × 0.92 stability × 0.88 file exchange; [method](docs/target-app-parity.md#mainstream-practitioner) |
| **Essentials user** | **~63%** | estimated: core features only, × 0.92 launch/stability × 0.95 clarity × 0.90 opening sent files; [method](docs/target-app-parity.md#essentials-user) |
| Remaining to **beta** | **~160–240 Opus 5.5 agent-hours** | estimated; itemized in [roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md#beta-gates) |
| Remaining to **full parity** | **~700–1,100 Opus 5.5 agent-hours** | estimated; sum of the dimension rows below |
| Audience | Ready % | Opus 5.5 agent wall-clock hours to ~95% | Work that dominates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full target (ready for real work) | ~50% | ~650–1,050 | Get & Transform and the data model, localization (twelve languages), charts depth, file fidelity (`.xls`, corpus, pass-through), PivotTables, collaboration, mobile |
| Mainstream practitioner | ~50% | ~200–310 | File exchange with Excel users (corpus and Excel verification, pass-through, large files, `.xls`, encryption: 63–97 h), common-chart depth (30–45 h), PivotTables (20–30 h), keyboard and interaction (18–28 h), calc correctness and functions (20–33 h) |
| Essentials user | ~63% | ~60–100 | Opening files people send (`.xls` import and saving with a password 24–36 h; macOS Finder open 2–4 h), launch stability (6–10 h), basic chart resize and polish (6–10 h), print and Page Layout (8–12 h), small editing and UI fixes (10–16 h) |
Each tier is a subset of the one above, so its hours are too. Calibrated as in [Effort and
calibration](docs/target-app-parity.md#effort-and-calibration) (~6–10 h per readiness point for the remaining, verification-heavy
work; single features measured from PRs #66, #100, #101). Parallelism: the full and mainstream
work splits ~65–70% across 4–6 agents by area; the essentials work is mostly small fixes plus one
long `.xls` track, so about half parallelizes (≈30–50 wall-clock hours with three agents).
Why alpha: all six core workflows in the [alpha gate](docs/roadmap.md#alpha-gate) pass end to end on macOS with save and reopen, and the core workflow works end to end (open an XLSX, enter formulas and data, format, sort
and filter, chart, pivot, print to PDF, save XLSX), but users still hit blocking gaps on real
files: 100 MB workbooks don't open (#175), there's no `.xls` (#121), Arabic and Devanagari text
isn't shaped (Chinese text still reported in #142), charts lose their type and options on round trip, and
nobody has yet confirmed that Excel opens our output without a repair prompt across a real
corpus. Beta needs those closed (see [beta gates](docs/roadmap.md#beta-gates)).
The 2026-10-07 numbers (catalog 89%, "feature depth ~65%", "~215 h to full parity") were
re-measured. Catalog and function counts held or rose; the depth and hours moved because of new
evidence: 82 issues filed by users and contributors in the repo's first five days, and scope the
old estimate left out (localization, legacy `.xls`, Power Query and the data model,
collaboration, mobile, AI).

## Languages
The ribbon is translated into Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian
and German (266–268 labels each, ~12% of ~2,200 strings; merged 10-10 in #31, #104, #82, German
added 10-11), the
interface follows the system language, and CJK, Thai and Hebrew text falls back to system fonts
(#38). Japanese (10-17) and Brazilian Portuguese also translate the dialog titles and labels,
message boxes, Backstage/File-view items, template names and native menus: 943 strings each, ~43%.
The remaining dialogs, menus and messages are English; formulas and number formats are en-US only.
Localized German formulas and numbers are in PR #163. Detail: [localization-parity.md](docs/localization-parity.md).

Other shipped languages: 3 (Russian and German, menus only, ~12%; Dutch, menus, File view and dialog titles, ~24%).
## Upcoming
Ranked; estimates in Opus 5.5 agent-hours. Detail and the full beta-gate list in
[docs/roadmap.md](docs/roadmap.md).
1. **Land the open PR queue** (50 open PRs on 2026-10-10, many fixing listed gaps: recalc and spill
correctness, chart kind round-trip, CJK font fallback, macOS Finder open, German and Chinese
UI). Review and merge: 8–15 h.
2. **XLSX fidelity on a real-world corpus**, with Excel opening our output without repair: 25–35 h.
3. **Large workbooks and recalc speed**: 100 MB XLSX, 1M rows, multi-threaded recalc: 40–60 h.
