 ## Progress log
+- **2026-10-22 (M14, macOS association recovery candidate):** Successful desktop open/save/sign can queue recovery of an existing per-file binding to the running PDFCraft bundle through NSWorkspace. Metadata-only watcher changes retain undo and avoid false overwrite prompts; real same-length/same-mtime edits remain protected. Rebased on 0.12.0 and reuses #3042's shared atomic metadata preservation; the bounded recovery parser does not narrow save limits. Prior native Preview TEST-signature and Finder workflows passed on macOS 27.0.1; other versions remain unqualified. Estimates unchanged.
 - **2026-10-13 (M7, free image rotation):** A selected page image has a rotate knob (Shift: 15 degree steps) and `image_edit` a `rotate_by` action; the angle is written as one undoable `cm`. Snapping to page edges while moving is in #1740; resize snapping is not done. Estimates unchanged.
 
 - **2026-10-20 (M4, initial view):** Window and interface options read indirect boolean ViewerPreferences values. Synthetic regressions cover true/false, direct/indirect preference dictionaries and save/reopen; malformed entries retain false defaults. Estimates unchanged.
