 ## Progress log
 
+- **2026-10-25 (M5, comment replies):** One reply can be deleted from the Comments panel without its thread. On the selected card each reply has its own "…" menu (Edit, Copy text, Delete); Delete takes that reply with its pop-up and the replies to it, as `comment_delete` already did headlessly, and the comment and its other replies stay. The card stays selected, and the panel's editor stays open, on what they were on though the delete moved it in `/Annots`. A locked reply can't be deleted. Estimates unchanged.
 - **2026-10-24 (M10, #4158 partial):** Word, HTML, RTF and PowerPoint export keep a block that continues another on its line (an italic case name, a link, a superscript) as a run in its own style inside that paragraph, with the source's word space, instead of a paragraph of its own. Style changes that wrap onto the next line still split paragraphs (the reading blocks keep style boundaries). Estimates unchanged.
 - **2026-10-24 (M3, window move on Wayland, #3970 follow-up):** After a move or resize by PdfCraft's own title bar or edges, the button release given back to egui goes before the pointer leaving the window, so hover no longer sticks at the old place until the pointer moves. Found by CodeRabbit in review of #3970; a unit test covers it. Estimates unchanged.
 - **2026-10-24 (M14, #4253):** The annotation quick bar remembers Keep tool selected across restarts, including unpinning. Old and malformed settings keep safe defaults; the opt-in UI control channel reads and changes the same preference. Estimates unchanged.