4. **Charts depth**: kinds and options round-trip, axes, trendlines, error bars: 25–35 h.
5. **Text in every script** (CJK, Thai, Arabic, Devanagari) in cells and PDF: 12–20 h.
6. **Legacy `.xls` import and password-protected workbooks**: 20–30 h.
7. **Localization**: extend the catalog past the ribbon, then the twelve languages: 100–165 h.
## Progress log
| Date | What landed |
|---|---|
| 2026-11-02 | Dialogs take ranges by selection on the grid: reference boxes (RefEdit) with a collapse button that shrinks the dialog while the person selects, in Goal Seek, Solver (including the Model Range of Load/Save) and Data Analysis; while collapsed, the arrow keys move the selection and Shift+arrow extends it, and F4 cycles a reference's anchors |
| 2026-11-02 | Python mode in the formula bar: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P, `=PY` then Tab, or editing a Python cell edits its code in the formula bar, with Enter for a new line, Tab to indent and Ctrl+Enter to commit through `python.set`. The code still doesn't run |
| 2026-11-02 | Python cells as data: `python.set` stores code in a cell, Python cells copy, move, fill and undo like formulas, and `.xlsx` reads and writes Python cells as [MS-XLSX] specifies (`_xlfn._xlws.PY(index,0 or 1)`, the code in the workbook's Python part) with cached values and spills, so such workbooks open with their results; nothing runs Python (new code shows `#BLOCKED!`), and opening a file limits code size, result size and spill ranges |
| 2026-11-02 | Equations: Insert › Equation (a split button with a gallery of examples) and an editor with quick-insert buttons, the error underlined at its position and a live preview; `insert.equation` and `equation.edit`; LaTeX laid out by RaTeX inside the new `gridcraft-math` crate, capped and panic-guarded, and cached on the shape so that painting never runs the layout engine; xlsx writes Office Math with a plain-text fallback and the source in `descr`, and reads Office Math back into LaTeX; PDF prints equations with the standard Symbol font and `[?]` for anything else |
| 2026-11-02 | Solver writes a Sensitivity report: Simplex LP shadow prices, reduced costs and allowable ranges from the final tableau; GRG Nonlinear reduced gradients and Lagrange multipliers from difference gradients, at a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker point only; Solver Results offers it where it applies (no score change) |
| 2026-11-02 | Floating objects: charts, pictures, shapes and slicers share one selection with a frame of eight resize handles (each moves only its own edges, also on right-to-left sheets); Delete or Backspace deletes the selected object and Escape drops the selection; slicers follow row and column edits and sorts like the other objects; chart series follow cut-moves and sheet renames and deletes; a copied sheet gives its objects fresh ids; `ui.inspect` reports `selectedObject` and `ui.object.select` selects any object (#190, #213) |
| 2026-11-01 | Chart data tables are available from Chart Design › Add Chart Element and Format Chart Area. Tables follow live source values and number formats, keep blank cells blank, offer legend keys and border settings, and survive XLSX save/reopen; the shared renderer includes them in print and PDF. Readiness estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-11-01 | XLSX keeps the first visible workbook window's active sheet and display settings together, falling back to the first view when all are hidden. Tab ratios are normalized to 0–1000 on import and export; invalid numeric text uses 600. Synthetic round trips cover isolated attributes, missing views, and active tabs after sheet deletion/reordering; firstSheet remains separate #2264 work (#3057). |
| 2026-10-31 | Esc in File › Info, Print or Options first leaves the text field; the next Esc returns to the sheet (#3035) |
| 2026-10-31 | CSV and text open detects each column's date order: a value that reads only day first (`31/05/2026`) makes the column day first, a value that reads only month first (`12/31/2026`) makes it month first, an all-ambiguous column keeps month first with a warning, and a column with both kinds stays text with a warning (#2765) |
| 2026-10-31 | Recently Used lists the functions most recently entered in a formula from any source (ribbon, control channel, MCP, scripts), kept with the preferences and returned by `formulas.recentlyUsed`; the Insert Function dialog takes Excel's title and a working category list (Most Recently Used, All, each category) |
| 2026-10-31 | Formulas › Function Library as a big Insert Function button, the AutoSum split button and three columns of labelled small buttons, each category book in its own colour; category menus end with Insert Function… on that category; More Functions cascades into the remaining categories; Home › Editing shares the AutoSum menu; the MR key tip opens Recently Used |
| 2026-10-25 | AutoSum over a selection does what Excel does: a selected row gets one total to its right (in its last cell if that is empty), not a one-cell total under each cell; a block whose last column is empty gets each row's total there, one whose last row is empty each column's, and with both the corner gets the total of the block; otherwise totals go under each column as before |
| 2026-10-24 | Macro interface ([macros.md](docs/macros.md#in-the-window)): an Automate › Macros group (Record Macro, which turns into Stop Recording, Use Relative References, Run Macro with recent macros); "Recording · N steps" with Stop in the status bar; a Record Macro dialog (checked name, free Ctrl+Shift shortcut, description); the Macros dialog lists macros beside Automate scripts and a VBA project, with Run, Step Into, Edit, Create, Delete and Options; Ctrl+Shift+letter macro shortcuts; questions that offer Run, Overwrite, Shift Down or Shift Right; a step editor with a breakpoint gutter, drag to reorder, a command picker, reference boxes that switch between relative tokens and absolute references, Inputs and Output tabs, a debug bar (Check, Run, Step, Continue, Run to Here, Stop with keep or undo) and grid overlays for inputs, writes, conflicts and the current step |
| 2026-10-24 | Go To lists the named ranges of every sheet (`Sheet2!Name` for a name scoped to another sheet; hidden names, constants and formulas left out) and the references entered before, a double-click goes to an entry, and the Reference box takes several names or references separated by commas (`Price, Type`, `B14:C22,F19:G30`) |
| 2026-10-24 | Status bar: a right-click opens a menu that sets which selection statistics show (Average, Count and Sum by default; Numerical Count, Minimum and Maximum are new), kept with the preferences (`view.statusBar`) |
| 2026-10-24 | Ctrl+Shift+U (Control+Shift+U on a Mac) expands and collapses the formula bar, on the grid and while editing (`view.expandFormulaBar`); on Windows and Linux it used to underline |
| 2026-10-24 | Fill handle: from a date, the right-drag menu and the Auto Fill Options button offer Fill Days, Fill Weekdays (Saturday and Sunday skipped), Fill Months and Fill Years |
| 2026-10-24 | PivotTables: Enable show details (`pivot.options` `enableShowDetails`); turned off, Show Details and double-clicking a value cell list no records, and XLSX files keep the setting (`enableDrill`) |
| 2026-10-24 | PivotTables: right-clicking a value, subtotal or grand total cell offers Show Details in the cell menu, which lists the cell's source records on a new sheet as double-clicking does |
| 2026-10-24 | Sheet tabs: dragging the handle between the tabs and the horizontal scrollbar gives the tabs more or less of the bar, as in Excel; each open workbook keeps its own share |
| 2026-10-24 | Charts: 100% Stacked Area (`insert.chart` `{type: "area", subtype: "stacked100"}`), drawn as each value's share of its category's total; XLSX `percentStacked` area charts open as 100% stacked instead of stacked |
| 2026-10-23 | Accounting negatives in text: `$(1,234)`, `$ (5)` and `(5)%` read as negative numbers when typed, coerced by arithmetic or passed to VALUE, like Excel 365; `(-5)`, `((5))`, `$5%` and dates or times in parentheses stay text |
| 2026-10-23 | Calc: `INDEX(A1:C3,2)` (one index on a reference of several rows and columns) is `#REF!` as in Excel, instead of the whole row; `INDEX(A1:C3,2,)` still gives the row |
| 2026-10-22 | Formula hardening: digits too many for a finite number are text, so `"1 <400 digits>/<400 digits>"` no longer coerces to NaN; a NaN column index in VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP and the D-functions is `#VALUE!` instead of an index underflow; REGEXREPLACE stops building a result as soon as it can only be too long (a worst case went from 1 GB to 7 MB) (#2163, #2162) |
| 2026-10-22 | View › New Window and Arrange All on the ribbon. Arrange All tiles, stacks side by side or top to bottom, or cascades the native windows over the main window's monitor, the active one first. Two windows on one workbook show different sheets without copying the workbook or marking it changed; Save records the sheet of the window used last. A dialog stays in the window it was opened in |
| 2026-10-22 | On the desktop every workbook window is a native window of its own: New, Open and New Window open one, each keeps its own cell draft, dialog and ribbon, and the macOS menu bar acts on the window focused last. Closing one of several windows on a workbook doesn't ask; closing a workbook's last window, or quitting, asks about unsaved changes in that window. The last window closed quits on Windows and Linux; macOS keeps running with the menu bar. First craft-libs `craft-window` use (window list and viewport driver) |
| 2026-10-22 | View › New Window opens a second window on the same workbook (it used to open a copy whose Save overwrote the original): each window has its own selection, active sheet and scroll, titles read "Book1:1" / "Book1:2", and Switch Windows, Hide, Unhide and Close act per window. The control channel, CLI `send` and MCP tools take an optional `window` or `doc` id and default to the active window; `window.list` (MCP `list_windows`) lists the windows |
| 2026-10-22 | Typing in a cell and then choosing File › New no longer strands the first workbook: the entry is committed into its own workbook before any File or window command (a refused entry stays open and stops the command), View › Switch Windows and the macOS Window menu list the open workbooks with unsaved markers, `view.switchWindows {doc}` switches by a stable workbook id, and the macOS Quit item asks about unsaved workbooks |
| 2026-10-21 | Page Setup paper sizes match Japanese Excel: `B4`/`B5`/`B6` are the JIS sizes (ISO B4/B5/B6 stay reachable by name), so a Japanese B5 worksheet prints at 182×257 mm; Japanese Postcard (100×148 mm), Double Postcard (148×200 mm), Envelope #3/#4 (120×235/90×205 mm), Kaku #2/#3 (240×332/216×277 mm) and A6 are added, both sizes reach the PDF page (`file.exportPdf`/`file.print` MediaBox) and the size survives an XLSX round-trip; the Page Layout Size menu lists them. `B4`/`B5` used to be the ISO sizes, which is changed here |
| 2026-10-20 | Japanese interface catalog covers every key the Brazilian Portuguese catalog translates: the 398-label shared core plus 545 dialog, message, Backstage and menu strings (943 total, ~43% of ~2,200). A test parses `pt.rs`'s source, so the two catalogs stay in step |
| 2026-10-20 | Interface translated into Dutch (518 labels: ribbon, context menus, File view, dialog titles, Options); `nl`, `nl-NL`, `nl-BE` locale tags resolve to Dutch |
| 2026-10-19 | Long flat operator chains (`=A1+A2+…`) up to Excel's 8,192-character limit (4,096 operands): entering, filling, inserting rows, undo, Evaluate Formula and XLSX save no longer overflow the stack; chains past 64 operands are saved as plain formulas, not dynamic arrays; Spanish formula entry accepts chains past 256 operands (#916) |
| 2026-10-19 | Linux: "Use system setting" for the theme keeps following the desktop when the XDG Desktop Portal stops answering: each read gives up after 2 s and the next poll reconnects, where one unanswered call stalled the watcher for the rest of the session |
| 2026-10-16 | Memory: undo steps share a sheet's picture bytes and the workbook's VBA project instead of copying them: 50 edits on a sheet with a 20 MB picture keep 22 MB instead of 992 MB |
| 2026-10-16 | Memory: floating pictures are decoded at about the size they are drawn, with limits, into a cache bounded by bytes and dropped with their workbook, instead of at full size into one that never let go; two open workbooks no longer show each other's picture. 12 large pictures scrolled through keep 40 MB of textures instead of 258 MB, and none once the workbook closes |
| 2026-10-16 | The web app keeps its preferences between visits (#1562): theme (dark mode), interface size, language, editing options and the rest of what the desktop app saves in `ui.json` and `prefs.json` are kept in the browser's `localStorage`, written as soon as they change |
| 2026-10-16 | Memory: the interface and script fallback fonts are read once per run and shared with egui instead of copied into it: an empty workbook settles at 158 MB instead of 258 MB on macOS |
| 2026-10-15 | File › Options › Formulas: Maximum Iterations and Maximum Change fields for iterative calculation, disabled while it is off, with Excel's limits (1 to 32767, 0 or more) |
| 2026-10-15 | Function help follows the interface language: argument hints, autocomplete, Insert Function (search and readable categories) and the Formulas-tab menus read per-language tables of descriptions and argument names; Spanish keeps its 10 functions in the new format |
| 2026-10-15 | Row auto-fit counts a cell's line breaks only when the cell wraps, as Excel does: a file whose unwrapped cells hold multi-line text no longer opens with tall rows (typing a break still turns wrap on and grows the row) |
| 2026-10-14 | Lookups (MATCH, XMATCH, VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, LOOKUP) compare numbers exactly like Excel, so a computed key such as `=0.1+0.2` no longer finds 0.3; `=` and COUNTIF/SUMIF keep their 15-digit comparison |
| 2026-10-14 | Functions: EOMONTH, EDATE, WORKDAY, NETWORKDAYS, YEARFRAC, WEEKNUM, the bond and coupon functions, DISC, BIN2DEC, IM* and the other Analysis ToolPak functions give `#VALUE!` for a reference to more than one cell in a value argument, as Excel 365 does, instead of spilling; array constants and computed arrays still lift |
| 2026-10-14 | Protect Sheet on a protected sheet: Home › Format, its keytips (HOP, RPS) and the tab menu now read Unprotect Sheet… and unprotect (straight away without a password); a protected sheet that forbids selecting locked (or unlocked) cells is enforced for clicks, arrows and Go To, and the Protect Sheet dialog has the select options (#1346) |
| 2026-10-14 | `.xls` (Excel 97-2003) files open with their formatting: fonts, solid and pattern fills, borders (with diagonals), alignment (rotation, indent, wrap, shrink), locked and hidden cells, the workbook's custom colour palette, its Normal font and its user-defined cell styles |
| 2026-10-14 | XLSX: formulas opened with dynamic-array metadata (`cm`) keep it on save, with `xl/metadata.xml`. Before, a formula returning one value lost it (11 of 40 corpus files that have the part lost it entirely), and Excel recalculated some of them with implicit intersection (`SUMPRODUCT(IFERROR(...))` changed value) |
| 2026-10-14 | Recalculation: a dynamic array's anchor given a new formula that reads its old spill area (`A1` was `=SEQUENCE(3)`, becomes `=SUM(A2:A3)+1` or `=SEQUENCE(1,A2+1)`) sees that area empty instead of the old values |
| 2026-10-14 | Recalculation: when two arrays of one recalculation want the same empty cells, the formulas that read the one laid out second (at its anchor or over the cells it would have spilled into) read `#SPILL!` and empty cells instead of its values |
| 2026-10-14 | Border keytips: each Alt, H, B letter applies the preset Excel's Borders menu gives it (H,B,O bottom, H,B,B bottom double, H,B,N no border, H,B,A all borders and the rest); they all drew a bottom border before. H,B,M opens Format Cells on the Border tab |
| 2026-10-13 | Formula-entry Command/Ctrl-click inserts another reference with the locale's argument separator; Shift-click extends from a stable, sheet-aware anchor. Pointer tests cover repeated clicks, reversed ranges, ordinary replacement, typed separators, Spanish syntax, sheet switches and keyboard continuation. Readiness estimates unchanged. |
| 2026-10-13 | `formulas.evaluate` (`gridcraft-cli eval`, MCP `evaluate_formula`) refuses what entering the formula in a cell refuses, with the reason (`=SUM(1;2)`: "expected `,` or `)`"), instead of `#NAME?` for any formula that doesn't parse |
| 2026-10-13 | Colour menus: Fill Color, Font Color and the Format Cells pickers end with Recent Colors (the last ten custom colours) and More Colors… (hue/saturation area, RGB, hex box, preview, OK/Cancel) (#928) |
| 2026-10-13 | Multi-level category axes: a category range two or more columns wide beside a column of values (year beside month, Excel's `multiLvlStrRef`) draws its innermost labels across the plot and the outer levels in rows under them with group separators (columns beside the labels in bar charts), instead of flattening the two columns into twice as many categories; saving writes the reference back as `multiLvlStrRef` with Excel's level caches, so the axis survives a round trip |
| 2026-10-13 | Charts: a huge trendline forecast no longer collapses the chart: on a category axis it adds at most four times the data in empty slots (at least 32), the line is sampled over the plot only, and forecasts read from XLSX or set by command are clamped, NaN and infinity becoming 0 (#1148)
| 2026-10-13 | XLSX export writes a picture used on several sheets once, as one `xl/media` part every drawing points to (it wrote a copy per drawing: a 16-sheet workbook with one 112 KB logo grew from 0.4 to 1.9 MB) (#985) |
| 2026-10-13 | XLSX: `[Content_Types].xml`, `_rels/.rels`, the workbook rels and `xl/workbook.xml` are the first zip entries (document properties last), so libmagic and PHP `finfo` detect the file type even with large properties (#1090) |
| 2026-10-13 | Conditional formatting: a rule gathers range statistics only when it reads them (top/bottom, above average, duplicates, scales, bars, icons) and borrows them instead of copying them per cell, so the per-frame lookup of an expression or cell-value rule no longer visits its whole range (#1098, part 1) |
| 2026-10-12 | Next/previous sheet navigation stops at the first/last visible worksheet instead of activating a hidden boundary sheet; the current selection is retained |
| 2026-10-21 | Macro engine ([macros.md](docs/macros.md)): typed, declarative macros saved in the workbook (a JSON field; hidden names in xlsx); declared inputs checked with messages that name the cells; tokens (`Input.col(2)`, `Row`, `Output`, `Name:Total`, `{{…}}` in formulas); one undo step with full rollback; a footprint dry run with ask, fail, overwrite, shift down or shift right; a policy that keeps macros away from files and the app, with approval for macros in opened files; Repeat, If and Stop steps; a debugger; a relative recorder; `macro.*` commands beside the unchanged Automate scripts |
| 2026-10-12 | Security: the `--control` server requires an auth token (random, kept in a 0600 file or chosen with `GRIDCRAFT_CONTROL_TOKEN`) on each connection's first line and closes bad connections (#777) |
| 2026-10-12 | Rows auto-fit oversized fonts: opening a file and whole-row/column formatting grow non-custom rows to their tallest font (#833) |
| 2026-10-12 | Number formats: parsing a format code is linear in its length (long runs of `[`, `,` or `/` no longer take quadratic time), and an unclosed `[` is a literal when splitting sections as well as when tokenizing (#810) |
| 2026-10-12 | Number formats: a fraction denominator with 65,536 zeros no longer crashes; format codes are capped at 255 characters like Excel (longer codes display as General, `TEXT` gives `#VALUE!`) (#807) |
| 2026-10-12 | Security: cell hyperlinks open only http, https and mailto, after a confirmation; other schemes (file:, smb:, UNC, custom handlers) are refused (#777, part 1) |
| 2026-10-12 | Deleting several Ctrl-selected rows or columns removes them all in one undo step (#758) |
| 2026-10-12 | XLSX chart sheets are kept on open and save: the sheet, its drawing and chart (with style and colours) are written back unchanged in their place among the worksheets, and left out when the sheet they plot is deleted or renamed or a worksheet took their name (#727) |
| 2026-10-12 | CSV and tab-separated export is capped at 512 MiB: a sheet whose used range would expand to more (two cells far apart, such as A1 and XFD1048576, are 16 GiB of commas) is refused with the rows, columns and limit, before anything is allocated or written (#528) |
| 2026-10-12 | PDF writer hardening: text width cannot overflow, all-zero dash arrays and negative or NaN stroke widths are sanitised, non-finite sizes and positions draw nothing (#812) |
| 2026-10-12 | PDF export writes the document title and author as UTF-16BE when they are not ASCII, so viewers show accents, currency signs and non-Latin text correctly (#813) |
| 2026-10-12 | `TEXT()` over a range and chart labels parse each number format code once instead of once per value (#806) |
| 2026-10-12 | SUBTOTAL(109) over hidden rows recalculates after Row Height, AutoFit Row Height and Ungroup reveal rows (found by the command-sequence fuzz) |
| 2026-10-12 | Page Layout view: drag the margin edges on the rulers to set the page margins (resize cursor, live preview, value tooltip, one undo step, Esc cancels) (#792) |
| 2026-10-12 | Forecast Sheet gets Forecast Start: begin the forecast inside the history to compare it with the actuals (#785) |
| 2026-10-12 | Ink strokes save as unfilled DrawingML paths and reopen as editable ink with their points, colour and width; icons in #551 remain a follow-up |
| 2026-10-12 | The selection outline stays visible when extended to the last row (Ctrl+Shift+Down): its sides are cut to the viewport instead of stroking a 20-million-point rectangle (#687) |
| 2026-10-12 | File › Print selects a system printer, copies, duplex and grayscale, submits PDF jobs through craft-print on a worker and shows spooler errors; browser printing and PDF export remain available |
| 2026-10-11 | UI building blocks: theme tokens with a WCAG contrast test over both themes (icons and reference colours follow dark mode); ribbon scroll arrows and a large split button (Formulas › AutoSum opens its menu); the formula bar grows from one to five lines, then scrolls; a code editor widget with Python and LaTeX colouring |
| 2026-10-11 | Command-sequence fuzzing: random command sequences checked against undo/redo, XLSX round-trip and full recalculation; fixes for the table, legacy-array, spill, AutoSum, Watch Window and sheet-copy bugs it found |
| 2026-10-11 | Password-protected workbooks open: GridCraft asks for the password and decrypts Agile and Standard encryption (#11) |
| 2026-10-11 | Text boxes keep their formatting: run size, bold, italic, typeface, text colour and outline, alignment, vertical anchor and "no outline" (#377) |
| 2026-10-11 | Desktop printing opens the print PDF in the system viewer; Save As offers CSV, web page and PDF; macOS File › Properties opens File › Info (#370, #343) |
| 2026-10-11 | Windows: DirectX 12 shaders compile with FXC, so a missing or stray `dxcompiler.dll` no longer stops the app at start (#339, #354) |
| 2026-10-11 | Merged cells draw their whole outline: right and bottom edges come from the last column's and last row's cells (#376) |
| 2026-10-11 | Shrink to fit draws too-wide text and numbers in a smaller font inside the cell or merged area (#375) |
| 2026-10-11 | Shift+Space and Ctrl+Space select the row / column without starting an edit; Control+Space on Mac (#338) |
| 2026-10-11 | Workbooks reopen at their saved scroll position (`topLeftCell`, also with frozen panes) and save the current one back (#378) |
| 2026-10-11 | Protect Sheet passwords use Excel-compatible hashes and round-trip in XLSX `sheetProtection` (imported passwords verify instead of being dropped) |
| 2026-10-11 | Review › Protect Workbook opens a dialog with an optional password (Excel-compatible hash, kept in XLSX `workbookProtection`); unprotecting verifies it (#345) |
| 2026-10-11 | Formula bar, name box and dialogs fall back to the cell font: Hebrew (and any script cells can show) no longer turns into boxes there (#349) |
| 2026-10-11 | Headers and footers: first-page and odd/even variants are read, kept, printed and edited in Page Layout view; Insert › Header & Footer edits the header in place (#344) |
| 2026-10-11 | Legacy Excel 97-2003 `.xls` (BIFF8) import with formulas, number formats, merges, sizes and names (#121) |
| 2026-10-11 | XLSX pass-through: custom XML, external links, connections, query tables, printer settings, form/ActiveX controls and OLE objects are kept on save (#330, #324) |
| 2026-10-11 | Data › Forecast › Forecast Sheet: a new sheet with the history, FORECAST.ETS forecast, confidence bounds, statistics and a chart (#322) |
| 2026-10-11 | Startup no longer panics on a system font egui can't parse: fonts are validated and skipped (#226) |
| 2026-10-11 | Ctrl+drag on the fill handle swaps copying and extending a series (#264) |
| 2026-10-11 | Odd-period bond functions ODDFPRICE, ODDFYIELD, ODDLPRICE, ODDLYIELD: Financial 55 / 55 (#275) |

| 2026-10-11 | View › Interface size: a saved 75–200 % scale for the whole window (#230) |
| 2026-10-11 | View › Formula Bar and Zoom 100% reachable from the CLI and MCP (#289) |
| 2026-10-11 | Freeze panes by dragging the freeze handles on the header edges (#195) |
| 2026-10-11 | XLSX: threaded comments (replies, resolved, timestamps) and note visibility survive a save (#300) |
| 2026-10-11 | Cell checkboxes: Insert › Checkbox on the ribbon, Excel's Delete and value rules, XLSX round trip as Excel cell controls (#196) |
| 2026-10-11 | Review › Allow Edit Ranges with Excel-compatible password hashes, kept in XLSX (#307) |
| 2026-10-11 | PivotTable calculated fields (`pivot.calculatedField`), evaluated on sums like Excel, with XLSX round-trip (#304) |
| 2026-10-11 | PivotCharts (`insert.pivotChart`): charts bound to a PivotTable's report, following refreshes and layout changes (#311) |
| 2026-10-11 | FORECAST.ETS, FORECAST.ETS.CONFINT, FORECAST.ETS.SEASONALITY, FORECAST.ETS.STAT: AAA exponential smoothing forecasts (#314) |
